It's amazing. I can know if a complete stranger thousands of miles from me has covid, but if a co worker gets it my employer wont even let me know what shift they worked on or area.

Yeah, some employers are doing better with that than others. An employer can't disclose it do to HIPAA but my current employer is doing better than my last employer as far as informing the company about where COVID cases were and who is impacted.

You can get on the list even without a positive test. Example if you cross paths with person with convid, they can put you on the list.  

Yeah, that's how contact tracing works.  That's the whole point of it.

Oh boy, 5 jags down today.

Did the NFL quarantine everyone before they went to camp?

Athletes are much higher risk of contracting covid due to their often social personalities and access to exclusive parties/events.  Keeping them in a bubble would be the only viable solution.  Otherwise, expect handfuls of cases a week once the season begins.  

I also question if players that carry big weight will make an effort to be a little lighter this season in the event they catch covid due to the harsher effects on overweight people.

To me that is the biggest threat to the NFL, some of these old as hell coaches(not so much Pederson). 

I wonder if we are gonna see some of them opt out. TBH, I would completely understand for those guys.

if we see a few head coaches, or a start seeing entire staffs getting infected, this will be a short season.

Yeah, look at what the MLB is dealing with. If the NHL and NBA are successful and the MLB continues to be a problem, or get shut down completely, I hope the NFL realizes that it probably needs to work on a "bubble" plan.

If it presents like the flu and comes and goes, then the NFL sees this every season.  How many times have we heard that 4 players had to be given fluids and did not practice the entire week due to the flu bug. 

What players and the country have to do in general is to stay away from the old and compromised.  Most of the NFL players will be asymptomatic and go right on

Rarely. Maybe once a year. Ive never heard it in context to multiple players.
