Nope. Personally, I don't understand why guys are being kept out of the lineup. We have vaccines now, and a fully automated world for those with serious health concerns to be able to stay at home. If you don't want the vaccine, that's your problem. You can only spread it those who have been vaccinated (so, not in danger) or those who aren't, which is their own damn fault. We can't shut down society because some people are too stupid to know what's good for them.

Not here in the UK, vaccine passports will be enough.

We can't shut down society because some people are too stupid to know what's good for them. I imagine the teams want it that way. When one player enters the facility with the virus they increase everybody's chances of contracting it, and taking out more or their roster. If you're running a team you don't really care that it's your starting free safety's own fault that he didn't get vaccinated and got sick, you're just pissed that his breathing is affected and hes not the player he was 3 weeks ago. And as we all know there are breakthroughs and variants. To say you're not in any danger if you're vaccinated is misleading. They're trying to protect their rosters. Makes sense to me. |

Danger is a relative term at this point. I just wonder how long we're going to keep this charade going? Players held out from games while the stadium is filled with tens of thousands of people, no masks? I was at Gillette a couple weeks ago and didn't see any masks. Masks are only required if you're unvaccinated at Gillette, and with 70,000 people I never heard anyone ask to see anyone's vaccination card. We need to ask ourselves how seriously we still want to take this, and for how long. There will always be new variants, it will supplant the flu as the seasonal illness, which we have vaccines to combat. So how many years in the future will we be testing for covid as if it's the black plague? Hey, I get wanting to keep the illness from spreading in your locker room (or any place of business), but we need to keep things in perspective. It isn't March 2020 anymore, there are solutions to these problems that don't include shutting the world down or acting as if anyone infected is on their deathbed. It's going to be shitty the day a superstar in any sport gets held out of a championship game because he tested positive despite being vaccinated and asymptomatic.

It's going to be shitty the day a superstar in any sport gets held out of a championship game because he tested positive despite being vaccinated and asymptomatic. 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. |

Yes, good news on the Pfizer pill today in terms of drastically decreasing hospitalizations. The news, though, is from Pfizer, so it needs to be confirmed by an independent source. Fingers crossed, though, that it's a game changers. I agree about taking every reasonable precaution in the meantime.

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. |

Both Browns starting tackles and guards, all three of their tight ends, and Jarvis Landry will be out due to COVID this Sunday. They may not be able to field a team.

I don't think it's like outside the realm of possibilities, but I think it would be unlikely. Maybe there is a return to limited capacity first?
I do value the rational opinions in this thread though. Agree or disagree what is right, things here seem pretty civil.

Not league shutdowns, no. Yet postponements & cancellations will likely persist through the winter.
If the Nets could only dress 4 last night against the Raptors instead of the league minimum 8, that game would've been postponed not cancelled.
Olympic hockey players are rightfully feeling wary about China's hard line against positives, some fearing 3-5 week quarantines, yet that is far more politically driven by the country. Chatter is maybe talk the IOC into playing hockey games somewhere NHL domestically with an empty building like Seattle... yet that train left the station months ago.
NFL playoffs are the next biggie on the horizon. Single games, locked in weekly matchups... I'd guess we shouldn't be shocked if a weeknight playoff game is on the 2022 horizon.
