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

How did you reach that conclusion?

Based on timing I think the "party" was the Marquette game. What is odd is that only one player from Marquette has reported as positive and didn't play in the game against us.

I think we're well past the part of this pandemic where getting Covid is viewed as some black mark on the person who gets it

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.

The Governor just stated in a news conference that all public schools are open and in person. If k-12 kids are in school- why isn't the State University open???

If you have been out around people in the last month you have been exposed to covid. You either got it, got lucky, or the vaccine protected you and/or you didn’t know you had it. If you are vaccinated, in most cases it’s a cold now. It shouldn’t be treated the same as it was in 2020 when slowing the spread to protect the vulnerable was the right thing to do.

We have been through this before, gotta find a way.

Not to get this thread killed, but I really don't think some people quite get how contagious this is now. Think Measles. There isn't much anybody can do about it, no need for any behavior shaming for the team or anybody else.

yes but the doctors have said it’s not bad and can be treated at home. It goes away very quickly

I am sorry to hear about everyone getting sick. These are kids and families that work in profession where it is nearly impossible to avoid the slight contact that the omicron variant seems to need. Thank goodness for vaccination and what seems to be less virulence to go along with that high transmissibility. Happy New Year all and stay safe

I am related to several people who live all over the USA who have or had Omicron Spreads like wildfire. I learned today of a friend whose 2 year old has it. That's really scary.

Yeah, I have yet to test positive and haven’t been sick since early January 2020 [knocking on wood], but at this point I believe that I either had it then, have had it since or that there is something about my constitution that prevents me from getting it. Still, I expect that I will get Omicron or that I already have. I’ve been mindful but not vigilant, but I don’t think either is going to cut it for this variant.

Like everyone else, I am just hopeful that this is beginning of the end.

Yep.. unless it doesn't. Which, unfortunately, is still the case for many people.

I said the same about myself. I've been to bars, breweries, concerts, sports events, home parties, all of that, avoiding only the worse places (small, indoors, crowded). I'm fortunate to work at home, so risk is limited from that. Nothing. Not even a cold. Then it got me and I never even had to leave the house.

But, as an overweight 50+ guy that had the misfortune of a booster while positive, I still survived just fine at home, even if it wasn't pleasant. So there's no reason for most to fear it.
