    Not different at all. Just pointing out the fact the players would be unlikely to get critically ill has nothing to do with whether or not football will happen. I'm still really hopeful but we'll see. Officiating is a very physical activity (I move 6-7 miles over the course of the game) and I think a mask would make that very difficult. Plus we have to be able to blow a whistle. That's a little tricky with a mask on.

    Vaccine, more card carrying antibody people, treatments, tests. It’ll be way different 6 months from now

    Human vaccine trials underway with hopes of a vaccine in December.
    Stand your ground, have a tough hide, roam wild and free, have a strong spirit, let the chips fall where they may.

    Is this the Oxford vaccine? I was watching a guy on Howard sterns YouTube last week(dr Agnes) saying as of right now, the US has taken the top 5 science and ramped up production so when/if there’s an effective vaccine by June, they can begin to distribute it accordingly which would be an incredibly brilliant move

    I’ve been thinking this from the beginning. There’s gotta be a way to fast track this given the situation.

    28 year old Sumo wrestler dead from COVID-19. Not good news for linemen or return of football.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Why? Because 1 out 1000+ infected people in that age demographic die?
