So what line of work makes you such an "essential" employee? Apparently I don't qualify: https://www.cnet.com/how-to/coronavirus-unemployment-payments-applying-and-more/ Besides, am currently still working, and I don't accept government handouts. My spouse and I have enough financial liquidity to easily last for the next 6 months or so. Do you?

Surely you jest:

More than one, less than one million. Yes, if by "contamination" you mean the fear that too many workers in the food industry or transportation industry would become ill and no longer able to work. I have a close friend who works at the Frito-Lay facility in Frankfort, the 2nd largest facility Frito-Lay owns in the country. No layoff there. Normally this time of year is somewhat a slow period for them. Not so now, they can't keep up with demand for the products they make. I don't know, depends on the employer. I'm sure there is something in the newly passed "stimulus" bill (largest spending boondoggle in American history BTW, passed by an unrecorded voice vote) to address this, right? Don't know about you, but I'm ok with that notion. I'm sure there will be scientific rational applied behind such decision, don't you?

Will Pandemic Jobless Benefits Make Recovery Harder?: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/will-pandemic-jobless-benefits-make-recovery-harder/?itm_campaign=headline-testing-will-pandemic-jobless-benefits-make-recovery-harder&itm_medium=headline&itm_source=nationalreview&itm_content=This Provision Might Be Making the Unemployment Problem Worse&itm_term=This Provision Might Be Making the Unemployment Problem Worse Yep, you will see thousands if not ten of thousands of individuals quit their jobs so they can qualify for this sweet, sweet increase in their pay for four months, all courtesy of the federal government. And this they are hooked, and we have still another generation of Americans living off of the public dole.

Probably did it playing on field turf, where a higher percentage of knee injuries occur.

What is also infuriating is that this bill, if I am not mistaken the largest "stimulus" bill ever passed by the U.S. Congress, was passed with a voice vote. Hell, half of the lawmakers in that room probably hadn't even read the entire bill. Thomas Massie was right, a bill of this magnitude needed to be passed by a recorded vote. We live in an era where for an emergency situation like this those lawmakers who didn't want to get on a plane for fear of the coronavirus could have used, Skype, Zoom, MS Teams, etc. There are a myriad of technological tools out there where these lawmakers votes could have actually been recorded. But no, we are the U.S. Congress and in time of crisis expediency is all that matters. Bullshit. In times of crisis it is doubly important that bills like this are read, considered, debated, and understood. Because the consequences of their hurried passage can be felt well beyond the immediate crisis; sometimes for decades after. Just look at the bill that were passed following 9/11 and the 2008 banking crisis. No, this "stimulus" bill will be paid for by our children and grandchildren. We have effectively hamstrung their futures for our short term safety and a few bucks in the form of a check from Uncle Sam. I don't plan on cashing mine. Instead I'll frame it and pass it on to one of my grandchildren. They will need more than I do, assuming they can still cash it.

Meh, these 7 ultra quick athletes should just go and play soccer while the 4 lineman go play rugby. They would probably have more fun.

lol, pretending to take the high road after you've been down in the weeds with the rest of us is quite amusing. As for "precise execution and discipline", many sports require that. And many other football offenses.
