[ericc]

At Least Four Strains Of COVID-19 Were Found In Ravens’ Facility, Team President Dick Cass Says

https://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2020/12/05/baltimore-ravens-coronavirus-outbreak-facility-update-dick-cass-statement/

“Throughout the season, the NFL has updated the protocol to reflect new knowledge about the coronavirus and its spread,” Cass said. “We believe in the protocol and made every effort to adhere to it. We strive not only to “play like a Raven” but also to “comply like a Raven.”

The outbreak within the organization forced the Ravens-Steelers game set for Thanksgiving night to be moved three times.

The team has not had a positive test for four straight days.

Baltimore will host the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday night.

Lol.. With Covid we should shut it down though.. ..

[Ghenghis Kahn]

Most died from car accidents and heart disease. Why not ban cars for NFL players if they truly care about them? This whole Covid thing is a joke

[JIBBBY]

Covid is a joke for the healthy and fit.

I always said keep the elderly and sickly people isolated and wearing masks not the the rest of the healthy world.

No reason to shut down economies over this BS.

[Roger T. Bannon]

If you guys made billions off of taxpayers, you'd watch your step too.

[stake1]

One player had a runny nose. Another had an ear ache. Both were in the icu

[Kermit]

Lamar Jackson had it and farted it out.

[Foxx]

One player had a runny nose. Another had an ear ache. Both were in the icu

And both got tested twice to confirm the diagnosis, 4 cases were added to the tally.

[JIBBBY]

[pilebuck13]

Idk my 93 year old diabetic grandpa survived it didn’t even go to hospital but we need to destroy the economy

[ace7550]

Have any even been hospitalized?

[pilebuck13]

Have any even been hospitalized?

No dude what’s the death rate?

[ace7550]

No dude what’s the death rate?

Rounded to the nearest whole number? Zero.
