COVID Testing and Players

[cr7707]

When a kid misses a game or because of Covid, don't automatically assume its because he has it. If a student tests positive anyone that sits within 6 foot of the student must quarentine for 2 weeks.

I might sound easy to set up a classroom and keep within the 6 foot rule. really its very difficult.

Its really hard to get it sitting at 5 or so feet while wearing a Biden Fear Mask, so when you hear a team loses 10 kids to covid it doesn't mean they have an outbreak and all tested positive. oh yeah the kid that tested positive gets to come back in a week.

if you want to save your season encourage anyone with out symptoms to not get a test. too many false positives any way.

tell me where I am wrong. Are saying this isn't fact? If you are, you are mistaken. you aren't just a useful idiot but also the village idiot.

Tell me where I am wrong. I will wait.

Different districts have different rules on who must quarantine. Just pointing that out. Some do it the way you say. Some don't call it a high-risk exposure (what starts quarantine for most) if the students were masked, even if they were closer than 6'. Some only quarantine positive cases.

Advocating that people DONT get tested is where you're wrong, buddy!!

go to the CDC website and fill out the questionnaire on if you should get tested. put in that you don't have symptoms and aren't sick. but have been in contact with a covid positive person. it tells you you don't need to be tested. you should quarantine yourself. Buddy

And you don't think the CDC is now facing government pressure to say that!? NICE TRY!!!

NOT testing asymptomatic folks is where its dangerous. If you're going to advocate that people DON'T get tested for a potentially fatal virus, it should be those already showing symptoms. Just quarantine them as a precaution. Its those asymptomatic spreaders who are potentially killing the at risk groups. BUDDY!

500,000 people a year die from cancer and nobody is upset about that at all. I would think we would have universal cancer screenings for cancer implemented if we were serious about saving lives

There is the problem. We have some teams that have to sit out several players for two games just because they sat 6 ft away from an infected kid a few days ago, and they're playing against a school that only sits out positives. There needs to be some consistency in order to level the playing field .

I mean we do have universal cancer screenings, if you don't know about them wait till you turn 45 and your doc will have a surprise for you

I disagree. I think at a local level, you should be able to decide for yourself. In the midst of this, a level playing field is down the list of concerns.

Why? A level playing field means in all essence we are being consistent. I truly believe that if a coach plays a player who tests positive they should be immediately suspended. After all you have to show signs of covid to get tested in the first place. That would clean up a lot.

People of all ages come down with cancer I think??? And I passed 45 decades ago!!

The problem with having no standards is one school has to sit 6 starters out for 2 games (none of whom are even sick) just because they sat 6 ft away from an infected kid 3 days ago while wearing a mask, and that school is playing another that just says eff it, we're only sitting out actual infections but not contacts. Then you end up with the school with 6 starters out essentially playing their JV against a school with nobody out. They need to do it one way or the other and be consistent.

I get what you're saying...And I understand the viewpoint. I just disagree. I think if one district wants to be conservative in view of the virus, and not hamper their own competitive advantage...they should be able to. If another district is less comfortable and wants to quarantine based on contact, that's their decision. But in doing so, they put themselves at a competitive disadvantage. I love the free marketplace. And I'm not much for bureaucracies and regulations. In the end, the district leaders making those decisions have to do what is best for their students and athletes.

Because I think the issue at regulating who can play and who doesn't runs much deeper than a level playing field. If you want a regulation, the regulation should be if you test positive you can't play (which seems pretty basic). That's really no regulation. And it allows districts that want to play it safe, to do just that. It's sort of like the MSHSAA rule on grades. You must be passing 5 classes. I've worked in districts before that had no pass/no play. I hated it, but that was their choice. And, when followed, put themselves at a serious competitive disadvantage. But that's not on MSHSAA. That's on the district.

Brown University (Providence, RI and not exactly a conservative bastion) epidemiologist, Andrew Bostom tweeted that he had tallied 26,000 students testing positive for COVID-19 based on reported figures from 29 universities, all but three public, stretching east from AZ. Total reported hospitalizations from those infections, the magnanimous sum of.............0..............
It was also pointed out that PCR tests are notoriously prone to produce false positives, given that they catch even inactive viral fragments. No definitive way of knowing how many of the 26,000 students were actually false positives. Draw your own conclusions.

Strange how you never hear mainstream media tell half of that story, huh?

That’s the awful side of this thing. Always, always sad to hear of a loved person losing their life.

They didn’t bother to say what the underlying condition was he actually died of, like most cases the Covid just pushed him over the edge.

Like the 34 year old teacher in Mo who died. She had chronic acute Asthma, her lungs were already in bad shape and the Covid was the thing that pushed her system passed what it could deal with.

People with underlying health conditions should take every precaution to shield themselves from exposure, but I don’t think stopping 17 year old kids from playing football is going to save a single life

The two things I’ll never understand with this whole “pandemic”. The first...What is the motive of mainstream media to only tell the horrors of this? The second...Why are the sick and vulnerable not the ones who are advised to stay home? It’s baffling. You don’t quarantine the healthy. Especially with a virus that doesn’t affect the healthy.

It goes both ways my man. People need to wear a mask to protect those with underlying conditions.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Except the 17 year olds teacher or dad or uncle or custodian, who isn’t even aware they have an underlying condition.

Yep, shut er all down for that fraction of a percentage of the population. Keep kids out of schools. Shut down all activities. Close businesses. For conjecture. Do you have any evidence of this type of a situation? Like even one case? Just curious. If you showed me 10 it still wouldn’t change my mind. But I’m just curious if they exist. Have to think with the way mainstream media has covered all of this, lord knows we’d have heard about it by now.

I thank God that none of the hillbilly brigade posters on here are the ones making the important decisions to protect our teachers and staff (and their families) and our students.

 

[BoosterBosko]

If you are gonna claim to be the smartest guy in the room you should be careful to not prove otherwise.
It does not imply that 10% of people with covid have a temperature! It implies that 10% of people with a fever have covid. A much larger percentage of people who have tested positive have a fever than 10%.

Easy there buddy! I've never once claimed to be smart!

But "That implies 10% of people who have COVID DO have an elevated temperature" only to say "It implies that 10% of people with a fever have covid." Is that not the same thing!?!?

And I get that more than 10% of people with COVID have had a fever. I was replying to that other bozo's post, saying that potentially catching 10% of COVID positive people wasn't worth it. NICE TRY!

Agreed. But most of the rural schools in the state are unfortunately ran by school board members that are by and large members of the hillbilly brigade also.

Well, i'm 60 and have never had a cancer screening except for when I bought life insurance as a younger (much younger) man. I have never had a Dr suggest I needed screened for cancer but have seen many different Drs over the years.

There's a certain exam men are supposed to get at 45 or 50 that is a screener for cancer if you don't know what i'm talking about, I hear the Mox is giving them for free
