Player availability for Xavier

[UofCT]

Anyone tracking the air plane or know a pilot, steward or stewardess?

Dude, no.

I just talked to the Xavier athletic department and they told me that they are waiting on UConn. I asked about a cutoff time to let fans know and they said that they want to know something by noon or hopefully sooner.

Sounds like Uconn might we waiting for another round of test results?

I am not 100% sure on the big east Covid policy now and how many active players we need... BUT lets say we did have Covid issues.... might not be the worst thing for a reschedule.

If our roster is going to be a train wreck this week please at least let us see Diggins and Johnson play a whole game

I don't think they're ready to play for 40 minutes.

No one knows.

Just some anecdotal info, but in my world of friends and family, there's a great deal of confusion over recent tests, symptoms, & infectiousness. We're getting positives, negatives, symptoms, asymptomatic, the same people testing over and over, can't figure anything out. Basically, we know or don't know who has what & when. It's all mild but confusion reigns. Can't imagine how they're figuring this out with a basketball team. Must be crazy.

My son‘s family is going through it. It seems that the home tests are reasonably accurate. The problem is a negative day one doesn’t exclude a positive on day two. The organized sports teams I’m sure are getting supervised testing.

But why should there be a confirmation or denial from UConn? It's a random tweet from an account not affiliated with UConn. If I tweeted or posted some nonsense here I wouldn't expect UConn to change anything up and release a statement immediately

Exactly. An institution responding to what are basically anonymous and unsourced statements just give those types of statements credence if it responds to them.

The problem for us has been that most of us got a "cold" at the same time, a couple tested + after 4 days, while the other 2 who got the "cold" never have even after 5 days. And if this thing is so infectious, and we really do have it, why are there still others in the household who have no symptoms and also test negative? I think the differential is probably just different levels of viral load, but at the end of the day, it's very confusing. I checked with friends who have reported and they don't know what to make of it either.

My son, his wife and his 13 and 6 year olds all have it and tested neg at first than positive on home test and went to a walk in for a confirming test. They all have cold like symptoms. All fully vaccinated. His 11 year old has cold symptoms but continues to test negative. They live in Westchester County. Another grandchild who is 15 and lives near Syracuse has it, no one else so far in his household. It first showed a few days after he ran in an indoor hs track meet.

All of the above fully vaccinated and adults with boosters.

Sounds familiar.

BTW, I know this is perhaps not the place for it, but since it is good news, I thought I'd report here that virologists in South Africa have results showing that Omicron is pushing out Delta. Getting omicron gives you neutralizing immunity against delta especially for the vaxxed. This may be interpreted to mean that getting omicron is good for you since it's mild and prevents delta. But that's not really the point. The point is that with omicron being so widespread, delta will wither away and that even the people who don't get omicron will eventually not be susceptible to delta (especially those vaxxed and boosted against delta already).

This is really good news for all of us and only the appearance of a deadlier variant than omicron will undercut it.

Science's way of getting rid of the virus? Science does work in strange ways.
