do you crawl all over each other without masks?
Yeah, no I know. I am not a big fan of what the NFL is doing and I apologize if it came across that way. My point is that the NFL made a determination that they were going to get through the season basically no matter what. That was the plan. It is a given that there will be cases. It was even a given that some teams might have enough cases that they would be at a severe competitive disadvantage in certain weeks. In fact it was even a given that they weren’t going to closely follow CDC guidelines and they were willing to put people at risk for COVID who would be quarantined in other circumstances.
This is what the NFL is doing.
I’m in healthcare.We have different guidelines than other folks so people who are exposed come back to work but if they were in a different line of work they would be told to stay home for 14 days.
The NFL clearly has adopted protocols that have nothing to do with regular CDC guidelines and that’s why some players opted out.
Again, not defending it EXCEPT I have said all along IF you decide to start the season at all it only ever made sense if you were going to take actual risks with the health of your players, coaches and other employees to get through it. And here we are. Of course they are going to plow through.
