This should surprise nobody. Here's how some other schools are doing. If you dig into the data you’ll find it isn’t just students in those stats, it is all on-campus testing. There have been ZERO student-athletes who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. There have been ZERO students who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. There have been ZERO professors who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. There have been ZERO administrators who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. There have been ZERO coaches who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. There have been ZERO support staff such as security or custodians who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year. ZERO. NONE. ZILCH. NADA. Top bunks with no guard rails are more dangerous than C19. Too soon? www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5151626002Georgia football staffer, 32, released from hospital after five-week stay following coronavirus battle

The first fatality of COVID-19 among college football players. DT Jamain Stephens Jr. died from complications of COVID-19. The 6-3, 355-pound Stephens was 20 years old. Concrete facts and examples do not sway the naysayers...cue the irrational and non-factual retorts... And a healthy does of the counter-factual, too.

I suspect the 'pause' language is happy talk for shareholders. Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage." I say all the world's a stock play. Jul 17, 2020 at 11:45am Al-O-Meter said: As it looks now, AstraZeneca has said they will have a fully validated vaccine available in the UK in September. Still September for AZN? Or TOO SOON? And, just to be clear, you still calling for a viable vaccine being rolled out by November? Or is that also TOO SOON?

It's curious how the nefarious and all-powerful Deep State and lamestream media weren't brainwashing us with updates on stories like that... /sarcasm

As referenced in the article, the Covid connection originated from a statement by the high school, which has since retracted the statement as premature. Let's let things play out. It's a sad story regardless.

Perhaps one of most confusing articles I have ever read. 20-year old California University of Pennsylvania collegiate player's cause of death was retracted in a statement from his high school.

Why don't I post the rest of it for you along with the post it was in reply to. Wait. Didn't you just post yesterday that there was no way you were "going to put that [AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine] in your arm."? But you're OK with college athletes "putting that garbage in their arms?" I'm confused. I distrust the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine but that same sentiment does not apply to any other vaccines being developed by any other group. I have been sounding the alarm on the AstraZeneca vaccine from the very beginning. To be clear, I am not anti-vax. I am all for it. My wife is a biologist professionally and I am aware of some of the chatter. The researchers at the University of Texas at Austin tried the Oxford approach and had issues with it so they discontinued the approach. It was those early setbacks I had in mind when I wrote what I did back in July. If you want to disagree with me, that is fine. Don't lie about me, and don't take pieces out of context to pass it off.

The source of the claim that he died from Covid came from the high school (when we had real journalists the information would have come from a better source and/or be confirmed) so it was the high school that retracted their statement.

I apologize to the board in advance, because no one likes to read petty quibbling . . . But Al, before you go accusing someone of lying, best check your homework: Al-O-Meter on Jul 13, 2020 at 12:05pmIt is going to require a vaccine. We already have effective theraputics in dexamethasone and remdesivir. They didn't make a dent in the panic. Nothing short of a highly effective (75%+) vaccine is going to stop this crazy train. With some luck we should have one by November.While you are not yet mistaken with your November quote--- indeed, there could be a vaccine with a lotta luck-- it's highly unlikely and I will take the other side of the bet. I will go so far as to predict no effective vaccine will be rolled out next year, either---- no successful vaccine has ever previously been developed for a member of the coronavirus clade. As to your charge, please do get over yourself, sir; I did not 'edit your post'; that was the entirety of the original posting, with a follow up question. So, Al. . . are you sticking with your prediction?

So, Al. . . are you sticking with your prediction? Yes. Due to some requirements the FDA now has on their Phase 3 testing regime, I don’t know that it will be by November 1st but I don’t think it will get pushed into December. I still think November is where it happens. It will largely depend on how successful these advertisements are: www.blackenterprise.com/new-ad-encourages-minorities-to-participate-in-coronavirus-vaccine-trials/For those who don’t know, the FDA has put diversity requirements on the Phase 3 trials. This is what Trump was complaining about on Twitter in mid-August when he wrote “the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines”. The drug companies have more than enough white volunteers to get the studies done now if race were not an issue but race is an issue and Black and Latinos haven’t been willing to volunteer in high enough numbers to satisfy the quota requirements. The drug companies have been paying community organizers, influencers, and even minorities directly to get them to sign up. Now they are running an advertising campaign. It is the single biggest hold-up right now. If you qualify you should seriously consider doing it but just don’t do the AstraZeneca one.

If you dig into the data you’ll find it isn’t just students in those stats, it is all on-campus testing. There have been ZERO student-athletes who have needed hospitalization from C19 this year.

And it doesn't matter. Those people are infecting others and others are dying. Why some people can't figure out that this disease is serious is beyond me. Last week the father of a friend om mine died of coronavirus. In his lifetime he had survived three bouts with cancer extending over years. Coronavirus killed him in two weeks.

God, this just BEGS for Trump jokes!! All kidding aside, C-19 is no joke...if you don't believe it's real, do you really want to bet your life or the life of a loved one that it isn't real?

From the study, which looked at 509 hospitalized patients, most of whom had serious comorbidities: "The most frequent neurologic manifestations were myalgias [i.e., sore muscles] (44.8%), headaches (37.7%), encephalopathy [i.e., impact on brain function] (31.8%), dizziness (29.7%), dysgeusia [i.e., loss of taste, which is almost universally temporary] (15.9%), and anosmia [loss of smell, almost universally temporary] (11.4%)." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/acn3.51210These are the effects from the regular old flu that comes around every year, year after year: Body aches, headaches, dizziness, confusion, and possible complications include encephalitis, inflammation of the heart, sepsis, organ failure, sinus and ear infections, pneumonia, etc. www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/symptoms.htmMore evidence those at serious risk should consider quarantining themselves, if they wish.
