Dardo 17 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Does anyone know the difference between quarantine and self isolation? Why would a player self isolate if they weren’t contact traced or positive tested. Edit: I’m a dumbass that can’t read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFA03_HUGENDFAN 242 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Well that didn’t take long from the time they cancelled practice. Predictable though. With a 10 or 14 days absence we are going to have a lot of rust come through 3rd even if they are allowed to play then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdnd81 2 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 This sucks !! Since literally zero college kids have been hospitalized I selfishly wish they didn’t have to test anyone. Obviously if they are sick they should be tested etc. but I would love to ask the players that tested positive if they even knew they had it. Oh well. I hope they recover.

AtLeastMySisWasIrish 0 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Welcome to College Football in 2020. Likely going to postpone until December since it's too soon to pass all the quarantine protocols to field a capable team by Oct. 3rd. Sucks but likely not the last disruption...GO IRISH!

Yes maybe at ND https://nypost.com/2020/09/08/college-football-player-dies-of-covid-19-complications/ This story was retracted already because his former high school and college were made aware that he had underlying conditions and was sidelined by the team long before his covid diagnosis for that reason.

jbrown_9999 1,023 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) Regardless, it’s minimal. Alcohol poisoning is infinitely more dangerous for college students Mitch Daniels, President of Purdue, recently mentioned that, based on numbers, there are three or four other causes that he worries more about than Covid in terms of potential student fatalities. He did not mention the other causes but another web site gave me: According to the study Causes of Mortality Among College Students, the three most common causes of death among college aged students, ages 18 -24, are accidents, including alcohol related injuries, suicide, and cancer.

Obv lower levels, not disputing that... just not 0 Sure, they've been hospitalized, but I think it's also fair to say that perfectly healthy players with no underlying issues don't make up any of those figures... If anything, this overarching requirement to test proves that many more people either have it or have had it with zero health complications as a result.

I hear ya, but if a kid keels over from myocarditis then it will be a big issue. I cant stand the infringement on our rights etc and am outwardly now a staunch conservative/right supporter but this is a novel virus which means there are lots of health externalities that we don't know about and it could be dangerous to let someone infected with an undiagnosed underlying condition.

Every year, about two college football players die as a result of participating in football. Most are from non-game S&C work-outs. When you work the numbers, I believe that there is around a 1 in 36,000 chance of dying from playing college football. To date, this has been deemed an acceptable risk by players, parents, and society given that college football is still played. Does Covid really present a greater risk than 1 in 36,000 of a player dying from it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
