As I posted a couple of weeks ago, the team captains should call a mandatory team meeting and invite a COVID-19 person to infect them all NOW and get it over with. They're all going to get it by the time Christmas rolls around anyway and virtually none of them will have any illness with it.Note that it said Alabama had five players test positive. It did not indicate any of them were sick. I think you were going to see this more and more. I have read multiple articles that the virus is getting weaker. You will still get people having it, and the susceptible are still at risk. However, the people who test positive will just be quarantined for two weeks and everyone else will go on as normal. That is my speculation only though.
It doesn't matter. They're all going to get exposed at some point. The sooner you build immunity in the student body population the sooner this thing will die out.It was either that article or another one I read where they basically said physicians are looking at these football players returning to campus to see what they can glean about the larger student body returning to campus.
It would be a damned shame to have these guys come to campus and act the fool and in the process doctors look at that data and advise Uni Presidents and the like that blowing that up to 30K-60K students on campus is going to look bad. That would set back NCAA FB real quick.

To my knowledge there are not plans to test asymptomatic students if/when fall classes resume.
A lot will be learned in the coming weeks on the backs of Memorial Day when people just said F it and now the protests.
Wife and I said this. Time for a chicken pox party. Good grief, this isn't Ebola. Many of them probably would have no symptoms or such mild ones they didn't think anything of it.As I posted a couple of weeks ago, the team captains should call a mandatory team meeting and invite a COVID-19 person to infect them all NOW and get it over with.

Alabama as usual is WAY ahead of almost everybody else. Saban is no fool. I would suspect that they didn't quarantine the 5 guys who tested positive. It will be a huge advantage if you have a team full of guys carrying antibodies and you don't have to worry about losing starters during the season.Wife and I said this. Time for a chicken pox party.

More than likely you might have 5 or 6 guys out of 100 that showed any symptoms at all.Wife and I said this. Time for a chicken pox party. Good grief, this isn't Ebola. Many of them probably would have no symptoms or such mild ones they didn't think anything of it.
Pretty sure Coach Frost could get tested, if he is concerned.does Scott Frost plan to visit his parents, meet with Moos, maybe draw up some Xs and Os face to face with TO?
Then there is always MIS-C to consider for those with very young kids.
I assume that will be enough to cancel the season.
There’s no doubt in my mind that some coaches and staff will take it lightly, cheat and false report, especially given the fact that COVID has been made into a political issue with inaccurate information circulating all over the place.Wait until things start happening where positive tests aren’t reported or falsified to keep asymptomatic players on the field or court.

Saban is immune. He's too mean and demanding for any virus to get to him.Man, what if Saban gets it, he's old.

Well not if you don't consider over 100K deaths to be much.Covid 19 HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS... after that, not much to it. It will shrivel and fade away.
When you analyze who has died from this, for a college and it's students this is virtually nothing. Almost ALL of the deaths are in the elderly and people with horrible pre-existing health. I'm not buying some of the stories about "healthy" young people dying. A Dr. I know well says, "they're not disclosing the underlying health problems of those people". This Dr. gets daily briefings from the CDC, cares for COVID-19 patients, teaches medical students, and presents at international meetings. Hell even many of the elderly with underlying health problems are surviving this thing.Well not if you don't consider over 100K deaths to be much.
Or talk to people via phone... whatever.Is he going to get tested every single day?
In general 5-14 day lag between infection and symptoms - some/many don’t develop symptoms but may transmit

Virtually the only person on our staff who would have some risk of very serious illness would be our QB coach. This virus poses virtually zero risk to our student athletes and healthy traditional students in general. In many ways, SoFLHusker was right. It's the flu....it's just that half of our population isn't vaccinated for this like they are for the flu.
If this version is true ... or if the NCAA, the schools and the medical staff believe this to be true there is no reason they would recommend asymptomatic testing.
testing all comers is going to lead to many pos tests which will lead to more testing of contacts which will lead to more pos tests , etc, etc.
Asymptomatic health care workers aren’t tested because the system would collapse if they all + are taken off line for 10-21 days - The same thing might happen in CFB

Agreed. Trying to roll this into jlb's question of what kind of testing are the NCAA schools going to do.
To this point no one know for sure and only Bowlesby has really come out with any kind of real projection.
However a good many sources indicate schools are looking to spend upwards of a half a million dollars this year in testing and you don't get that kind of cost estimate figuring out that only a handful of people on a 100 man roster will show symptoms and be tested. Even at $200 a test testing a couple dozen athletes when they get sick is chump change.
It would seem to me that most schools that plan to do testing are going to do mass testing of pretty much everything in the football program if they are publically throwing out those kind of numbers. I read an article where I think Baylor bought two machines to do testing on site.
So yes they will need some back bone

this version is most definitely true. They're often finding when they go in to workplaces and do mass testing that they'll have huge numbers of positive tests and nobody is sick. IMO, we may have really screwed the pooch by shutting things down for so long. IF we were smart we would be trying to ramp up antibody testing for exposure to the virus to see where we're at within a certain population such as mmmmmaybeeeee a football team?If this version is true ... or if the NCAA, the schools and the medical staff believe this to be true there is no reason they would recommend asymptomatic testing.

hey what ever happened to sweden?
safe to assume since there's no news everyone there died of covid-19 and everyone was right about the outcome or their experiment?
I think it's safe to say that Sweden has had more deaths and more hospitalizations this spring than it would have under a more strict shutdown. But long-term? I think the jury will be out on that for a while.hey what ever happened to sweden?

from that story (since you posted the headline, with no link and very likely without reading it):Sweden's lax COVID-19 response caused too many deaths, country's top epidemiologist says
from that story (since you posted the headline, with no link and very likely without reading it):
As of June 4, Sweden has reported more than 4,500 deaths associated with the virus, according to the Johns Hopkins virus dashboard, and about half of those deaths occurred among elderly people living in nursing homes, Reuters reported.
"We have to admit that when it comes to elderly care and the spread of infection, that has not worked," Prime Minister Stefan Löfven told Swedish newspaper The Aftonbladet Daily, according to Reuters. "Too many old people have died here."
the more you act like a sensationalist, the less credible you become
I'm sorry if this is callous, but posting total number of deaths is extremely misleading.
when more than 50% of deaths are occurring in nursing homes, that is a gigantic caveat and is beyond meaningful, statistically speaking.

Ive been tested twice both negative. After seeing all the options for school in the fall I feel the best option is business as usual
