Baltimore—The Yankees’ COVID outbreak spread to a ninth member of their organization. Aaron Boone said Sunday they got news a “staff member” tested positive, which they learned Saturday night. According to Boone, the new positive is not part of the on-field coaching staff and the team didn’t name the person, as it did with pitching coach Matt Blake, first base coach Reggie Willits and third base coach Phil Nevin.(Snip) The staff member that tested positive Saturday is quarantining in Baltimore and, like the previous eight, is fully vaccinated. The other positive cases remain in quarantine in Tampa.

Comments:

The clown car takes another lap; now it's nine people out of a small sample, enough to take the field. Imagine, an experimental vaccine that does not prevent you from catching the target disease, which itself is so insidious that people can have it and not know it, and sensitivity of the tests can be altered to produce results depending on the desired outcome. And even if you're vaccinated, the unvaccinated pose a threat. Trust the science and take the jab.

Martin's piece doesn't say which shots they received. Obviously, they were sold a bill of goods.

How soon after receiving the vaccine did this person get tested? Did they only get the first dose, or the second? Also, why are they testing people who have received the vaccine? Positive Covid tests have been had right after getting the second shot. Besides, this makes as much sense as requiring people to wear a mask after getting both shots of the vaccine. It seems MLB isn't following any basic rules that even approach the CDC's advice. These are mainly young extremely healthy people MLB is testing. Do any of these people show any sign of illness?

The first 7 fully vaccinated Yankees to test positive, which presumably was done under properly trained medical supervision because a lot of money is at stake in this particular work environment, took the J&J experimental therapy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9575491/New-York-Yankees-seven-cases-COVID-19-FULLY-VACCINATED-coaches.html

If you can still get Covid after the shot, why bother at all? This vaccine has nothing to do with the virus. There is something insidious going on!

I'd still like to know how many people tested positive but never showed any symptoms. Undoubtedly millions of people were ''infected'' but were never ill.

The players always have a problem. More things to whine about. The days the Packers played in the cold snow in 1963 are gone. Now we have nothing but whining millionaires that hate the country, and resent it. I don't watch sports any longer, because I don't like anyone associated with it. An unabearable, unappreciative lot that do not count their blessings.

How many have died? Many people catch the wuflu after getting the poison needle of death. Not to worry because you just got a lethal injection and you will be dead in less than 10 years or seriously ill and wish you were dead. If you took the jab you just got punked. If you were afraid before and got the poke so you wouldn’t be afraid anymore, you just got scammed. Note you are more afraid than ever. The government psyops is working. You are walking dead proof.

How accurate are the tests? If you test positive but aren't sick, is the test any good? If you aren't sick, can you transmit the flue?

Why can't they report on the symptoms of the person that tested positive. Did they have a fever, did they have the chills or have body aches and pains. Besides being positive what was their damn problem. Many of these positive tests are false positives. Sick and tired of hearing this bullsh**. You either have it or you don't have it, you're either sick or you're not sick. Got it.

Last week, Hailey Davidson, a transgender woman, won her first professional title in Florida, topping LPGA player Perrine Delacour for the win. The same day, she was sent an email by the USGA saying she’s met the organization’s Gender Policy eligibility criteria and can now compete in its championships and she’s hoping to hear similar news from the LPGA via a reciprocity agreement, according to Golfweek.

One of the victims of a horrific subway stabbing spree lost his eye in the attack—and the teenage suspects staged the early-morning rampage as part of a gang initiation, prosecutors said Sunday. The gruesome details emerged in weekend court appearances for two of the three teens arrested in the Friday attacks, which left five victims bloodied and battered in lower Manhattan. Taquarious Soto-Burgos, 19; Joseph Foster, 18, and a 16-year-old boy were charged with robbery and weapons possession in connection with the predawn violence. A fourth suspect remained at large.

A 4-year-old boy found dead in a Dallas street was kidnapped while he slept, his distraught mother said. The boy, who suffered multiple wounds from what police say was an “edged weapon,” was identified Sunday by his mother as Cash Gernon, WFAA reported. The “happy-go-lucky” boy was sleeping when a suspect, identified by cops as 18-year-old Darriynn Brown, barged into his home through a back door and kidnapped him on Saturday, his mother said. The boy’s grieving mom said he had no idea what allegedly led Brown to target her son, whose body was later discovered in the street

The commission formed to observe the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre has announced that it has booted Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt from his seat on the panel a week after he signed a bill outlawing the teaching of some race and racism concepts in public schools. A statement from the commission did not indicate the reason for the parting, and a spokeswoman said the commission had no further comment. However, commission project manager Phil Armstrong sharply criticized the Republican governor for signing a bill into law that prohibits the teaching of so-called critical race theory in Oklahoma schools.

Police in Northern California have arrested three social activists on charges that they vandalized the former home of a police expert witness after he testified on behalf of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin during his murder trial in the death of George Floyd.

IDF spokesman Lt. Col.

In a statement, the IDF said Harbeed “was behind several anti-tank missile terror attacks against Israeli civilians.”
