Cam Newton Tests Positive; Out for KC game

[Nunchucks]

There hasn't been one case, world wide yet, of a person being infected a second time. I would say the odds are pretty good for the rest of the season him being fine.

You are wrong, dont spread misinformation. Always check first.

The guy in Hong Kong had a second infection because the first infection was so weak that he never developed antibodies. Let's not pretend "double infections" are in any way commonplace. You'd be better served by worrying about being hit by lightning.

The NFL at this very moment is still a great product.

Compared to what??

You can still spread it. Also, cite your sources or quit spreading fake news. It us up to all of us to be diligent when sharing information. You are part of the solution or part of the problem.

Well, let's move the goalposts around some more. I thought we were talking about repeated infections.

Thanks for adding some cliches to your earlier post. That really helped make your case.

Also, since Google appears broken in your country:

"The man’s first case was diagnosed on March 26, and he had only mild symptoms. In accordance with regulations in Hong Kong, he was hospitalized on March 29 even though his symptoms had subsided, and released on April 14 only after he had tested negative for the virus twice.

He had no detectable antibodies after that first bout with the virus. He was positive again for the coronavirus on a saliva test on Aug. 15 after a trip to Spain via the United Kingdom; the test was administered at the airport. The man had picked up a strain that was circulating in Europe in July and August, the researchers said.

His infections were clearly caused by different versions of the coronavirus, Dr. To said"

The patient did mount an immune response to the new infection, however, and did not experience symptoms.

Compared to the dilution SI was talking about? Are you not following along with this response thread?

OK, fair enough. I just find it odd to read the NFL described as a "great product" because it hasn't been that in years. YMMV.

Everything is a risk. It's ludicrous to think players should make themselves hermits for 6 months.

They dont have to be hermits since they can hang out with each other but they shouldnt hang out with friends or family for a few months. If army people can do it all the time for less money so can nfl players.

A friend of mine had a confirmed case back in April, recovered fine, then took an antibody test recently that showed no antibodies. So he could now catch it again.

Imagine still not knowing about T-cells

But he still was able to spread it, which is the problem.

We're talking about multiple infections.

Newsflash: The NFL is not the army

Don't count out our trolling reporters. I guarantee Volin is all over this and Shank too.

I don’t count out any of them making **** up, whether it’s true or not we will never know.

 

[FCB02062]

So we've heard about all these + "cases"... Has any player who tested + in the NFL actually been sick? Required hospitalization? Spare me the "BUT THEY CAN SPREAD IT TO GRANDMA!"... seriously is anyone actually sick or are these all asymptomatic healthy athletes who may have a tiny trace of viral load, without any chance of getting sick or transmitting to others....
Do your ****ing job media and report on this....somehow I doubt any of the doom and gloom boo hoo pandemic crew media would ever bother looking into this... doesn't fit their shutdown the world narrative

You mean like NFL plutocrat owners trying to play a season in the middle of a pandemic, to line their pockets even more?

that puts players between a rock and a hard place. They have to travel between home and team facilities. They can drive themselves and potentially get exposed when they have to gas their vehicle. Or they can hire a drive or call Uber and be exposed to whatever their driver is carrying.

Do we need to start going into the previous pandemics where they played Sports for this to be shown to be ludicrous??

They didn't cancel the Football season in 1968.

Not to mention that the mortality rate of COVID has been wildly over-blown for people under 40.. .
