The poor coordination is the fault of individual states [Va is the worst/last of 50] not the US Health Care System. The Federal Government [Trump] took the lead in getting the vaccines developed in record time. But the distribution and vaccination process was always the responsibility of each individual states. Some states are doing a good job and some states are not.

As of today, Virginia is now 12th on the list of percentage of doses administered by state, at 68.9%. So, the machine got in gear.

Delaware State acquired Wesley College then advised Wesley College (D3) will close their entire athletics department after the spring 2021 season.

Wasn't sure the best thread to put this, but...

CAA Schedule this week is:

Wed - Northeastern @ UNC
Thu - W&M/Elon
Sat - W&M/Elon

Every single other game is postponed due to Covid protocols.

I don't like it, but I honestly think the CAA should consider cancelling the conference tournament and bubble up the league champion for 2 weeks prior to the NCAA tourney.

Amazing that NE is traveling to UNC! UNC game with VPI postponed due to Covid so win-win. Hope Northeastern pulls upset in Chapel Hill. Game TV on ACCX at 7pm.

NCAA should have forced a shortened regular season for all conferences, THEN have all conference tournament teams quarantine within their own conference-wide 2week bubble beforehand, which would then be continued for one week at regional bubbles and so forth.

Tough to do 3 weeks of quarantine for colleges I'd think especially since many of them are in person classes

W&M likely needs to win both games this weekend to ensure finishing in the top 6. Every weekend at this point is uncertain as to whether the games are played. 6-4, .600 winning percentage would put the Tribe in decent position. .500 or less and they might fall behind Drexel.

Drexel plays JMU twice. I'd say they have a better chance to lose both than win both. We should be no worse than 1-3 in our last four games which gets us to 5-7. Drexel would be 4-6 if they split. I don't see us come in any worse than 6.

Gov Northam announced that starting Monday up to 250 people are allowed to attend outdoor sporting events. I know it is more with an eye towards high schools, but it is a step in the right direction.

Shouldn't it be a percentage of capacity vice 250 flat? 250 people at a HS stadium isn't the same as 250 at a VT football game.

Not sure if there is more to it. The 250 number was lifted directly from his presser.

Only one JMU Drexel game as we played the first a few weeks ago. Single game on the 28th in H'burg.

Thanks for the update. Drexel and the CAA schedule show two games, JMUs shows one.

That means that we can go watch the Tribe play in Indiana after we win the CAA tournament!!

After seeing on my local news about issues the University of MD is having with Covid, I decided to revisit the W&M Covid dashboard. I haven't been there in a while, and for the most part, we seem to be handling it fairly well.
