I knew something like this would happen. Now, lets see if the NFL will actually do what they said they would do. Why are people blaming it on Florida though? 

Because they played in Jacksonville (the Jags were on the road against Houston) as the alternate site as they were displaced by Hurricane Ida.

I don't buy it. They were there for what 2 days?  So lets consider from Fri/Sat to Tuesday so 5 days ago?

Ya know as a doctor I would expect you to have a better grasp on how infectious diseases work 

I am not a Doctor, I am a Medic. I know exactly how Infectious Diseases work. Here is an exceprt of what I mean. If it came from Florida (which I am not sure why it would be just Florida and not Louisiana, which also has a reassurgence of COVID. They were tested too early for it to be from Florida. So either they were false positives, other players/staff had false negatives, or both. I wouldn't pin it n Florida, It more than likely came from were ever they were staying prior to the game ( Texas, Louisiana and maybe Flordia possibly). If that is were they were staying. 

"The researchers estimated that those tested with SARS-CoV-2 in the four days after infection were 67% more likely to test negative, even if they had the virus. When the average patient began displaying symptoms of the virus, the false-negative rate was 38%. The test performed best eight days after infection (on average, three days after symptom onset), but even then had a false negative rate of 20%, meaning one in five people who had the virus had a negative test result."

I think they were also in Texas or something....

So two hotspots where Covid ran rampant.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
