Multiple Players Test Positive

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Well, that’s your opinion. I currently work and have worked during this pandemic and get tested regularly. So, I’m probably not the best person for you to assume would have a different perspective. Because honestly I wouldn’t.

If you wore a different hat and was responsible for making decisions limiting lawsuit liability aT the company you owned or worked for you would. Otherwise you would be incompetent.

Bunch of false positives.

And there you have it...

 

[Delmar]

No players have gotten sick from Covid, and none will. Barely anyone has died from it in this country. The #s are bogus. This is the grand daddy of all false flag operations.

. I have a question for the group. How do you put someone on Ignore? Seriously this clown is simply trolling and it is not worth reading any of his comments. Most of the other tinfoil hat guys would never say that barely anyone has died from it. That is blatantly ignorant and he’s just looking for attention.

 

[Delmar]

For all you “it’s about the safety of the players” hypocrites, spare us.

30 players have died of heat exhaustion in college football practices since 2000. We’ve seen players paralyzed on the field. We’ve seen untold concussions, snapped bones popping through legs and arms, shredded ligaments, etc. You know what is far more dangerous to college football players than COVID? Wait for it....... PLAYING FOOTBALL!

So for the COVID fusspots out there, you didn’t want to shut down football after any of the 30 heat stroke practice deaths, you didn’t want to shut down after a number of players breaking their necks, you didn’t want to shut down after untold concussions, you didn’t want to shut down after Marcus Lattimore or Tryone Prothro suffered injuries so horrendous it made people sick to their stomachs, oh but now.... now you do... because of a virus that’s tantamount to a mild cold for these players.

If you weren’t leading on shutting down football when Devon Gales of Southern University, was paralyzed on the field in Athens in 2015, nobody wants to hear your politicking now.

Let’s play football, our country needs it.

You sound about as intelligent as Ed Orgeron. “Yaw, yaw. Yaw, yaw, yaw......fuh-baw!!!

Maybe someone will intervene.

And I appreciate your entitled world view where you find it a-okay to shut down a major industry (college football) or any other industry in our capitalist system, based on your selfishness and admitted fear. Go wallow in your own fear, don’t burden the rest of us with it.

People who want to shut football down, and society down, are cowards and quitters.

You calling somebody selfish is the height of hypocrisy. Your statements show you don’t care about anybody but yourself. The heck with anybody else’s health, we gotta have some fuh-baw!!!

 

[Delmar]

Ad hominems aside, no one wants a fall without college football. The consequences of our actions (and lack thereof) are likely to bring that into reality, unfortunately.

Exactly

A Second Coronavirus Death Surge Is Coming

There was always a logical explanation for why cases rose through the end of June while deaths did not.

Percentages (death) are misleading because of the easy spread of COVID. Number of deaths should trump and bear more weight than percentages.

Yeah, thats not how this works. Thats not how any of this works.

Tennessee reports positives from latest round of Covid-19 tests

Multiple Tennessee Vols have post July 4 positive COVID-19 tests

Tennessee football has first positive COVID-19 cases...The inevitable has happened.

Tennessee Vols: Multiple athletes have tested positive for coronavirus this month

“Multiple” Vol Athletes Test Positive for COVID-19

Positive COVID-19 cases in Tennessee Veterans Homes

BREAKING: COVID-19 hits Vol athletics in post July 4th test results

What's that death rate again? And if not death, are we dealing with a sore throat, or (and God forbid) flu-like symptoms? Flu 2: Resurrection.

Missing the point. Death rates should be ignored if the virus is as contagious as it is. 135k dead is 135k dead and the percentages are irrelevant. More in 4 months than the deaths in Vietnam and Korea combined and they both combined lasted maybe 15 years? Think of the impact those wars had on our history which still lasts today for those who served and are sti alive today. This is at least a top 3 US crisis since 1900.

30 died of heat exhaustion...

Well, you can't "give" heat exhaustion to someone else. The cure for it is liquid and chillin the eff out.

So If 31 football players die in within the first month...what will be your excuse then?

Please petition your state to succeed from the union. Many of us Big Orange fans would be ecstatic to sign even with added chad !

 

[norrislakevol]

I am happy that your experience was not bad, but there are people that have suffered a lot more. Even people at a younger age. I know someone that was in their mid 50s that was off of work for 22 days because of how ill they were. So it is not a one size fits all. A University that tells football players where to be, what time and do what they are told are at a liability risk. So yeah, it is kinda of a big deal even if it wasn't to you.

I know a person who was 32 and died from the flu. It happens. I know someone in their late 30s who got strep and ended up dying from meningitis, it happens. I am 41 and still suffer terrible pain from time to time from a bout with the flu when I was 23 years old. It caused my immune system to attack my nerve cells that aid in swallowing food, leading to difficulty swallowing and and extremely painful esophageal spasms. Even after surgery I still deal with the extremely painful spasms every 7 to 10 days. Sometimes they are so bad that if I do nothing about it I start vomiting or even get woosy and pass out. Cold sweat, agony.

You know what though, that's life. That's the way it goes. We can't live our lives in fear, and if you do then all you do is miss out, and cause others to do the same.

Think of the impact those wars had on our history which still lasts today for those who served and are sti alive today. This is at least a top 3 US crisis since 1900.

Already been over this first point, but must repeat: 3million died in Vietnam. 5million in Korean War. Covid doesn't even come close to either.

But more than that, your logic is flawed. By your logic, the really big killers, like heart disease (~18million last year, worldwide) and cancer (~9.5million) should be The Top 2 US (and Global) Crises every year since 1900. Or 1800. Or 1700.

But they're not. Instead, they are family crises. Crises at the community level. A loved one dies to one of these killers, and it's a crisis for the family and friends. They hold a funeral, maybe a visitation or wake, they bury or cremate, they mourn and remember, and then they figure out how to move on with the pain of the loss.

It happens over and over again, in towns and cities and rural areas around the world.

But they're not National Crises or International Crises.

Why not?

Because we have to live with them. Same as deadly automobile accidents. We mitigate and reduce the risks as best we can while recognizing that there's no way to eliminate the danger. We continue to look for cures, better safety features, ways to reduce risk. Meanwhile, we get on with life.

The world hasn't yet had the lightbulb come on for covid-19 (though it seems perhaps Sweden did). A lot of folks haven't yet realized that this new disease is, like heart disease or the flu or German measles or the common cold, with us from now on. The genie doesn't go back into the bottle.

We will eventually, collectively, learn to live with this new disease, get better at mitigating its risks (hopefully including a vaccine), and figure out how to get on with our lives in spite of it. We will send our kids to school in spite of it. We will play football in spite of it. We will go out for a drink with friends in spite of it.

Not because we want to live with it. But because we don't have a choice.

It seems a whole lot of us, led by a hysterical media, haven't yet figured this simple truth out.

And you're one of them. Brother, this isn't a war: we don't have the ability to turn it off and go home. Best idea is to stop thinking of it that way.

We are talking about US deaths. I’m comparing apples to apples but you are not. I am talking about the human toll on the US from COVID compared to Vietnam and Korea. You are not.
