NFL Covid protocols

[Pine_Tree1]

The NFL is putting a ton of emphasis on player to player transmission but welcoming 65,000+ unmasked, who knows if symptomatic/vaccinated people in the stands across the country ever Sunday.

Additionally, they are only testing symptomatic & unvaccinated players/coaches but you can still get & pass Covid while vaccinated (I have) & while asymptomatic.

You either care or you don't and it's all about optics. NFL is just checking the boxes they need to.

You could say the exact same thing about the NCAA.

Let's call a spade a spade. The Browns benching 10 players last night is not stopping any spread or flattening any curve in Cleveland when the stadium is filled to the gills with fans the NFL views as discardable income

From the beginning of this whole thing, has an NFL player been hospitalized from COVID?

Seems like each and every play risks the health of a player much more than Covid. Do they “care” about broken legs and concussions?

has any professional athlete under the age of 40 died from COVID globally?

Covid? No. Covid Vax? Probably, but you won't hear about it. Just like the best player on UGA's basketball team, Dalen Ridgnal. He is only allowed to play in 3 minute stints, but UGA won't say why. It is myocarditis caused by the covid vaccine. Shhhhh!

And there has been a spike in Omicron deaths. There has been one possible in the U.S. We’d better shut down the economy. Or at least sit a millionaire athlete down. He’ll still get paid, so no harm…..

140 players are currently out due to Covid. That’s 10% of the league. I’m guessing the jab isn’t very effective when you compare it to natural immunity and the overall survival rate
