Cam Newton Tests Positive; Out for KC game

[SHOWTIME15]

Has this already been determined a confirmed positive?

yes

 

[Taco]

Covidgate?

 

[GreenCow]

You don't know a private chef didn't bring it to him or something like that. Stop jumping the gun.

If a private chef is dropping off food at his door, then no, that did not happen.

Surface transmission is extremely unlikely.

i heard somewhere raiders had a fundraiser before they played patriots

And it’s because of selfish players.

Live the bubble life for 16 weeks then party all you want. Or go to restaurants. Or whatever.

NBA did it right.

The NBA has a bubble. The NFL doesn't. There's no rule telling players to act like there is one.

Take it up with the league if you have a problem with that.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

This is getting out of control, the NFL is at risk of a full on explosion.

 

[GreenCow]

Yes, don’t go out for months. Got it. Because that’s totally a normal thing to do.

No, it’s not normal.

Pandemics aren’t normal.

Gotta get over that.

NBA has ZERO cases because all the players are living a bubble life.

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

yes

Then more than likely will see additional positive in the coming days like the Titans had.

 

[slash83]

The chance of contracting COVID from a surface (gas pump, atm, etc) is extremely small.

CDC said that months ago.

He got it because he went out somewhere. Without a doubt.

nfl players don’t live in an isolated bubble like nba players do. This was just a matter of time until **** hit the fan.

I can’t see this game happening as scheduled. Could take days to test positive after exposure. It’d be a huge risk to take playing the game Sunday.

 

[Tony2046]

I know that no one else is the organization has it yet. Everyone else has tested negative.

Meaning he is the one who brought it in. He is patient zero.

And I know that Covid doesn’t just jump on your body from driving home.

He 100% went out somewhere and that’s where he contracted it.

It’s not even a question.

Patient Zero? You have no idea.

 

[Nunchucks]

Maybe false positive ?

 

[amfootball]

Fwiw, this would have been most likely a loss anyways, so... It's ok, let Stidham suit up.

As a side note, if this is how Cam treats a 'business trip', I think it speaks volumes of his work ethics, or lack thereof... Given what's on the line, and given its a team sport, players should pretty much quarantine themselves in between facilities and home, and limit their exposure to other people for the duration of the season. JMO

Yep. Wonder if Bill still thinks he is a great leader now. lol

 

[cmasspatsfan]

Its good news no one else has it, Stidham time, he may surprise.

 

[IllegalContact]

He's quarterback of a pro football team! A team sport. Sit your ass at home! No dinners for you for the duration of the season! That's lack of common sense on his part!

Calm yourself

 

[Zarozzor]

Tour is over

 

[sb1]

I can’t see this game happening as scheduled. Could take days to test positive after exposure. It’d be a huge risk to take playing the game Sunday.

If I'm the Chiefs no way I'd want to go on the field and be exposed like that.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Maybe false positive ?

I'm sure they gave him multiple tests just to make sure...

 

[MoreBellhorn]

No, it’s not normal.

Pandemics aren’t normal.

Gotta get over that.

NBA has ZERO cases because all the players are living a bubble life.

11-12 player teams vs. 53 man teams with way more personnel involved. There’s a reason why they didn’t do the bubble.
