It’s not just New England: #Chiefs practice squad QB Jordan Ta'amu has tested positive for COVID-19 and is being added to the reserve list, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

I agree, but NFL facilities aren’t sized for 6 feet between people. Then you have the whole huddle, tacking, thing. It is actually easier to prevent it from coming in to the team than it is to stop it from spreading once you have an infected person. [Reply]

The chiefs have set up their facilities to accommodate social distancing [Reply]

So completely wrong. Those droplets land on surfaces people touch.It's mostly spread by touching things that have covid and touching your face, mouth, nose area. It's a lot less likely to get it directly through the air.
Ever notice you don't ever see doctors wearing masks when you go in for a visit but you do see them frequently washing their hands? [Reply]

I don't know what doctors you see, but the doctors I know wear n95s at work. [Reply]

Every Doctor/Nurse that i've seen since COVIDS started has been wearing a mask. COVID is transmittable through the air. This has been know since january, that's why masks are so important. That's also why it was borderline criminal that a certain orange buffoon told people that masks were unneccessary even though he already had read a report that it was airborne. [Reply]

Nope. Link me evidence and studies of large transfer from fomite or touch transmission. It doesn't exist. You CAN get it from touch but its extremely unlikely ESPECIALLY in real life scenarios. Someone with Covid can even cough directly on your food and you can EAT it and still unlikely to get it. Its a respiratory driven virus.
There was a study in South Korea about a huge outbreak at an apartment facility and it was found that while there were hundreds of cases, none of them came from fomite transmission.
Here is some info Ive dug up in a very quick perusing
And the reason doctors wear gloves is there are many infectious diseases that are spread primarily from fomite transmission. But Covid 19 is not one of them. That is why social distancing and wearing masks are so important because of HOW the virus infects ppl. [Reply]

Why would you spread disinformation like this. This is directly from the CDC summary on how COVID-19 is spread:
“Respiratory droplets can land on hands, objects or surfaces around the person when they cough or talk, and people can then become infected with COVID-19 from touching hands, objects or surfaces with droplets and then touching their eyes, nose, or mouth.” [Reply]
