Hey Natty, I know in Huntington we have had two kids in the first week week that we know tested positive and they have quarantined not quite 100 kids in the first week. With that, we had a bunch of kids get opted out. Ours were 4th graders are Roanoke and Horace Mann. We had other incidents where kids are quarantining until test results not associated with positive tests yet.

I don’t disagree with this angle. Would love to hear why the medical personnel voted this way. But telling your 18-22 to do something is what I responded to. I don’t know how much luck you have had with it, but it just doesn’t happen for me.

Is his son not an adult? I think this is the wrong decision, but I don’t see how he forces his son to do anything. Let alone will I judge him for that.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29653050/nebraska-ends-talk-playing-big-ten Well so much for puffing their chests out. Can’t wait to see something similar for Kansas when it comes to their lawsuit threats against the NCAA.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/big-ten-commissioner-kevin-warren-lashes-out-at-nebraska-after-critical-statements-023133028.html Well Nebraska isn’t playing anywhere in the fall.

Can they do that if they don’t provide the same bubble for women’s sports too? I just don’t see them putting that level of money into this with how much they are losing out on.

Well I am guessing if they start going by calendar year that’s going to mean no basketball before January. ****!

It’s sucks, but can’t say I am surprised. I am just disappointed that it is ok for 40,000 people to be on campus, but not ok for 150 or so people with players and staff in a semi controlled environment.

I will give him this. If he really gave his kid that at this level he has balls. Those Russian winters and vodka really harden them I guess.

I don’t disagree at all. But you would think with 40,000 people on campus it would be easier to find a liability issue than on the football field. I know the heart issue is what is creating pause, but if a football player is getting it now he is definitely getting it when constantly grouped with that large of student body. Guessing most football players aren’t taking many classes in the fall. In their spare time with no season, I am sure they would just hang out. I know I would at that age. To me it’s riskier to not have a season.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nick-saban-the-argument-should-be-we-shouldnt-be-having-school-not-we-shouldnt-be-playing-football-213436999.html Agree with Saban here. This is getting out of hand at some levels.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29633697/heart-condition-linked-covid-19-fuels-power-5-concern-season-viability So it’s the liability with the heart issues associated with Covid. Which we had a mom on Facebook speaking about this. I can see both sides of this, but if this is the concern I think they are more likely to catch it being out and about in a non structured schedule imo. But I get it. Every football team has over 100 in staff and players. Probably the toughest sport to work in this environment. We will see either way. It either puts me out of my misery of thinking we could finally win a bowl game 4 months early or I get football on Saturdays.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29634231/scott-frost-says-nebraska-prepared-look-all-options-including-playing-big-ten Man we need popcorn for all of the twists and turns in this one.

Starting to wonder if they had an informal polling to see where everyone stood on the Sunday call. With all of the contracts I think they would have to be somewhat careful on unilateral decisions. I don’t believe the networks would do this since football makes so much money, but I would have to think at some point there would be contract disputes with no season.

That’s pretty fair and I actually agree with you. I am positive it’s far more than can we protect our kids better this way or that way. I am sure it came down to 1. Money Associated with the virus versus what they will truly bring in. 2. PR 3. Liability if someone were to die 4. Overall safety. Probably in that order. I know players have been told there will be consequences to attending risky situations to this point. But much like mask wearing it is just a mandate. Since they can’t control more than what they can, let’s just hope we have basketball. On the flip side if they moved this to the spring I hope we can hang with a 40 man OSU roster.

You bring up a solid unintended point here. I wonder how much of this is related to the costs of testing and all of these safety procedures versus how much money they are losing. Some schools of course will be fine, but a lot I am sure are struggling with the additional costs associated with Covid. Wonder if that played a larger role in this than just Covid itself.

Sounds like the PAC-12 will cancel as well tomorrow. I know the hope is they will play in the spring. I just don’t see a ton of the top players playing at all this year if that’s the case. With all of the pre draft stuff that players go through I see a ton of players sitting out.

Really wish people would quit calling it the “China Virus”. Man our society.

Cubs and Cards game tonight has been postponed.

If you have a direct quote from Kary Mullis saying what you said he said please cite it. Since there are many it shouldn’t be a problem at all. What you said in your second and third paragraph I will just say cool. I hope it wasn’t for me. I was only “fact checking” a medical device/technology statement I am very knowledgeable in.

That’s fair. I will say with 100% certainty outside of radiography the medical diagnosis on viruses is pretty strong. I would actually be surprised as of all of the tests taken today If less than 95% were wrong. Not necessarily in March or April. Unfortunately it’s the best way to strip DNA to pull the data we need. Now if you apply in the human element of doing this test with the shear amount all at once, I am sure the margin of error is larger. But the test can’t do anything about the lack of manpower for this amount of tests and how they are transported. The test itself I am very confident in.

Knowing what you know I would think you would put the test at a bare minimum success at 95%. That’s probably low but not too far out of range of every other test out there. I lost track of the exact number but let’s say out of 4,000,000 positives there are 200,000 false positives. Viral testing is pretty tight. Now since overweight and diabetes is a popular subject in the various threads since someone can see someone is overweight. Does everyone trust a glucometer without these levels of questions? The American Diabetes Association is fighting constantly to bring every manufacturer within 15% margin for error. So a normal test for a person without diabetes ranges from 80-120. Some even tighten that up. You are coded as pre diabetic anything over 120. If you really run 110 you are considered a diabetic with a good possibility of not being accurate. For the rest of your life you are a diabetic. I have never seen anyone question that because they can see overweight people and just assume it’s true since more times than not the one has a direct relationship to the other. There is far more spent on healthcare for diabetes than Covid and it’s been around a lot longer. Why are we all so skeptical of this test versus others that effect day to day life a lot more? This is what I don’t get.
