It's still relatively early going for this, but the real game changer is gonna be the so-called 'Covid pill' or some real deal treatment, which by all accounts is coming soon.

And it's gonna be a shittier day when some superstar has to retire from long haul covid or a huge chunk of the roster gets sick. But this also is only new because covid is new. But if your middle linebacker is sick with the flu you wouldn't want him coming into the facility either. When the Giants had an outbreak of Staph infection a few years ago they quarantined the player that got it, deep cleaned/disinfected their buildinfs, tested every member of the staff and player on roster, and moved their operations off-site until they could assess the safety of their facility.

You take the reasonable precautions for the situation. The way they're doing things now still makes sense for where we are. I don't know what's going in the team meetings with masks and air filtration and whatnot, but sequestering players that test positive, for the time being, makes sense. If a low ankle sprain was highly contagious then any team in the league would want to quarantine anyone with a low ankle sprain until they had a better handle on it.

We both know you're right, I've just got covid fatigue, man. I want this stuff to fade away so we can get back to somewhere closer to normal.

You're not wrong either. It's getting better, but it'll take some time, and dealing with the idiots making things worse. But despite them, things are trending the right way.

I just recently also saw my sister and a good friend get hit with breakthrough cases that really hit them brutally hard. They're both otherwise healthy people and both vaccinated, although not boostered. It was a good reminder to not dismiss it.

It's still worth taking seriously without going totally overboard. In general I think the NFL has been handling this relatively well. And they don't handle anything relatively well.
