UNC Athletics shuts down

This isn't going away in 24hrs.

My kid is an athlete there and apparently it's been non stop partying from the moment the students returned to campus. Not just the students, athletes are leaving their "bubble" and are getting infected at a fairly rapid rate too.

Only going to get worse there.

Stunned. Absolutely stunned that college students can't keep things straight. Hope your kid is getting a bunch of NC tail while he's up there.

They don’t get it. I know what you are trying to say. You are saying that UNC hoops is the most important sports team at any level and that to protect your beloved UNC Tar Heels basketball squad they need to take any and every precaution.

I understand you even if I disagree but you should probably save your opinions for your account on four corners.com where you post under the user name baby blue.

Or they're shutting down to test all their athletes just like Notre Dame did for the football team today did amid their canceling of practice. Pretty sure that just over 24 hour halt by UNC isn't arbitrary. The football team there tests once per week and I think they've done it on Monday up until this point. They were gonna switch to Wednesday/Thursday during the season. You halt all athletic activity and then test your athletes to see where you stand after students came back and outbreaks happened.

thanks for agreeing with me, that would a be a part of a plan of action, like i said. instead there are dummies saying it's an attempt to lower cases at least 3 ppl above my post saying it.

They've had since March to come up with a plan and they think one more day will do it?

It sounds more like, we did nothing for 6 months thinking it would never happening and now that it is, we're f*cked.
 
I live in Chapel hill....These are biggest overreacting, academic type, wimps you are talking about ...
..... maroons shut the state down in March... still the same months later.

What if you test positive?? If your symptoms are minor, they don't even want you at the hospital... live your life and take normal precautions. If symptoms get worse then go to the hospital.

This thing is not going to go away magically even with the vaccine. Protect the vulnerable and the rest live your lives.... as you would in normal flu environment..

This insane level of hyperpanic as if we are dealing with Ebola or something, has to stop..

Therein lies the problem.... stupid academic types with no practical ideas . .. the administrators I mean.

College Kids are a low risk group and will live their lives however they want. What if they test positive?
If they have no major symptoms, they will live normal lives.... if you are high risk then stay out of their groups and take precautions and isolate....

This is pretty much going to happen everywhere. If you have large groups of people, some of them are going to have covid. Mix in a college atmosphere of partying and other social activities and you'll have outbreaks. Not having in person classes on college campuses isn't going to stop the spread of the virus. You have students living in dorms who are going to socialize. That's what they do. They're not going to hang in their dorm rooms wearing masks and isolating themselves from the other students. None of this surprises me.

It’s not about the average Student testing positive. The fear now is about the taller, heavier, larger athletes getting the virus from the average student and developing Myocarditis.
Now I think this issue is overblown as well and college kids contracting a virus. But from a liability standpoint it’s the Myocarditis that seems to have the general counsel’s office of universities scared ****less about lawsuits.
All overblown IMO but no one is asking.

Yes, but students don't live in isolation. The virus will spread to the local community and students will bring it back home to their families and their hometown.

Remember, this whole US outbreak started from foreign travel to the US including citizens returning home from abroad. When it arrived, it didn't isolate itself on our coasts where it landed. It spread itself all across the US.

We shouldn't have an expectation that college campuses will somehow do what our local, state, and federal governments haven't.
