Chief X_Phackter 08-20-2021, 12:25 PM I found this.
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/03/only-five-teams-below-85-percent-vaccination-threshold/
"The NFL reports that 90 percent of NFL players are at least partially vaccinated. The league hit that mark today, spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted.
Nine teams have more than 95 percent of their players vaccinated, and 27 teams are above the 85 percent threshold."
Chief X_Phackter 08-20-2021, 12:26 PM Where you're going wrong though is failing to think of it in the aggregate.
All three of these statements are true:
1) The more people the virus spreads to, the greater the chances the virus will mutate to form new variants.
2) When the virus encounters vaccinated hosts, it gives rise to the possibility for new variants, as it adapts to survive and continue to replicate.
3) The impact of 1 above is greater than the impact of 2 above, so that if more people are vaccinated, on the aggregate, you reduce the potential for new variants to form.
:thumbsup:
sdskinsfan2001 08-20-2021, 12:40 PM What is the threshold the nfl wants?
110%
Football is always 110%
And if you're on time you're late.

lol coach Coughlin would be proud
CRedskinsRule 08-26-2021, 12:15 PM Ryan Tannehill to the COVID list.
It sure seems like COVID will hit some team at the wrong time, and WFT still seems one of the likeliest candidates.
CRedskinsRule 08-26-2021, 12:34 PM According to this article 4 teams are below 89%, but they don't specify which 4.

The NFLPA wants daily testing, the NFL doesn't. I think daily testing for everyone with simple contact prevention methods for positive tests (not the draconian one unvaxxed players face) would be the smartest solution. Also the article mentions masks are required again for everyone in certain situations
Among other changes, the new protocols also require that vaccinated staff members*wear masks when interacting with players*and*everyone to wear a mask in closed quarters*such as buses and planes.

Chief X_Phackter 08-31-2021, 01:23 AM “People tend to focus on testing, but it’s very important that we realize, testing is not prevention,” Sills said, per the Tallahassee Democrat. “Testing is not preventing anyone from transmitting the virus. It is one part of our mitigation strategy but it’s not the key part."
- NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills
Sills pointed to "other mitigation measures such as masking and the avoidance of in-person meetings and in-person meals" as key steps to slowing transmission.
DUMB...
So let's have the players practice and play as a team on the field, sharing each others blood and sweat, but avoid in-person meals and meetings so we don't have to test them more often.

This should be an interesting read when I wake up tomorrow.

Testing seems far more key to me. I don't get the nfl's reluctance.
