NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills said Monday that of the 23,260 COVID-19 tests administered to players from Aug. 12 to Aug. 20, there were no positives.
According to ESPN's Dan Graziano, Sills added that there were also 35,137 COVID-19 tests given to personnel during that time, which yielded six new positives. |

In fact, they were isolating themselves (perhaps being overly cautious) and it ate away at them until they couldn't handle it anymore. |

That's terrible. I wish that they had spoken to someone and learned that it's perfectly safe to get out and about.

Many of the kids I've worked with already feel isolated to a great degree. They don't feel like there's anybody to talk to even when times are "normal". This is only my gut feeling but I expect these kids got to the point where they couldn't go outside even if they wanted to. It's a sort of social paralysis. And it's really, really hard to get them to trust anyone in a position of seniority (it took me months of continuous contact to get in with some of my kids) because they're used to psychological problems being dismissed as something that should be solved with the next super pill.

Ok, so we're readily admitting this wasn't about "science" but about politics?

Many of those complaining about COVID mental health issues now, haven’t wanted to pay the taxes required to run these social programs efficiently for decades in the United States. But now that’s a reason to discredit any COVID precautions because “we care.” This country’s mental health programs have been a joke for decades. I honestly hope COVID mental health issues actually provide a catalyst for changing this. Hopefully those beating that drum now aren’t just full of hot air and continue to push for change. |

Many of those kids have already engaged in behavior FAR more dangerous than getting COVID but for some reason, their inhibition kicks in here where it never has before. |

It's not that we should allocate no money for the government to be involved, that's wrong. But we also shouldn't expect the government to just do it for us. Mental health is a community problem and I've seen first hand that the only way to get people help is to do it yourself, not wait for somebody in a position of power to do it. As with most things, there needs to be a balance and balance is like one of the worst skills the US has right now. |

They stayed inside so as to not expose anyone to potential infection. How is that selfish? That's like, the exact opposite of selfish.

If you are trying to equate them with selfish anti-maskers, you are doing an absolutely atrocious job of it. |

And not wanting to pay more in taxes does not = not wanting more tax $ to go to mental health causes. We waste plenty of money in other areas we could shift to mental health care. To be blunt though, I don't think it would help much anyway, the bigger issue is people who need it usually don't want it. I know from family experience and I think its a fairly common occurrence. People don't like to believe they need mental help. |
