COVID effect on regular season play

If the NFL/NCAA and/or the individual schools are going to mandate 14 day quarantines for anyone who test positive for covid and those who have been "in contact" with him, then they may as well not even play. Presumably, if one player tests positive, then he will have been "in contact" with every other player on the team. Thus, necessitating a quarantine period for the entire team. That sounds stupid and excessive, I know. But there hasn't been a lot of reason and logic exercised throughout this entire episode.

Rest assured, the media and "social media warriors" will be screaming on a daily basis that sports should be suspended until there is a cure, or at least a vaccine. Neither of which is a certainty to EVER be developed.

Presumably if one team member tests positive , he will have had contact with all the rest of the team and they will be all quarantined ,this comes from a poster not a official source . He says social media warriors AND media will be screaming for shut down till a cure . Does he realize this is social media and he is putting words in other people mouths so he can have a argument ,evidently he likes to argue !

I mean presumably you just test everyone again right?

So let’s say an LSU player tests positive on Tuesday. He immediately goes into self quarantine. Why quarantine everyone he’s been in contact with 7 days?

Just give everyone the test again. If they test negative they’re fine. The 7 day quarantine made sense when you couldn’t test everyone exposed

Also if they test positive they’re fine as a college football player. But that’s a separate discussion

Very true. One could argue its racist to not allow them to play. We will protest with 100,000+ in the stadium for 4 quarters.

LOL....By your reasoning to can forget football forever. A Vaccine may NEVER happen. And it's not even 50% full proof. This virus is mutating & getting weaker. Only isolated pockets remain

CFB will be played in September.

I'm sure some behind the scenes would like to cancel life altogether

I feel a lot of the top programs will find ways to not quarantine top players

, yet you hear ZERO outrage about thousands upon thousands of people gathering to protest around the world. Where were all the leaders and scientist stating that this is going to kill so many people

this is simply not true. you may be deaf but i have read and heard a number of references warning us of the effects of this regarding Covid. these protestors in the streets are mostly young people and many, if not most, of folks in that age group have not been concerned with covid for awhile now. hell, if i was that age and see that it doesn't seriously affect the vast majority of people my age i wouldn't concern myself much at all.

this disease is highly contagious and kills a lot of folks over age 50 (mostly over 60). I am over age 70 and want to live. sorry. don't misunderstand, i don't give a damn what you do, just don't come near me.

Well the fact the government already admitted they basically counting everything as wuhan as the main cause of death , wide spread fraud ,,cause you know the hospital gets a huge amount of money for wuhan deaths , so it’s estimated the death count is high by as much as 85% , plus WHO stated young people asymmetrical infecting rarely infects people and out door infections are rare at best

They've done comparisons of the total death of the US month by month for every cause and compared it to years past. The number of deaths this year over the average suggests that the death toll due to COVID-19 is actually significantly higher than what has been counted.
