The article I read DID make it sound like our athletics department was caught off-guard when someone found out about the infections and asked them about it. Bad news only gets worse when someone else gets the chance to tell it.

Pretty sure neither of you have any hand in crafting health polices for our team. MOST of us are relieved that is the case.
$$ = resources = food, and shelter = survival, so yes. It turns out people need those things to live.
99% chance none of them even get sick, other than a slight cough or runny nose. Those of you who are still scared to go outside, stay in the closet and we will bring you more sun block to eat.
Ok. What did you disagree with that I posted? Do you think we should base our plan around message board posters? Or do you think we should intentionally infect the entire team?
Pretty sure I didn’t recommend any policies. What are you complaining about exactly?
Money is needed for general human survival, true, but things like football that are there for our entertainment is not based on survival.
This is not for survival.
This bully mentality not only doesn't even come close to contributing to the conversation, but is a completely pathetic, false narrative and does nothing to help.
Same goes for saying if someone is positive with Covid, has a runny nose or cough, and isn't sick. That's factually incorrect.
I think nobody on this board has the expertise or experience on anything virus related, or health policy related for our ISU athletes and both extremes just add more vitriol, emotion and uneducated opinions to the mix.
Yeah I agree. That’s why I’m confused why your post implied I was telling them how to handle policy. I was disagreeing with a poster who did.
I meant it as more of a general comment. I include my "helpful" posts that leak out once in a while as well.
While immunity may not exist for those already infected. If someone has already had an infection the body remembers how to manufacture the antibodies.
So if someone has already had Covid their body will produce antibodies quicker the 2nd time around.
The original post by cyclonevet was referring to $$ in general, not specifically $$ in college football.
I'm disappointed that Paschen's entirely speculative comments about ISU's possible handling of the situation were quoted and included in the story. But that's what happens when you're ISU and not Iowa.
The problem is, by that logic all non-essential businesses should stay shut down since they aren't needed for survival. How long should they stay shut down for? 18 months? Until we have a vaccine? We shut down non-essential businesses for 2-3 months (depending on the state) and it led to the fastest unemployment increase in known history and 20% unemployment. Imagine what that would look like with another 18 months.
Also, is playing football more dangerous than attending classes and living around campus in general for the athletes? I wouldn't think so.
I should have known better. I couldn’t get past the first page of this thread without stupidIty and willful ignorance tearing their heads.
Seriously. COVID-19 has been a real thing for at least six months now, and some people still haven’t bothered take the time to learn actual facts?
