TugHillMatt Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My gosh, so many uptight, unpleasant personalities on many of the other forums in here lately. No wonder I stick to mostly our sub and don't even get on social media much these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid-19 killed free agency this year, salary cap was much lower than originally anticipated.. Teams are making cuts they normally wouldn't and players are signing short term contracts in hopes of a bigger pay day in a year or two.. Giants for example hosted golladay for like 2.5 days (lol) but they have very little salary cap for this season, they have to hope these players will take back loaded contracts..They are also bringing CB jackson in for a visit, who they also can't really afford haha.. Hopefully for my sanity they find a way to nab one of the two and address the other position at #11 in the draft.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crybabies in the Lakes/Ohio Valley sub will have your head. I understand calling it the "China Virus" is not productive or positive at all....but NOT every event that happens in our nation is due to hatred towards a "certain group" of people. Some of it is just HATRED IN GENERAL. ALL involved are victims, regardless of their lifestyle, race, or choices. Sometimes it is those things...sometimes not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to you on living your life off of Facebook. As I get older, the less I feel the need to advertise my life on Facebook and provide ammunition in any form for people to judge, bicker, or be offended. I keep it to light-hearted, humorous thoughts, if that. I actually had people messaging me to make sure I was "alright" because I'd been so "silent" on FB this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that I foolishly thought I’d be one of the asymptomatic cases. Overall I’d liken it to mild case of the flu with a couple of weird symptoms. Here’s my timeline: Tuesday: Noticed my cardio workout was a little tough. I compared my heart rate to the previous like session and averaged 10bpm higher. Body was sore but was attributing that to a leg workout the previous Friday. Wednesday. Sore and irritable. Talking winded me. My skin was sensitive, like a light sunburn. Thursday: More of the same but more intense. Nasal congestion started along with a sore throat. Was tested that morning. Friday: Same as above but lost sense of taste around lunch time. Ended up falling asleep around 6 pm. Wife’s test results came back positive. Saturday: Aches and sunburn feeling went away but very congested. Was able to be productive around the house but had to nap at one point. Today(Sunday): Not as congested. No aches, am able to be productive with getting winded. Maybe a little tired. Sitting on the patio annoying the sun. Im going to wait till next weekend to hit the gym, in the meantime I’ve just been force feeding myself. This no taste thing sucks. It’s not your entire tongue. Things that are bitter stand out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are your wifes symptoms? I wonder if you have the UK variant? Sounds similar to the people at my work. It seems that's the predominant strain in the USA now?

That seems to be one of the major hallmarks of this virus and the thing that makes me somewhat leery of it. Some older or weaker people have zero/minimal symptoms and some very healthy people end up with severe and long lasting symptoms. I just talked to a business acquaintance who is a healthy 40 years old. His whole family got it and the rest all had minor symptoms. He ended up in the hospital with pneumonia and kidney failure! No rhyme or reason. It’s a good reminder that I don’t want it because who knows.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still so much up in the air. I am in a personal dilemma of continuing to risk possible exposure to it or getting the vaccine. I am also anxious about getting the vaccine (for personal reasons of my own). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of the speed with which it was developed. I know I don't want to get the virus either, though. The after-effects can be brutal and it's a terrible way to die if heaven forbid it came to that. A co-worker of my mom's passed away from it two months ago. She was overweight and had diabetes but it's a risk no matter what your health profile is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm going to every Bills game this year and you'll have to take a negative test each game or proof of vaccine, I'll take the vaccine. The same will likely be true for international travel. Iceland is requiring vaccine cards to enter their country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that scares me the most is the brain fog from long haul covid.

Clubs will designate a number of draft ambassadors -- fans who get front-row seats. They must be vaccinated and wear masks. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31113173/nfl-reveals-plans-2021-draft-cleveland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all came here the same way, we're all humans. The golden rule is all we have to do, treat others as you want to be treated. It's so simple, yet so hard.

Also, has any other subscriber to this thread gotten covid yet or am I the first? Have no idea how I caught it. Mostly feels like the flu except the loss of taste and skin hypersensitivity which I read is a rare but documented symptom. Whole family had it back in December... except me! 5 negative swabs over 3 weeks, 3 negative antibody tests... beats me how I couldn’t catch it... Kids were fine after 2 days. Wife had mild flu symptoms for about a week but didn’t have taste smell back for almost a month. Only odd long term thing so far has been hair loss. My wife has been losing an unusual amount of hair recently and another female coworker of mine who had it around the same time said she literally has handfuls of hair falling out daily. This whole virus is just so weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
