First of all, I wish Geno all the best and hope he has a fast recovery and no one else gets ill and anyone who does recovers quickly.

Second of all, crap.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Oh No!! I hope he recovers and nobody else is infected.

This is odd; I assume (given his age, for example) that he's received at least one, if not two, vaccines. Many questions.

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

false positive?

 

[Sanka541]

He received his second vaccine on 9th or 10th March (seen differing responses) but you aren’t fully vaccinated until 10-14 days after receiving it. Looks like he hasn’t been around the team since he got it and they’ve all continued to test negative as they have daily testing at the moment.

I do hope they re-test him. There have been false positives.

Mind blown. Get well soonest boss.

The vaccines thus far have been shown to primarily reduce severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths in those that receive them - infection is still possible and is well documented in the clinical trials.

This is nuts. Texas is covid free they say.

What does Texas have to do with Geno testing positive, he lives in Connecticut not Texas.

 

[iri10]

Even the 1st dose of the two shot vaccines is supposed to reduce the odds of severe illness by a ton, which is good. And Geno had his 2nd dose (though not enough time for it to reach full efficacy).

But man, I am certainly tired of this horrible virus.

Quick recovery. CD has coached before, and not just when Geno got tossed. He was suspended early in his coaching career, and CD won the game. At this point she's undefeated, and it will stay that way.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm skeptical of the test results.

Best wishes, Coach!

I don't think they recognize false positives. They just say you are asymptomatic and count use as a case. Even when you do not manifest any symptoms you have to quarantine

For sure. Was test quick test or PRC. Makes a huge difference.

He was supposed to head there tomorrow.

CD is undefeated as a coach. combining her wins as an assistant and temporary head coach she has more wins the Geno.

 

[Heytherego]

they’ve probably already retested him before putting out this kind of news

 

[JimGunther]

I do hope they re-test him. There have been false positives.

Fingers crossed.

 

[oldude]

Unbelievable. Most of all, let’s hope Geno gets well very soon. After two vaccinations, if Geno does have the virus, he should have some protection against severe infections. As for a false positive, it is a possibility. Nick Saban comes to mind.

 

[Sanka541]

A reminder of how on edge this season has been and continues to be. A positive case during the tournament would be a disaster so in that sense it’s lucky it’s happened now (get well soon coach)

Yikes. Reality decides to interrupt what has been looking more and more like it might be a feel-good, dream kind of season.

Coach had his 2nd dose on March 10th according to Alexa. The same day I did, actually. Missing one or even two games shouldn't matter. CD has coached before in his absence. I have all the confidence in the world that CD could lead this determined young team all the way to the end, if necessary. She's probably the 2nd or 3rd best coach in America. But lets hope she doesn't have to.

 

[Geesworld]

Prayers for Coach and his wife and all those clue to him that may have been in contact with him. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

 

[Wbbfan1]

UConn Team members were very fortunate that Geno did not have any contact with the team for three days prior to contacting Covid. If he tested positive sometime this week, then the Team may not been able to participate in the Tournament.

 

[LETTERL]

A reminder that this pandemic isn't completely over yet, despite declining case numbers, and that everyone needs to exercise caution.

Wishing Geno a quick recovery so he can rejoin his team. It will be strange not seeing him on the sidelines and I know it will feel odd for the players.
