I am very impressed with how the NFL has handled Covid thus far. Looks like it gunna be a tough next couple of weeks just based on reported numbers..but maybe then using lower Cycle Thresholds means there will not as many positives.

 

I have tweeted so many NFL reporters to have them track down the testing methodology of the NFL, what CTS they are using etc, but none seem to want to do it!

All NFL teams to operate in COVID-19 intensive protocol starting Saturday

 

With COVID-19 infection rates rising rapidly throughout the country, the NFL announced that starting on Saturday all 32 teams will operate for the rest of the season under the league's intensive protocol.
 

That calls for, among other restrictions, all players and coaches must have a negative from the previous day's testing before entering the facility, in addition to regular daily PCR testing, all meetings being held virtually unless they can be held outdoors or indoors with a pre-approved plan, and for face masks being worn at all times at the facility, including on the practice field by all personnel. All meals must be served in grab and go style to prevent people from congregating in meal rooms. Locker room use is strongly discouraged on non-game days.
