COVID and players.

[mcdawg22]

I know we have talked about fans and players safety, but what about missing games. We all know if we have football, players are going to pass around COVID. If they have to quarantine for 14 days, how nuts will it be to have Lawrence, Ettienne, Fields, Etc missing 2 games. Not to mention the possibility of large numbers of players possibly getting it. Can you imagine if Bama loses 15 starters due to quarantine? (Which if it happens will be the week before they play Ole Miss.) It could be a wild Sportsbook year. I just hope we get to see it.

Think about the QB room.... what is all 5 of your guys on the roster get it... do you just play without a QB for 2 weeks?

I saw a few days ago that Bruce Arians is considering keeping his #3 QB away from the team facilities for this reason.

Kentucky did OK going that route

You like the other option better?

Ocean Springs highschool is shut down for 2 weeks right now after a player tested positive. It's going to happen in season, and probably be a disaster.

I am to the point of saying just **** it and let it run it's course. Obviously protect older people. This isn't going away.

I agree, but do you tell older coaching staff and referee’s sorry, you can’t participate?

They can participate, but they have to accept the risk.

If don't play they don't ref anyways. So if they do play let them ref at their own risk. Not trying to be a smart *** but most of those Refs are not in the age bracket who would be at risk and they have to exercise to stay in shape. I just don't think they are high risk.

The problem with choosing to let it run it's course is the mortality rate would skyrocket because hospitals will be too overwhelmed to give proper care.
