Four MSU players test positive for COVID-19

See you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm fully on board with opening whatever, whenever, but I just don't see the ncaa putting themselves out there for criticism if it gets bad

You couldn't blame the NCAA if you put yourself at risk. The games must go on.

[Todd4State]

And people are still our. Add protests to that and more places opening... I think cases will continue to rise. If we want college football, we better hope cases start dropping by mid-July

To me if the cases go up and people are asymptomatic that's more reason to open up because it means the virus has weakened.

Exactly. Put a disclaimer on the tickets saying the buyer assumes all risk and the NCAA is covered.

^^^^The virus appears to be either getting weaker or we are testing more people....

I am by no means medically qualified in any area, but it seems to me that one of two things have happened. Either there are a whole lot of people who are asymptomatic carriers or there have been a lot of false tests. Thoughts?

I'm of the belief that it is false tests.

Abbott Labs (the one the President touts) test has shown to have a false negative rate of 48% - which is HORRENDOUS!!!!

We were so unprepared for this event that we rushed testing and it hasn't been good. In light of that, you can also count me out for any vaccine that hits the market any time soon. I'll let the herd go through and see what the side effects are before I sign up.

Good article on this topic. It covers both the optimistic and pessimistic view regarding mutations of the virus. At the end, it also speaks to the resurgence of SARS in Toronto and how they saw a second wave.

could it be because more people are getting tested?

Yes.

Well ... I'd like to believe this but I kinda think it ain't all cause of that.

Oh Sh*t, where do I get that SARS vaccine? What, we don?t have one? How long has SARS been around?
News Flash,.,, there is not going to be a Vaccine for Covid for years/decades...

It's not all because of more tests but a large chunk is. I know here in Jones county our numbers are up but they've also tested 4 times as many people in the last 2 weeks than they did the previous month.

My pregnant wife was in the hospital alone for 4 days with this and we absolutely went nowhere. I run a business that doesn't cause a need for contact with others and her job is the same. And she still got it. And she was already a germaphobe.

We just need to go back to living life and let people make their own decisions - no reason not to play football and put people in the stands at their own risk.

Amen! Life is uncertain..... get busy living or get busy dying.

I agree. Making up doomsday scenarios which have no merit are pointless and just scare people unnecessarily. Deal with whatever happens in the moment and don't worry about what "might" happen.

Love that movie! I agree!

Why can people understand more test more positive cases. A lot are asymptotic and some are positive for antibodies

Yep.

I'm not sure where you'd find the data at, but we need positive % charted by date. I can get the total at https://covidtracking.com/data . Right now we have 19,091 positives with 214.493 total tests, which is 8.9% positive rate. It would be nice if someone had that number charted for the last month.

8.9 of the 20K positive but we got 3MM in state and 6k have recovered. And only 250K have been tested. overreaction much???

Jeez... I'm all for opening the stadiums up, but I'm also wise enough to see it's very unlikely if things don't improve. Hell, how many concerts and conventions are on as scheduled the rest of 2020? Whatever though

It's not infected Numbers its deaths <70 and ICU. We aren't bad icu hospitalizations esp <70.

Yep on of my favorite movies. Hard to believe it didn't win an Academy award?
