COVID Killed Sports as a Career

Comes as an afterthought but I set the $port$ $ection aside before beginning and never even looked at it when I was done.

Who gives a f**k about $ports anymore?

"Doctors recommend cardiac screening tests for competitive athletes who have recovered from COVID-19 after a small study found heart damage in 1 in 7 college sports competitors, including in those whose coronavirus infection caused no obvious symptoms. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging on 26 competitive college athletes who had either a mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection found four, or 15%, with signs of inflammation of the heart muscle. These suspected myocarditis patients were males in their late teens and early 20s, including two who experienced no COVID-19 symptoms, doctors at Ohio State University in Columbus reported Friday in a research letter in JAMA Cardiology. The finding adds to a growing body of evidence that the pneumonia-causing coronavirus is also resulting in damage to the heart and other organs, and sapping fitness. While little is known about the long-term cardiac consequences, screening for heart complications may identify people at risk of further injury, the researchers said....."

Only losers have no heart, right?

Bloomberg(!) lets you know all the COVID-19 symptoms you didn’t know about as this f**king unbelievable medical tyranny is about to be tighter than than you can possibly imagine.


You can turn off the Friday night lights:

"Few in this town in the hinterlands of Dallas question why playing football is more important to them than locking down to keep COVID-19 at bay, just as few question why a town of about 18,000 people would need a stadium big enough to seat a third of its population. While many professional teams play cloistered without spectators, and college conferences like the Big 10 and Pac-12 go on hiatus, Texas high schools are getting on with the football season, fans and all. “Football in Texas is huge. You’ve got to find a way to move forward,” said 66-year-old Kim Merchant, who was among a few thousand spectators streaming into the stadium rising out of North Texas cow pastures....."

"Boston College COVID-19 outbreak worries epidemiologists, students, community" by Laura Krantz, Bob Hohler and Deirdre Fernandes Globe Staff, September 11, 2020

Boston College raced to contain an outbreak of COVID-19 Friday, as furious students and neighbors expressed fears for their health and a prominent epidemiologist questioned whether the school is doing enough testing.

“It’s very hard to put the genie back in the bottle,” said Dr. Rochelle Walensky, chief of the infectious disease division at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Now they are on a massive chase, and time is not on their side.”

Damn right, which is why I am absolutely freaking out as this point. We are the cusp of a hell of a world in which, quite frankly, I do not wish to exist.

Not to be morbid, but I see my death in view.

Between Aug. 16 and Sept. 9, the campus reported 81 undergraduates testing positive — more than half this past week.

The situation appears to have all the indications of a perfect COVID-19 storm in the making. Interviews with students, parents, and neighbors indicate infrequent testing of students and staff, weak contact tracing, and scant communication with the campus and neighborhood. Many students said they learned of a cluster among the swimming and diving teams through news reports Thursday.

Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Friday that Boston College’s COVID safety protocols were supposed to catch outbreaks like this one.

“We’re not in a crisis moment yet but we do have to watch these . . . pop-ups," the mayor said, speaking on the “Boston Public Radio” show on GBH. "Those bring great concern to me and to the city.”

We will get back to his damn radio show later.

Boston College has been testing its community far less frequently than many other area universities, with Boston University, Northeastern University, and others testing all on-campus students at least twice a week.

At BC, students were tested when they arrived on campus. Since then, the university has been spot testing asymptomatic people.

"I don’t care if you’re the president of the United States or the president of Boston College, the bottom line is, we need more testing,'' said Mike Russo, the father of two BC students, one of whom is in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, the other isolating because of his exposure to infected students.

The brothers, both juniors, had socialized with members of the swimming and diving team before one tested positive. Because they live off campus, their father said, they have received no support from the school.

“BC brought all these kids back to school,” Russo said. “They should be taking responsibility for them.”

I feel sorry for this disillusioned soul who let his kids become ensnared in this madness. He thinks the 90% false positive PCR tests is valid and the jig is so up on this thing and yet we are getting unbelievably insulting and offensive bullhorn propaganda from the pre$$ here. 

It's so goddamn disgusting it makes one sick, and may divine justice soon be meted out them. I wash my hands of the whole f**king thing.

Anxiety has been rising among students on campus as well. Last Saturday, a student who works as a lifeguard was on duty when members of the swimming and diving team were in the BC pool. Team members first reported feeling ill Monday and began testing positive for COVID-19 Tuesday, but in an interview, the lifeguard said no one alerted her and other lifeguards about the outbreak and she first learned about it by reading a Globe story late Wednesday. She asked not to be identified out of fear of reprisals.

