Round up the entire roster, quarantine them for 3 weeks, give them rona and then move on without concern.

Easy.

Throw Jerry in there too while you're at it.

Would be nice but is there anything that suggests you can't get it twice?

Report: Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott tests positive for coronavirus

Sources tell The News’ Michael Gehlken that two is believed to be the number of Cowboys players who recently tested positive for COVID-19.

Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has tested positive for the new coronavirus, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday.



Elliott’s agent, Rocky Arceneaux, said Elliott is “feeling good,” according to Rapoport. Sources told The Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken that two is believed to be the number of Cowboys players who recently tested positive for COVID-19.



“Due to federal and local privacy laws, we are unable to provide information regarding the personal health of any of our employees," the Cowboys said in a statement. "We are following all CDC, local and NFL guidelines to keep our facilities safe, including limiting employee access.”



Coaches and limited staff have returned to work at The Star in Frisco, but players have continued with virtual instruction this offseason. The league sent a memo to teams last week outlining safety protocols for when players do return, but it did not include a timetable.



Last week saw a spike in positive coronavirus cases in Dallas County. The county reported 302 more coronavirus cases Sunday, the fifth day in a row with more than 300 new cases. The county averaged 300 cases last week, its highest seven-day average.



Elliott has spent at least part of the offseason working out in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with quarterback Dak Prescott, former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and other NFL players. Several videos of these workouts, posted to social media in early April, drew criticism for a lack of social distancing and violating the letter of Dallas County’s shelter-in-place orders at the time.

I don't think it's been fully validated but it does seem to be the working theory for now at least.
No one knows how long coronavirus antibodies stay in our system. It's also much harder to spread the virus if you have antibodies and are not showing symptoms.

The SARS coronavirus that spread to thirty countries in early 2003 slowed to a trickle by year's end. I'm encouraged that the SARS coronavirus was contained and did not mutate in 2003.

This new coronavirus is so ridiculously widespread it may take years to finally die down, and with so many infections I wouldn't be surprised to see it mutate.

Yea, I find it amusing that he's calling out HIPAA when his own agent confirmed the news.
How did the news get out in the first place, from his agent? Or was he just confirming once it was out?

All I saw was a Rapoport tweet that mentioned his agent confirming it, it seemed like the news about "multiple Cowboys" having it came out then Rapoport reported Elliott was one of them and mentioned his agent.

Brandon Brooks tore his Achilles working out at the Eagles complex and is out for the year.

You just hate to see it.
