Well, Marquette was breathing heavy on our guys.

Passive Biological warfare?

No it's not. The vaccine cuts down on severe outcomes, not getting the disease.

The vaccines do both. They protect people by blocking the acquisition of the disease by some people and also reduce the effects of virus for other people.

 

[kemba]

I don’t understand this

Probably some guys who are sicker might not be fully ready to go either still symptomatic or just need to ramp up conditioning

 

[Hi-Low]

Let's hope you can't catch Omicron twice in 3 months. Once past this at least we'll have 9 players from mid-Jan on so fingers crossed our final pause.

 

[2north]

9 players (plus at least one coach) from a team that is 100% vaccinated (plus boosters).

Well that's a head scratcher...

Thanks for ruining another thread.

 

[kansashusky]

What a mess. Basically starting from scratch with taking 2 plus weeks off.

 

[Kolumbo]

I don't understand any of it. Between spring pollen, summer sun, fall leaves, winter chill, I have mild symptoms all the time.

I know this has been said about 2,000 times over the last 5 years or so, but we have the absolute worst luck with players missing games because of injury and Covid. It’s really hard to wrap my head around. Im sure there is a stat somewhere, but I guarantee we lead the country in starters minutes missed due to Injury/Covid.

This Zoom call was utterly depressing. I suppose the only positives were

1) Geez, with so many positive Covid cases now, we should be in the clear for the rest of the season.

2) Additional time for Adama to heal (though Dan even lamented that it will be difficult to get his core and cardio back up to speed).

 

[UConnSwag11]

Does this affect the team?

 

[Scoe]

I guess our next game is in March see ya then.

God, you're terrible.

I don’t get this stuff with what Hurley was saying in regards to your second point. Don’t we have a strength staff? His legs are fine. There’s no reason his cardio should be an issue. That’s just an excuse.

 

[Vuce]

Hope we get through the rest of the season unscathed. I just read the US set a worldwide single day record today of Covid cases. Cases should continue to spike through the middle and end of January so I assume other programs will be postponing games and schedules will be further messed up. Fingers crossed that we can play the full schedule even if it means extending the season by a week or two.

…hopefully other teams don’t get it down the road

 

[TeasenDonut]

No, the team has already returned to campus.

 

[goskis2018]

Does this affect the team?

Wow. I love UConn, but I am so grateful I finished my 4 years before all of this madness unfolded. My younger brother (currently a senior) is at Clemson, his schooling was only impacted by this plague in the spring of 2020. Current students have been absolutely shafted.

Plus not everyone likely got sick/tested positive on the same day, so the time frame is different for each person. And it might be different for people who are symptomatic vs asymptomatic.

 

[MTBingNinja]

In general, I don’t think people want to test asymptomatic people. The numbers would be much more staggering.

 

[HuskyHawk]

The timeline is really disappointing. I had hoped they could apply the 5 days and be ready for the 8th. Now he's talking about the 12th? Even if they tested positive tomorrow they'd be ready by the 12th. I don't get it. I am glad they are mostly asymptomatic or lightly symptomatic, as you'd expect from young athletes.

I'm hoping this wave burns out quickly as it seems to have in South Africa. Can't continue long at this rate of spread. This could be the end.

Amen to that. Hopefully Jan - April has no more interruptions.

Damn what the team went to a covid party ? They are obviously not taking proper care of themselves .
