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.
These LSU players can continue not going to class - just like normal!
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.
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?
Whew, dodged a bullet!
Relieved they did not contract Mono
And, what do you bet they all gave mom and dad a big hug and a kiss this weekend?
Wouldn’t it be great if it went back to football being a sport for healthy young men whose original purpose is getting a great education? They would still have enthusiastic crowds, it would be as much fun to watch.
The team has 115 players in total.
No LSU athlete or staff member has been hospitalized.
And NOT one of those players infected will DIE!
I've asked no less than 30 people I've crossed paths with.. "Do you know anyone who has contracted the virus?.. Answer was NO!
"Do you know anyone who DIED from it?... Answer Oh, heck NO!
My point: The way the MSM always presents the virus you would expect to see people dropping to the street, or to the floor in Walmart or Macy's from this killer virus.
I read this morning that somewhere between 25 & 30% of corona deaths have been in nursing homes involving elderly residents with underlying conditions.
Another 40 to 45% simply had underlying health conditions such as COPD, Asthma, bronchitis, Diabetes, etc
Those with a 2nd rate or weakened IMMUNE SYSTEM were prime targets of the virus. Most healthy people ward it off much like a case of the flu.
“I wonder how many of these players were marching in the streets last week? “
Yes. That would be the relevant question. Actually they might not have marched and just be friends with people that did. It is highly contagious so that will spread it as well.
If they just left them play for another day or two, the entire team could be infected, get better, and not have to worry about this any more.
That must have been one wild party
Little bit of a misleading headline. The ‘or had contact with’ is kind of important.
