Texsox Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The son of a competing golf coach tested positive this evening. We were in close contact today. We both were outside and wearing masks but we handed trophies and medals back and forth. I'm a little freaked out. At times at other tournaments I've rolled up next to him and forgotten my mask for a few moments. Today I was walking and thankfully had on a mask the entire time. He was all choked up when he called to tell me and kept apologizing. I kept telling him to stop apologizing, we both followed all safety precautions. He's working from home the next couple weeks while worrying about every cough, sniffle, headache, or sore throat. Final worry my assistant coach was with us today. If he tests positive our season is suspended for two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’ll be fine but I’d try to isolate for five days and test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If both people are masked and outside, getting a sufficient dose is pretty unlikely unless it’s for several minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 15 to 20 minutes over a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the virus respects school employment, but that said, I'm sure you won't feel relieved until you know, but this would be an incredible edge case. Good luck Tex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been in close contact with someone who tested positive. I'm praying he doesn't test positive but they are in the same house, so I'm expecting the worse.

Oh, ok, so you weren't near the person who tested positive. That probably means there's a good chance they weren't contagious, that's good news. That said, you should be under a 7 day quarantine if we were handling this well. No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense now, but doesn't change that I think you'll be okay in the end. Good luck, I hope you have a quick turn around on results.

StrangeSox Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Honestly at this point they should simply send in the army and exterminate them all, worry about "legal authority" later after you've hopefully contained a potentially devastating mutation.

Balta1701 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 On October 24, the US 7 day moving average for cases crossed 62,000. It crossed 124,000 yesterday, November 10. That’s a doubling in 2.5 weeks, with only minimal responses being offered. At that pace, the case load by Thanksgiving will be approaching 200,000 a day, but that’s so high that testing will be back to not up to the task of keeping up with cases.

greg775 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) I knew this was coming. Not saying it'll be good or bad but I pray the complete shutdown of the USA in January which could be coming, works on all levels. If toilet paper sells out again, I'm gonna scream BTW. https://www.outkick.com/are-we-heading-toward-another-long-term-lockdown/ Edited November 12, 2020 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Ticketmaster is working on a plan to verify those going to events have had the vaccine or have tested negative in the 72 hours before the event. This is probably the only way we get live sports and concerts by next spring/summer. And that's planning on the vaccine being approved and available to the general public. This will keep the anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists out of stadiums and concert venues anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 There’s going to be enough material for Bob Woodward to write another full book at this rate. Maybe the strategy is to let Covid run free so as to discourage an attack against the US when Defense, CIA, FBI top leadership is fired or crippled? Of course, that would require the admin having any “strategic” plan other than retiring campaign debt until January 20th. Operation OAN is already up and running, it seems.
