Knock it off folks covid is serious and it a matter of time before a college athlete get seriously sick or dies!!! Outbreaks on Tulane Campus could effect the team, soon!!

Can LSU play Alabama this weekend?
The number of LSU football players in quarantine has raised questions about if the Tigers can play Alabama as scheduled this weekend.

A small number of positive cases among LSU football players has forced several others into quarantine, and, while LSU (2-3) is still scheduled to host No. 1 Alabama (6-0) at 5 p.m. Saturday in Tiger Stadium, a familiar conversation between the school and the Southeastern Conference has begun about whether the game can be played.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron told reporters Monday afternoon that he was informed last week that some football players tested positive for COVID-19. Orgeron did not go into detail about how many and which players were involved, but he said there is a “high” number of players going into quarantine, including starters, and hinted that the quarterback position was involved.

True freshman TJ Finley is LSU’s only scholarship quarterback available for the Alabama game, a source confirmed with The Advocate, and the Tigers also do not have any scholarship tight ends available. At least one wide receiver has also been ruled out.

Hilarious. From 1% to 1.6%
Lock those kids up. Send them home for virtual learning.
Tulane University President Mike Fitts sent a letter from the campus next door, telling students and staff that a rise in coronavirus cases there had forced a tightening of on-campus restrictions and led officials to increase undergraduate student testing to three times a week.

At Tulane, where every undergraduate student had been tested twice a week since earlier in October, the school recorded 78 new cases on Nov. 6, the highest single day since the start of the fall semester.

There were 205 active cases at Tulane as of Sunday and another 110 students were in quarantine for exposure. Throughout October new cases had ranged between zero to 15 a day.
How many Tulane students died from Covid? :?:
Must be a bunch since you are so concerned about the new case count. :shock:
How ignorant, is dying your only concern, hospitalizations, ICU, long term lung and heart damage does not concern you, such shallow thinking and pathetic. Can you see beyond the tip of your nose. Get on a ventilator and survive would that make you happy, the dumbing down of American thought process is frightening!!!

190 New cases in New Orleans just yesterday as Cantrell relaxed restrictions, Boy people are their own worst enemies, as Tulane students are worried that so many of their friends partied for Halloween off and on campus with large parties and on Bourbon Street with no mask wearing.

Read that study, gbg. Read it. It doesn't say that 40% of people that had covid have mental health issues. It says 40% of respondents to a survey conducted in June reported symptoms of mental health issues from covid AND FROM THE MEASURES TAKEN (ie: lockdown, social distancing, states closing borders, job loss, etc) during the pandemic.

We have this thread to talk about the virus. Please let's keep discussion about it here, and not post the same stuff in three or four (or more) other threads. People intentionally don't read this thread because they've had enough, don't try to force feed them YOUR beliefs. I, too, don't like when people laugh off or otherwise discount the virus. But I also choose to ignore it for stretches of time for my own sanity. I'm sure others here do as well. So please let's limit discussion to this thread so we know where to go if we want to read about Covid and not have to face it in other threads.

Even though I disagree with MicMan concerning his culinary favorite (Bud's Broiler), there is an element of truth in what he says:

Research has shown that people are much less likely to change their minds on a topic when they feel threatened, anxious or emotional. (Does this sound like every American's response to the political challenges concerning the sitting POTUS?)

Example: Most folks believe that Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. However, when presented with the fact that nearly 70 years before Edison, Humphrey Davy demonstrated an electric lamp to the Royal Society, they are likely to reevaluate and are often willing to change their minds.

Present the same group of people with a statement such as "there is no evidence of significant vote tampering in the recent election" or "President Trump's weak response to the pandemic contributed to the large number of COVID deaths". You should not be surprised that few minds will be changed because of emotional attachments and anxieties resulting from challenges to core beliefs.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? It's usually a waste of time challenging political beliefs...and yes, much of the COVID argument is dealing with political bias. Unless people choose to question their own positions, presenting a counter argument will only be met with exasperation and cause people to dig in their heels.

I like to think of it like this: A wise man doesn't need advice and a fool won't take it. Don't waste your time giving it unless asked.

I think the biggest problem with the virus is actually political. The Democrats successfully used it to hurt Trump. Trump actually did everything he could do without completely destroying the working economy. He initially closed the border from countries with the virus. He built temporary hospital and hospital ships that many went unused. He got tons of ventilators that went unused. He got a trillion dollar stimulus to those most affected. He paid for free testing and treatments. He fast tracked vaccines and other preventatives. He didn’t mandate mask nation wide he left that up to each state. But somehow this China virus is his fault. People are so gullible it’s sad.
Millions lost jobs for the sake of trying to slow the spread. Some of those jobs may never come back. Most people that died were over 80 and in nursing home or had pre-conditions. 98% people don’t die.

As predicted by many.
CNN homepage headlines moments ago:
US SURPASSES 10 MILLION COVID CASES

It’s easy to present a convincing argument when you make up your facts.

FWIW, it’s now Biden’s problem. You no longer have to ignore the case count to defend the Trump presidency. You can state the actual numbers and blame Biden.
It’s easy to present a convincing argument when you cherry pick information to support your talk track—as you like to do Lantern. We’re in the full bloom of the Second Wave, and media coverage won’t match the panic mongering the media fed us during the summer surge. Of course that could quickly change if Trump’s legal challenges begin to threaten the media’s coronation of Biden.

Exactly. I won a $100 bet with a Tiger friend that O would figure a way out of playing BAMA.
All you need is one player test positive and you can claim 30 players were around him so they have to quarantine. Best coaching move he made all season.

It has been proven people get symptoms of Brain Fog from Covid, its proven covid causes blood clotting that effects the heart and other organs in the body. Common sense when the blood flow is reduced to the brain, strokes or clots it gets damaged, so this report of long term mental issues depression, and dementia does not surprise me someone that thinks beyond the tip of his nose. Try it then no one could fool you like the President has.

At least he gives a damn.

All these people that want to say the virus is no big deal should have someone close to them come down with it. Watch them age 20 years in a week. Pray that your loved one doesn't die. Or worse, get Long Haul Covid. Try being on a ventilator for an hour. It's possibly worse than death. But WTF, they think this: only 3% of us will suffer. So long as it's not someone close to me, or me, why should anyone care? Hell, only 100 times as many Americans have died from this as died from the attacks of 9/11. And that was over in a day. This is going on for 9 months now. With no end in sight. Why bother? Unless the covid lottery goes against me, screw the rest of the population, I'm living my life.
He cared. But he cared more about letting people make their own choices free from rulers. Had he locked down everyone then you’d have people calling him a King. He can’t win either way. The virus is part of life. People need to access their risk and live accordingly. One death is too many but that’s not Trumps fault.
I had it and so did most of my relatives. We had it easy. Slight fever and no taste and smell for a few days.
And I’m in the high risk group.
Same here, Show Me. Wife and I are in our early 60s. Both of us had it. No fever. Two days of nasal congestion and a couple of weeks with no smell. That was it. And she's probably more of a high risk than most people. She's had pneumonia a half dozen times, was on a vent twice in an 18 month period, and spent over six years on disability because of it and other issues. Do SOME people get more severe cases? Yes. Do SOME people get long term issues? Yes. Do SOME people die? Yes. But so do people who get the flu, or pneumonia, or any of a myriad other respiratory diseases. We can't shut down the entire world.
