Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3744437, member: 7511"] So we’re heading into Thanksgiving during a pandemic. The CDC and other experts have advised against travel and requested that holiday gatherings be limited to 10 people or less. UConn is requiring that any student leaving campus to travel home for Thanksgiving test negative prior to departure. So far, of approximately 7000 students, 56 have tested positive: less than 1%. Of those 56 positive tests, 80% were asymptomatic. With the Huskies first game two days after Thanksgiving, I am assuming that the team will all remain on campus. This raises the question of what plans UConn players have for Thanksgiving? In the past, players who did not return home for Thanksgiving were always welcome for the feast at Geno & Kathy’s. With 11 players, that presents something of a dilemma in light of the 10 person guideline. On the other hand, these 11 players have been together with Geno and his staff every day for weeks, so it’s unlikely the risk would be any greater than daily practices. Just one more dilemma during this difficult year. [/QUOTE]
