He's 38, not a high risk personage fortunately.  It could be a false positive, I still don't have solid data on how often that happens and can be expected.

My kid in Texas is 32 and said for four days it was very unpleasant.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/all-77-false-positive-covid-19-tests-came-back-negative-nfl-testing-partner-cites-isolated-contamination/

The NFL went through one of its biggest COVID-19 scares of training camp after there were 77 positive tests that came about on Saturday. Upon further examination for this spike, however, it was revealed that these were false-positives as Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network reports that all of the original tests were rerun on Sunday night and each of them came back negative for the coronavirus. Those 77 individuals also underwent additional testing and all of those tests came back negative as well. 

On Monday, Jon R. Cohen, M.D., the Executive Chairman of BioReference Laboratories, the testing partner of the NFL, released a statement explaining that these false-positives were due to an isolated contamination in the New Jersey lab.

I'm trained to consider all viable possibilities when the answer is unknown.

One possibility here is a false positive test.  They happen.  I do not know how often they occur.

Appears to have been an issue at one lab, which can happen of course when so many labs popped up doing these tests.

It would be interesting to know how many false positives there have been and how many were corrected and how all of that had been reported

FSU HC Mike Norvell tests positive for Covid-19.  And he isn't 20 years old, guys.  Here we go.......


There he is. Thanks for another worthless doomsday post.  

Norvell is soooooooooooo sick, that he held a press conference, and is remotely coaching his team while under quarantine, during said press conference he repeatedly claimed "[he] feels just fine." He is also 38, in yet another not high risk group.

Orange Asperger Man, your routine has gone past old into the deplorable category.

I doubt the seriousness of this disease increases much between age 20 and age 38.  By age 50, it probably gets tougher and a person is more likely to have contrary conditions. 

The question of course is where he contracted it, and whether he infected anyone else around the team.

Notre Dame - Wake Forest postponed. 7 Irish players have tested positive and apparently a total of 13 are affected (i.e. the remainder in isolation due to contact tracing).

Kansas State might also have too many players out to make their game against Oklahoma this weekend.

So, the Plan is looking shaky at the moment.

I'd like to now what particular 7 and 13 players and why they can't field a team w/o them

My post just stated facts.  Why did it cause you to froth at the mouth?  

We're not completing a season, guys.  Look around.  It's a PANDEMIC.  No hyperbole needed.
