I know, you're just busting at the seams to go back into a shutdown aren't you?
No. Just keeping people updated in case some of us here have fantasy teams

If NFL teams take this serious and put some restrictions in place they can get through this. Maybe Quarantine the teams in isolation until everyone tests positive. Afterward, everyone has to behave and be smart.

They are doing that - the entire team sans 8 player and 8 staff are positive. (titans) Those will be quarantine and retested daily if not more. Players are young and will recover fast, staff depends on age and they likely will get great care as they catch it early.

As I said above NE had a bad flu last year and did similar, the testing is so much better with covid this will pass.

I agree, this will pass. But, they have to be smart about it. I think they will.

Hopefully other teams learn the lessons of this round of COVID.

They won't or can't. But likely won't matter. The young guys want to go to bars (or parties) with buds and meet ladies. The married ones have kids and they are germ exchanging machines. In all likelihood many of these guys already had it. I think we'll see some more but not season threatening and it will mean the players will be avail for playoffs.
