Looks like we might be short on the D line if we play Tuesday.

Internet claims more positive Steelers COVID announcements coming today.
Week 18...here we come!
James Conner tested positive.
This all just sucks!
The Steelers were doing such a good job up until now. These guys are making enough money that they could totally lock their lives down and just go to work and back and have things delivered.
Why would any of them put a historical season in jeopardy? I know it’s hard, but damn. Wear a damn mask!

Get ready for some Benny Snell football.

I’m not going to say “I told you so”, because pandemic disease is, well, a fricking pandemic disease. It’s highly contagious and unless you hole up in a cabin 50 miles from the nearest road, you can reduce your chances of being exposed but you cannot eliminate it 100%. As I said in the Ravens Sucks thread, it is what it is. It’s 2020.

The NFL should have just let EVERY fucking player catch it in pre-season, that way just like the Chicken Pox they would all be immune to it now. When I was a kid and someone had the Chicken Pox in our neighborhood you wanted every 7 year old to be exposed to it. Because it was better to catch Chicken Pox as a 7 year old where the survival rate (just like COVID) was ridiculously high. Healthy 20 something NFL athletes are going to feel sick for a few days (if any) and be over this.
Funny how you don't hear a thing about "the second wave" in Sweden. The country everyone said was crazy for protecting their vulnerable population and allowing herd immunity in the rest.
I know, right? A 2% death rate is only like 2 out of every hundred people. To put in terms of teams that’s only like a little over 1 per active roster... and you know their families and whatnot, but who cares about them.
When you actually picture it in real life, with real people crying over their loved ones, it just totally seems so not important to me.
And there’s one fact no one can deny: every single person who dies of this so called disease would have died anyway... eventually.
Damn snow flakes not wanting to get horribly sick and possibly kill their loved ones. Back in my day, we all gathered round to share plagues and go on ventilators and laugh at the dead... and we LIKED IT THAT WAY!

I believe you’re incorrect about what’s happening in Sweden.
Mojouw posted some links to confirm it.
A week or two ago, 60 Minutes updated a story about Sweden’s original strategy, striving for herd immunity.
The Swedish medical experts basically said it was a failed strategy.
Of course it was a failed strategy. And all of this “98% survival rate” is so disgusting. I’ve noticed that no one spouting that sound bite rushes out to get the disease and breathe all over their loved ones to watch 98% of them survive and create a herd immunity.
They are also the first to cry about the risks of a vaccine that they’ll refuse to take... even it will have a higher than 98% survival rate. Such heroes with other people’s health

The actual survival rate is more like 99.8%, and hundreds of times higher than that if you are not already in bad shape, but who's counting.
What is going on now in places that are not locked down and have no masks is about the same as in places that are locked down with masks: Few people are sick and almost no one is dying, and the media reports on it breathlessly, and people freak out because they can't do math and don't understand the concept of a million. You don't lock people down and cancel things; it is an invalid response.
See you Space Cowboy ...

You're wrong. It's not a 2% death rate it's a .018% death rate. Do the math. The 1918 Spanish flu was a 2% death rate.
Total COVID19 deaths = 1,458,103 total world population = 7.7 BILLION.
So 1,458,103/7,700,000,000 = .018%
Now compare that to the Spanish flu of 1918.
Total SF deaths = 50 million 1918 world population 1.8 billion
50,000,000/1,800,000,000 = 2.7%
The survival rate for people under 40 is 99.98% no 98% according to the CDC.
Oh and the average age of a COVID19 death is actually HIGHER than life expectancy in this country but don't let any of these verifiable mathematical numbers confuse you.

This isn't like the Chicken Pox. You can catch it more than once. And, as for Sweden, they sure are getting a second wave. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-herd-immunity

well shit

Looks like its time to show Steeler nation why McFarland was drafted .
