Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
I'm with Chupamedia on this. First, define "unreliable". Second, show me the data.Chupamedia wrote: ↑April 29th, 2020, 4:04 pmI’d like to see some data on that. I work for a company that makes tests that are searching for specific antibodies, mainly for cancer detection. We don’t make COVID kits, but an 85% false positive test is unheard of. How would a test find an antibody that does not exist in the host? If you have some information I would like to read about how these are failing at that rate.bpd wrote:Here is the thing about most anti-body tests. They suck and are unreliable.

When you say a test is unreliable, are you talking about sensitivity or specificity? Sensitivity is the ability of a test to detect the disease if it is present; roughly, a low false negative rate. Specificity is roughly a low false positive rate. There tends to be a yin and yang between sensitivity and specificity; more specific tests tend to be less sensitive, and vice versa. Each has their place in laboratory diagnostics. Most commercially available antibody tests are very good, with both sensitivity and specificity running well above 90%. So which are you talking about?

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
It was reported yesterday (don't remember where I saw it) that Quest had the actual first best test that was now available this week. That most of the the other tests were unreliable. My wife works for a healthcare company based in Arizona (we live in Colorado) and they had a conference call about the test 2 weeks ago. The person in charge said there were so many unreliable tests because most tests are designed to test for a coronavirus, not Covid 19. Well most people have had a coronavirus over the last 6 months via a cold or flu...etc... That fouled a lot of things up.Chupamedia wrote: ↑April 29th, 2020, 4:04 pmI’d like to see some data on that.

Look, are we going to get better anti-body tests and more of them, I hope so and would imagine so over the next couple of months. Do a lot more people have or had it then what is being tested? Of course. Instead of .7% of the country having it, most areas probably have 6-10%, while NYC has around 20%. I am hopeful of a vaccine by Jan/Feb and have read some encouraging information the last couple days about that. That is why I think basketball season should move to the winter.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Which is a more important cause, donating my feces to further the work for Covid-19 testing or donating it to hipster to send a care package to Duryea? I already offered in the basketball thread to add to the pile for Duryea, but as luck would have it, I just checked my private messages and hipster didn’t take me up on it, so I am more than happy to take a dump to help save lives (or more importantly—to help us have a college football and basketball season). Just let me know where to send it.ratofallaggies wrote: ↑April 29th, 2020, 3:52 pmOk, I'll play. That may all very well be true. Anti-body test may be terribly innacurate. But there's something to be said about the fecal matter tests that indicate the same regarding a much higher infected rate, and the controled studies performed by Stanford, the NBA, or Cruise ships on all people (not just those showing symptoms) that confirms a much higher infected rate. Also sheer numbers we have of a state with 3M people and only about 4k confirmed cases.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
The great thing is that you don't have to even send it. They're doing the work to find it themselves.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
I'm worried that it's still too early to be taking down the restrictions. Glad we are just easing out of restrictions a little at a time here in the CA Bay Area. My County shelter in place has been extended to May 30, but the golf courses can open next week, so there are carefully measured actions being taken.
Right now the mindset I see ( I've had it myself) is that cova's not that bad, cmon, open up already, what's the big deal? Then I started thinking of some similar health situations I've encountered. People who rely on medications to avoid serious illness (especially mental)? After a period of time they wonder why they are taking the medication because they don't have any of the old symptoms and the meds they take usually have serious undesirable side effects. Like shelter in place has helped lower the curve, but has a negative effect on our economy..
So here we are socially distancing, staying at home and we're doing pretty good. Like a patient who is taking medication and is successfully avoiding illness. Some places are in great shape, others seem to be improving.
So are we ready to stop taking the meds? The illness is still there just waiting for an opportunity. That choice doesn't seem logical to me at this point

