CDC/NFL Publish Revealing Wuhan Virus Paper
[American Thinker] Multiple outlets have recently reported on a new "scientific paper" published by the CDC in partnership with the NFL. The paper was authored by "medical experts" from both the NFL and the NFL Players Association. The paper details the efforts by the NFL to conduct its season in the midst of the Wuhan virus. As the lockdown narrative still prevails across much of the U.S., this paper provides some important revelations.

Before discussing the paper, it is important to note that, despite a few postponements and unlike the NCAA and thousands of high schools across the U.S. that caved to the Wuhan virus fear narrative, every NFL regular season game was played. Only the Super Bowl remains.

Reporting on the CDC/NFL paper, Fox News notes that "from Aug. 9 to Nov. 21 approximately 623,000 COVID-19 tests were performed on approximately 11,400 players and staff members and 329 tested positive (2.9%)." That’s about 55 tests per individual conducted over a 105-day period. (This period constitutes the bulk of the NFL regular season.) That means, on average, that NFL employees were getting tested once every two days.

The 2.9% number is calculated by dividing the number who tested positive (329) by the total number tested (11,400). However, it would be more revealing to note, of the 623,000 tests, how many tests were positive. Almost certainly this number is significantly lower than 2.9%. It’s also important to note that in spite of these "positive" tests, almost zero serious illnesses from the Wuhan virus were reported.

In other words, though the NFL’s rampant testing yielded a few "positives," virtually no one got sick.
Tell that to Myles Garrett...
Almost every player or coach who was reported to have missed a game had to do so because of a "positive test." Thus, as we have seen throughout the past ten months, a "positive test" does not in any way indicate an actual Wuhan virus case.

Only two NFL employees -- Denver’s defensive coordinator Ed Donatell and Jacksonville running back Ryquell Armstead -- reportedly had to be hospitalized due to Wuhan virus complications. Both have fully recovered. It seems that for NFL players -- and for football players at any level -- the dangers from the Wuhan virus pale in comparison to the dangers that come from playing in football games.
