Will There Be a 2020 Football Season?

[Hilltop]

Another thought - How loud would a stadium full of masked people be?  Guessing it would still be loud but definitely not the same.

Louder than an empty one!

Even with out lower than national average numbers, a full stadium would likely be a pretty bad idea.  One person could give it to 100s.  Maybe rapid testing will be developed that will change things?  Test everyone at the gate?  Show up with a recent negative test to be admitted?  Crazy but some of our fan base would likely do it to attend.

 

I just got my covid test today for work and I have to wait 5 to 7 business days to get the results but said they would contact me immediately if I test positive. Think of the logistics and the cost.

1. cannot come into stadium without mask; ticket? go out and scalp it but remain six feet apart;

2. station 1: register, show photo ID, and proof of health insurance and copay; if no insurance, pay total fee;

Remember, stay where the red cone is at to insure six feet apart. 

3. station 2: get temp checked;

4. station 3: get nickel and dimed with questions: shortness of breath? been in contact with anyone with covid? feeling sick? feverish? cough? been on a cruise? been out of the state since January? own your own home? want to refinance? 

5. station 4: get nose swabbed by nurse in hazmat suit;

6. station 5: get results; 

7. if negative, you may enter;

8. if positive, go to Soylent Green entry where it says Soylent Green; proud sponsor of Husker Athletics. Listen for our ads during the game when Greg Sharpe and Matt Davison talk about it during the game. Enjoy the great taste of Soylent Green and cheer on the Huskers with your favorite beverage. 

Or do our express lane ticket entry:

1. have mask;

2. show most recent covid results with doctor's signature;

3. if recent according to guidelines; you are in;

4. if not recent enough, go the line where covid check-in is at;

 

Luxury suite owner? Come right on in. No need for the above. 

 

But I hope this is not considered political but this just came out: https://www.foxnews.com/health/different-types-covid-19-study

Your express lane theory could work...  Some tests are out there providing fairly quick results.

I have got a feeling that some local public health officials are simply losing their minds over this tweet as those "low" numbers can turn into "big" numbers in a real hurry. I do not know what Moos' calculus is on this. If the league deviates from the CDC, then the CDC is going to say "do what you want, don't blame us, I am sure your crack epidemiologists in the athletic department are smarter than us." 

I am curious how the ushers will work it. How can you separate groups that did not travel together when you don't really know how they got there.  And have you ever seen a line of more than 30 people that practiced 'social distancing?'

I remember Soylent Green. LOL! Watched it in a movie theater as a youngster which shows my age. Edward Robinson's last film. Movie was ahead of it's time.

I think if the season does kick off the 4 game red shirt rule is going to be extremely handy this year. 

I heard a while back they were thinking about adjusting it to a 6 game red shirt rule for this season. IDK, maybe that’s not a thing now....

Problem is the testing has been very prone to false negatives, likely due to the fact it has mutated into different strains. 

very common to test neg. today and be positive day after tomorrow.

I was reading a post today that someone was talking to a nurse in Lincoln who says they test some patients over and over because they have every single symptom but they keep coming back negative. They blame it on multiple strains. That is anecdotal to be fair
