I'm watching ESPN, and they're reporting that New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton has tested positive for the Coronavirus.  Don't know all the details, but hopefully, Adam Schefter will have more details.

Saints' Sean Payton says he tested positive for coronavirus

If he had no fever and no cough, why did he test for this virus?  Because he didn't feel well?  Here in NY, getting tested is apparently very difficult to do at the moment, even with some symptoms.  Something's wrong here..

He's rich.

He's rich. 

I get it and I understand the world we live in.  But the dude had none of the main initial symptoms.  strange

Yea something is disturbingly wrong.  At one point the state of Oklahoma used half their supply to test the Thunder.

Saw this tweet the other day that made me laugh:

If you're going to the hospital for a covid-19 test make sure you bring with you a valid form of identification along with a printout of your IMDB page and/or your Basketball Reference stats

I wouldn’t wish the virus on anyone, no matter how big of a ##### bag they are.

They obviously had some reason for giving him the test. It wasn’t simply because he was rich.....although, I’m sure it didn’t hurt.

You mad bro?

health care providers are given a priority here. Maybe he moonlights as a CNA

VIPs go to the head of the line for coronavirus tests

One notable excerpt from that article:

On the same day that Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert fell ill in Oklahoma and was tested for the coronavirus this month, a female paramedic lay in a Tulsa hospital bed a little more than a hundred miles away, unable to obtain a test.

And this is why the numbers are absolutely meaningless. There are far too many sportsmen, politicians and celebrities with access to tests that the general public don’t have, that are testing positive for it to tally with overall numbers. The reality is hundreds of thousands of people already have it or have had it and merely self isolating and recovering on their own. They won’t be part of the statistics ever unless they get the antibody test down the road

The NFL did suspend him for a year once, maybe they wanted someone to say they tested positive so they could help get the country to take the threat more seriously...

Nah, that's the kind of conspiracy stuff that would never happen in the transparent NFL under the great leadership of Roger Goodell. 

And yeah I'm mad

Not sure what to make of the testing, but  if and when people start cutting in line for the vaccine, that's when all hell will break loose
