Rick Barnes Positive for COVID-19: Games this week are in doubt

[Captain Mitch]

Didn’t someone randomly post “Covid” in one of these threads a couple of days ago?

That's kinda what I was thinking. I'm guessing its people who have really depressed immune system when they get the 2nd round. I don't expect that it will be an issue for the vast majority of the population. Maybe those that have already had it, get a vaccine after everyone else, just to be on the safe side, but otherwise I would expect that immunity lasts on the order of years, not weeks or months.

Yeah there is still a lot of doubt about people getting it twice but it seems like in most cases that will not happen. It can reemerge within somebody without them getting reinfected. Maybe somebody can get it again if they had a very low viral load the first time

Yeah, @Catbone , I think?

 

[sccshortstop]

Barnes got it from Fulmer, perhaps?

or contact with Plowman

Not a single get well soon Coach Barnes in the whole thread. Hope he handles it well.

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

If it was just Barnes I’m sure that someone could take his place.

I’m saying if none of four coaches can be there, then there won’t be a game

They should keep a coach strictly away for this reason. I don't know the rules and guidelines, but could there be a teleconferencing Proxy? Someone holding an ipad with barnes on zoom. I say that in jest....but with a dash of seriousness

Nice thought Pulaski.

Sending well wishes to CRB and all who may have it.

Well, we know he’s only here cause UCLA wouldn’t pay his buyout so.....

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Sorry to hear that for CRB.

You'd think there would have been someone develop and market an isolation chamber (bubble) for situations such as these.

Saban tested positive, then got a different doctor, maybe Barnes needs to get his name.

 

[Volfan1000]

Good luck to Coach Barnes in his recovery from the virus.

I heard that dufferent doctor was wearing a black & white striped shirt.
And driving a new crimson BMW

Do we even know if he's sick? They rarely report on symptoms

 

[goldvol]

would be so 2020 to lose the one shining diamond in the program. Get well soon, Coach Barnes!

 

[BeecherVol]

One thing Ive learned about this virus. Testing positive, doesn't mean you re sick or even will be.

Has anyone reported that he has had symptoms? Or he he just pop positive on regular testing?

 

[zjcvols]

Started a new thread and not surprising but the Volunteer Classic is cancelled

 

[Zues1]

2020 can just kiss my ass !

 

[cardvolfan]

I believe they won't test for 90 days. But if someone had it in the spring or summer, I would guess they are getting tested. Having it is kind of like the vaccine in that the antibodies only last for so long.

There is a recent study out of Harvard that suggests Covid immunity might be long-lasting. So much information out there with conflicting results, including those who have supposedly had it twice.

This is like the saddest thing ever was so looking forward to watching the team play! Prayers!

I'd wait until after the Vandy game Saturday to determine if this so.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Okay you know it’s possible to get it twice right?

Is that right? I’ve heard mostly you do have immunity for a period of time with only a few cases in the last few months where individuals are claiming they were infected twice. Can you provide the sources?

More people are getting COVID-19 twice, suggesting immunity wanes quickly in some

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

At last look, there were 5 confirmed cases of people getting it twice. That is out of the 40 m that have had it.

40m worldwide ?
