Here is what Bears Wire has to say:

https://bearswire.usatoday.com/2020/07/29/4-bears-players-that-need-to-step-up-in-eddie-goldmans-absence/

They bring up Jenkins. I liked him before

Kinda stupid article. Jenkins is the only nose tackle mentioned.

A 4-3 might be our best option...

Not necessarily.  If a player was even in proximity to someone who tested positive they are put on the list.

So if the entire Bears defense was in close proximity to Jenkins who may have been in close proximity to a guy who tested positive then the whole D needs to be quarantined.

I guess that Jenkins is out what 10 to 14 days even though he may be testing negative each and every day while on the list.

At the most 14 days, and then back on the field.  Pretend he is holding out.

So much misinformation about C19.  We have associates calling out because they were near someone who tested positive that had no symptoms.  Our healthcare system practices that you must be within 6 feet for 15 minutes, without a mask.  I imagine right now it is all meetings, so seating at least 6 feet apart.  Meet outside, etc.  I have been to work everyyday since March, in several hospitals.  Protect yourself, be smart, and you have nothing to fear.  And IF you do catch it, 1% death rate for all ages and all previous medical conditions. 

Can you imagine if we got this worked up every year for the flu?  I know it appears to be more contagious than the flu, but smart precautions can help everyone stay safe.

Why in the world would it be wrong for Devin Nunes to be in contact with an Ukrainian politician?

A death rate of 1% is not exactly reassuring.  Think of it this way.  If Soldier Field was full (65,000 fans) and all had Covid - that means 650 would die.

I don't believe the 1% number that is often being presented.  To actually calculate an actual death rate you need two numbers:  covid deaths and covid infections.

The covid deaths is somewhat known, although many would say it's inflated.  But no one knows how many folks are infected or have been infected with Covid 19.  Way way too many asympotomatic infections that were never discovered - never tested.

Bottom line...wear the mask in public, avoid crowds, yada yada yada

I know many of you like me are not exactly spring chickens...and you don't want to play russian routlette with a covid infection no matter what the death rate infection is.

One more.  1% is for everyone.  The percents are super miniscule for everyone under 60.  I get it.  Don't go to the stadium if you are over 60 and have underlying medical conditions (diabetes, hypertension, COPD, etc)

I think Trubisky beats out Foles and is the game 1 starteer.

Heck, I'm wondering myself if I didn't already have it. I had loss of taste and smell which is all back now and a cough. No fever nothing else. If this was it, it was easier than 95% of anything I've ever caught....  I plan on waiting and getting a antibody test to see if I did. I've gotten sick so much in the last five,ten years that my immune system is like 'ehh I've seen something like this before' and knocked it out.
I was MUCH sicker just two years ago when I had both the Flu and Strep throat at the same time. THAT sucked! Throwing up with a sore throat and feeling horrid......fun times....remember when I was coming home from work after it hitting me and having to stop halfway home and get out and wretch on a side road. As I as roaring out my guts by the side of the road, I look up and there were ten deer across the street all looking at me like 'what is this guy dying from?!?'. It was crazy....

  I hope they cancel the year. Personally I don't care. The NFL was the last team sport I would watch. Now they are dead to me. These insects think they are important. Wait till they take a major hit in they're wallet and realize they were on the wrong side. Farewell to all of you that have a functioning brain. I'll miss many of the posts. On to more important matters. Time to take a stand!
