Since you seem to have a science background in viruses can you explain to us laypeople how the vaccine won't slow down the virus? Everything I've read is it will. Obviously no virus is completely going away.

May 22, 2020 — There will be a vaccine, there will be different cures, but it will not be completely eradicated - a model of HIV / AIDS or tuberculosis, the coronavirus epidemic makes this possibility easy to imagine, says a professor of medical history at Yale University in the United States.
That’s from a professor at Yale. This virus isn’t going anywhere. You may not hear it on the news because they don’t want to scare you but it’s not going away......

Sorry to say but this is just the 1 year I can’t be a fan. I’ll still watch but this whole topsy turvy roller coaster schedule has turned me off. I do think they should play this year too. I’ll still be on the board btw. I just cant deal with all the doom and gloom and the defense of coach K and being against UConn playing.

Au contraire.

The Covid19 reverse jinx is a high degree of difficulty, dangerous move that bears little semblance to its distant cousin the basic reverse jinx. Recently attempted by North Korea, it didn't end well.

Lots of things are “easy to imagine”. That’s why Hollywood exists. I find it easy to imagine a world without Yale or Harvard professors.
 
So Scoe, on a particular Monday night if the good guys are playing you will be watching reruns of Hogan's Heroes on you tube?

This is so ridiculous.
  1. May 22 was long before covid vaccines achieved a 95% efficacy rate.
  2. Even in that article, she says it's "conceivable" this could happen, not that it will happen.
  3. There is no vaccine for HIV/AIDS.
  4. The TB vaccine reduces the chance of infection by just 20%, which is why TB hasn't been eradicated.
The TB vaccine used around the world, known as Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG), reduces the chance of infection by 20 percent. A truly effective vaccine, like the one for measles, reduces infection by 95 percent or more.

Well what you wrote makes no sense and wasn't persuasive. No offense, you can have any opinions you want, but I'm just going to dismiss all of your posts on this topic.

You’re interpreting that all wrong. Does AIDS/HIV or TB keep you from living your life? He’s saying it will still be around but will have a vaccine (like TB).

Our new AD is CT’s failed Health Commissioner. So it’s understandable how you feel. Who on Earth thought it was a great idea to let her schedule our season? She couldn’t even keep a nursing home open in Norwich.

In fairness, since Dave is letting her do his job, he should give her 1/2 his salary. It’s only fair.

It’s not my policy that’s created this mess. You and the UConn AD have been riding this Titanic down not me. This is a woman who couldn’t even keep a nursing home open in Norwich. And we expect her to guide us through this challenging season?

Quite the contrary. By building my immune system, nose hygiene, mouthwash with alcohol and saliene in the eyes - I have stayed healthy and are ready for games. About to wash down a vitamin with OJ.

You are literally washing your hands from the situation that you and folks sharing your POV created, nice.

What in the world are you rambling on about now?

The CT Health Commissioner with her 14 day rule (twice the CDC guideline) is killing our season as efficiently as she’s killed patients in nursing homes with her policies.
Why do we ask such an incompetent person for advice? Wake up Husky Nation!
