HIPAA pertains only to specific covered entities and business associates of covered entities. It does not apply here.
My guess is that this is simply a gesture to keep Covid issues consistent with normal team protocols regarding injuries, i.e. we don’t discuss the physical status of any player unless an ailment is season-ending.
Even more notorious once she’s forever associated with the sham that sparked an over haul of the entire federal court system. With The House and Senate, and a Dem in the White House they’ll do it. Trump has f**ked the entire party, and they deserve it for hitching up go that s**t wagon.
Bull s**t. The numbers show the same heart issues rates associated with the common cold and flu.
Survival can’t be the only metric we use to assess the risk with this thing. There’s growing evidence of heart disease and blood clots associated with COVID. If it’s a high percentage and causes permanent damage, that’s game-changing from the standpoint of severity.
Yeah, what’s your point? Life cannot stop because of this. We have to get back to work. The government can’t continue to print money to keep us isolated. We are all just going to have to accept whatever risks are associated. We have no choice.
Chicago Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas announced Friday that Jim Boylen has been relieved of his duties as head coach.
Boylen first came to Chicago as an associate head coach during the 2015-16 season and was named the team’s 23rd head coach on Dec. 3, 2018. During his time at the helm of the Bulls, he compiled an overall record of 39-84 (.317).

The other thing you have to consider is the reward associated with the risk. For example, we all take a risk every time we get into a car. But most of us conclude that the risk is worth the reward, so we go anyway.
What’s the risk/reward calculation for going ahead with college football during this pandemic? The risk of catching an illness that carries with it a good chance of getting myocarditis, and the reward is…giving a bunch of men something to watch on a Saturday?
You did read it is associated with H1N1 and common cold…Covid is suspected but not confirmed… So these athletes could catch it just as easily from the flu/cold as covid. So do we shut down until we have a cure for H1N1-Flu-Mono and covid?
I think we need to be really careful when we say top athletes in the prime of their life are not at risk from COVID-19. We simply do not know nearly enough about this virus to know if there may be long-term health effects associated with getting the virus other than just people dying from it. There are early indications that it may cause long-term damage to vital organs that would be applicable to anyone regardless of age or physical condition when contracting the virus.
I think we’re being a little bit selfish if we demand these kids play football so we can be entertained and don’t acknowledge that there may be a risk for them from getting it, especially where football is a very physical, close contact sport.
Given how mismanaged the pandemic has been, it’s cutting into school years already. This is going to screw up work lives for families everywhere. I don’t see conferences able to bring people on campus, and at some point professors are going to draw the line. I don’t know how you keep 100 20 year-olds in a highly tested quarantine for four months. And then we ask them to line up, block and tackle seven to ten other groups of 20 year olds also expected to stay in a highly tested quarantine. Add to that risks associated with travel?
It’s a month away and positive cases are still going up especially in football country. At some point the liability is going to outweigh the public outcry. You can’t force people to risk getting sick for your entertainment. Unfortunately I suspect the conference games will get cut too in the next few weeks. The Ivy already canceled. My guess is B1G and PAC will take the lead again.
Hopefully spring football is possible. Reality is this pandemic is probably going to go into Spring too given the way people are behaving. I’d love to watch some games this fall but a Champioms League game was a major source of spread early in Italy. Meanwhile a vocal group of fans think regard basics like mask wearing is oppression. Wishful thinking is not a strategy to contain spread.
