Football in the spring? I've seen stats that claim the infection rate for the 21-40 age group is phenomenally low. Many factors to consider.
If players were tested weekly or even bi weekly, and before games - say, temperature and or swab - the risk is possibly quite low. Very complicated considering the student funding of athletics. Do we even know of any pattern of the spread in athletics?
Our numbers are driven by 8-10 metro areas & disastrous NYC nursing homes & potentially the subway. Yolo County, San Luis Obispo County numbers very low, same for Montana, Utah, Idaho.
No college wants to be the first. If given the facts, could student-athletes be given an Assumption of the Risks waiver before competing?
