I would treat it in the same manner as if it were any other viral infection because that is all it is. I wouldn’t go around anyone without warning them or being completely restrained from touching anything without gloves. I don't have any more respect for it than any other infectious virus or bacteria. If it’s something contagious the it should be isolated and not expose anyone else. It’s my opinion that COVID is overhyped as to the dangers and I believe statistically the mortality numbers will bear that out. It’s not any more dangerous whether there is 1000 or 100000 are infected the danger is no greater.
I go to the office with the regular flu or common cold, but I'd just stay at my desk coughing and weezing, pounding Robitussin, get my work done without much horseplay and then go home.

With this coronavirus, though, I'm guessing I'll be punished for showing up to work sick, whether it's coronavirus or common cold.

What am I supposed to do...get a covid test for every time I fell under the weather just so I can justify my presence at the office?

Covid has mutated to be about 10 times as contagious as it was in the Spring.

That same mutation made it less deadly, but not by as much.

The resulting numbers when added across the whole country and especially for older folks who catch it mean a lot of deaths.

If a twenty-something gets it, I’m not as concerned if they get good treatment. But if all beds are filled what then?

Other change I'd make is the defensive pass interference.

There's the typical spot foul if egregious, but if it's excessive hand-fighting, then only 15-yards.

Getting 40 yards for hand-fighting is fucking ridiculous.

I'm not for any rule that puts more rules up to the judgment of the refs.

True, but it's a rule to lessen the draconian penalty of the original rule.

Consider it the voluntary manslaughter option to a first-degree murder charge

Why hasn't SNL done a fucking parody skit spoofing these J Balvin McDonalds commercials?

AndySamberg doing one would be hilarious.

That commercial is beyond ridiculous.

My son has a friend that sells to local grocery stores and restaurants. He grows microgreens and other veggies. This kid is 18 years old and makes about $4000 a week. He is brilliant and has built himself 4 greenhouses. Kid is amazing.

Pretty soon we'll all be raging about a big Ben DiNucci extension.