Every sniffle or cough is going to be diagnosed as COVID with the slave muzzles never coming off.

What’s more, the lifeguard said, BC informed student employees at the pool they would be tested weekly to help ensure their safety, but she said she was first denied a test Thursday and then finally managed to obtain one Friday.

The lifeguard complained in a letter to administrators Thursday, but said no one had responded to her by Friday. She said she no longer feels safe at the pool and plans to give up her job, though she needs the income.

“BC is an institution that I assumed would care about its students, but it seems like they’re struggling right now to find a plan to make students safe, or they never really had a plan in place that was feasible,” the lifeguard said.

Did you see the lifeguard they frog-marched away in Spain?

She and other students said they considered it unfair and potentially harmful that football players and other athletes were receiving weekly tests, but the general student body was not. Numerous students who have been back on campus for more than two weeks said in interviews they have been tested only once, upon arrival.

You kids do not want to be tested with that faulty piece of $hit, and please wake up to the vaccinated and totalitarian hell they are setting up for you. 

Get out of there now!

One student said eight others in his dorm who are not athletes tested positive this week for COVID-19. The student, who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals, said he was disturbed to find himself standing in line at a sandwich shop off campus Friday behind a member of the swimming and diving team. He had presumed all team members would be in isolation.

Walensky, the MGH epidemiologist, said BC has to significantly ramp up its testing, expand contact-tracing, and ensure that those who need to be in isolation are not spreading the illness.

It’s hard to tell how large the outbreak at BC might be, Walensky said, or even whether the campus needs to temporarily shut down or other more severe measures taken.

That's when I got out of the pool.

BC has previously said its testing wasn’t as frequent as BU’s and Northeastern’s because its campus is less densely populated, but this week it boosted testing, conducting 2,500 tests, with additional tests Friday afternoon, said Jack Dunn, a spokesman.

“The increase in testing was not triggered exclusively by the cluster, but rather is part of our strategy to aggressively test students who are identified through contact tracing and target the residence halls and off-campus apartments where the positive cases have occurred,” Dunn said.

The president of BC’s undergraduate student government, Christian Guma, has led a campaign called #KeepTheHeightsHome, to promote health and safety amid the pandemic. “You can never get comfortable because of how rapidly things change, but we need to continue as a student body to really look out for each other," he said Friday.

Emily Pollock, 21, a junior from Pennsylvania, said she’d like to hear more from the university about the outbreak or what it’s doing to contain the spread. “It feels a little bit that we’re being left in the dark,” Pollock said.

The college sent a note to students Friday evening reminding them of safety protocols, but it did not specifically mention the swim team outbreak. An “increase in positive COVID-19 cases this week,” the school said, was largely attributable to students interacting within 6 feet of each another without masks, and warned the increase “has put us at risk and jeopardized the successful semester that we have all worked hard to achieve.”

Madeline Bockus, a senior who lives on campus, said she and her five roommates are more fearful of interacting with others. Bockus said she has been tested twice so far, while one roommate has been tested just once since she moved in. Her roommates have begun to wonder why students at other universities are tested more frequently. “We kind of don’t want to leave [the dorm], especially after hearing the news about the increase,” she said. “I’m probably more worried than I was originally.”

BC, like many colleges in the Boston area, is providing isolation housing only for students who live on-campus. Off-campus students must isolate in their apartments or private residences, and university health officials do check-ins routinely. (Tufts, by contrast, encourages off-campus student to come special housing it installed for isolation.)

“We have confidence that students living on or off campus will abide by our quarantine and isolation protocols,” Dunn said, but BC neighbors are not reassured.

He's been in the Spotlight as a longtime spokesman for them, if you know what I mean.

Diana Weiske, who lives less than a mile from campus, is angry the school has not communicated to neighbors about its plan to prevent outbreaks, despite BC students living in her condo complex, sharing hallways and washing machines with neighbors.

She wants more frequent testing of students — at least once a week — more communication with neighbors, and quarantining of any students who test positive on campus, regardless of where they live.

“They’re falling far short of their responsibility to both their students, their staff, their faculty and the community at large,” she said..... 

That is what Ms. Weiske(!) says, huh?

