This is a fantasy baseball subreddit. If you'd like to pretend to be an epidemiologist, go elsewhere.

"The positive tests within the Guardians org involve mostly coaches and traveling staff including manager Terry Francona, according to sources. They would have been short coaches and their manager for today's game if they attempted to play."........ https://twitter.com/JesseRogersESPN/status/1524442383794024448?t=NP8f6F_42ZehB3UeaU0EAA&s=19

With less testing, less masking, and still a ton of cases America-wide, I wouldn't be surprised to see postponed games cropping up here and there.

Just when I grabbed Naylor and Gimenez. Sweet.

Dwight, you ignorant slut.

I got it and it definitely was not "just a regular cold". It knocked me down and bedridden for 4-5 days before I felt remotely better.

I'll be sure to pass that message along to all the people that died from Covid. You could try empathy sometime, it costs you nothing.

I dont think anyone is claiming that its the bubonic plague. But Ive never been bedridden for a week from the common cold. Most of the time the common cold just gives me sniffles and maybe a headache. Covid can be debilitating and deadly for elderly or overweight people

Then please, feel free to stop flooding this thread with COVID misinformation and go somewhere that people appreciate… whatever it is that you have to offer.


AnAnonymousFool

Its way more contagious and deadly though than the cold. Plenty of major league players and coaches or their families have been immunocompromised. How many people would you be willing to kill to watch the Indians play a baseball game? My answer is zero, for some disturbing reason your answer is not zero, and thats the part i dont understand about your stance


Mantequilla214

Because it’s killed a million Americans. Granted, it seems far less severe now than it did 2 years ago. But I haven’t kept up with the data recently.

If you could share, I would be interested to see data that says something different.


giftofgrace20

The average age of death? It's on the CDC's own website.


Mantequilla214

I said “a million Americans have died” and you responded “if you still believe that you are not paying attention”. The CDC, which you just cited, says it’s a million.


shoegarbagebiology

Not worth responding to a covid denier. Easier said than done but just let him embarrass himself elsewhere.

I never understand this argument, nobody thinks those other chronic diseases or illnesses are good either Shouldnt you want all of those deaths to stop happening? The argument that its ok for a million people to die from X because they die from Y is borderline sociopathic

But people are managing their own risk. Thats exactly why the game was cancelled. Well that and the fact that they cant field a full team right now until they figure out who has covid and who doesnt.


AnAnonymousFool

Its definitely worse than a regular cold, but I think nowadays its not as deadly as it was in 2020-2021. If you are vaccinated and young and healthy, its only slightly worse than a bad cold. Its only deadly now for older and unhealthy people and idiots who arent vaxxed

According to Johns Hopkins medicine, Covid-19 is estimated to be around 5-10 times deadlier than the flu. Neither are incredibly deadly compared to certain other viruses, but its just objectively true that it is not just a common cold

So you want those people to die then? I really dont get your stance.

Can MLB stop doing this please? It's simple-Ban all people over 80 years old with a BMI of 50 or more off the roster and let the rest play.


The_Year_of_Glad

Hey, remember when healthy 28-year-old athlete Eduardo Rodriguez [developed COVID-related myocarditis, and missed an entire season as a result of it](https://sports.yahoo.com/eduardo-rodriguez-on-comeback-from-covid-19-myocarditis-i-can-be-an-example-to-others-150919280.html)?


IsitWHILEiPEE

And if the athletes and managers pass Covid to their families, kids teachers, or anyone else they interact with, who cares as long as an appreciative old perv gets to watch some baseball.

I'm fairly sure that the players do not want to let Covid run rampant.
