How will covid effect this season
- Thread starter dww07

Very frustrating we can't put this thing away. Sounds like our 3rd down defense. Between vaccinations lagging and the delta variant surging, it sounds like it could be another repeat of last year. My unvaccinated neighbor (age 55) is now in ICU at UAB with the ECMO machine for the past several days. Its a surgical procedure that bypasses both the heart and lungs while oxygenating the blood. Two staff members are with her at all times. Absolutely no change..... She had had covid and thought her antibodies were enough. Both her and her husband were hospitalized at the same time. He got better and now she's fighting for her life. UAB brought a plane with 8 staff members down here to get her. At best, a three to four month recovery. You can't imagine the outpouring of community support and prayer she has had. Stacy is a fighter! But more prayers are always welcomed!
Way more to this thing than what were being told I'm afraid. Confusion is worse than fear. People hear one thing and see another. Things just don't add up for folks.
Even with Delta, they are not going to shut everything down again, especially with Desantis. Barring some overwhelming surge in cases and deaths with hospitals being swamped I highly doubt much if anything changes this season.
This thread was about how covid may effect out upcoming football season. That is why it was posted in the TC.
What concerns me is I am hearing of pockets of out breaks. Even vaccinated people are getting infected.
While it may not be as bad as last year, all it takes is one person on the team or staff and it may cause a canceled game. I read somewhere that the infected team would have to forfeit.
I really hope I am wrong.

I really believe you are correct, so I guess it’ll be someone’s duty to define “overwhelming”…I’m glad it’s not me.
Who knows. I would assume people literally dying in their cars waiting to get a hospital bed.
Has the ACC made any statements similar to the SEC on COVID and rescheduling games? I’d hate to have to forfeit games this year. I note the SEC also claims at least 6 teams are at 80+% vaccinated.
Please do not turn this thread into a vaccination debate. It doesn’t really matter what we think anyway.

If the NFL, SEC etc are not rescheduling games due to outbreaks, I would expect the ACC to follow.

NFL informs clubs that COVID-19 outbreaks among unvaccinated players could lead to forfeited games
As the NFL approaches the 2021 season, the league informed clubs that it would not extend the season to accommodate a COVID-19 outbreak among unvaccinated players that causes a game cancellation.
My guess is the reasoning would be vaxxed people are having much reduced symptoms so they're not as concerned about them.
When they're all over each other in sports with no masks anyhow, the specific regulations don't really make much logical sense but from just a football being played perspective I hope we get to the "herd immunity" number so we can avoid testing and having a forfeit. What a disaster if the ND game were to get cancelled.
Yeah. But if it’s about who is sick, then just isolate the actually sick people. From day one the whole testing of healthy people was predicated on idea that there is a risk they have it ans spread it. If that’s true of both, then testing only unvaxxed people is pure theater.
I think the idea of testing anyone who’s healthy is absolutely ridiculous. But if it’s going to be done, it should make sense. This doesn’t.
Nothing in the sports realm makes a lot of sense with Covid but isn't really relevant because the rules they came up with are the rules regardless of whether we agree or disagree. All FSU can do it hope to reach that magical number to lower the chances anyone has to miss a game.
Fair, I just wish they had rules that were consistent. I process things that I may disagree with but are consistent a lot better. None of this makes any sense.
Hate to even mention this, but the new Covid outbreak is starting to worry me. Sure don’t want another blown up football season.
I was just talking about this last night. I really would love to watch these noles be able to play a normal season to really evaluate their progress and see where we currently stand.
probably going to lock the thread since this starts once a day but
the team is vaccinated
fans can fill the stadium
its over dude - relax - if someone gets covid he is the only one that misses nobody else

Source: Mond positive; Cousins a close contact
Vikings rookie Kellen Mond has tested positive for COVID-19, a source confirmed to ESPN, and as a result QBs Kirk Cousins and Nate Stanley -- both deemed high-risk close contacts -- will have to abide by a five-day quarantine.
most of the team .. the only issue is if we lose one player for one game and it a big one parchment or mm or johnson or r scott at ot
but the game / season will not get cancelled
Well today Florida broke the cases record. I don’t think that’s a big deal, but it’s an easy to use stat to get things slowing down again.
Don't be so sure, the latest studies indicate breakthrough infections in those vaccinated, albeit rare, are every bit as contagious when they do happen with this delta strain.
Fl has had about 50,000 if not more new cases the past three days. It isn’t over!
They never said people couldn’t get infected if they were vaccinated. You just won’t get nearly as sick because your body has an immunity to fight it with. You can be exposed and be infected and may not even know it with the vaccine. That’s why people need to get their asses up and get the vaccine. Things would pretty much get back to normal if 80%+ of this country was vaccinated.
I am here in Tallahassee and my 7 year old son has COVID. Got it at summer camp last week. Luckily he’s doing fine. But the delta variant is alive and making its rounds in the 850.
Serous question - are there any reports on the impact of having already had the virus? Are people who naturally had it getting it again?
Are there any studies On that? I have friends who have been vaccinated who got it. I don’t know a single person who got it after having it. That’s why I don’t like to rely on people just talking about it.
I think we’d take a plateau even at this point, wouldn’t we? Exponential growth in cases and hospitalizations Over the last 2-3 weeks. Ormc and advent here is central Florida are at capacity
Not back to zero but a significant decrease from the high point in mid july. The more important data they collected though is that the rate of death for delta was 0.1% of infected vs 1.9% for non-delta covid.
Preaching to the choir on vaccination, I work in the medical field. 98%+ of our hospitalized Covid patients are unvaccinated. Everyone, myself included, however is surprised by the latest data however regarding viral loads of breakthrough infections.
Yes, I aware of one family that had it, later on was given the Shot for it. They tested positive for it two weeks ago.
my Understanding is that all students must be vaccinated and show proof or apply for waiver for religion reason or medical reasons.
