Lockdown or not many countries have not been able to protect the elderly in nursing homes.

Over 50% of the COVID-19 deaths in Sweden are in nursing homes... the same problem that lockdown countries including the US and Italy have experienced.

Are you aware that there has never been an effective/scalable vaccine for any type of coronavirus since it was discovered in humans 60 years ago?

That includes some high profile viruses... SARS, MERS and even the common cold... no effective/scalable vaccine developed in 60 years.

Sure. But there are reasons for all of those:

SARS - Went away on its own faster than a vaccine could be developed.
MERS - Not very common.
Colds - Not very dangerous.

Vaccines are expensive to research and produce, so it's not worth the effort for things that are 1) short-lived, 2) rare, or 3) just a nuisance.

Does that mean that we will absolutely have a vaccine for COVID? Of course not. But most of the experts seem pretty optimistic.

If only all the nfl could go make out with a corona patient today, put on a hazmat suit, go home to their basement and quarantine themselves for 2 weeks. Invent a way to make this season happen. Fauci needs to come up with something instead of just saying it's up to the virus.

Things are looking good, so here comes week one. All those 60,000 plus stadiums can be half full with social distancing.

Everything is the same as it always was out on the field.

But, before week two a Jet and a Raven test positive, those two teams played Rams, Falcons. So four teams won't be playing in week two....what now?

It's just not going to work and it breaks my heart. I already had no track season, now this......

1) Face masks and a face guard. Problem solved.

2) These are some of the best athletes in the world and this virus has shown that it won't really effect them and if it does it will be like a common cold.

3) Fauci is one of the biggest frauds out there. Bought and paid for and stands to profit big time along with Bill Gates because of this.

I completely acknowledge the significant public health risk posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaving aside fans in the stands, it is completely feasible to hold an NFL season. My plan:

1. Participation is entirely voluntary. Don't want to play, fine sit out. Your contract is on pause, but either you don't get paid or get paid a subsidence wage.
2. Define a bubble that includes everyone who has close contact with the show. Players, coaches, refs, film crews, production people, owners, media that have contact with players/coaches, etc. The bubble also includes their tribe: wife/gf/bf/children/special exceptions.
3. Anyone who wants to enter the bubble must wear a tracking device. Also to enter the bubble requires a 2 week isolation lockdown prior to entering the bubble. During the lockdown they see no one but people in their tribe. Sit in your dwelling and have anything needed delivered. Anything that is delivered is disinfected before entering the isolation lockdown. Any tribes with individuals showing symptoms don't enter the bubble.
4. Those passing through isolation lockdown are eligible to enter the bubble. The bubble has 32+ sub-bubbles one for each team, plus any additional sub-bubbles for refs, media etc. But since every sub-bubble is COVID free, it is okay to mix all of the sub-bubbles together.
5. Every sub-bubble is self-sustaining. It has doctors, cooks, teachers, and other basic services. Any material good that enters the bubble is disinfected before entering.
5. People inside the bubble (from July through early February) need to receive hardship pay if they make below some threshold. Maybe 50% bonus for those making under $200K, with the percent ramping down to 0% if you make more than $500K.
6. Anyone can leave the bubble at any time. Once you step out, if you want to re-enter you go into isolation lockdown again. Anyone detaching their tracking device is assumed to have left the bubble. No exceptions.
7. The NFL offsets the cost of this in two ways. 1. Would you not watch "Life inside the bubble?" Best reality show ever. I promise. 2. By fall, all programming will be 6 months old. The NFL would be the only new programming anywhere. People would watch like mad.

Won't be able to hear it over Romo nattering on about something stupid and trying to guess the next three plays in advance.

Come to the realization this monster will be with us this year so forget about it, not unlike no 1940/1944 Olympics because of the war.

Figure out how to pay everyone then hope like hell 2021 works.
