Frost won't say anything either, other than certain guys are "not able to perform"/"under the weather".....you won't see them on the sidelines either, unlike like most guys who are on IR, these guys will be in quarantine. Aw Lord, can’t wait for all that speculation and internet rumors. For as much as we’re learning about how minimal Covid can be, for the healthy and the young, they with are being treated like they have the plague. if it’s still policy to quarantine for 14 days after contact with a positive case, how will anyone practice or play? Seems like one or two cases on a team would shut all down for 14. 1 Quote Link to comment

On 5/29/2020 at 2:14 PM, Mavric said: A Husker player did test positive for COVID-19, Nebraska's athletic director confirmed during an interview with Husker247 on Friday, and was moved to isolation. "We have had a positive that I know of, only one so far," Moos said. "We followed the protocol on the testing to determine that it was a positive test, and then the protocol continued as to isolation and addressing it. We don't want any positive tests, but we have now gone through the actual positive test in how we addressed it, and it worked very, very well. And if we have another positive test, we know that our protocol works and will be followed again." Moos said earlier this week the Huskers have a strict protocol for their athletes that has even been copied by peer institutions in the conference. When student-athletes arrive, they are quarantined for two days, and then tested, with a helping hand from UNMC. As for handling a positive test? "Anyone who was involved with that student – that would be those who conducted the test, the trainers, a football operations person, for example, they are quarantined and tested after 48 hours," Moos said. "The individual who did test positive goes into an isolation period while going through the rest of the protocol before they can return to voluntary activities." 247 1 Quote Link to comment

You know you can just observe that quietly without opening your mouth and jinxing it right? Just when it looks like football will happen? This is still 2020 where each month has brought something new and terrible to humanity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s probably gonna be like other sports, where the games will go on, but fans won’t be there. TV money is more important than butts in seats at the game itself... Quote Link to comment
Loebarth Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Butts in seats = dollars to local venders. Local venders going bankrupt and losing their livelihood would devastate the university and the city. Therefore, to think Moos is not doing everything possible to place butts in the the seat is simply a false thought. Quote Link to comment

hunter49 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 huge gray area on the horizon, many unanswered questions left on the sideline.....economic factors seem to be driving policy for now? Quote Link to comment

You do realize that the vast majority of those beds are not filled with Covid-19 patients and are actually very close to normal occupancy, right?

They regularly run at 70%+ usage in a normal time. Dr. Scott Gottlieb has covered this on Twitter quite a few times (calls out that graphic specifically and needing to stop scaring people for the sake of scaring people). Highly recommend the follow. https://twitter.com/ScottGottliebMD?s=20 Quote Link to comment
