Cam Newton Tests Positive; Out for KC game

[captain stone]

Am I also correct in ass-uming that Cam was re-tested in order to rule out a false positive?

 

[venecol]

Nope. I got tested last weekend after going to a packed bar and strip club at a bachelor party the weekend before. Tested at 8:30 AM and had my result texted by 11:00 AM. Tested negative. I was surprised. Thought for sure I was going to get it from the strip club.

You must've washed the dollar bills you got at the strip club, otherwise...

I read somewhere that the NFL protocol allows Cam to return in 5 or 7 days if he has two consecutive negative tests which means he may not miss the Denver game.

We seem to have an unusually large cluster of epidemiologists on this site, so I am sure they can explain the NFL's testing and reactivation protocol better than me

Season probably should have never happened in the first place...........but you know.........................money.

They test them several times after the initial test...if multiple tests indicate a positive result the team officially designates him as positive

Yikes, talk about the definition of an outlier. You pretty much proved his point.

Eduardo Rodriguez. Another outlier....

how long has it taken him to recover to the point of being able to walk?

Cam is 31, not sure he needs the anti-body ****tail that is useful for a 70+ year old. I only read the Regeneron Phase II trial briefly but I think the anti-body ****tail is effective over 50 or 60 years of age, and showed marginal or no benefit under 40. Under 40 the immune system is very active and strong.

You do realize that the league only exists for.....you know..... money, right?

If they play, I better see Stidum take the snaps. If not and the legend of Brian Hoyer trots out there, it shows how bad Stidum actually is.

No, it'll show they don't think giving him his first start against the Kansas City Chiefs is a smart idea.

 

[rochrist]

Sorry, false equivalency...NFL players have the best medical care available to them, App St does not.... valiant effort, though, really....

Tell is to Eddiee Rodriguez when he pitches again. If he ever does.

Only 300 people in the country are getting that.

Per Mike Reiss:

Key points to note for Patriots following Cam Newton's positive coronavirus test

From concerns on traveling to Kansas City to the possibility of more positive coronavirus tests, New England braces for what's next.

www.espn.com

" From a medical standpoint, one important point of context is whether Newton is asymptomatic. If so, he can return after five days with two consecutive negative tests separated by 24 hours. If not, his absence will be 10 days at minimum, meaning he would also miss the Oct. 11 home game against the Denver Broncos."

For all the talk about the game, does anyone know how Cam is doing? Is he alright? This thing can be horrible for some people. Just because he is a supreme athlete does not mean he will be fine.

Seeing as there is still hope for asymptomatic I think there is no need to worry yet.
