I don't see how any team can play football as long as we have the virus with us.
They tested positive day one in June. It’s a train wreck. Being 18-22 years old they only have a 99.999% chance of recovering and they also have a horrific hospitalization rate of about 0.3%
To top it off Clemson now has about 25% of the football players who will be immune to the virus - and they have to handle that happening from day one. What a shame.
Then the isolated players that tested positive. As we know, that guarantees a massive outbreak will happen - as these 23 come in contact with... no one else.
I agree. It’s impossible to imagine how this can possibly work.
And experts still aren't sure about immunity yet. So, as some are mentioning, if herd immunity's the angle, that's a really, really big risk to take without a definitive answer.
Why can there be no football?
The why is the virus being so contagious. 20 some Clemson football players tested positive; that is about 10% of the entire staff. How many more players and staff have they infected?
There is no way to have social distancing in football!
I love college football and pray for a vaccine. If it is cancelled, I will be very depressed. All the best!
