SLAG-91 1,483 Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Central Michigan subbing in for Miami, FL at the Sun Bowl. Boise State Covid'ed themselves out of the Arizona Bowl, so it wasn't a big deal to send CMU a few hours east to El Paso from Tucson. I figure Tony the Tiger sent the Arizona Bowl folks some scratch to make this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,784 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I just saw today where last season, from opening week through the Super Bowl, the NFL had 262 positive tests. Fast forward to this season and the NFL has had over 400 positive tests.......just in December alone!!! Crazy!!!! And the NBA is as bad or worse this year.

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 ...and now the Holiday Bowl is, well, on holiday now. NC State has both their baseball and football season ended by Covid...this one not nearly as unfortunate as the CWS, but unfortunate nonetheless.

My health care co-workers are like me....they have given up trying to get people to understand a public health disaster and how people could've cooperated even a little bit more and avoided so much heartache. No one should be surprised by this because public health officials repeatedly warned that holiday gatherings would cause a huge rise in cases. At work this week we are overwhelmed with new cases but we knew it was coming because people don't listen. Omicron symptoms seem to be milder and that is the only thing that's helping since it is spreading like wildfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't understand viruses, immunity and obviously how that could happen. I know people who have had classic symptoms of COVID, been hospitalized for it, and still tested negative. It's not common but it is possible. Some people have a natural immunity to COVID, some had COVID but were asymptomatic and may have immunity now. There's several reasons for that happening. It's not "my" highly contagious virus dude. That's from the CDC and my local public health dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamZero77 1,784 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 As long as the sports leagues keep testing daily, nothing will change and there will always be a ton of players in Covid protocols. Over half of these athletes are asymptomatic but they've got to sit out 10 days. Funny how everybody fawns over Michael Jordan's "flu game" during the playoffs where he had a really high fever but still played. He collapsed into Scottie Pippen's arms from exhaustion and was sweating onto other players when his body came into contact with them. Everybody looks at him as a warrior who fought through the flu and got a playoff win but we're sitting guys for 10 days who are asymptomatic. And to top that, athletes have to sit and miss games if they were in contact with a person that tested positive. It's ridiculous!!! What if these leagues all tested daily for the common cold or for the flu? The athletes would be missing games until the end of time. That's where we are with all this Covid testing and protocols. Until they quit testing people EVERY damn day, then it will be the same vicious cycle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell if those are the new universal school uniforms for public schools or the new helmets football players are required to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
