Both teams have played teams that have had a positive test in the last two days. If the system is following “science” and all protocols why arent these two teams also shutdown because they have been exposed?
Kentucky vs Kansas
- Thread starter fatherspider
- Start date
Yea if they are serious about actually trying to stop the spread (impossible) and not just playing make believe, these two teams would be sideline too.
I’m still trying to figure out why Gonzaga didn’t have to stop everything for two weeks when one of its players tested positive? Is that an NCAA rule or just a suggestion?
I am watching this game with two teams that are apparently national title contenders and I can't stop asking myself, how good is Richmond? Are we actually a team that can dominate Kentucky on their home court, a Kentucky team that looks just as good as Kansas? How good are we?

Gonzaga plays game against Auburn after learning a Bulldogs player tested positive for COVID-19
Gonzaga coach Mark Few said a player tested positive and another was out in the win vs. the Tigers as a result of contact tracing

The NCAA has NOT imposed a uniform rule. The 14 days is their guideline, but they allow schools to defer to local health protocols. Depending on the testing method, a positive test is likely to be non-infectious virus.
I don't see how you can transmit a disease before effectively having the disease. so I'd think a negative team-wide rapid test on gameday should be sufficient for any team to play.
True. But that is in a rational world and we know that nothing about the handling of this has been rational. We have three year olds wearing masks for gods sake.
Ohhhh I guess the “science” has changed once again. I guess now people are only infectious for 7-10 days. What, it took 9 months for them to determine that?
the CDC still recommends a 14-day quarantine “as the best way to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19.”
However, the quarantine can end after 10 days if the person has not developed any symptoms, and it can end after just seven days if the asymptomatic person also tests negative for the virus.

CDC says 14-day quarantine best way to reduce Covid risk, but 10- and 7-day periods work in some cases
The agency previously recommended that anyone who was exposed to Covid-19 quarantine for 14 days.
Science is a process of evaluating all available data and reaching what often become new conclusions. It’s hypothesis, research, trial, observation, new hypothesis, almost endlessly. So yeah, after nine months we have a clearer understanding of things than we did in March and some guidelines are changing. Another nine months from now, we’ll know even more things and the advice may change again.

Read this thread thinking I would find out the score of the Jayhawks - Wildcats , but alas all about Covid. Resorted to looking up score - Kansas 65, Kentucky 62............................
So you are saying in the time between Copernicus and Galileo, the path of the sun didn't change, only our knowledge of it did?
I learn something new every day...
Ok but why is this coming out now and not 6 months ago? What about the virus has changed. They change their story and policies on a daily basis. They are certain about how to handle this virus about as much as Solly was about how to play the match up zone.the CDC still recommends a 14-day quarantine “as the best way to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19.”

Yea but the likes of you have been trying to make us believe that “science” is all knowing and cant or shouldnt be disputed for 9 months now, yet they have been disputing their own findings constantly. But if anyone else questions them we are vilified as “science deniers”. Such absolute hypocrisy and BS.
Try being less bitter, man. I mean jeez. People are trying their best in this situation and the public health community is learning and adapting as we go along.
“The likes of me?” Not sure what you mean by that, but I’ve certainly never said or suggested that. I come from a family of scientists who are a lot smarter than me, so while I don’t understand science, I understand how it works. Science in most cases gives us the best possible analysis of a situation at a moment in time. Not sure how you can expect more than that.
If the likes of you stop frickin fighting it, we can ALL stop having to fight it a lot sooner.
We are #19 in college basketball - let's forget about the fussing and the fighting - and enjoy that fact. Doesn't happen everyday that Richmond is ranked that high. It is enough to make me happy.
I'd be a lot happier watching us play tonight. but I get it. we knew this season would have Covid challenges. I think there are 33 teams currently on pause and there will be more.
I guess glass half full is that it is possible we are less likely to have the post-big game letdown if we have to deal with the frustration of being paused for 2 weeks, and can come back hungry. It's not like we were shooting lights out anyway and the pause will make us go cold.
