Re: Starting to think NFL season not feasible
Also heard A.J. Hawk and Brady Quinn a couple of days ago both saying that quite a few players they have both talked to are saying they are fine with going ahead and contracting the virus right away so it won't stand in the way of the regular season.
This of course wouldn't be the case for players with comorbidities such as asthma and sleep apnea. |

Re: Starting to think NFL season not feasible
Antibodies dropping a few weeks after infection does not mean you are open to infection. The immune system doesn't work that way. While there are potential ways that infection could occur, I'd guess that they are rare circumstances. Of course, there may be something unique about the virus that causes our immune system to do something strange or mutations may occur or something... that's possible. For the most part though, there's not really any real evidence that reinfection occurs.

The virus is not really mutating that rapidly of a pace, much slower than influenza viruses do. Covid-19 is more sophisticated than than influenza, has better error checking mechanisms etc... which ironically make it less likely to mutate. It could happen, but it's very doubtful.

Unlike the common cold or flu, Covid could do more permanent damage to ones pulmonary system. Personally, I don't see how there is a "safe" measure in place to have a full season of football at any level. Just thought I'd share this since my info came from a health care professional. Stay safe and protect yourself folks . |

Heck, I did it for less than $500 a month for the US ARMY. |
