    For once I actually agree with you. These shut downs in general do more damage than good. All of these “measures” do very little to stop the spread of a virus. It just has to run its course.

    The fact that not one Vikings player has tested positive is also pretty telling. It’s not like they were socially distancing or wearing mask during the game. From what I’ve heard, you need to be in close quarters with an infected person for more than 15 minutes in most cases to catch it.

    So like you said, it should be business as usual. I haven’t heard of even one of these “positive” players even having symptoms. So we’re canceling games and players aren’t even sick.

    Having a mild case of the sniffles for a couple days is what I call a cold. Not a reason to shut everything down because a few people with virtually zero mortality risk have a cold.

    They have learned a lot about this bug since the early days. I saw a Doctor the other day talking about how the therapeutics that they have developed recently is making the risk of death much lower, even with the higher risk group. And that as time goes on, we will have the death rate as a whole in line with the flu, even without a vaccine.

    I know some of you guys seem to love these lockdowns and defend them vehemently, but I think they are counter productive.

    Just because someone has mild or no symptoms doesn't mean if they pass it on to someone else they are going to get just mild or no symptoms as well.

    Everyone is reacting differently to it, that's why it needs to be taken serious.

    Shut down games for 2 weeks, everyone self isolates, get retested, I bet the cases are alot lower.

    Only thing is it’s a virus, isn’t going anywhere, and will run it’s course. Not disagreeing with your point.

    Shut the league down for two weeks, get the players union to agree to strict iso, etc. Won’t happen, and still may not work. Teams are huge

    Titans being investigated by NFL now for breach of covid protocols. This week has been a $hi+ storm for this team.

    Separate note, but awhile ago we spoke about Josh Allen (refer to 2020 titans schedule thread)
    Any chance you altered your view at all?
