Quote:The Irish announced on Monday that 18 players had tested positive in its latest round of coronavirus testing — which were conducted between Tuesday and Saturday.

Seven of those 18 players were already in quarantine after being “previously identified close contacts.” The program now has 25 total players in isolation and another 14 in quarantine related to contact tracing.

Good thing they already had this week off, or they would have had to cancel for sure.

Looks like FSU students are doing their part to try to make sure the Noles don't have to lose to play the Irish...

The number of ND players testing positive equals one half of the positive tests on the entire campus.

Wow!

Notre Dame will resume team practices Wednesday after reporting 18 positive coronavirus tests on Monday, but the program has changed the way it will eat its pregame meals and will now have rapid antigen tests available on the sideline because of lessons learned from their outbreak, coach Brian Kelly told ESPN on Tuesday.

Kelly said team doctors determined that the outbreak, which resulted in 25 players in isolation and 14 others in quarantine, stemmed from two events surrounding the Sept. 19 game against South Florida: eating their pregame meal together, and one player who threw up on the sideline during the game and was treated for dehydration.

Kelly said the change in routine from summer camp to game week revealed new challenges that could have only been discovered with the start of the season.

"Throughout our entire time together, we had not had one meal where we sat down together," Kelly said. "Everything was grab and go. We get into our game situation where we have pregame meal together, and that cost us. Big. We had somebody who was asymptomatic, and it spread like wildfire throughout our meeting area where we were eating and then it got guys in contact tracing."

Ah, dining with a large group...

"(CNN)Adults who tested positive for Covid-19 were approximately twice as likely to have reported dining at a restaurant in the 14 days before becoming ill than those who tested negative" [LINK]

Our President Father Jenkins tested positive today.

BREAKING: University President Fr. John Jenkins tested positive for COVID-19.

Report to come.

He went to the Rose Garden party regarding the Supreme Court nominee.

He was seen and filmed without a mask and mingling with people and shaking hands in a crowd.

Senator Mike Lee of Utah was also there. He just tested positive for Covid-19, too.

There will likely be others. That was a very stupid idea.

Some NFL teams thought the same thing, but the flaw is that you CAN HAVE COVID-19 for a few days without testing positive.

If you're going to rely strictly on testing negative, you MUST quarantine for at least a few days after the test... or, just quarantine for 14 days and no need to test (but testing negative doesn't mean you don't need to quarantine - that thinking is just wrong).

The ACC method that seems to work is this: 1. test, then self-quarantine; 2. wait a few days, then test again. IF both are negative, you're probably ok.

On the other hand, it only takes one infected person who slips in to the group to infect them all... I don't know that can be ruled out yet either.

He could have worn a mask or practiced social distancing.

Instead, he closely mingled in a crowd and shook hands with countless other similarly unprotected people.

Hell, that Rose Garden gala event has effectively infected and hamstrung the White House, the Trump Campaign and the upper reaches of the Republican Party.

Even a senior administration official admits that the Covid outbreak amongst these people likely occurred at the Supreme Court announcement.

It was stupid, irresponsible conduct.

It was also grossly hypocritical conduct by someone who threatened ND's student body with penalties if they violated Covid safeguards.

In a bit of karma, ND's students have used a website set up for them to rat out each other to "turn in" Father Jenkins a bunch of times.
