Coronavirus (No politics)

[HuntlandVolinColo]

And the COVID ridiculousness just keeps rolling on

libs are using it as the gateway to socialism. Shut down everything, kill off businesses, get people hooked on govt slop, yada yada yada!

It's sad that it took him to the brink of death to change his stance, but I'm glad he did. I hope he helps to convince his congregation and others to get vaccinated.

Danny Reeves: Anti-vaxxer Texas pastor pushes for jabs after Covid 'ravaged' health

'Erroneously overconfident' paster initially refused to get vaccinated but is now urging people to do so after a 'harrowing' stint in hospital

That's really messed up. This Chinese virus should of never been political.

The CCP virus was created due to politics. If it wasn't political there would be no virus.

Vaccine isn’t a vaccine, it’s a therapeutic that is losing efficacy. Doesn’t help me. Could hurt me. My natural immunity is better. No thanks

Don’t be so sure…

Has the football team's % of vaccinated been released?

 

[utvols1975]

CJH said in the presser today that about 80% of the team is vaccinated, so that bodes well for us not having a big COVID breakout that leads to a forfeit.

free steaks every Monday for vaxed players. lol

Well we had 5 family members vaccinated, 3 different vaccines, and we all got COVID with symptoms, and it started with a vaccinated person. So we are proof being vaccinated doesn’t prevent it, but did prevent hospitalization. Didn’t I read 100% of Ole Miss is vaccinated? And they could still end up forfeiting. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I think it puts more pressure on teams to get everyone vaccinated.

It will but that still won’t decrease infections.

 

[bigdaddy]

Exactly what it is for.

Here is key points, IF you are vaccinated, you don’t get tested. IF you are not, you get 2 tests a week and if you are positives you sit. Vaccinated doesn’t sit. That ensures most teams will be at least 75% (85% is the goal) players are good to go. Only a few aren’t there yet. AU is about 50% and their HC isn’t vaccinated.

I believe even the vaccinated players will be tested once a week.

 

[VolBricks]

I heard Heupel say in today's interview the team is over 80% vaccinated.

 

[beachmaster]

@Chipperbones, my daughter is a school teacher, got vaxxed and still caught covid. Not hospitalized, just had to quarantine till Thursday.

Nope

 

[bigdaddy]

Nope

Just going by what was said on the radio. I can’t find anything in print about it. Personally I think it makes zero sense to test a no symptomatic person but with this climate of penalizing the infirm, nothing would surprise me

This is where games will be lost IMO. Having the vaccine and then have contract tracing with positive covid test. Bet your ass Bama will be clean all year

The State of Tennessee has had 1,021,578 positive cases. Only 13,338 deaths (which are NOT all because of COVID. If you have a GSW, but had COVID when you died, it counts as a COVID death)

That math comes out to 0.013

Or 1.3%

If I told you that you had a 1.3% chance of getting in a airplane crash, would you still get on the plane? 1.3% of winning a bet, would you bet your house on it? 1.3% is not huge at all.

And that isnt to discount the 13,000 deaths. Those people are real people and loved by many.

But this response over something that has killed only 1.3% of the people who have been confirmed to have gotten it is ridiculous.

Oh you think the virus is fake ok

 

[volsack]

Are any SEC schools doing "remote classes" this year? If so, their athletes aren't forced to wander around campus and that would lessen their exposure.

A forfeit to Vandy or USCe would be a knife to the gut. I dislike the "bubble" mentality but exposure to random folks is where the risk is for the team.

I agree. Bars and house parties will be covid breeding grounds

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

It will but that still won’t decrease infections.

It will decrease them but certainly not eliminate them.

 

[livefaith]

Looks like this is our best chance to break the bama streak. Cmon Covid forfeit!

No chance. The deer urine spray they use in their jocks and brush teeth with kills COVID-19 dead in it's tracks!

 

[jmcarr33]

It's not positive tests that are the real problem. It's the contact tracing that results from a positive test that could trigger a significant number of players being held out. And this in spite of the other players being vaccinated and testing negative.

Many schools are not contact tracing anymore. The high schools in our county are just sending out warnings to make you aware if your child has been around anyone that tests positive and stating that if your child has been around anyone and shows symptoms then keep them home. If no symptoms appear there aren’t any issues sending them to school. At least those are the protocols here in Sumner County.

Now do the math on those under the age of 25 with no serious medical conditions.

It’s never been about the deaths. It’s always been about hospital capacity. That is not a myth.

Are you aware of many elite athletes occupying hospital beds?

Hmmm did you read the post I replied to?
