Cam Newton Tests Positive; Out for KC game

[SHOWTIME15]

To make the game fair, maybe he and Mahomes should have dinner tonight...

I know that Covid doesn’t jump on your body through walls.

I know he was the 1st Patriot to test positive this regular season. He is patient zero. He brought it in.

Those are facts. Indisputable.

He went out somewhere or he allowed someone into his home. There is no other way to get it.

You know NONE of this. You do not know if he was patient zero. You do not know what precautions he was taking. Your wild speculation and blame game is ridiculous. I hope someone shows you a little more compassion if you were unfortunate enough to get COVID.

 

[Mack Herron]

Serious doubts the NFL will complete the season.

 

[amfootball]

I am hearing Monday night. That is if no other players test positive before then.

 

[Tony2046]

Bingo.

Everyone wants to rush to defend him because he puts on a Patriots helmet.

Put team affiliation aside for a moment and THINK!

He went out somewhere or he allowed someone into his home. There is no other way to get it.

bubble. Period.

I don't know what's worse, your quickness to jump to the worst conclusion without knowing a single peripheral detail or your ignorance of the hows and whats of Covid-19.

We do know he is patient zero.

EVERY player is tested EVERY day.

No other player has tested positive.

That means he is the first.

I mean, this is kinda common sense...

He went out somewhere or he allowed someone into his home. There is no other way to get it.

If I get it, it’ll be because I went out, or because someone brought it into my home.

 

[MoreBellhorn]

There is NO way to get the virus if you don’t go out.

Edit: Let me change that. There is a TINYYYY chance you can get it from someone dropping you off groceries or something. But that chance is very small and NOT LIKELY according to the CDC.

He went out somewhere or he allowed someone into his home. There is no other way to get it.

You’re an irrational person. There’s no talking to you if you honestly think humans should stay at home 24/7 with zero human interaction for months. Honest to God, man.

Guys ...ya think Newton left his house without a mask? Or maybe he was 5 feet 11 inches close to someone? I'm going to go out on a limb and say Newton has zero symptoms, is completely asymptomatic, and will "recover" very quickly

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

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

Then if a bubble was a no go they shouldn’t have had a season to begin with. This was bound to happen at some point.

 

[Boomer B]

Im not saying entire teams should bubble together.

Im saying PLAYERS should bubble themselves.

Many players go from the stadium to home and NO WHERE else.

Cam clearly didnt do that.

My Lord, you made your point 6 pages ago, we don’t need to read it every 3rd post.

We don’t know where he got it. Maybe a family member gave it to him, maybe he got it from going out. Who knows.

 

[Brick27]

As it shouldn’t be per the NFL’s guidelines

 

[Nunchucks]

Game on Monday night, I hope! Stidhim time...hope sucks

 

[Redman443]

If you dont get on top of this fast, the virus could spread out of control on the team. Look at how it spread at the white house. One event caused the president and like 5 other people to test positive. .

Zero interaction? They’re at the stadium 5 days per week with other humans and they fly around the country on Sunday.

How is that no interaction?

 

[stcjones]

It will be Hoyer. Stidham has not even been dressing for games.

Not necessarily....they have no tape on Stidham but he is definitely ready to go I’m sure....I would rather give it a go with Stid than Hoyer....will be hard to win now for sure perhaps but give the kid a shot! Go Pats!!!!

 

[dannydyn]

They need to cancel the game. Completely one-sided in favor of KC without Newton...at least with Cam we had a fighting chance.

They should cancel the game so others don't get infected, not because the pats starting qb is sick. That's none of chiefs problem.

Sorry, not trying to say it over and over. I was just responding to others responses.

I’ll stop now as I do see how that can be annoying.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Yes we do know that.

Every player is tested every day.

NO other player in the regular season has tested positive on the team.

We KNOW he is the first.

That's assuming that he's the only one that ever tests positive. It is theoretically possible that another player/coach had it first, but just had a longer lag time between infection and positivity.

 

[reflexblue]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you aren't a Patriots fan based on your join date and the fact that you only post about Cam Newton.

I think hes a jest fan

You do not know what you are talking about. You do not know if a family member or coach or someone came into contact with him. Masks are not 100%.
