Why would you say that? If it was antibodies, there’s no reason tell them to quarantine.
Unless I’m missed something reading tiny print on my phone, it appears the positives are/were current at the time of testing.
I think the word “previous” threw you off. It wasn’t referring to some point in the past few months, it was referring to the tests a week ago.

It wasn’t the word “previous” it was the “active” term. But perhaps they’re regarding those post 10 day quarantine as “inactive.”
It says 28 have completed the 10 day quarantine. That’s why they are now inactive.
Shit spreads quick amongst these dudes. Student body isn’t even back.
Dabo probably loves this. They are going to have a full roster for the season.
I mean, the R0 has been studied for months now and it’s between 1-2. Would be interesting to do a case study in that group.
Maybe a dumb question but
Is that R0 based on a quarantining lifestyle or large gathering lifestyle?
It’s the universal R0 so I assume it’s predicated on social distancing. Again, it would be interesting to see if this was 5 guys who got 30 people sick over 4 weeks...or was this 5 guys who got 30 people sick in a week. The latter would not be good. There have also been numbers thrown out there of an R0 around 5, but that was later April...would also mean by now the whole population would be infected. Interesting times.
the stupidity of this post cant be overstated.
first, you may die if you get it
second, there is no confirmation you develop immunity once getting it and surviving.
third, this disease does all kinds of weird stuff once inside the body, people get permanent lung damage, brain damage, kidney failure, inflammatory syndromes.
So your saying that the protesters are part of the problem?

The protesters are in trouble then. Houston is spiking.

You seem to know a lot more about it than the rest of us, spill it
I hope that I’m wrong, but cannot see how they can have a football season. Let’s say that the two ‘Bama qb’s contract COVID two days before the LSU game. What does Vegas do? Do they play the game knowing that nearly every other player on the Tide team likely has it? In the event of a player death (fat boys, asthma, etc) there will be hell to pay. They’re going to keep my money, but really can’t see a season happening.
spill what, any information you want on this disease is readily available.
when someone post 'i dont know what the big deal is about getting this', their and anyone else that feels that way, that stupidity should be called out
protesters all across the nation will infect someone, there is no question about that. there is no immunity to this virus, if you exposed to a viral shedding individual, the current opinion is the infectious load is very low, maybe as little as 1000 viral particles you will get the disease...
a sneeze can contain 200 million viral particles
if you are in a crowd any where you are taking your life and the lives of others you love into murky waters
Aside from the obvious issues about a contagious virus, this has kind of been my main wonder about whether or not we have a season.
What’s the limit on positive players before a team just flat out can not play? If hypothetically an entire QB room or OL room test positive, what do these coaches do?
Do they forfeit the next 2 games? Which then removes 2 games off their opposition’s schedule as well, which then “shortens” the season over all?
Edit: Spell check
Fred says that UT is considering canceling their Football season.

If Texas cancels, expect others to follow suit.
Dude. There is zero evidence that college age kids are at risk of dying with this disease. In fact the direct opposite. The percentage of young, healthy college age kids dying from this virus is same as normal flu. It’s extremely, extremely low.
You claim all these scare tactics stuff but none of the data supports that. 99% of college age kids are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Sure there are rare examples. But guess what, there are rare examples for every disease and virus. This is not an at risk population for COVID.
I still wanna hear more about this brain damage
The entire Big XII, for starters.
There's no way they cancel their own season and not that of the league they own.

Should just move the old one back to the front and get it back on track.
No one is going to pull the trigger until absolutely have to. UT released this "statement" today.
https://protect.utexas.edu/athletics/
A unique part of UT is our unwavering Longhorn spirit. The university is developing policies and procedures for hosting football games and other athletics events this fall aligned with state, local and Big 12 Conference health and safety guidelines. Health and safety are our top priority, and all scenarios are currently being considered. UT expects to narrow the scenarios under consideration by the first week of August.
UA is riding this one out. They won't even discuss -- again -- face masks until July 15. Mizzou is moving a lot quicker, although I guess it doesn't matter at this point. A lot can change.
