Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 3739616, member: 794"] I don't know the science on this, so it's a non-loaded question: What's the difference in probability of catching a true positive case in the following two situations, both where a player is ID'd as a close contact of someone who tests positive: - Close contacts quarantine and test daily for 7 days - Close contacts quarantine and test at the end of 14 days Is the full 14 days a matter of reducing risk by a miniscule percent or is it that in scenario 1 you're ~50% likely to detect a positive and scenario 2 you're 99.999999% likely? The problem with getting a season in seems to be the quarantine for close contacts. How is it that football is going off right now when some players and coaches test positive but the whole team does not shut down? [/QUOTE]
