Reiter and Wylie should be safe then

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Hopefully it’s false....

Either way, no reason for him to be within several feet of players...

[lewdog]

Wish this was Niemann.

[Dante84]

Hope this doesn’t throw off our games

[GingaChief]

I imagine they'll get tested tomorrow morning & if all come back negative it should be good to play. With it being a coach tested i guess it's different to a player?

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Why would it ? The raiders had 2 positive this week from players and the game is still on.

Why would it? Because we have to continue to find ways to over-react to this situation at every turn and make everybody as unnecessarily miserable as we possibly can.

[ping2000]

Reiter and Wylie should be safe thenOuch, but correct.

[RINGLEADER]

I heard somewhere they don’t test the day of the game. Not sure how the tracing effects anything (it didn’t last week with the Patriots). Should be fine for the game tomorrow.

[Dante84]

It’s the day before the game, whereas they’ve (LV) been clear for days.

But I was more referring to the potential impact of it spreading.

[Jewish Rabbi]

FUCK THIS ASSHOLE!!!

[KChiefs1]

Dammit.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Sounds like they aren’t worried right now based on the tracing.

[ping2000]

Kelce doesn't need a strength coach. He just uses shake weights on his own.

[UChieffyBugger]

All the coaches wear the face mask when they are in the practice facility right? So hopefully everyone else is fine.

Think the new rules require everyone including players to be wearing ppe.

Florio at his best (meaning worst/normal)

With multiple NFL virus hot spots seemingly under control (for now), another potential problem is emerging.


Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that “a strength and conditioning coach in Kansas City” has tested positive for COVID-19.

This report could encompass any of three Chiefs coaches: Strength and conditioning coach Barry Rubin, assistant strength and conditioning coach Greg Carbin, and strength and conditioning assistant Travis Crittenden.

Given that strength and conditioning coaches tend to have access to players in a confined space, this news is perhaps even more alarming than it would be for a player testing positive. Schefter says that contact “[t]racing is ongoing.” For any strength and conditioning coach, the potential universe of close contacts could be significant.

Assuming the positive test arose from Friday PCR testing, the Saturday PCR tests (with results coming later today/tonight/early morning based on proximity to the lab) now become critical to spotting a potential outbreak.

Even if everyone tests negative today, others could still be in the incubation period. By Sunday, they could be shedding virus.

On Sunday, the Chiefs are due to host the Raiders.

Even there I'm not seeing anybody calling for game cancellation.

[tyecopeland]

He basically is. "By Sunday, they could be shedding g the virus. The chiefs play the raiders on Sunday."

If he masked up there probably isnt spread despite being in close contact

[wazu]

He basically is. "By Sunday, they could be shedding g the virus. The chiefs play the raiders on Sunday."

Guess I read that more as the typical Florio doom and gloom "what if". But I see your point.

[FAH-Q]

If he masked up there probably isnt spread despite being in close contact

Guess we’ll see how well protocols are being followed in the building. Not sure what testing the next couple days shows either, given the uncertainty of the incubation periods.

[BigRedChief]

Reiter and Wylie should be safe thenROFL

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Florio talks as if he thinks this strength and conditioning coach has been all over these guys, dick to butt spotting them in the squat rack.

Stupid. They aren’t that dumb.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

https://twitter.com/albertbreer/status/1314992389346467842?s=21

From Albert Breer: “But I’m told in this case, contact tracing numbers are very low.”

[BigRedChief]

Guess we’ll see how well protocols are being followed in the building. Not sure what testing the next couple days shows either, given the uncertainty of the incubation periods.10 days without symptoms your probably safe.

[FAH-Q]

10 days without symptoms your probably safe.

The positive test from the coach came yesterday right? Or did I read the article wrong? Guess it’s a moot point if tracing numbers are low. Game on.

[BigRedChief]

If he masked up there probably isnt spread despite being in close contactHe gives Mahomes the Covid, we need to run the guy out of town on a rail.;)

[BigRedChief]

The positive test from the coach came yesterday right? Or did I read the article wrong?It's UP TO 10 days, 90% start showing symptoms and or test positive within 5 days.

[BWillie]

Twitter calling for the game to be canceled.

That is probably the most responsible thing to do.

Again, I wouldn't be worried AT ALL if I was a player. But if the goal is safety, cancelling it is the play (or postponing it whatever you want to call it ). 3-8 day incubation period.

I think this is worse than a player getting it because of how a strength and condition coach would typically interact with players. I'm not sure if he's as involved as he might be on bye weeks and outside of the season but guys are still working out in the weight room hard during season. Strength and conditioning coach usually all over that area. But perhaps they've been doing it differently now with Covid. That is the key to cancelling or not cancelling I would imagine.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

So much overreacting to nothing. Only a complete moron would think the game should be cancelled

How much longer do we have to wait on his resignation after the Tyreek deal??

[htismaqe]

If the game is really a problem, postpone it.

Canceling games is NOT an option. If they're going to cancel or forfeit games, then just cancel the season and get it over with.

[ping2000]

He was wearing a mask right? Did he take it off and make out with someone?

[tyecopeland]

How much longer do we have to wait on his resignation after the Tyreek deal??

Probably until after the season is canceled due to covid or he himself gets it.

[Kman34]

The wrist tracking device will show who he was close to.. I believe it has some sort of alarm if you get too close to a player.. This tool is very useful in the tracking of positive cases..

[Raiderhater]

Why would it? Because we have to continue to find ways to over-react to this situation at every turn and make everybody as unnecessarily miserable as we possibly can.

This times eleventy billion.

Who would have recovered the fumble last week? :hmmm:

Twitter isnt sentient. It has no opinions and makes no demands.

What you mean is 'a vocal minority of cunts on twitter want games cancelled"

Just play the game on Madden. Same result.

Its probably all trolls or bots anyway.

Like everything now, some troll makes a stupid comment and everyone on the other side of the isle thinks its serious and loses their minds.

Not that he could really ever claim the title but this Florio article is a great example of how “journalism” has gone in the toilet:


potential problem
could encompass
tend to
perhaps
Assuming
could
could

The only factual statements in his “reporting” is:

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that “a strength and conditioning coach in Kansas City” has tested positive for COVID-19

and

On Sunday, the Chiefs are due to host the Raiders

The rest is just speculative nonsense.

[FloridaMan88]

Can someone remind me how many high school, college or NFL players and staff have died or been hospitalized with the ‘Rona?

I think there was a Division II football player who died from a blood clot in his heart that may have been related to COVID-19.

Otherwise no college or pro players/coaches/staff have even been hospitalized with the virus.

which is worse, tons of contact tracing putting players at possible risk or we fine out there hasn't been any contact between the players and their conditioning coach?

Exactly.;)

Bottom line: We live in a very very litigious world where the populace has been raised to sue at the drop of a hat and this IS their winning the lottery. All large major corporations have a huge financial target on their back and their NO.1 enemy more often than not are their own employees. You can say this is about player safety BUT it is far more about not being sued (in case someone dies) if you show due diligence.

[Chiefshrink]

Oh I get ya pugsy!! It's all about keeping the players on the field making sure your fantasy team stays productive.:p
