The way I read it kids can be in pads in a couple of weeks they just can’t touch anybody. Genius.

Good news is coming this week from the governor’s office. Today’s news was just a precursor to what will follow.

This what you are referring too?

The TSSAA can say it's ok to play all day long...but if school isn't in session or even on an all virtual format the boys won't be playing yet.

Is there another source?

The only ones I see reporting this are Breitbart and Alex Jones. And both of those have as much credibility as a sack of dead crickets.

This is great news but what does everyone think is going to happen when kids start testing positive on a football team. Are they going to quarantine the entire team for 14 days.  Kids are going to get it, coaches are going to get it, and teachers are going to get it and the whole thing could shut down before it even gets started when you have the first death. I hate to be negative Nancy here but that is the hysteria tied to this pandemic.

Would mean the same about the whole school not just football? I mean the same kid will pass by every kid in the halls and classrooms not just the kids at practice or games. School would be a non issue as Zoom would allow them to continue online classes given the need. Now do you shut down your teams football and wait 2 weeks is another story. I dont think you can have a Football season like that. We will find out soon enough as some kind of guidelines on this very subject should surface soon if it hasnt already. If I were to guess you would quarantine the infected and ramp up temp checks and make known every symptom of the virus as to self diagnose and quarantine until a test is done. If one positive test puts a team or school down initially then I'm afraid the effort of football might be in vain. Again just my opinion.

Results from a test can come back in as little as 3 days. However if one of your best players misses on a Friday it could mean the difference of making the playoffs or not this year. If we go with 32 teams you could lose a few games and have a lower seed in the playoffs if we go the 9 team and only #1 seed that could mean the end of your playoffs that year.

Tests in middle TN are taking 9-10 days to come back. You can pay extra and get it back in the 3-4 day range. The players fall into the age group that rarely have serious symptoms. 9/10 will have no idea they are positive or only have cold/ allergy symptoms. There is a long discussion on the 5A/6A forum with dueling medical studies debating whether this age group even spreads the disease. Germany has done extensive testing on school age kids and the results are positive for reopening and getting back to normal.
