    The Rock should swoop in and get their players to play in the xfl

    Big 12 is going to try to play.

    SEC, ACC, Big 12 and American, let's ride.

    Logically, he's partly wrong. But it's a decent appeal.

    If these players have been in these communities that are so dangerous for the past five months, and haven't gotten it... then logically the community isn't dangerous but safe.

    So... they'd be going from a known safe place to an unknown place.

    The hope is that the unknown place is also safe, or the fear is that the current safe place becomes less safe. Which is bad either way.

    The healthcare though, he is spot on. Which may end up being more important in the end than just keeping safe.

    Didn't 30 or so Clemson players get it or have it right at the time of reporting to Summer workouts?

    Yup. I imagine a lot of teams are damn near at the herd immunity level.

    Yea, herd immunity isn't achieved during a pandemic, it protects against the next outbreak.

    It doesn't really matter if the entire offensive line has cleared it, the quarterback isn't protected if the safety brings it right to him.

    David Ubben, my personal oracle to the football gods, has an interesting column up. And by interesting, I mean sobering. We may yet have the season cancelled.

    Yeah, I've said all along SEC may very well not play.

    But they are making a much stronger effort TO TRY TO PLAY than the B1G or Pac 12 did.

    Right. Herd immunity (true HI) doesn't prevent infections, it prevents epidemics.

    And, it isn't a single value everywhere (differences in innate contact differences shift the susceptible fraction required to prevent outbreaks). And with superspread events can be overshot, as I've heard discussed for prisons.
