Students are not sitting social distanced

[speechteach]

They’re outside in open air..and masks don’t work, they may lessen droplets your to 15%...You stay home and build your immunity by stop drinking alcohol, sodas, and poising your body with unhealthy foods. When you’ve done that, you can have a say (which should still be discarded) Not one student at any university of over 27k positive tests have needed a hospital.

Nobody else going to call out how uninformed and outright awful this comment is? No, of course not.

Only if you want to blow this up. Knock yourself out

Something that ridiculous should never get a reply.

Expect more stringent rules and consequences at the next home game according to my rep at the ticket office. Also Thrasher sent a letter to the students about campus behavior.

I think that letter ought to be published on the General FSU website. It would benefit alumni as well. And waitstaff in C-town. That pizza place ( can't remember the name - Paul's Piss Poor House of Pandemic Pies?) was a Petri dish.

Pandemic Pies very funny. My wife pronounced we were going to the game and leaving the general area of the University as quickly as possible. So no College Town for us.

Interesting article about professional athletes and covid positive tests: https://www.city-journal.org/covid-story-sports-media-wont-tell

"Virtually all this reporting exclusively involved positive tests. But even calling these “cases,” as the media often do, is a stretch, because that implies disease or a condition where medical treatment is needed. The truth: actual cases have been rare, at least as far as we know. "

"Exactly why sports media have been so uninterested in the success that most leagues have had in getting started again is unclear—but many fans have noticed. Clay Travis, the radio host, sportswriter, and founder of the iconoclastic sports website Outkick, has dubbed sports journalists who relentlessly lobby to shut down sports “coronabros.”

His thoughts on professional athletes is easily generalizable to college athletes and even college students.

I still don't understand why a positive test can't be overturned by a negative test a few days later instead of a possibly unneeded 21 day quarantine.
In Nascar, 2 drivers tested positive on a Friday and were barred from participating that weekend. Nascar requires 2 negative tests at least 24hrs apart. They both had negative test the very next Monday and Tuesday and were back in the driver's seat. False positives for sure.
So why can't a college football player do the same? And if 2 negatives....back to active status.

because. that is all.

based on the hysteria of gameday we should also be hearing of a big uptick in Tallahassee COVID cases right about now, more than a week has passed. no uptick, huge reduction, maybe the sound of crickets?

That team's games were canceled in July and the campus was 100% remote. Quite a stretch there to blame football or even the school.

And the picture of the kid who died looks like he was a sloppy 300+ pounds. Not that it makes his death any less tragic. Still very young.

Check out the CDC's latest statistics on the survival rate for 0-24 year olds who get infected with Covid. Here's the survival rates for two different groups:
0-19 years - 99.997%
20-49 years: 99.98%

Oh, and the latest stats for 70,000+ positive tests on college campuses this fall, with 3 hospitalizations and 0 deaths.
