@CoachEwing33
I want to share that I have tested positive for COVID-19. This virus is serious and should not be taken lightly. I want to encourage everyone to stay safe and take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

Yeah no kidding. Already posted in the correct topic.

Considering it's a Big East coach and something like this could affect whether we have sports this year, I'd say this is appropriate for this forum.

Patrick Ewing being positive for COVID in May is going to affect whether the Big East has basketball in November? LOL.

No, but if more coaches get it...

How can a coach social distance?

[tower912]

Good luck, coach.

Has Ewing been practicing proper social distancing?  If not, does this mean the assistant coaches, players, Georgetown administration, and/or athletic department staff all at risk?  Did he get it from one of them?

While other teams are trying to get into shape to start to play in November, does Georgetown spend the summer in lockdown?

So, yes it can very much affect Big East play this November.  To be determined if it will.

If more coaches get it in September orOctober it will have nothing to do with Patrick Ewing being positive in May.

It doesn't take Patrick Ewing getting covid to know that social distancing in sports is going to be impossible. Unless you thought defenders needed to stay 6 feet off their man at all times.

[Billy Hoyle]

You're kidding right?

I'm talking about coaches getting it and the concern it will raise, particularly as we get close to the season. Man, Logic must not be required at MU anymore.

They have like four guys on the team. I think they'll be fine.

In my years on this earth I have never seen anything that's brought out the paranoia and weird in people the way this pandemic has. Just...bizarre, really.

In your years on this earth (how many earths have you been on?)  there has never been a pandemic this deadly.  FACT.

[Herman Cain]

Coach Ewing has had a rough stretch of events lately. Been ripped publicly by former teammates , all the transfers and his house got robbed. Hope he comes out of Covid healthy .

You are correct, but I am old enough to remember the fear our parents had every summer when there were polio outbreaks. Not as deadly, but if you survived you could spend the rest of your life in an iron long or be severely crippled. I know, I had to friends that contracted the disease. The worse outbreak was in 1952 when there were nearly 58000 cases. Some towns were quarantined but the entire country was not shut down.

Friend lady, Chinese M.D. in Flushing NYC says, "this happens every 100 years".
She no longer puts patients in nursing homes or hospitals.
She lost 30 of 32 patients, her friend lost over 100.  Enjoy your holiday, boat parties, horseshoe bars and massages.  Isn't it great being a free American, live it up, why not?
