Possibly it may not be a full 14 days, dickie v said 14 and has since deleted the tweet, no one at Iona has said how long yet, but likely not much shorter even if not a full 2 weeks.
This season is a waste, if you can’t isolate individuals like football has, then it’s probably not worth playing.

What has football done--bowl games being canceled?
I agree. This season has been a waste in a lot of ways.
My question is why do we continue to have these kids play and take the risk of them getting Covid if it's so deadly? I say we scrap the season and look out for everyone's health until the vaccine does its job. No matter how great the contact tracing program is, this virus will still infect people. Towson has a player who tested positive, siena had two, and many others.

Why take the risk?
I dont know how much of a risk playing D1 Hoops is as far as contracting Corona. As far as being deadly, i dont believe any of the thousands of D1 basketball players have died. I think you can make the argument that with the quarantining and continuous testing, they are a lower risk than the average 20yo from coming into contact with a positive person. Player from Towson was positive, and two from Siena were positive, was there an allegation that those infections were caused by basketball related activities? The Siena rumor mill had a player's girlfriend breaking the team's Quarantine. On a personal note, MY belief is that this virus is soooo contagious that it made it out of a Province in China and spread to every corner of the globe in the matter of weeks/months. No amount of hand washing, social distancing and mask wearing is going to prevent it. Everybody, repeat EVERYBODY, is going at some point to come in contact with it. i think the better question is, why some people are on ventillators with it, while others get mildly sick and others dont? I just found out my wife has Covid antibodies, i would assume i do too, Neither of us were sick.

I’m really talking about the nfl, and I realize a college team can’t be as sophisticated as an nfl team.
My biggest gripe is I don’t think everyone needs to shutdown for a non player for 2 weeks. If you think you need to be that strict then you shouldn’t even try to have a season.
Yes. Very stupid to shut down for 14 days! After all, only 1.8 million people have died so far!
Greg have you hunkered down since February? Only leaving the house to buy groceries?
Are we supposed to shut everything down and stop living?
Small businesses and restaurants are shutting down every day due to the absurd restrictions that California Governor Newsom has put in place.
Why is it safe to shop at a Walmart, Costco and Target yet you can’t enjoy a meal at your local restaurant socially distanced?
Java - How dare you suggest that we continue to live our life in a pandemic of world ending proportion?!?! I mean do you have no heart?!?!
Do you not see what Walmart, Costco and Target are doing compared to these little mom and pop shops? They have social distancing stickers on the ground, they enforce mask policies and boy oh boy, do you not see those beautiful plastic dividers between cashiers? Seriously, small businesses and restaurants can't do that. It seems to me that is way too advanced for them. You know mom and pop stores get half the traffic of Walmart stores, but they're more at risk for infecting people.
I thank Governors like Cuomo and Newsom for keeping everyone safe. We should give both of them awards and book deals for their heroics during this pandemic.

For a while the small restaurants were at 25% indoor capacity and allowed to have patio seating. These restaurants went out and purchased covered tents and numerous stand up space heaters to accommodate their guests. Then the rug got pulled out from under them. Newson declares restaurants limited to take out and deliver only. Then he enjoys a $16,000+ wine dinner at French Laundry in Napa. Infuriating!

Yea. That's exactly it. You nailed it Java.
Interesting dichotomy you have established here, and you have answered your own question in doing so.
Is it worth the risk for a good "meal at your local restaurant"? Is it safe to to buy "necessities" at Walmart, Costco, Target, Supermarket?
Put the politics and the branding aide! You have to buy food and clothing. I know you have a lot of options to do that besides the ones you list, and their offerings go far beyond the necessities. How do you do that safely? How well do they do that safely? Costco does it well, I think.
Most of us go to a restaurant to "enjoy a meal" - hardly a necessity. It sucks. People are losing their business and their livelihood, including my daughter. And they are being forced into the losses by people such as Newsom and Sam Page (STL).
70,286 people have lost their lives to covid so far in December 2020 - two more days to go.
These are tough decisions by people faced with tough options! I only have to make that decision for myself every day; others have to consider all of us. That sucks too.
In our case here in STL, Sam Page is a MD. Knowing what he knows, what are his options?
By the way, I don't know of anybody who has said it is safe to shop at WalMart, Costco, or Target. To me we are dealing with degrees of risk in all of the scenarios you lay out.