"Mass. college presidents to state lawmakers: Don’t allow betting on our sports teams; The leaders of schools that include BC, BU, and Harvard say it would ‘create unnecessary and unacceptable risks’" by Andy Rosen Globe Staff, September 11, 2020

The leaders of the most prominent college athletic programs in Massachusetts are urging state lawmakers not to pass any sports betting law that allows wagers on collegiate contests, arguing that such a measure would “create unnecessary and unacceptable risks."

Protecting the kids all over the place as they imprison them in dorms or who knows where?

Where is "quarantine?"

The letter, dated Thursday, was signed by the presidents of Boston College, Boston University, Harvard University, Holy Cross, Merrimack College, Northeastern University, and the University of Massachusetts system, along with the athletic directors of most of those institutions.

“Based on our years of experience, each of us believes that such legislation will create unnecessary and unacceptable risks to student athletes, their campus peers, and the integrity and culture of colleges and universities in the Commonwealth,” they said.

HA-HA-HA-HA! 

That's assuming they had integrity in the first place. 

What a bunch of holier-than-thou a$$holes!

The message comes as members of the Massachusetts House and Senate continue to negotiate over a wide-ranging economic development bill in which the House has proposed to include a measure legalizing sports betting. The Senate passed a measure that did not include sports betting, and the two sides are working to iron out that and other differences.

Doing everything they can now to find revenue after they de$troyed our lives.

The House proposal is projected to generate $50 million in annual revenue, of which a significant portion would initially be used to help hard-hit restaurants and to support jobs and education for low-income and vulnerable young people.

Yeah, sure. 

So where is it really going, into who$e well-connected pockets?

The conversation around sports betting in Massachusetts has been going on for more than two years, and state officials have taken various positions on whether college sports should be included. Most states that have legalized sports betting have allowed wagers on college games, though some have prohibited bets on contests involving in-state institutions.

Gambling interests have argued for collegiate sports betting to be allowed, or for state regulators to have discretion on whether to permit them. The industry argues that a prohibition would lead people to continue making illegal bets, especially online. The research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming has projected that a full prohibition on college games could reduce the size of a legal market by 25 percent.

Governor Charlie Baker in early 2019 proposed a measure that would allow sports betting at casinos or through regulated applications online, but it would prohibit college bets.

He gave a rousing pre-game $peech, one of those win-one-for-the-Gimper type deals, but the team ended being upset by the galloping ghost of COVID.

The latest proposal out of the House would allow bets on college sports along with pro games, but it would ban “any wager with an outcome dependent on the performance of an individual athlete in any collegiate sport or athletic event, including but not limited, to in-game or in-play wagers.”

In their letter, the college presidents said they were particularly concerned about such bets, but even if wagers on individual performance are banned, they worry that colleges will have to devote resources to protecting against corruption or rules violations among athletes and the student body in general.

“Should sports betting become a reality in Massachusetts, college and university leaders will … have to devote more scarce time and resources to protecting the brand, values, image, and reputation of their schools,” the letter said.

Now back in your dorm room, kids.

"Of struggling area, Walsh says, ‘We have to get it better under control’" by Danny McDonald Globe Staff, September 11, 2020

Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Friday the city is working to address the opioid and homeless crisis in the area known as “Mass and Cass,” while acknowledging, “We have to get it better under control.”

“The problem is . . . a big problem,” he said during his appearance on Boston Public Radio’s “Ask the Mayor” segment.

One caller, a South End resident, described human waste being a common sight on sidewalks, the front steps of buildings, and in parks, to say nothing of the proliferation of needles in the neighborhood. She said people are sleeping in parks and that there have been encampments of the homeless on the streets. She added that the area around the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard, which is sometimes disparagingly called “Methadone Mile,” is now being referred to by some as “Marty’s Mile.”

“It really, really, really turned abysmal,” said the caller.

Oh, so Bo$ton is a $hithole just like all the rest of the big cities, and it is so good of the Globe to shovel this to us on a Slow Saturday! 

Yup, they spend so much time buffing that turd they call a city over there, it's bad form to know it stinks of feces.

Walsh replied that Mass and Cass is one of the biggest challenges the city faces, saying that many services that could help the homeless and the addicted have been cut because of the COVID-19 pandemic. He highlighted the city’s opening an office of recovery services under his watch, which he described as a first-in-the-nation initiative.

How is that going to help?

What a self-promoting $ack of $hit!

Last week, Walsh released a progress report on the plan for Mass and Cass. According to his office, the opioid crisis there has intensified amid the pandemic. The city logged 315 “treatment placements” from the area last month.

