'I think it was the chills – at this time of the year that signaled to him that this wasn’t going to be a normal flu,' says Sean Payton of being diagnosed by a doctor
Payton started feeling sick and consulted a doctor, who ultimately had him get tested.
“I think it was the chills — at this time of the year — that signaled to him that this wasn’t going to be a normal flu,” explained Payton. Payton continued of his symptoms, “By the time Thursday came, my pattern was still getting tired, still getting fatigued … wanting to lay down and take a nap after about 20 minutes working in the house.”, becoming the first known person in the NFL to contract the disease.During his interview Monday, Payton also addressed those not taking the government’s recommendations — and, in some states, orders — to social distance seriously.
“We all have someone we know very closely — elderly people close to us — the idea that you can be invincible when you’re younger,” Payton said. “First of all, there are younger people dying from this virus and second of all the idea that you could transmit this to someone that isn’t healthy enough to withstand it … so I think the minute someone starts thinking close to home — there is too much science, too much data for us to be ignoring that and I think you get frustrated when you see that.
