Report: Denver Broncos star Von Miller tests positive for coronavirus
Not even the biggest stars in the NFL are immune from getting the coronavirus.
After Jay Glazer of FOX Sports teased “huge” NFL news for nearly 24 hours and finally revealed a backup lineman named Brian Allen had coronavirus, we have some actual big NFL news as Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is reporting that Von Miller has tested positive for coronavirus.
The good news is that Miller is in good spirits, according to the NFL insider.
Rapoport shared the news on Twitter: “NFL star and Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller has a confirmed case of COVID-19, his agent @jobybranion of @VanguardSG tells me. The #Broncos star is at home resting and in good spirits. He plans to speak publicly tomorrow.”
It’s still can’t be easy for the former all-time great Aggie to come down with the coronavirus during the middle of a quarantine but that’s where we all are at at the moment, unfortunately.
In middle of quarantine? Was he in some kind of quarantine and caught virus? Or are they talking something else like state mandated mitigation. I thought quarantine was isolation.
That depends…any attempts to venture out could be dangerous if anyone comes into contact with a contaminated surface or person.
“Middle of a quarantine” is not what the whole country is doing. It’s limited contact and social distancing. You still have asymptomatic people shopping and working. This thing is going to keep spreading regardless of what we do from here on out. Whatever number you see of people that have tested positive, you can probably multiply that by five and still be under the total.
In his ESPN interview, Von said he’s been isolating at home for 4 weeks. Only left home 3-4 times to get food, and stayed in the car. He’s been taking isolation seriously and still got it.
