I honestly believe the entire team quarantine is going to have to change

True, March testing numbers were painfully low. But early April these pop up site and clinics were taking off. Just did a Google search to refresh my memory on Mahoning Valley testing. 1000 in Austintown in one day. Several hundred in Columbiana and Campbell. Imagine bigger areas in the state. I really think you're underestimating non hospital testing. That's including prisons and nursing homes.

This is why they let adults make the decisions. Was looking forward to seeing Lasalle play this year. Unfortunately that's not going to happen.
Do you really think 1500 Positive for 30,000 tests is cause for concern?

No I dont. I posted earlier on another topic that the key is deaths and ICU admits. As long as those numbers dont skyrocket we will be fine. I dont understand shutting down programs with 1 positive. Isolate and quarantine that athlete. Remain vigilant on checking other athletes. Make sure you clean common areas thoroughly. Strongly consider professional cleaners (more than once). Notify families via group email with respect to privacy to the positive covid athlete.

Let's work through this scenario. One player has tested positive. Let's assume the test is correct.
Since it doesn't show immediately, there have probably been at least a few days of contact practices. HIIPA and FERPA now invoke. You can't say, "hey, anyone that had contact with such and such, you now have to quarantine."
How do you not shut down?
Yes. Except those who don't. And of course all the young people losing up to 30% of their lung function after recovery. Those people too.

Unfortunately you are probably correct.
I've not read of a single epidemiologist who shares that belief.
I hope so as well.
I have.
Keep in mind that the current fatality rate calculated as a percentage is not a very good way to compare covid to the flu because even with increased testing the numerator for covid is still artificially low. We won't know until a year from now the true mortality rate of covid but it's been going down (as expected) as testing has increased and is now approaching levels in the under 45 age group equal to or less then that seen for the seasonal flu.
Here's a link to total deaths as a function of age from the CDC:
COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics
Tabulated data on provisional COVID-19 deaths by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, and comorbidities. Also includes an index of state-level and county-level mortality data available for download.
www.cdc.gov
Check out the graph under age/sex to see how few under 18 & under 45 have died from the covid19
Here's a link to total flu deaths by age.
Estimated Flu-Related Illnesses, Medical Visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths in the United States — 2017–2018 Flu Season | CDC
Links to key resources on the burden of influenza - CDC
www.cdc.gov
In the nasty flu season of 2017/18 a total of 528 kids from 5 - 17 died from the flu.
Keep in mind that covid deaths are being counted with a much higher sensitivity then flu deaths. That is anyone who dies with a covid infection is listed in the data base. This has likely led to a pretty big inflation ion covid deaths versus yearly flu deaths.
Most calculations I have seen is that for the kids (5 - 18) who will be playing sports the fatality & hospitalization rates for covid infection is significantly lower then what we would see with the yearly flu.

DeWine says next 30 days are critical to hs football.

You want to see football? Wash your hands, WEAR A MASK, and stay out of crowded indoor places. Otherwise, " Bye, bye, fall sports." If we all don't get some discipline and get this thing under control, no amount of complaining will start the season.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine: Next 30 days will determine if Friday night high school football happens this season
During his press briefing on Thursday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine spoke about how what happens in the next month could impact whether or not high school football can happen.

Are you new here? This whole things a hoax to get football across the country moved to the Spring.
Now that the BIG 10 has canceled all non conference games it is looking more and more like the season will not start until maybe the second week in September. This is a desperate attempt to buy a little more time before pulling the plug. Even OSU AD is skeptical now that we will see any fall football at any level. GBM

It is much more important to be right than to do the right thing for too many people. Summit county just went into the mandatory mask wearing in public category .
