Suspending operations
Dec 21, 2021, 2:32 PM
|
|
With several schools suspending operations for football (such as Texas A/M) due to Covid be ready for problems. Clemson is coming to the game on their own with players and coaches all over the country. I will make the prediction that we will have a big outbreak and the game will be in question or we will have many players out. The concept of not coming down as a team will come back to bite us big time. This may have worked in past seasons but this year it is a really bad idea.

Geez our coaches can’t do anything right anymore we might as well have hired don knotts for OC and Jim Neighbors for DC.
It’s pretty simple the players who are required to be tested before are still being tested now. Instead of being tested at Jervey before departure and then again in some ballroom in Orlando now they’ll just be tested on site. Many are close enough to that they can travel by car and avoid the potential risk of air travel altogether. I guess you wanted em to be locked up on campus somewhere instead of at home spending time with their families like everyone else gets to do? Not in favor of opting out of bowls, but that might just be the one case where it would make sense to do so.

Air travel has little to no risk. There are not any documented instances of covid being transmitted between passengers, and it's one of the few places left where masks are mandated (whether they work or not is another topic).

Flying is generally safe but there are documented cases of transmission

Pardon my Aspergers-like craving for accuracy. Here’s what I found: “A recent review of medical research published by the Journal of Travel Medicine on Sept. 3 found 18 studies world-wide on in-flight Covid-19 transmission that documented 273 “index cases”—passengers who brought the virus onboard—and 64 “secondary cases”—59 passengers and five crew members found to have been infected in-flight. Two other studies examining wastewater on airplane flights found evidence that infected passengers were likely onboard.”
I think we can safely say there have been more than 273 people who have flown with COVID. And thus there have probably been unknown transmissions. And this research was done before the recent variants.
However I agree that it’s probably not as risky as a lot of people think. There would be more documented cases if it were very risky.

Dabo made TL quarantine on the sidelines during the Notre Dame game last year when he tested positive. Our staff knows what they are doing.

TL had tested negative by game time and had sat his 10 days, but hadn't passed the 24 hour (or 48, can't remember) hour threshold for whatever the heart test/re-acclimation period was.

Having the flu isn’t a contraindication to traveling (or even playing).
Remember the Michael Jordan “flu game?”

Someone should tell all the people over the years who have died from the flu…particularly young people.

I have to say this because you brought on a laugh. Tell Tigernet how we can tell
people that died with the flu that it is safe? Sorry but I had to post it.

I simply said the flu is not safe.
The flu has been known for a long time to be highly transmissible and sometimes deadly for people of all ages.
Are you disputing that fact?

We all know that you aren’t actually concerned about players traveling with the flu, nor are you worried about them transmitting it to others.
You are trying to make a (ridiculous) point that if players can’t travel with COVID, they shouldn’t be traveling with the flu either since both are contagious and both can result in death.

Is it because one of them is on the news all the time??
You don’t want to answer it.
So you’re right- because of that, the conversation is going nowhere.
Now put your blindfold back on and go sit in a corner until you’re told you can come out.

THE FLU, WHICH ACTUALLY MAKES YOUNG PEOPLE SICK, IS PERFECTLY OK TO PLAY WITH. BUT FOR GOD SAKES LETS NOT GET A SNIFFLE FROM THE DREADED.

bowl games. The latest variant is everywhere and highly contagious. 47 positives in the NFL yesterday. These cancellations will probably move quickly like what we saw when we went to seeing the ACCT shut down and then NCAA canceled a few days later. It's going to be ridiculous given the symptoms associated with this waterdowned strain but without being able to identify the variant at time of test and lack of rationale, I don't think the football season is going to end well.

Re: unfortunately, I also expect ... Omicron less deadly

The medical authorities (for what they are worth these days) report that the Omicron variant is more contagious, but less dangerous than previous variants.
You're probably guessing correctly in that numerous bowl cancellations are likely.
Whether or not the cancellations associated with Omicron are merited is something for which the 'medical authorities' are not equipped to judge.
Arguing about the dangers of any strain of Covid which contrasts with the views of selected 'prominent / frequent' TNet posters seem to be a trigger to get posts removed from TNet, but here goes:
Omicron is not any more dangerous than the TYPICAL bad flu. (Spanish Flu of 1918 was not a typical bad flu ... that one was infamously bad.) Would a typically bad flu lead to a 14 day quarantine after the illness went away?
OK, we can now wait for the TNet Covid scare-mongers / vax promoters to express their outrage against anyone who suggests that any variant of Covid is less dangerous than Satan's breath, and (if their arguments are weak) then the thread gets cancelled.

I wonder if avoiding gathering back at Clemson is also to avoid the 100% testing regime that held so many asymptomatic players out of games this year. I don't know the testing requirements for the bowl game, but they can't be as overly zealous as the on-campus regime has been.

To add more the fun of potential COVID related bowl game cancellations, the CDC has now recommended that the 'traditional' PCR method for diagnosing the presence of a COVID infection will soon be no longer valid, and a new COVID diagnosis test method needs to be used.
As if any additional chaos is needed at this point.

So players would have not been with family for Christmas?

It is another example of having a coach who walks the walk. And I appreciate it.
We’re not in the playoffs. We are playing a team whose best player is sitting out. I wanna win, but this is sorta like an excuse to party. Make it fun and not work and start building something for next year.
