Headline and first paragraph say two different things. So I quit reading because I don’t read [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ].

How so?

Tested positive for what? Have you not been reading this board? There is no threat to public health. The "virus" is a made up by the dumb liberals who care about racial equity.

A hoax put on by Nancy Pelosi and funded by George Soros and Bill Gates.

Just cancel all sports until the end of time.

 

[JockO de Frog]

huh....those numbers don't match the cdc's numbers for arizona

Of course not. The numbers are made up (skewed if you prefer) for political reasons.

If that will make people feel better then okay. How quickly do you expect to get test results?

Doesn't matter - the test result obviously backdates to the time of the test.

 

[froginmn]

Seems pretty straightforward to me. If you have a player test positive, you host a California prison party with your 22 starters and have them interact with the positive player. Before the season starts.

No one has said that.

So if the 2020 season happens, at the end A&M is going to an asterisks next to National Champs with the notations.

*Would have won NC, but due to Covid 19 we did not.

You gonna let them practice and hang out with all the other players while waiting on the test results? If not then I suppose the whole team is in isolation until every test result returns. If they test positive (backdated to the time of the test), are you going to quarantine all those in the unit in which they play OR are you going to wait and see who becomes symptomatic (if anyone)? So I test on Saturday at 6pm after an 11am game and then go out with some buddies or attend a study session in the library and contract the virus, I’m good to go until after the next game at 3:00pm on the road with return air travel?

It does matter....window dressing. But I’m all for it if it makes some people feel like they are doing something meaningful. What your idea is designed to do is to protect the football season and I’m okay with that. Let’s just not pretend that this does squat for population health.

From MarketWatch? Lol.

The testing(not antibody) is already being shipped out across the country. Results in 15 minutes. I haven’t seen final protocols, but testing will be administered often for anyone associated with athletic department. It will become routine for players and staff.

There’s been a 15m test out for quite awhile. Test away....test every day...test the Dr Pepper protocol at 10-2-4. Test symptomatics. Test every third asymptomatic.

I didn’t say it was a new test. You made the statement referring to how long it would take to get a result. I was simply telling you the answer.

EDIT: although I didn’t say it was a new test, it is actually a new test. Just started shipping this week.

Yeah that’s the entire point.

Jamming thousands of people into the petri dishes we call dorms and Greek houses with “precautions” is far more laughable than my idea for football players. It’s actually sort of funny to think about how worried we are about football players when you consider a dorm

 

[eh0215]

the mortality rate for college aged persons is exceedingly low. It's basically the flu for death rates of young peoole. Possibly even less dangerous, with fewer symptoms for most young folks. It really doesnt matter if they spread it amongst themselves.

The bigger issue is the older coaches with health issues. We may see several forced to coach from the press box this season. Also of concern are the elderly gentlemen giving hundred dollar handshakes after wins. They'll need to resort to venmo with an emoji.

winner

It's statistically improbable to get 20 votes for anything on this Board. Here goes.....

 

[FrogAbroad]

If more than two Longhorn athletes test positive for COVID-19 their next opponent will be required to forfeit the game, declaring UT the victor, 1-0.

 

[illini_frog]

I'm surprised that three UT football players passed any kind of test, frankly.

I'm glad posts like this still exist on this forum.
