Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

"...several football players raised concerns about their safety..."

There's about 1200 players on SEC football teams but "several" are to be the deciding factor?

Lol it was two in the story

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

This all day long and twice on Sunday. God Bless and GBO!!!!!

Save the GBO until the season starts about this time next year.

Agree for the most part with you, but school administrators and athletic departments don’t want to get handed lawsuits 5-10 years from now from players who were “coerced to play” after being told COVID was harmless and now they claim to have permanent lung damage. Sounds a little out there, but that’s the world we live in - no one wants the liability or to be blamed for anything negative

 

[RDU VOL#14]

While COVID cases are up, the good news is that VD cases are down.

So, there's that.

Another benefit to this being over

“Several” are just the ones speaking out. I bet the ones concerned would be 50% or greater. I know I would be especially playing football or basketball.

Well I guess I'm forced to accept your totally unsubstantiated speculation because you believe in science.

 

[Rickyvol77]

That’s not how lawsuits work - all the plaintiffs would have to do is claim they felt pressure to play and were not informed of all the health risks associated with COVID. Not saying they would win, only that these types of claims and suits are what keep school chancellors up at night

You clearly have no idea of what you speak of

 

[CaliVol2009]

Doesn’t appear to be any. Know anyone who got sick and said they tested negative?

Know numerous people.

Actually, he’s correct. It’s the exact reason the new COVID relief package is stalled in the Senate. McConnell and others want a bill to remove liability from’ employers’

 

[Rickyvol77]

Ummmm yes, Tennessee has had two athletes hospitalized already.

And they were fine

All I know is the flu and pneumonia have taken the year off. over 34k in 2019 vs just 6k in 2020 and I do not remember people living in fear,wearing masks and trying to cancel everything and stop living. People are told to live in fear and that is exactly what they are doing. Before anybody tries to say wait until somebody close to you gets it. Well too late, my wife had it back in early Jan and they had no ideal what to call it ,so they called it a upper respiratory infection and she was laid up for about 10 days. Right now one of my friends was told that he has it but there is just one little problem with that. He was never tested for it. So believe whatever it is you are going to believe.

People can develop decent opinions about human behavior which more times than not is right when you have had nearly 60 years of life experiences.

 

[tnvols72]

another story, I know another guy who was told that he tested positive with a 99 dg temp and not one thing is wrong with him.

Flu season hasn’t even started yet. Jesus Christ you guys are clueless.

Flu season really takes a toll in the fall. Not saying you may not have a point but it’s disingenuous to use 6,000 s a 2020 tally when the meat of the activity has not yet occurred

 

[SpookyAction]

Similarities and Differences between Flu and COVID-19 from the CDC


And the precise accuracy of the tests is unknown.
The anitbodies test is very accurate, but results take a while, and only give positive results after the infection has ended.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Ayyy let's see how many conspiracy theories we can fit in one thread. If the flu ICU patients are so large in number that the hospitals have to suspend all other elective procedures and bleed revenue for 3 months, they'd get paid a little extra for those patients too

Lol you are clueless if you believe that hospital ICUs are “filled up” Because of Covid

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

And they were fine

Not the point. It is the spread to others (general population) which will be the determining factor by the decision makers if we have football or not. Why is that so hard to understand?

It’s not other than to the “they have to risk their lives to play?” Idiots

 

[SpookyAction]

I hope flu season will be light if enough people are taking precautions to prevent Covid-19.

She she traveled abroad in the few weeks before she had the illness?

No he’s not. study up on Tennessee state law on tort liability.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

You failed the IQ test. The answer isn’t masks...the answer is correctly identifying and addressing underlying health issues and becoming healthier as a nation.

Yeah I'm sure COVID will happily oblige people the time needed to get skinny, much the same way germs happily observe the "5 second rule" before attaching themselves to food when it hits the floor.

 

[Vol8188]

Where do get 80,000 flu deaths in the US? CDC lists 34,000 in 2019

2017-2018 deaths are estimated to be as high as 95k. But they normally give the median of their high and low end estimate which was 61.

I have not seen too many people worried or posting that college athletes are going to start dying at high numbers.
