I know some people might want to worry because an NFL coach has tested positive, but it’s really not a big deal at all.
As we know, being vaccinated doesn’t guarantee you that you never get COVID-19. It’s meant to substantially help with symptoms.

Anyone who thought we were going to have a completely smooth season was just kidding themselves. That was never going to happen.
Yes, we’re having a much better season than last year, but there’s still going to be some bumps along the way.
After a series of recent positive COVID tests, the #Bears are now in enhanced mitigation protocols, per source. Among other things, that means mandatory mask-wearing and daily testing for all players and staff, regardless of vaccination status.

There’s no need to panic at all. Let’s just hope Nagy bounces back quickly and is back on the sidelines ASAP!
