talaricohusker Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 MLS is playing right now with no fans and the MLB,NBA,NHL are getting ready to start I haven’t heard much about MLS having positive cases since they started playing. Also my wife said the there was an athletic camp some where in Illinois and 65 kids tested positive and one 13 year old died from it not sure if it’s true but I thought I throw that little tidbit out there Quote Link to comment

All media outlets are searching high and low for stories and this would have made national headlines. Quote Link to comment

However, they have already had two teams withdraw (FC Dallas and Nashville SC) - Dallas had 11 players test positive and Nashville had 9. A few other games have been postponed due to positive cases. And this is for players in an isolation bubble. Unless they are just going to lock down all the college football players for the entire fall, I think we will see many more teams have to withdraw or postponement/cancellation of games. Not impossible to work through, but we could see a lot of teams with 4 game seasons spread out over 3 months, or similar types of chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'm curious how many of these 20 total guys wound up showing symptoms. I'll see if I can find any info on that. Quote Link to comment

Thi sis the best I can find: https://abc7chicago.com/health/36-students-in-lake-zurich-hs-sports-camps-test-positive-for-covid-19/6318080/ It does say 36 have tested positive and they are waiting on results of 350 more and that's from yesterday. No mention of a death though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

That information does seem hard to find. Of course, with HIPAA, the players would have to consent to releasing that they tested positive. My guess (pure speculation) is not many, possibly none of them showed symptoms. If a huge cluster of players were showing symptoms I think it would have been much bigger news. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 20% would actually be an increase for Illinois for some games but... 2 4 Quote Link to comment
Rochelobe Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I know they are not a football league, but yet another conference dropping all non-conference games: https://omaha.com/sports/college/creighton/big-east-goes-conference-only-for-fall-sports-no-decision-on-basketball-yet/article_a02eed44-18e3-5d6d-9445-79f53621d65c.html Quote The Big East will cancel all nonconference competitions for its fall sports teams, it announced Thursday. This entire exercise (going conference only, minor conferences canceling fall sports), feels like slow motion dominoes that will eventually knock over fall P5 football. 2 Quote Link to comment

Mainly just pure curiosity and for my own understanding of what percentage of test-positive cases show symptoms. Just compiling as much anecdotal evidence as possible because this particular stat seems hard to obtain from officials. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lots of vital data is being hidden for reasons hard to see beyond pure politics. This makes so much of the discussion turn political when it should not be at all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
