Practices cancelled because of Covid

[vbdad]

We had a positive and as of now they won't let us practice for two weeks. The guys can't even go to the gym and shoot.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Ugh. I will be surprised if this doesn’t happen to most teams but definitely not the news you want to hear as they need to be ramping up for the season.

 

[vbdad]

We have a bunch of guys who are still developing and need the practice time.

Vbdad had this story over a week ago ..

I'm in full support of the utmost Covid cautiousness, but it is surprising that the confirmed negative players can't even work out with coaches individually.

The season starts in 12 days...

EDIT: I was wrong.. Per Ryan Aber, "The Sooners moved to individualized workouts this week but avoided a complete shutdown."

Agreed. To me, some of this contact tracing protocol is simply dumb. If you test negative, you should at least be able to shoot in the gym!

again - testing is not 100% correct. it may be a false negative due to lack of viral load and you may be asymptomatic. thus you could be infecting others.

would be better for the entire team to just get it now and be good for the season ..

Not trying to start a Covid thread, but you can get infected again. They wouldn't be good for the season.

not to mention mental fog that lasts for month in some, breathing problems, kidney problems, heart issues or a myriad of the other potential side-effects not to mention a chance of death. This isn't chicken pox.

How many instances of that has occurred. I remember hearing about an individual in Nevada.

Not going to start a Covid thread, you can look that up on your own.

That's fine and all but reinfection is extremely rare at this point. The first reported case was on October 12th. There are far more relevant aspects of how the virus is to be treated and approached which weigh more heavily. And on a side note i miss you. Have a healthy and prosperous day.

I just read the NCAA is working on a plan to host the tourney in Indianapolis this year. Technically not a bubble, but teams who advance will have to stay in the same hotel, etc in Indianapolis during the entire tournament. That means some could be there for a month.

I am glad they’re going to have the tourney, but I just get a chuckle that the “student” athlete mantra is used by the ncaa all the time until they start losing money. Then, they forget about the student part. I know, distance learning, blah blah blah.

We are getting 2 vaccines for Covid, both with reported >90% effective. I hope that’s true cuz they can’t get here fast enough.

I know someone personally who has gotten it twice, but was asymptomatic the second time. That said, with testing as inaccurate as it is, who knows....

Most likely was a false positve the second time.

I'm not in the this is stupid camp....nor am I in the end of the world...either.

I got it from my work partner by riding in his jeep for about 20 min with windows down...we drove to Mcdonalds for lunch while on a job. We were painting a house...so outside.

He had a slight fever (99/100) kind of like a stuffy nose. No sneezing coughing etc. 6 days later he was getting tested, day 7 he called said he had it. I tested that day...so 7 days from "exposure" was neg. Got the fever over the weekend, tested again on the following Monday day 10...was positive.

Wife was tested same day was neg. Got tested 5 days later still negative. She is O type blood and that seems to help negate it...so it seems.

So, yes testing is so-so....sickness wasn't death at all...slight fever (100) no taste or smell...
