Baseball on the brink: 14 Miami Marlins players and coaches test positive for COVID-19; Update: Season “in jeopardy”; Update: Emergency meeting

Gonna quote myself, writing on June 22 amid a wave of reports of pro and college athletes contracting COVID during preseason training: “I fear we’re headed for a future in which the various leagues press on towards resuming play despite the many warning signs, determined to do their best to give Americans something to cheer, and then there’s an outbreak on a team like four games in and the whole season is immediately called off.”

I believe multiple coronavirus strains can make one test positive.

Too bad for the BLM Red Soxs and their fans?

Too bad, I wish they rocked through their season in utter dismay in how much they are killed their golden egg by following the piped piper down the BLM road. Now they will seek sympathy and there are some dodos who will give it to them if the season is over.

Screw em

it takes 20 seconds after someone in the NFL does something for everybody here to want it shut down. I know there are Old-Timers here and they prefer baseball but tough luck. Shut it down.

Look up BLM and baseball and see how tight they are

Good. The more corporate global allegiance sports that cancel, the better. Corporate sporting industry needs to die.

It’s reportedly being fumigated “50 different ways,” but how’d you like to be a New York player or coach walking into that petri dish with assurances that “We, uh, think we killed all of it”?

I'm getting tired of this germophobia crap. Has the author never handled a dollar bill or used a public restaurant in his life?

Thirty-five years ago, I would have cared. Today, not a bit.

Like me? I don’t want it back, EVER after this fiasco. Fool me once with that phony strike, shame on you, fool me twice with this fake BLM kneeling, shame on me if I come back.

They should bring them up from the minors.

It’s not that the tests are “false positive”, it’s that they are being misused.

It’s a test for a piece of viral RNA (a gene, actually). How useful it is depends on how long after exposure pieces of RNA hang around.

Remember, DNA can be recovered from Egyptian mummies and frozen mastodons.

The most important group for understanding the COVID pandemic is these asymptomatic people. The bad news is that a fraction of them are “Presymptomatic” and are shedding infectious virus like crazy, while most of them are exposed/not infectious, either “recovered” or in some as-yet-not understood state.

probably got tested at one of those places where 100% of the people tested test positive.

Talked to many nurses who say there are so many false positive cases being reported. Makes me think the test kits are useless. Maybe on purpose...

It's worse than you know. They keep going back to the same labs and when asked why they won't drop the clearly failing labs and switch to accurate ones, they'll respond that they're desperate because they can't find many that will do the tests.

Not finding many to do the tests points toward lawyers telling honest labs to stay away from this fraud.
