Notebook: My understanding per league sources, is there's some hope the specific CoVID strain that caused this #Ravens cluster of positives & proximity concerns is tailing off, and that the team’s current CoVID list total may reduce by several guys from tracing elimination soon.
However, the NFL &/t team clearly need confirmation first. Meanwhile, I’m also hearing concerns about gameday locker room proximity being problematic, especially given recent tracing showing a link to how Ravens players were situated in a tighter indoor space. Demo coming on TL.
I’m also hearing talk from league sources on a desire to increase the usage of a specific Covid test that’s administered in higher risk situations & that also yields results faster on game day especially when the risk of potential exposure is higher. The NFL may need to conduct
an investigation, or take another look at locker room/ facility ventilation & air flow direction for all clubs and their stadiums based on the latest research of airborne spread. If a pathogen is carrying to game days, locker rooms especially become an obvious CoVID petrie dish.
Lastly, my understanding is that the Ravens strength coach reportedly pegged in the current rash of the team’s CoVID cases, did mention a cough after the Pats game, thought it was weather-related as opposed to CoVID-related bc initially it wasn’t persistent enough for concern.
