Immunity is not a given. There are numerous reports from multiple countries of recovered COVID patients contracting the disease again, and generally it looks like COVID antibodies only stay in the body 3-4 months, which is why vaccination might not be the guarantee everyone is hoping for, especially if they need to generate enough doses for everyone to get it 3-4 times per year.
Also did those patients actually recover or did they have a relapse; after all the body is still producing antibodies for 3-4 months? Also there is no evidence of high rates of reinfection, if there were would already know. Even if a player tests positive and is asymptomatic why would you quarantine the whole team and cancel games? These are young healthy athletes. If however a player is sick I could see the team quarantined. Again, I would not want to be on this years NCAA selection committee.As for a vaccine it will be at least another two years before we know if they are safe and effective and like you I am not very optimistic as it very difficult to produce a vaccine for corona viruses. If it was we would have a vaccine for the common cold.https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article245665350.html
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
Yawn. Take the Covid talk to a Covid thread. This board is unreadable right now.
how is the season start not covid relatted
In that scenario would you expect those games to be televised?
Brew, in that scenario would you expect those games to be televised?
Why would you even play the games if they weren’t televised? Why go through that expense? Without TV you might as well just have UWM bus down on a Saturday afternoon. That’s the whole point of continuing with the season. To get TV $$$.
Do we play home games at the Al?
I heard from someone over at Villanova, that the Marquette-Wisconsin game will be included as one of the Gavitt Challenge games.Supposedly, they're really trying to stay local with those games. Creighton-Nebraska, Rutgers-Seton Hall, DePaul-Illinois, Villanova-Penn State, Maryland-Georgetown, Xavier-Ohio State, Butler-Indiana or Purdue.
If they aren't letting in fans, except maybe family, it's the only thing that makes sense. Unless they are contractually obligated to play at Fiserv and the powers-that-be won't let them out of the contract.
I feel like Depaul Northwestern's a little bit more of a local game if that's their goal. In fact a quick Apple Maps check shows Depaul to Purdue is also a shorter drive. And now that I think about it we're closer to NW than we are to UW. This whole local concept is weird
And now that I think about it we're closer to NW than we are to UW.
The distances are samesies.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
