I thought I’d share something interesting. Unfortunately, this story and, inevitably, more stories like it will result in no college football but I’ve been resigned to no football for a while now.
A friend of mine has a son that’s an incoming freshman football player at Duke. They allowed 110 kids to start workouts a couple weeks ago. The family could drop the kids off but could not stay. Every person that exited their vehicle had to get out one at a time and go through a medical screening. The football players were then taken to their rooms where they are required to stay at all times. The only time they’re allowed to leave is for meals and workouts and when they do leave their room they wear masks at all times, except while actually eating of course. In the gym they’re rotated around and on shifts to allow social distancing while still wearing masks. Coaches also have to wear masks at all times around the kids. They arrived on a Sunday and 2 kids tested positive from the first round of testing. The next round was Friday and 15 kids tested positive. None of them are showing any symptoms at this point but of course they’re being quarantined. Take what you want from this but this virus is going to run its course. Until it does one way or another we are all just along for the ride.
