Something to keep an eye on in regards to Virus and AAC tournament

[Ajs120102]

Some journalist said there’s a chance the board of trustees votes to not let UConn travel to the tournament. While personally I think the chances are zero that actually happens just wanna put it out there that it might be a possibility.

If you're over 60 and have an underlying medical condition, don't go.

UConn took a massive PR hit after some guy tweeted that they are forcing workers to use vacation days. I thought it was quite overblown but I wouldn’t be shocked to see UConn do something to right a wrong, even in an extreme way.

AAC officials are doing their part by hosting a tournament without an audience.

Ha yes this. I was going to say they could play the AAC tournament without a live audience. No one would notice the difference.

I work for UConn. The official statement relevant to within-US travel was:

“All faculty, staff and students are strongly encouraged to cancel or postpone all non-essential foreign and domestic travel at this time, including both professional and personal.”

interpreting that as “no travel” is incorrect

Had no problem keeping 6' of separation between fans yesterday.

After the announcement on Thursday at Gampel that the AAC had suspended the after-game handshake between the teams due to coronavirus precautions, I was surprised to see no such precautions after yesterday's game at Tulane.

perhaps they took the approach that there were much worse diseases you could acquire on a trip to New Orleans even prior to the coronavirus concerns!

That's at least as good as good as what I was about to offer on the same basic theme.

Spring break in Storrs? It's the new Cancun, South Padre Island or South Beach.

I just got out of morning meetings and have had a chance to check up on newest announcements. Just saw that this morning that they did indeed say no official state business travel outside of Connecticut For state employees. UConn hasn’t officially updated their info so I’m not sure if they are going to keep the previous language or make and even stronger statement about restricting student travel. So at this time, it seems that the absolute travel restrictions might only officially apply to the coaching staff…with that being able to be subject to a review and case by case approval process.

I’ve spent spring break at storrs and tbh I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

All cleared up

Not the greatest marketing slogan I've heard but in times like this, I guess roll with it.

Just check the Biogen coronavirus cases to see how easily this thing can spread.

The coronavirus panic is dumb

I actually feel safer traveling now that everyone is actually washing their hands for once.

Hand hockey, I'm assuming across all sports, said they can't remove their gloves for the post game handshake

I guessing other sports will just suspend it all together