The city is literally going down the toilet and Nero issues progress reports!

The state’s hospitals and prisons are discharging people with no place to go, said Walsh, and in some instances, those individuals are being sent to Boston. He said that prisons and jails need to stop doing that. Many people who congregate at Mass and Cass, said the mayor, don’t live in the city and didn’t come from Boston.

It's a policy he was in favor of because of the $camdemic!

He acknowledged that people “are going to the bathroom on the streets” and there is open drug-dealing in the area. Walsh said he has been on calls almost every day this week discussing the problem with his City Hall team.

He said that if people are not willing to seek help, there are not a lot of options, calling the current situation at Mass and Cass “a perfect storm.”

“The last thing we want to do is be arresting everyone out on the street. These folks have . . . an illness, and we have to treat them where they’re at. That might not be what people want to hear,” said Walsh.

That's not the way to win reelection, Marty!

As for arresting folks, the crackdown on gatherings and moralizing from Marty the Megalomaniac has all been been flushed down the BG plumbing.

Another South End caller to the radio program on GBH said he found Walsh’s answers regarding Mass and Cass to be “woefully inadequate” and questioned the mayor about the Long Island bridge reconstruction. Walsh closed the old bridge to Long Island in 2014 because of its deteriorating condition, but has pledged to rebuild it and reconnect the mainland to the island. It had been used as a home for people who were homeless or battling addiction and he wants it to be that again. He has promised a new rehabilitation campus for the island.

On Friday, Walsh mentioned that the city of Quincy has tried to block the bridge project every step of the way. Long Island is within Boston’s borders, but traffic goes through Quincy’s Squantum neighborhood in order to reach the bridge site. Quincy and Boston have locked horns in a protracted legal battle over the bridge proposal.

He passes the buck, and then says it has nothing to do with it.

Walsh said the situation at Mass and Cass was not created by the closure of the bridge.

“It was created because we have an opioid crisis. The drug companies preyed on people, and that’s why we have a crisis,” he said, “and we’ve had a crisis quite honestly for a long time, and pointing fingers at me, which is fine, is not the solution because I didn’t create this, but what I am trying to do is find a solution.”

Woah, woah, woah, Marty, watch your tongue! 

The pressure must be on, and it's not like they would prey on us over a phony crisis so endless inoculations could make them trillions, right?

During a portion of his radio appearance, Walsh got into a somewhat testy exchange with host Jim Braude, who pressed the mayor on whether he plans to seek a third term in next year’s city election. The exchange occurred days after Walsh broke the news of City Councilor Michelle Wu’s plans to run for mayor when he was contacted by The Boston Globe. Walsh has yet to make a formal announcement regarding whether he will run for another term.

Braude committed a faux pas, and I'll bet the weasel slinks off into the ether (with all due respect and apologies to weasels, folks).

On Friday, Walsh said he is focused on dealing with the COVID-19 crisis, preparing for the upcoming school year in the city, and helping flip the White House. He said he has no plans to give up on the city, where he has “a lot more to do.”

“I’m focusing on my job,” he said.

He's showing leadership there, and pitching in on the vote fraud subversion of the President of the United States.

"Families asking why paid child care is allowed in closed schools; In a baffling contradiction, paid child care centers are opening in some school buildings that are closed due to the pandemic" by Stephanie Ebbert Globe Staff, September 11, 2020

Many families were surprised to learn last week that some students shut out of the classrooms will spend their “remote learning” days in the school gym — at a cost to their parents of $346 a week.

“I thought it wasn’t safe to go back to school?” one mother, Paula McDonough Glynn, protested on Facebook, where others demanded to know: Why were their kids allowed to come to school only if they paid for it?

Such baffling contradictions are taking shape at schools across Massachusetts, where wary parents and resistant teachers unions have balked at a full return to schools, even though Governor Charlie Baker has insisted it’s safe in most communities.

Not baffling at all if you understand the underlying agenda that is going on.

Six months into the pandemic with parents desperately trying to return to work, most children still will not be going back to school full time. Community organizations across the state are scrambling to provide care for children at a hodgepodge of local schools, church basements, and community centers.

The state gave municipalities the responsibility of inspecting the spaces for safety and conducting employee criminal and sexual offender background checks. That worries some providers who are concerned the task will fall to local boards of health, who may be overwhelmed by the ongoing pandemic.

