(CNN)At least 28 Clemson University athletes and staff have tested positive for coronavirus, including 23 football players, according to the university's athletics department.

So far this month, 315 Clemson student-athletes and staff have been tested for Covid-19, and 28 of those tests came back positive, the athletics department confirmed Friday in a news release.
Of the 23 football players, two are from last week's initial round of testing, a Clemson spokesman told CNN.
"Clemson has notified and isolated each of those individuals who tested positive for a period of at least 10 days," the release said. Close contacts of the individuals have been asked to self-quarantine for at least 14 days as well.
"Most of the total cases have been asymptomatic, and none have required hospitalization," according to the release. "As community transmission continues throughout the area, it is advised that individuals monitor for symptoms."

I have zero inside information. However, from what I am seeing with the numbers from CDC and WHO, I would highly suggest there won't be a season with fans. I do expect NFL to play (although, likely without fans), but its hard to tell amateurs "go potentially risk your life and your families lives to play this game!" when they aren't getting paid. Its the NFL players jobs. They can be told (albeit, not ethically) "you're playing or you don't get a paycheck." At that point, if they decide against it, that's a calculated risk. Completely different with amateurs.

How long does this specific immunity last?

I say, bring all the students back to school immediately (over summer), let them have a huge party in the stadium with lots of close contact. Let them all get it and then quarantine the entire school for two weeks and be done with it. Every NCAA school should do the same and let's get on with it. Then everybody in school is ready to proceed with classes, sports, parties and everything else they may get into during the course of normal college life without fear.

I have been spending the last month or so working on COVID guidelines, and have written or helped write some local guidelines specific to certain facilities. It's going to be a mess. With the guidelines being sent out from the NFHS, NCHSAA, NCAA, and other organizations it's going to be tough. Constant temp checks, questionnaires, cleaning, etc is going to be a major problem for time management IF coaches actually follow the policies. I would be my salary that a lot of coaches will not follow the guidelines and high school sports for the fall will get the ax within a month of starting. One or two kids test positive on a team and watch parents start pulling their kids. If one kid is your star QB and they are down 14 days minimum that could be 2 quick losses and your playoff hopes can get dashed pretty quick. And every kid who was in their "pod" has to be out for like 10 days unless they get tested and it's negative. I just don't see fall high school sports making it. Winter sports are going to be tough as well. Juco is going to be tough as scheduling is going to change and money is not always available to support all that is going to be required in the form of extra cleaning, materials, testing, and whatnot. Small NCAA schools will be limited as well and will probably cut schedules to only conference games. We are already seeing D1s trying to practice and getting hit with positive tests and having to cancel.

Don't expect to go to sports this year.

Also, you should go look at state requirements just to open schools. I'll be surprised if schools can pull it off in the fall. I'm not going to go into all the details again but its worth a read from another post I made.

OK, Clemson...you're justifying the difference between the 10 day quarantine period for "student-athletes" and the 14 day quarantine period for "close contacts" just how? Just what scientific data was that decision based upon?

Because they are the stars of the show and they have to have them back. Their acquaintances are not. It's what benefits the "team" and not the "others."

Gov. Cooper is expected to deliver his "position" on pre K-12 schools next week. Look for it to extremely strick from A to Z. It will impose serious hardships on everyone involved--families, students, teachers, school support staff from secretaries to bus drivers--simply everybody. More tough months ahead!
