Hoping a 14 day isolation and retesting will let her rejoin the team without missing alot of games.

Don’t know quite what to say. Hoping Megan recovers quickly. This virus is everywhere.

I wonder if she was back in the VA area instead of NYC. The positive test fraction is around 8% in VA while under 2% in NYC

Don’t know. I just looked at her twitter page to see if there was any clue where she had been lately and who she had been with. No clue there. In the past we know she had trained with Pheesa in the offseason.

We're probably under-reporting cases by 10x at least. Former CDC director I believe said 1 in 150 have/had it..Thats a big number. Thank god the mortality rate is lower than first feared.
 
Doctors are seeing clotting in all blood vessels and are concerned about long-lasting nerve and brain issues. The young, healthy people who survive Covid may not be 100% afterward. I hope no one gets it.

Concerned does not equal "worried". People care about her, that's all. And I bet her parents and grandparents are not 21 and healthy.

You said it right there Bama, her parents and grand parents are not healthy. I don't know if it is a generational thing or what, but the young folks think it is ok to have it. They do not consider the fact that they could be asymptomatic and give it to many older relatives without knowing.

I've also read of permanent scarring of the lungs. And since the virus anti-bodies don't stay in the body a second bout could be a lot more serious.
There is too much not known about this to dismiss the threat to the young.

I’m 25, in shape, and healthy. 2 weekends ago I got so sick. Literally had body chills, headache, cough, runny nose, and was super fatigue. Found out last Friday I tested positive for Covid. As of now, I am on day 7 of my quarantine and no symptoms. Even if I get back negative results I’m scared to be around my family. This is NOTHING to play with. I just wish everyone would take this serious!

Best wishes for your recovery, and kudos for thinking about the welfare of others.
 
I hope they’re doing some serious contact tracing. Per her IG stories, Megan has been around a lot of people in the past few weeks.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and minimal impact.

Megatron spent a lot of time in Houston with Barbara Turner and the John Lucas crew, for comfort and support after deciding to leave UConn

Thank you for sharing your story. Too many people have a cavalier attitude about this virus when it comes to young, healthy individuals. I sincerely hope you get well soon.

You say we're probably under reporting by 10X at least. The reported % looks correct to me. It's the person you're quoting as having said 1 in 150 have it that's wrong.

We've tested about 40,000,000 people and a little over 3,311,000 tests were positive. That's about 7.5%.

1 of 150 equates to 0.7%, which is about 10% of what's actually being reported.

That seems to indicate we're reporting the correct number but also my indicate why the person you're quoting is the "former" Director.

The portion of the population which has it ("1 in 150 have it") is a lot different than the portion of those tested who test positive ("3.3m out of 40m tested tested positive").

FWIW 1/150 (= .67%) is a little less than 3.3 mil/328 mil USA population (=1.0%) but in the same ballpark. So if the total positive tests represent 67% of the total cases currently active, then the "1/150 have it" would be spot on.

No way to say exactly, but the 1/150 is certainly plausible.

I think the way to think about it is that the 1% is too low an estimate and the 7.5% is too high

Positive tests / Total Population is certainly an underestimate since there must be positives missed by those who simply have not tested.

Positive tests / Tests taken is certainly an overestimate since most of the people who take the test have some reasons (symptoms or some contact with a person who tested positive ) so the population sample is biased towards a higher probability of positive in comparison to the entire population.

I had a friend that tested negative with swab test, but when he had blood tests done for an upcoming procedure at the VA he had the anti bodies in his system even though the swab was done the same day as the blood was drawn. VA said that he was not at risk, but they did delay his operation until just recently, after he had self quarantined for 21 days to make sure that he was not a risk to others.