“It would have been much better if the state prioritized expanding existing licensed programs instead of at the eleventh hour issuing licensed exemptions for pop-up programs,”  said Ardith Wieworka, chief executive officer of the Massachusetts Afterschool Partnership.....

"The coronavirus pandemic has taken a harsh toll on the mental health of young Americans, according to a new poll that finds adults under 35 especially likely to report negative feelings or experience physical or emotional symptoms associated with stress and anxiety. A majority of Americans ages 18 through 34 — 56% — say they have at least sometimes felt isolated in the past month, compared with about 4 in 10 older Americans, according to the latest COVID Response Tracking Study conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. Twenty-five percent of young adults rate their mental health as fair or poor, compared with 13% of older adults, while 56% of older adults say their mental health is excellent or very good, compared with just 39% of young adults. In the midst of the pandemic, young adults are navigating life transitions such as starting college and finding jobs, all without being able to experience normal social activities that might be especially essential for people who are less likely to have already married and started their own families. The study found that younger Americans also consistently show higher rates of psychosomatic symptoms, like having trouble sleeping, getting headaches or crying, compared to other age groups....."

Believe it or not, I find myself also cracking a bit under this psychological torture based on a damnable lie -- reflected in the writing -- when I have been more or less minimally impacted save for lack of contact with friends, so I can imagine what the poor kids are going through.

The answer, of course, will be to prescribe some mind-altering pre$cription pharmaceutical.

Would our beneficial protectors in government and education have done this to them if they really cared? 

No, they wouldn't have. What we have is $atanic evil occupying all the upper ranks of ins$titutions and $ociety.

"When the coronavirus pandemic hit, Americans vastly scaled back their preventive health care, and there is little sign that this deferred care will be made up. Vaccinations dropped by nearly 60 percent in April, and almost no one was getting a colonoscopy, according to new data from the nonprofit Health Care Cost Institute. The data, drawn from millions of health insurance claims, shows a consistent pattern: Preventive care declined drastically this spring and, as of late June, had not yet recovered to normal levels. Many types of such care were still down by a third at the start of this summer, the most recent data available shows, as Americans remained wary of visiting hospitals and medical offices. Americans continued seeking care they couldn’t avoid — hospital admissions for childbirth, for example, held steady — but skipped care they could put off. More invasive preventive procedures, such as mammograms and colonoscopies, showed the greatest decline, but one preventive service stayed relatively steady through the pandemic: pregnancy-related ultrasounds....."

Think we are trusting you after all this?

I thought doctors were smart, but it turns out they are nothing but $hills for the vaccine and pharmaceutical firms.

BAD KIDS!

"It’s been a month since German children began to lead Europe in their post-summer return to school, streaming back into classrooms and onto playgrounds, with little aside from masks to differentiate the scene from pre-coronavirus times. So far, epidemiologists are cautiously optimistic. The school openings have been accompanied by some panicked closures and quarantines. In the first week, there were 31 clusters, amounting to 150 cases, of the novel coronavirus in schools, according to Germany’s Robert Koch Institute. At least 41 schools in Berlin were reported to have been affected in the first two weeks, but there have been few transmissions within schools themselves, health experts say, and although the number of new daily cases in Germany has been rising, schools haven’t been identified as a driver of infections."

Just IGNORE that STUDY because I'M SURE the PRE$$ WILL, just as they ignored the CDC death numbers and 90% false positive cases (data set from Mass., too, so our criminal leaders are full on up with this planned $camdemic).


{@@##$$%%^^&&}

They will pay attention to this one, though:

"Germans are more afraid of President Trump’s policies than of the coronavirus, according to a major annual survey released Thursday. “Only around every third respondent fears that they or someone they know [well] could be infected with the coronavirus,” Brigitte Römstedt, a researcher with Germany’s R&V Versicherung AG, an insurance company that has commissioned the survey since 1992, said in a news release. The survey question also asked about fears of developing other severe illnesses. The survey was conducted in June and July. The researchers called the low level of concern in the country about being infected with the coronavirus “astonishing.” Those concerns are far exceeded by fears of Trump’s policies and their impact — with 53 percent of Germans saying they are afraid that his presidency makes the world a more dangerous place. Germany has suffered its most abrupt economic downturn since World War II, but its coronavirus caseload remains relatively low compared with that of other countries.

I don't believe the survey after the protests from a couple of weeks back, and view it as something akin to Nazi propaganda; however, if true then the once-proud and extremely intelligent Germans are now delusional fools lost in TDS.

