NEW ORLEANS, La. (WVUE) At least 30 Louisiana State University players are quarantining after testing positive for COVID-19 or having contact with those who tested positive, according to a report by Sports Illustrated.
The team has 115 players in total.
No LSU athlete or staff member has been hospitalized.
Very few players have experienced effects beyond mild symptoms, according to Ross Dellenger with Sports Illustrated.
I’ll bet most are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms. Not that that seems to matter to Fearpers.
So, the ACTUAL number of infected players may be as low as one. But, we know it's fewer than 30.
I have a hunch they will all be fine.
“
Ill bet most are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.”
From your excerpt!
Very few players have experienced effects beyond mild symptoms,
Statement actually allows for zero testing positive.
These LSU players can continue not going to class - just like normal!
Good point.
Do people with asymptomatic cases only transmit asymptomatic cases?
We shut down an economy over a fairy innocuous virs.
But don’t tell dannytx, rummychick, bram and others I said that :)
I mean what’s the mortality rate for folks under 60? Approaching zero?
Turned out to have the same rate of death as the flu after all.
And only cost us 5 trillion and 20 million lost jobs :)
UT Austin and TSU in Texas had players test positive last week.
This whole thing is just a giant scam designed to keep the economy shut down.
Guess nobody gonna be STTDB! for awhile.
Unless they’re dying, who cares?
Note how the headline is a lie. It could be as little as one player positive.
Even then, who cares?
This could get interesting if this kind of thing happens mid-season. Could easily derail a championship run for a team if key players or a large number are in quarantine for two games. Once practice really starts, won’t all players essentially be in contact with each other? If one tests positive, does the whole team quarantine for two weeks?
They all indulged with the same hooker?
Whew, dodged a bullet!
Relieved they did not contract Mono
Name ‘em ping ‘em, FRiend.
