Foreverfan would say something like this.

Prepare expectations for the worst, and be grateful when things turn out better.

I think the season will be fine. Just may be less fans in attendance than what we're used to seeing and less $$$ coming in and the NFL will have to come to terms with that. I try to tune out the MSM's fear mongering regarding covid. Honestly I'm more worried about the economy/jobs/housing situation than a second wave.

If 1 or 2 players catch it, they will shut it down. And if 1 or 2 get it, its likely several more will too.

There will be no season in my opinion, which is fine if they were gonna start disrespecting my flag and anthem with their political nonsense.

Seems like I lose either way.

I'm hopeful.

Hopeful a regular school year. Regular football season.
I am hoping for herd immunity.
If a player or coach catches it, carry on. It is not going to stop or help or heal .
No, numbers or cases are not exaggerated. Be thankful it is not you and yours. Everyone, just stay positive and hang in there.

This too shall pass.

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.

Mutations could possibly reinfect, but mutations are likely to be more infectious, but far less invasive. That is the pattern of virus spread. In other words, it is possible to contract a variation but is is most likely it will be far less intrusive or even symptomatic at all.

For a mutation to cause reinfection, it'd have to be one that changed its spike proteins, which is the epitope that the neutralizing antibody attaches too. 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.

I simply don't see how players can avoid the virus once the seasons starts.

More coaches, players and/or a family member will get sick.

Easy, you sequester them. Sounds crazy but I'd gladly allow myself to be sequestered for 4 months for anywhere from $500k-$30MM. Wouldn't you?

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