The German survey’s annual index — which indicates whether Germans are overall more or less afraid than the previous year — fell to its lowest level since the survey was first commissioned three decades ago. Concerns over the economic impact of the crisis have been on the rise, however, with more Germans saying they fear rising costs of living and a higher unemployment level. Researchers have warned that countries with less severe first waves of the virus may be less attuned to the risks posed by COVID-19 than residents of harder-hit nations. They cautioned that a lack of concern could lead to complacency and a rise in infections. Those warnings appeared to be validated when infection numbers rose over the past month — after the R&V survey was conducted. More recently, however, German infection numbers have plateaued, even as they continued to rise in France and other European Union countries....."

Forget that garbage spew that ended the brief; it turns out German have more immediate  concerns at the top of their list than Trump. 

Thanks for the deceptiveness and deceit, Globe!

Coincidence?

I wouldn't cross the channel if I were you:

"Britain said it will launch a new COVID-19 app across England and Wales later this month which will allow people to use QR codes when they enter venues, boosting the country's contact tracing to help keep the spread of the virus in check. With cases rising, Health Minister Matt Hancock said the new app would help NHS (National Health Service) Test and Trace, the scheme used in England to contact those who have been in contact with a COVID-infected person, to reach more people. "The launch of the app later this month across England and Wales is a defining moment and will aid our ability to contain the virus at a critical time," he said in a statement on Friday.

He said they "need to use every tool at our disposal to control the spread of the virus including cutting edge technology," and the Apple and Google apps are a "defining moment that will aid our ability to contain the virus at a critical time."

Previous attempts to develop more sophisticated tracing apps  have struggled to expand beyond the pilot stage, and the  government has faced criticism after missing launch deadlines. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has banned groups of more than six people from meeting from Monday as the government tries to keep the spread of the virus under control amid a sharp rise in cases in recent days. The UK recorded 2,919 new daily confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, and cases have started to track much higher than the levels of around 1,000 per day recorded in August. The new app will be officially launched on September 24, and available for pubs, restaurants, cinemas, hairdressers and other venues and their customers to download. People visiting a venue will check-in by scanning a QR code displayed at the entrance on their mobile phone which can in turn be used by NHS Test and Trace to contact them to tell them to self-isolate in the event of a COVID-19 outbreak. The use of QR codes will replace the current system whereby people have to manually fill in their contact details when they enter a venue."

It's the lesser of two evils, and what the article doesn't tell you that a "study of the coronavirus infection in England indicates that the epidemic is doubling every seven to eight days, and the finding came in a study of over 150,000 volunteers, who were tested between Aug. 22 and Sept. 7, by Imperial College London and the polling firm Ipsos MORI."

Now leaders of the effort to expand use of convalescent plasma are scrambling to reassure the public that the treatment does have merit, while fending off unfavorable comparisons to Trump’s previous pet coronavirus treatment, hydroxychloroquine. Under similar pressure from Trump, the Food and Drug Administration authorized emergency use of hydroxychloroquine early in the pandemic only to withdraw the order in June when rigorous clinical trials proved the drug was ineffective. Doctors and proponents of convalescent plasma treatment say the comparisons to hydroxychloroquine are both unfair and inappropriate. They say plasma with high levels of coronavirus-fighting antibodies holds promise and is safe, unlike hydroxychloroquine, which poses a risk of fatal cardiac events. “It’s a real shame that it has gotten politicized the way it has. The comparisons to hydroxychloroquine are unjustified because they are very different products and the safety data is very different,” said Kate Fry, chief executive of America’s Blood Centers, a coalition of nonprofit blood donor banks that has the largest government contract to gather plasma from recovered coronavirus patients....."

Time to let the cat out of the bag:

"An estimated 19.3 million fans turned on NBC to watch the NFL’s season kickoff between the Chiefs and the Texans, or 13 percent fewer viewers than 2019′s opening game. NBC touted it as the “most-watched sporting event since the Super Bowl.” That’s true, although because of COVID-19, there were several months without any live sports on TV. Thursday represented the first day that every major professional sport had games on the same day. NBC said there was a bump in live streaming of the game. With online added in, viewership was down 11 percent from last year. Even with a middling Nielsen report from opening night, the return of football is a huge relief for broadcast television networks. The most-watched TV show last week, “60 Minutes,” reached 6.5 million viewers...."

The most anticipated event in six months and the viewership ratings were DOWN?

For FOOTBALL?
