72 players in the NFL test positive for Covid 19

[SmokinwithWilly]

Just have the players play the season on madden. No covid, wildly entertaining if uncut, and we may even be able to trade our 2nd and an UDFA for the 1st in 2021.

No NFL season this year. Bank on it. We had a chance to get this virus under control but we failed miserably as a country.

Does it bother you at all that most of the companies working to develop a Covid-19 vaccine are growing it on cell lines using aborted fetal tissue? No thanks.

What else are we supposed to do with those aborted fetal tissues?

What would you do with them?

I understand that every person has a different opinion on this sort of thing but I want no part of it. 

If a COVID-19 vaccine is developed and 95% of Americans eventually have it you "have a part of it" even if you choose not to because you're protected by herd immunity.  You should probably move to Somalia or a similarly chaotic place without a functioning government to avoid this problem.

Here's a list of every other vaccine or person vaccinated with said vaccines you should avoid since you seem to have a severe moral problem with this issue:

The problem with this is that research hasn't shown people are developing immunity following exposure like normal viruses.

Antibodies seem to be short-lived but the early returns on studies focused on t-cell immunity are supposedly promising.

I mean if they are just going to go to waste we might as well use them for something especially if it’s going to help college basketball season start on time

You are welcome to your opinion as well as I am. If we all thought alike things would be boring. You get the vaccine, I will be happy for you. I’m not going to get it.

It’s an ethical dilemma for sure.

COVID is crazy contagious.  We can't forget that. 

Is it ? I know 3 different people with families that were tested as positive after having cold like symptoms and no one in their family were positive at any point up to 5 weeks after the  “infected” person was cleared.

I’m pretty sure the science of residual immunity from natural infection and or vaccination is a long way from being settled.

While moving to Somalia is possible it is complicated. As are pretty much any country unless you get a job or marry a Somalian/Local.

Point being when libs say "I'm moving to Canada if" or repugs say "I'll buy your plane ticket to Somalia" neither is likely to happen.

But point taken.

He just got triggered, give him a break.

At basically 100% survival rate it’s still more likely one of them dies in a crash on the way to practice than of Covid. Not a bit concerning.Start the damn season already.
