Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

However, Pelissero reports that contact tracing revealed no high-risk close contacts, and there’s optimism that Clapp’s is just an isolated case.

How are guys in a meeting room all day together and nobody else is a “high risk contact?” Makes no sense. Maybe they’ve been sitting 6 feet apart and wearing masks at all times but were the RB’s not doing that when Kamara had it?

They aren’t, trust me.

Just gonna say this...I got Covid just before Thanksgiving. My wife, who's an RN at at a hospital here never got it. None of my 5 kids got it. Not even my baby. When I realized I had it because I lost taste and smell, I got tested. Was positive.

Our whole fam got put on lockdown.

I never wore a mask. None of my family did. I did not isolate in a room. I fed my baby at night and even did the hibidy dibidy with the wife during quarantine.

No one else got it.

Just saying.

It goes without saying that different ppl will have different experiences, but I’ll tell you mine. I never, ever wear a mask, my gf does. She has an autoimmune system disease, Lupus. She works in the medical field, like your wife, and contracted Covid back in July, when FL spiked. We each have our own homes, but she lived with me for the entire two weeks she was quarantined. No masks in my house, she slept on my chest. Sneezed and coughed all over me. I never got it, tested multiple times alongside her, and I’ve even donated blood since to see if I had antibodies, which I do not. Even with her weakened immune system, and inability to shed it as quickly as others, it was just a bad cold, she said not even as bad as the flu, her headaches were very bad, but other than that..., a cold.

My wife currently has Covid and we are both isolating, we both work for the NHS.

The one thing that has continually stood out is just how drained its made her feel and how much she's sleeping. Not helped by the fact she can't keep food down, so just trying to keep fluids up and get her eating little bits whenever she feels up to it.

She explained a really bad headache, as did my dad when he had it. Just the main thing for her is how it's kind of knocked the wind out of her and how lethargic she is feeling.

Prayers for your wife, you and your family. Be nice when we get a handle on this thing.

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

Thanks buddy, agreed. I'm not one for politics, but how its been handled here in the UK is outrageous.

The unfortunate part is a lot of people don't understand or don't care that it isn't the "oh you're young, you'll get over it" that's the issue, it's the fact that you can unknowingly pass it to someone thats medically unsafe.

Our government have flip flopped that much on rules, that people now just do what they want without any regard. Truly frustrating time.

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

I just lost another person to Covid. I'm glad that those of you with excellent health didn't catch it. I know people who are dying left and right from exposure and we need to be safer.

The problem is that your stories inspire others to not wear masks though. It is the #1 killer in the US now. I'm a cancer survivor and this **** scares me.

I'm 61 and it may be my time to go but I don't want to let someone not wearing a mask determine my future.....or lack of a future.

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

Amen, my friend! Refusing to wear a mask simply displays one's total disregard for the welfare of others. It is conceit at its worst. It's equally as conceitful to wear one under your nose. Conceitful and just plain stupid.

The husband of my wife's coworker died a couple of days ago solely due to Covid-19.

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

Health has zero impact on infect-ability, and wearing a mask inspires people to get closer so they can %#*€king hear what the other person ins saying.

Honestly my friend, you are vesting way too much hope in someone wearing what amounts to their underwear on their face. :bng:

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

Spot on. Even Dr Fauci laughed and said wearing a mask is useless at the onset of the China virus. If it makes you feel more comfie, by all means do it. I wear my mask if/when a store asks me, for the sole purpose of not causing a stink, but other than that it’s as useful as a screen door on a submarine.

Re: Saints’ Will Clapp tests positive for COVID-19
 

We did things a little different in Houston Texas. We didn’t mandate the public wear a mask because they couldn’t enforce it which is very pragmatic. What they did was mandate that all business’s require their patrons to wear a mask to enter and do business if customers didn’t have a mask the business would be fined $1k per person per day.

I went back home to Lafayette La. for Christmas and I saw more people wearing nothing standing 1’ from each other that I have seen in an entire year in Houston.

I put on a disposable mask because it’s a requirement, no other reason.

The point of the comparison is that we wear our masks in public and there is no less of an infection rate.

I like the screen door analogy, I generally use “it’s like trying to stop 5,000 golf balls with a set of football goal posts.
