    Nine More Positive COVID-19 Tests in Iowa Athletic Department

    I know one person who has died from COVID. He was greater than 80 years old and had had an organ transplant in his 70s. He chose to go out and about thinking he had to do some work that could have easily waited.

    Agreed. I know they always say, well they may not have problems but then they go home and visit grandma. Well people have to be smart and not just plain stupid.

    In my view if they could find a cure for the common cold that would be one of humanity's greatest discoveries. I would pay big time for that.

    And the thing is it may tear through humanity and keep mutating like flu does and keep coming back. By then of course most have some degree of immunity that helps fight it so the complication rates are lower.

    Regarding masks, one health "expert" on CNBC stated a mask probably adds about 10 minutes to the time it takes to catch it. So if you were in a room with an infected person normally it may take 10 minutes of exposure with that person (assuming they are not hacking and sneezing 3 feet from you)...

    Sounds crazy but they should have been recruiting low risk otherwise healthy adults to contract it and quarantine. Like creating a fire break. House them in unused hotels for a week and then quarantine at home a week if everything going good.

    And this is for certain a worse recovery than a bad cold or flu in most of these kids? Didn't Walter Payton run for damn near 300 yards against the Vikings with a 101 degree temp? Not saying it was smart, but I am not seeing the healthy people that contracted it dragging around like they are...

    I think the contrary. we are gonna see that hey we got it and we are fine. If I was a 20 year old athlete this would be maybe number 100 of my list of 100 things I would be worrying about. If you do the math from the Iowa data as of around noon today, the death rate of confirmed cases for...

    I know its their job, but I have always wondered why this has not been limited and have maybe 8 photograhpers allowed access on sideline and press outlets have access to those. Talk about overcrowding, and I know the dang donors and such get their special access and I'd be fine with cutting...
