Atlanta Braves Star Seriously Sick with Covid19

[+ WilliamM]

Freddie Freeman is running a high temperature. He is the first significant major league baseball player to test positive since training started a few days ago. His wife said we have been so careful and then it hit him like a ton of bricks.

 

Perhaps major league baseball should have just cancelled the 2020 season.

 

Players cannot live in a bubble, while seeing family members, flying to other baseball cities, driving back and forum to team stadiums, but without fans.

It is so infuriating and unnecessary. If we had been blessed from the beginning with a united federal and state leadership, we would have had C19 on the run in two months time. Even this late in the game we are still allowing ourselves to be ripped asunder by the teeth of arrogance and ignorance.

Los Angeles Dodger pitcher David Price is sitting out the 2020 baseball season because of concern for his family and COVID19.

We could still turn it around in 2-3 months if people get serious.

How I wish this would happen.

I miss baseball. But if there is a big risk to players, families, staff, then forget it. I can wait.

The Field of Dreams game in Iowa to be playied in August will feature Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis replaced the New York Yankees a few days ago. To keep the theme of New York traveling too far to play baseball. Makes sense.

Yes, but they won't!

 

When so much false information is disseminated by "leadership" and scientists are repeatedly contradicted and ignored, the people get mixed signals. This causes too many risks to be taken.

 

2-3 months? That would be nice. I am not optimistic at all given the mismanagement of the pandemic.

I'm so frustrated with MLB. I love baseball but not at the expense of the players. I know they are trying to mirror Korea's baseball situation but let's get real it's not the same thing. Korea is a smaller country and their society has experience with dealing with pandemics. Money talks and the owners want to try to save what they can but if things get worse and they have to call off the season what will be their justification for taking the risk in the first place?

So, a fever is now 'seriously sick' ???? WOW.

But. People are tired of it and don't care, so they throw off their mask and do whatever they damn well want to since "it's a free country". All very sad and so unnecessary.

"Freeman’s wife posted on Instagram that Freeman has “body aches, headaches, chills, and a high fever.” She said “He is someone who literally never gets sick and this virus hit him like a ton of bricks,” she said. “We’ve been really strict for the last 4 months,” she wrote. “Haven’t gone to a grocery store, haven’t gone out to dinner once, haven’t seen our friends … and still got it.” She added, “Please take this virus seriously, wear a mask when in public and wash your hands frequently.”

That is different information than what was originally posted...the information originally posted said

Freddie Freeman is running a high temperature.

 

So, what I replied to initially was based on the information given. THIS is different information.

He'll be fine. He probably feels a little poopy. A little rest and fluids and he'll be ready in a few weeks. Quit making it bigger than what it is.

 

Hugs,

What they meant to say was.....

 

”No seriously, he’s sick.”

I had the virus Greg and my doctor can't tell me if I'll have any long time complications from heart or liver problems. My doctor can't tell me if my antibodies will wear off in a couple of months and whether I could be re-infected in the fall. Who's your doctor that's giving you such great news?

There are always going to be extreme cases, like the double lung transplant I think a month or so here in Illinois but the vast majority have a mild discomfort and then get better in a few weeks. Maybe you'll be an extreme example maybe you won't. But I'm not putting my life on hold for a few hundred thousand deaths. ?‍♂️ Not sorry.

Perhaps that is what Nick Cordova's wife said early on. Why would someone minimum covid19? Sure there many relatively mild cases, but an unusually large number of deaths.

The virus is worse than even in the United States and Brazil. If major league baseball has to open and then close again, very bad news for the NFL. And as long as people like Jerry Falwell are making decisions for Liberty University in Virginia, the Victims of covid19 will multiple.

 

Even Harvard has decided to teach online for 2020-2021.

Three major league baseball teams cancelled practices today because they had not received the results from covid19 testing done late last week.
