They likely tested you for antibodies as well and you would definitely be hearing from them if you were positive for protective antibodies. They would want to drain you dry of plasma.
Fall Sports unlikely imo

I agree somewhat about your testing opinion but it's pretty clear that more symptomatic 20-40 year olds are showing up. Is that because we're just doing more tests and more are getting tested now when they get symptoms? I don't know. . I can't agree with your statements that we are out of a pandemic status and moving out of an epidemic status. That's just not true. If you google the definitions of those words we're pretty clearly still experiencing a pandemic and will be until the number of new cases falls back to the pre-outbreak baseline level worldwide.
regionsdoc works for a hospital in Minneapolis. He posted somewhere in a recent thread that they didn't see a rise in cases after the protests there. One would think if thousands of mostly young people can march, scream and spit on cops night after night without any rise in cases, surely we could have football with fans in the stand this fall.
Theyre both true, more testing and more young people.
Yes, more symptomatic 20-40 year olds are showing up, but the death rate continues to go down and don’t forget the number of people without symptoms who get checked simply because they were in contact with someone positive.
As for the “just not true” statement about moving out of epidemic status...

Pandemic is still there but that is a statement from March. Not really any updates.

Well now how the heck are billionaire Chinese families supposed to get their daughters into Stanford without bribing their way through women's sailing?

Doesn't Stanford have a 20+ billion dollar endowment? I have zero knowledge of how that pile of cash is distributed. Can it be used to subsidize athletics or is it specifically an education stash?
By definition an epidemic is: a widespread disease outbreak above baseline normal occurence. A pandemic is a widespread worldwide outbreak of a disease above the normal baseline occurrence. Yes IMO, based on the decrease in fatalities I believe that we're going to continue on the downward slope of the curve, but it's going to take months at the very least for this epidemic to be over. I guess technically we are heading "out of the epidemic" since we're on the back side of the curve so I'll give you that. For it to be totally over we almost have to get to zero new cases or to some new low level endemic state which goes on for years.
What's ironic about that is that there are all kinds of high schoolers participating in baseball, basketball summer leagues and tournaments etc. There's also college summer baseball leagues going on. I won't even mention all of the social interaction that's happening in that age group. It's a matter of the nanny state trying to protect young people from something they probably don't need protection from. I think 5 years from now we're going to look back on this and think shutting down schools and their sports was a really stupid thing to do. JMHO.
the number one ranked baseball team in Iowa season has been cancelled along with a number of others due to + test. It is going to be difficult to proceed until there is more known about the risk of transmission of an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic + test - a lot of unknowns

Ultimately that's a post supporting the B1Gs announcement that we're losing the non con in the names of safety and ... Hopefully being flexible enough to save the conference season. A social media version of clapping for the bosses idea.
Pac12 and acc seem likely to follow suit. A few sources on social media saying SEC is feeling pressure to follow suit with this early decision.
Now that the B1G has cut out outside money they are in an easier position to curtail or drop the fall season on a whim.
I hope it doesn't to that.
As I've said multiple times, the test and quarantine model for high school and college sports IMO will mean NO sports this fall. Even though the risk is ridiculously low for that age group, they won't be able to proceed. Kids and parents participating in summer leagues aren't using that model. IMO, this poses no more and maybe less risk to those 15 to 25 year olds than influenza but we don't test and quarantine for that. JMO. I'm getting more and more reports of people in their 50s who are either asymptomatic or are having very short bouts of fever.
I agree ... I assume (don’t know for sure) that these Iowa schools aren’t doing routine testing however - so presumably someone exhibited enough symptoms to warrant a test which came back +
no one is comfortable sticking their necks out to say a + test in an asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic person is no big deal from a public health standpoint - including college and pro sports where there are billions of dollars involved
My prediction from a long time ago. As I said, AD's don't have the stomach to deal with the crazy left wing media. Sad state of affairs in America.