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Unless you're willing to shut it all down for the next 12-18 months and bankrupt the country to the point we end up a third world country, opening up May 1 or November 1, the health implications are the same.El Sapo wrote: ↑April 30th, 2020, 1:37 pmI'm worried that it's still too early to be taking down the restrictions.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Utah is faring better and opening up more quickly than other states, and was never as restrictive as most. The fascinating question will be if some schools/conferences are open for business/football and others aren't. Do you re-schedule with teams that will play? I could see Utah giving the green light to open up universities, thus allowing sports to play, while a state like CA may be more stubborn to do so.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
I am confident utah state will be back to school by end of summer and fall semester. The problem is the other states and schools. It only takes one to not open that messes over everything.
Unless we want bankrupt everything we need to open up everything now. The virus isnt going anywhere so we need to learn to live with it until a vaccine is ready.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
What you all aren't factoring in is that there's basically going to be a 6 week practice requirement before any games. https://watchstadium.com/ncaas-football ... 4-27-2020/
For schools like the ones in California, Oregon, & Washington, I have a hard time envisioning these kids being allowed to live on campus and practice in mid July.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
I could definitely see the PAC12 "making a stand" and refusing to play this year. Not surprised at all to hear the SEC and teams from the Big 12 talking about playing.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Agreed. I have seen plenty of people successfully gain weight in less than 6 weeks. Just tell players to eat more chips, cookies, and churros now to get a jump start on things. No need to wait until 6 weeks before the season starts.aggies22 wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 11:22 amI don't really get this 6-week thing?

You can bet on each strength and conditioning program ensuring that each athlete understands and has a program to follow to ensure they're conditioned by the time the go ahead is given.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 11:32 amConditioning. 2 weeks to get conditioned before "practices" start.aggies22 wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 11:22 amI don't really get this 6-week thing?

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
I know for a fact that each kid on the team has already been handed down a workout plan to follow while they are waiting this thing out. If a kid shows up needing to condition he deserves to be left behind and fall down the depth chart.GameFAQSAggie wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 11:32 amConditioning. 2 weeks to get conditioned before "practices" start.aggies22 wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 11:22 amI don't really get this 6-week thing?

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Just saw that for all of Cache County, there has only been 43 covid 19 cases with something like 6 hospitalizations. It seems to me that safeguards can be put in place with that low of incidence. We are also finding out that there are lots of individuals that have had the virus with no symptoms and it has been more widespread than originally thought. I think there will be football in September. I also think that those of us who have cancer or other immune deficiencies will have to watch on tv while the young and healthy get to watch live.

Part of me worries they'll start the season, but a few players will get Covid 19 and then they'll shut it all down again.

Conceptually, this is where it's going. I believe in herd immunity. Unfortunately, those metabolically fragile (obese, (pre)diabetes, cardio and respiratory issues) constitutes 88% of those over 50 yrs old. Think of how many older season ticket holders we have. That's a lot of empty west side blue seats.GUS wrote: ↑April 27th, 2020, 7:10 pmNews has been coming out that covid19 is less deadly and more wide spread than originally thought. I have a feeling that the non-at-risk people will be out and about like normal within the next 3-4 weeks. Sporting events will take place with safe guards in place. Those of us who have things that make us at risk to the disease will see restrictions continue to some extent. Football and basketball will take place.
Word to the wise, get your health in check and attend these games. The best immunity to good health. Be smart!!

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
Take this with a grain of salt but I just received an email from the university.
“We are sorry to inform you Sports Management, MSLE 3850.001, has been cancelled for Fall 2020.
Since there will be no athletic events on campus nor profession sports participation during Fall semester due to Covid 19, Professor Eric Schulz would be very limited in opportunities he typically provides this class.”
Not sure if that’s official word or just speculation on the university’s part.

Likely if they do decide to play, FB is an extreme contact sport, if you've ever been at the bottom of a pile you know what I mean.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 7:59 pmPart of me worries they'll start the season, but a few players will get Covid 19 and then they'll shut it all down again.

Re: When will we know if there will be a season?
And that is the question the NCAA and pro leagues have to come to grips with. If they decide to play there will be players and coaches who get Covid 19. Knowing that will they decide to play anyway and just accept that this is the new normal and part of the risk for the foreseeable future or are we just going to shut down sports until there is a vaccine?ViAggie wrote: ↑May 4th, 2020, 2:00 pmLikely if they do decide to play, FB is an extreme contact sport, if you've ever been at the bottom of a pile you know what I mean.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑May 1st, 2020, 7:59 pmPart of me worries they'll start the season, but a few players will get Covid 19 and then they'll shut it all down again.
I'm for playing and just using precautions such as limited fan attendance, but I can see how leagues won't want to get sued into oblivion by deciding to go forward.

When the SEC says they are playing football then we'll know there will be a season.
