Here's an idea: How about if you stay in that thread that you seem irrationally obsessed with, which was about the original COVID outbreak and not the breaking news of the game being postponed, and just let us have a rational discussion in this thread on this particular topic if it bothers you so much that you have to make two separate posts about how annoyed you are that there are two threads that are semi-related but not at all the same thread?

I see your point with the schedule. I’m more curious as to the threshold that warrants postponing.

Has anyone given a specific number or % that will be the standard going forward?

Cause you can take each situation separately depending on the team. Has to be a baseline for teams to follow.

There is no set threshold for cancellation/postponement, instead there is an advisory committee that will assist Goodell with making recommendations on a case by case basis.

I just don't like that this is being termed 'a rash of covid cases.' 9 total cases confined to one team and its staff doesn't seem like a rash.

So basically anyone that is a threat to the Patriots? LOL

I’m kidding.

An advisory committee should have a baseline to work with vs just what ever they feel is right.

Yep the politics of it is annoying as ****.

Q

this isn't the last time this will happen, but you get better at dealing with the problem. My best guess is that by week 12 some team will have 5 new cases and we won't really bat an eye, because there will be established, effective responses.

the first ones are always the most serious, because you haven't dealt with the problem yet.

Players WILL get covid. It will happen all year.

The goal is not to prevent covid, the goal is to prevent a super spreading event that cripples multiple teams.

My best guess is that we are gonna be watching more football on Tuesdays, and that will be ****ing SWEET.

To his credit, that thread was dedicated specifically to this event and the repercussions (e.g. postponement).

This thread dilutes the discussion and is actually a shit thread started by a shit poster, who didn't even bother looking at the fist page in the thread list.

So how's about you shut the **** up, thurman. Loochy had a great point.

Tuesday football or multiple MNF games would be awesome. Won’t complain in the least.

It you would of those with the devastation all off season thy would of put together a solid plan it’d of t omg the wait til this team is decimated by Covid before we react as in this case.

Soooooo.........

Why aren't they just holding out the players and coaches that showed that tested positive?

Interesting. But if they had contact with other players. Shouldn’t there be a 14 day quarantine to flatten the curve within that franchise?

Regardless of positive or negative tests?

They are, but they are doing further testing before the game to ensure there aren't other positives they don't know about. They are keeping the players isolated for an incubation period before testing as doing a test 1 or 2 days after exposure is a waste of time.

No one sick and people who are positive know
To querenntee. That's really good for 4 weeks in

My Yahoo league now shows the Steelers having bye weeks in week 4 and 8.

I know its just fantasy but they are showing the Steelers players as out.
