40m worldwide ?

My number is several days old. I think the new number is 54 m worldwide

I’m confused. What was the point of the chips? Anyway, hope he recovers quickly.

Could the team play with no coaches?

Well, the football team has the last 3 years

Well, the football team has the last 3 years

That's hilarious

When Fulmer announced he had COVID it was just a precursor. My guess is that the whole AD department have it

 

[kptvol1]

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

Possibility is near zero at this point.

The immunity may last for years. You can test positive even after recovery. The test is for the CV-19 RNA, which can remain for weeks after recovery. Also, you can have a positive test after recovery yet not be contagious. Those who test positive after recovery are asymptotic. I have survived this thing and now drive patients home from the hospital with no fears. Even families and the cabbies are living in fear. Immunity to the Coronavirus May Last Years, New Data Hint

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

Coach Jolly should do it with CRB zoomed in on an iPad. I’d pay $20 to be on the zoom meeting as an observer!

And you may be strengthening the longevity of your immune response by doing that. From sciencemag...

Because of these persistent immune defenses, “I expect that most reinfections will be asymptomatic,” says Antonio Bertoletti, an infectious disease specialist at the National University of Singapore. He says being reinfected might even be a good thing, “since you will continue to boost and train your immune system.”

Please don't take this away from us 2020

You mean 11 years?

Get well soon coach Barnes

 

[Volfan2012]

This probably wipes out any games of the next 14 days. Sad to see this happening.

 

[calban]

It's just the Tennessee way. we should all be used to it by now.

 

[Phil-A-Man Jaro]

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

I heard him coughing on a volquest podcast that came out Monday. Not sure when it was recorded. He was obviously speaking with them over the phone. Of course, I've been so conditioned that as soon as I hear coughing, my response is, "uh oh." In this case my response seems to have been right.

I noticed and thought the same exact thing at the time.

I didn't even know it was up to five...I usually read BBC for news, and there was a report on the first, but that's the only one I've seen.

Be very careful when typing that into your browser! I learned the hard way...
GBO!!

Kill me.

Gonzaga and ND games now canceled.

Figured that this was coming unless all of yesterday’s tests came back negative by some miracle.

 

[Stoked]

The good news is Coach Barnes seems to be doing well with mild symptoms.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

This season is in jeopardy. Lots of teams cancelling 4-5 games before the season even begins.

Dammit...I hate this year. I get the public health argument, but man just halting life for years until this thing is under control is a depressing thought. Tennessee basketball was legit one of the few things I was looking forward to this hellish year. I hate COVID.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Gonzaga and ND games now canceled.

I havent seen it official yet but i figured it was coming

 

[Stoked]

Man we might not ever get to see Keon and Jaden play in a UT jersey... that’s legit one of the most depressing things.
