Sean Payton tested positive.

Holy sh*t.

If you didn't realize it yet, this is COVID thing is very real and will have a significant impact on the NFL and the coming season (if it is even played).

I agree that the removal of his response team was bad. I read it was John Bolton's idea, but you're right - he's the President and needed to take it more seriously.

Glad we agree on this.

There has been a lot of blame towards the Administration - but in reality how many more lives would it have saved?

Very difficult to quantify in real time but at the end of this, I dont think it will be a stretch to say it would have been magnitudes less harmful to the country. Just comparing from various countries with graphs showing cases over time, ours represents nothing of a flattening out scenario. I wish it did.

Is he symptomatic? Thoughts are with him and his family either way.

 

[LuRkeR1978]

Oh look, another rich sports person that gets to be tested, while the rest of us sit home and wonder.

Season cancelled in 3...2...1...

Again, the numbers are still low for the number of deaths per capita compared to other nations. You are talking about a death /total population ratio of 5.4 * 10^-7 so far. South Korea's death ratio has been 1.8 *10^-6. South Korea has had to deal with it longer, but the US is holding its own in this fight. There has been a lot of blame towards the Administration - but in reality how many more lives would it have saved? You're talking really small numbers here, at least so far. Is it the Administration's fault that people were lying about having been in Asia, having gone through Europe as a way to avoid getting tested and quarantined?

Major states (most helmed by Democrats, some by Republicans like Hogan) forged ahead and locked down and basically knifed the economy in the gut in order to prevent a human catastrophe. The administration, busy banning travelers from the EU and saying it would disappear like a miracle, followed only when the stock market collapsed and the breadth of the looming disaster - it was already here - could no longer be denied.

Sean Payton tested positive for coronavirus....anyone else still think we are having a 2020 season?

So you had to mention the fact that the Dems are heading most of the states where there is a lock down, right? What does them being Dems to do with anything?

It's happening! My stock went up 16.5% today. Now it's only down 44% since January.

I think turning the monitor upside down is working.

I wrote many days ago...signals about next season are not good at all...good luck Sean

I wouldn’t be surprised if they had concocted this in a lab for years and years to use for biological warfare. That country, and its government, have a history of human rights abuses.

More likely due to their unsanitary meat markets...

Too hard to predict but these next few weeks are crucial....

Dems are more likely to not believe donny's BS.

Trump's doing all the right things now, but it's too late, horse is out of the barn. Therefore he FAILED this critical test of leadership by putting his re-election prospects ahead of the public health and well being. There is no disputing this, he was on TV every day spouting his nonsense.

By the end of the year, we'll have 5 million cases and 100,000 dead - IF WE'RE LUCKY. 50 mill & 1 mill if we're not. And we could've gotten out of this pretty much scot free if he'd acted like a president is supposed to act from the get-go.

Guess you haven't noticed but the hot spots are all in Blue areas (NY, NJ, WA, CA, So FL).

Again, the hate on this board towards the President, who is leading the crisis. You can be critical of him, but you should be supportive of him. You're not because you don't agree with his politics. I'll bet if the US ends up getting relatively few deaths you'll say it was because of the Dem governors

How about just wishing him a fast recovery

He got it from going to a horse race on Saturday. Rich people are dangerously stupid.

It has nothing to do with them being Dems...he took a shot at Republican governors, like that had anything to do with it. He could have easily said the governors of some major states are showing leadership beyond what Trump is doing, but he instead mentioned they were Dems. Who cares?

It’ll flatten out over time. We’re not all going to die. It will be just like any other virus in our country’s history: we will get our asses handed to us for a while, people will die, others will get the hint, and it’ll slow down before a vaccine is invented and trialed.

I support all his efforts going forward cause you can see he finally gets it. That doesn't change that the crisis is largely his doing.
