Aaaah, this makes sense.

The Bus driver for the Titans tested positive for Covid. 

Quote

 

The bus driver who drove the Tennessee Titans to their game last weekend in Minnesota, and who also drove MLB's Houston Astros on their trip for a playoff series this week against the Minnesota Twins, tested positive for COVID-19, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday per sources informed of the situation.

After news of multiple Titans players and personnel testing positive for COVID-19 surfaced, the Astros removed the driver, Pelissero added.

"We are aware of the situation and are comfortable that all of our health and safety protocols have been followed," Major League Baseball said in a statement.

 

I was wondering how on earth Covid spread to a NFL team out of no where. So difficult for it to spread outdoors and under the highly precautious protocols indoors at the stadiums. 

 

But the Bus. THE BUS. No better place for Covid to spread. Small, enclosed space with lots of folks for half an hour? Yep, that will do it. Covid's wet dream.

And this right here is why I say anyone trying to predict draft order 3 games into the season is fooling themselves. COVID is a random variable of far greater magnitude than any seen in the history of the game. This incident could be its greatest impact on the season or it could only be the beginning. There is no way to know for sure because the situation is without precedent.

It's good that the NFL is doing the testing they are doing.

They may want to consider extending that testing to pretty much anyone who will be in contact with the teams.

I would be throwing n95 masks and goggles on every player for every bus and plane trip. Pretty much take away any chance of this happening again at such a low low cost.

If the driver knew they had the Corona and still went out to work - needs to face criminal charges

Not necessarily trying to go off on a tangent, but thousands of kids across North Carolina will be getting on buses soon enough. Moreover, according to a recent very thorough study in India, kids spread coronavirus essentially as much as adults do, so...We're about to enter a crazy situation.

I heard the bus driver showered with the Titans after the game too - probably spread there

yup, i'd bet not one person on that bus was wearing a mask.

Titans had a coach test positive before they went to Minnesota though so I don’t know that you can definitely say it was the driver.

No, you can't, but you can say it spread like wildfire on the bus. Even the bus driver got it.

Didn't the Raiders get caught at an event recently not wearing any mask? Just SMH.
