“We have seen zero evidence of transmission player-to-player on the field, either during games or practices, which I think is an important and powerful statement,” Dr. Sills said. “And it also confirms what other sports leagues have found around the world. We regularly communicate with World Rugby, Australian rules football, European soccer leagues. To date, no one has documented a case of player-to-player transmission in a field sporting environment. Obviously, I don’t think we’re at the point where we’d say it cannot occur, but none of us have seen yet, and that’s certainly encouraging.”
Instead, Dr. Sills said that they’ve discovered three high-risk areas: meeting, eating and greeting.
“As far as when you do have a positive individual in the team environment, there are three things that create high-risk contact, and that’s meeting, eating and greeting,” Dr. Sills told Breer. “Meeting, being the team meetings that happen. Eating together, that’s obvious, because people are unmasked. And if you’re sitting together with someone eating, that can create a high risk. And when I say ‘greeting,’ what I mean by that is social activity outside the building, people hanging out together doing things.”
Here is what Dr. David Chao wrote about viral load for OutKick in July.
Hopefully, this morning’s vaccine news means that a year from now, we will have COVID-19 in the rearview mirror.

Good stuff, Ryan…many tanks!!!
But but
Relax, G…CDC says they have no isolates to test, but they’re looking really, really hard for proteins associated with the virus so they can test.
I was mocking libs
LOL I knew that…libs saying, “but…we gotta test”…was just going along…sorry to step on your post…just kinda adding that they can’t test if they can’t find a sample…my bad, Gary
So it doesn’t spread on the field but apparently spreads at Halloween parties as the LSU team just found out.
Can’t we just admit nobody knows how this virus works except the fact it doesn’t affect the political affiliation of the left and super spreads in the right.
that seems about right.
One silver lining from the election, COVID19 is about to take a backseat to making Biden/Harris look like rock stars. The worst is behind us.
