4 footballers test positive

190 tests given

Given that many players come from areas that are considered hotspots right now 4 testing positive is not that bad.   Hope they all recover quickly.

Few things come to mind -
4 out of ???
How and when did those 4 travel to campus prior to the testing?
Given that asymptomatic types are likely flying around the USA right now, it probably would have been best for everyone to isolate for at least 14 days on campus before coming together as a team.    Not sure if that was the process, but that type of 14 day quarantine for all recent travelers has been common in countries that have had the best success.

Which brings me to the real concern-
Those road games will create an impossible gauntlet for college teams as they will encounter all types of potential COVID positive people before and after the game.   There are just too many cases in the USA for me to believe a team could avoid COVID positive people en route to the road venue.

One probably needs to just look at these college football teams.   A lot of the programs are reporting the players tested positive when they arrived on campus.   Just can't help but wonder how many people those players interacted with on their travels to campus when they were presumably asymptomatic carriers of the virus.

All worries for a different time, I guess.
