oldtimer 8,684 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 lets try to keep this out of the Locker room Fan who attended Texans-Chiefs NFL opener tests positive for COVID-19 Terez PaylorSenior NFL writer Yahoo SportsThu, September 17, 2020, 12:41 PM CDT THE K-C HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND CHIEFS PLAN TO REVIEW HOW THE GAME WENT WITH FANS IN THE STANDS. Health department to review Chiefs fans safety KSHB - Kansas City Scripps Scroll back up to restore default view. KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A fan who attended the season-opening NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans has tested positive for COVID-19, the Kansas City Health Department announced Thursday. After the fan tested positive the day after the game, which was held on Sept. 10, the health department and the Chiefs identified and contacted the 10 people who had close contact with the individual, and all of them have since been notified and told to quarantine. In a statement, the Chiefs said the contact tracing mechanisms that the club has in place — which included parking and ticket scanning data — indicate that all involved were in compliance with mask mandates. The team also said Arrowhead Stadium’s COVID-19 plan limited potential exposure to a single seating zone within the stadium. “I want to remind everyone that COVID-19 is anywhere and everywhere,” Kansas City health director Dr. Rex Archer said in a statement. “While we’re all tired of it, frustrated and even angry at how it has altered and stricken our lives and livelihoods, we must continue to think of those who have not and will not survive it.” After an offseason in which on-field work during OTAs and all preseason games were canceled, the event was the first NFL game held this season, and the first to be played in front of fans. The Chiefs, along with the Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts, were the only teams in the 32-team league to announce they would have fans in the stands for their season openers, and all decided to do so with decreased capacity. Arrowhead Stadium, which typically holds approximately 76,000, drew an announced crowd of 15,895 to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Not that NFL is a lot of fun with a handful of fans it's still much better to have a few than none IMO after watching on Sunday. I hope this doesn't reflect bad on the decision to allow fans but it's very likely that NFL will mandate no fans in games at some point during this season.

reesebobby 5,661 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So then 15,894 out of 15,895 didn't? That's crazy good luck. moons314, SEMO and oldtimer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There's also no guarantee that it's due to going to the game but fear is much stronger than reason. moons314 and kcchief4lif 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tested positive the day after the game. You don't test positive for at least 3 days after exposure. It's 100 percent he didn't get it at the game. The question is whether he exposed anyone at the game. That's why they contacted people that were close to him. sith13, qnet, oldtimer and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMO 6,811 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Who. Fucking. Cares. If they are going to whine every time someone who attended a game tests positive for this overblown wu-flu, then just shut the whole league down and be done with it. What a bunch of pussies we are. Previous generations are laughing their asses off at us. AppalachianChief, ClarksvilleChief, moons314 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is that like 0.006%, about the same odds as a healthy person dying of covid? Only one thing to do... shut it all down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expected them to, but hope. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 The guy tested positive before he ever went by the way, he just didn’t have results back yet. System broke down somehow because they were supposed to require a negative test to enter a suite/box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
