OT: 23 MSU Fraternities/Sororities Under Quarantine
September 15th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
Might not be a bad idea to make that change permanent
September 15th, 2020 at 12:36 PM ^
If football happens, there's no chance MSU makes it through the whole season
September 15th, 2020 at 12:50 PM ^
Would be fun to pile on here, but this is probably going to happen at the majority of colleges this fall/winter.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:01 PM ^
I wonder if AXE provides any virus protection?
September 15th, 2020 at 1:02 PM ^
Serious question. My nephew had it. He happens to work for me. He was told he had to stay home for at least 3 days after his last registered fever over 99 point something. Don't recall the exact reading. They said nothing about 2 weeks. I stay as far away from any news outlet as possible. Maybe I could just google it but why are some told 2 weeks and others (well, at least 1 person anyway) told 3 days after a certain fever temp?
September 15th, 2020 at 1:06 PM ^
Serious response, in the form of a question. you would choose to believe the people on this board over a google search? Have you seen the views on this board over the last few months?
September 15th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Lol. You're not wrong. But at least everyone is earnest in their beliefs!
Looks like vablue answered.

It has a ~2 week incubation period where you may, or may not, be contagious. If you don't have it after that, you're clear. Once you get through the incubation period, the active infection is considered gone after several days of no fever. Or something like that...
But your question pertains to the differences between incubation and recovery.

My wife had tested positive and Never had a temp. She felt hot then cold and back again sporadically, but never an accompanied fever. Taste and smell went as well. Those are gradually coming back she says(hopefully 100% but who knows).
September 15th, 2020 at 1:32 PM ^
A friend and his wife had it in late July/early August. They both lost taste and smell for 2-3 days. Said it was the weirdest feeling. As of Labor Day weekend they both say they are 100% back to normal.
September 15th, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
Very strange as I read that a fever is the very first symptom. I had a sore scratchy throat back in late March/early April however it went away after a few days. No others symptoms. I thought I did not have covid since no fever or other symptons. Never been tested. Wonder know if I actually had the covid?
September 15th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
Ok, I'll bite. First off, I'm not an expert but my wife is the Chief of Infectious Diseases for the heath system we both work for so I've gleaned a little knowledge over the past 8 months. There are different methods for determining how someone can return to work or be released from quarantine. Many used the 2 negative test method at first but there has been a significant shift to the "no-test" method over the past 3 months. Under this method the majority of people can be released back to work approximately 10 days after the positive test as long as they have been symptom free. The two week concept generally applies to people who aren't positive but have been exposed to a positive person. While it may seem a bit crazy that an exposed person could have to quarantine longer than a known positive person, the reasoning is sound given the incubation period. Regarding your nephew, 3 days seems awfully short but I wouldn't want to comment without more information. I will say that there are medical professionals (people I work with unfortunately) who are giving people flatly wrong information which doesn't follow CDC guidelines.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
That jives. It was 7 days from him contacting his Dr to him reading his last temp above the accepted level. 10 days total from his first call to being back to work. He contacted his Dr, Dr said yep I'll get the county HD to call you. They called a few hours later and the next morning he had his appt and later that same day they called and said he was positive. So assuming the day he called his Dr was propabably a couple days into it that makes sense.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:38 PM ^
Macenblu - Sorry I need help understanding that. Do you mean 10 day after their symptoms have gone away?
What about people who are asymptomatic?
September 15th, 2020 at 2:58 PM ^
An asymptomatic positive (who remains asymptomatic) should still be on a 10 day quarantine. I’m glad a few others mentioned the military because there are some very reasonable exceptions to this. I work in oncology and if a patient of mine is on active treatment they’ll likely have a 20 day quarantine due to being immunocompromised, even in they’re asymptomatic.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
The Navy (all branches?) is using a 14 day model after you test negative, if that helps.
September 15th, 2020 at 6:37 PM ^
You are somewhat correct, It is 14 days after you test Positive. To return to work you must have quarantined for 14 total days from the date of the test, and also have been symptom free for 72 hours. So as long as you are symptom free by day 11, you will be cleared to return to work after 14 days.
I don't know of too many active duty units / installations that are using the test to return method, most are all following the above.

So 23 MSU greek houses are under quarantine and 75 Texas Tech athletes have tested positive but the NFL tests 8,349 players, coaches and support staff this weekend and they ALL come back negative? And the NFL players are roughly the same age and have similar lifestyles as the students and they're not in a protective bubble like the NBA. Hmmm......

One of the groups is doing it wrong IMO. Dont know which group but the disparity is to great to just be a wacky coincidence.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:10 PM ^
one of those groups has a strong financial incentive to not get covid, the other not so much
September 15th, 2020 at 1:23 PM ^
One of those groups live in mansions with a single family, while the other live in group homes.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:23 PM ^
Not sure I would call an NFL-player lifestyle and a college student (even student-athlete) lifestyle comparable.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:46 PM ^
....maybe at 'bama, clemson, and THEEEEEE ohio they are.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:30 PM ^
NFL players are eating the same ass every day, maybe two if they have a mistress. College students may eat a different ass each day, or even several asses over the weekend.
Ass.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:37 PM ^
OBJ says "hell ya."
September 15th, 2020 at 1:43 PM ^
NFL players are wealthy. They are eating asses of numerous shapes, sizes, and colors.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:31 PM ^
If I was making NFL money I think ass would be the only thing that would come off the menu.
"Oh hell no baby I make that NFL monaaaaaay"
September 15th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
VD or COVID? Or both?
September 15th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
By the end both will apply.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:25 PM ^
Oh, this post is about Covid. I thought it was a general MSU thing.
September 15th, 2020 at 1:41 PM ^
STD quarantines. A lot of funky monkeys up there.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:24 PM ^
I suspect we have our share of those.
September 15th, 2020 at 2:40 PM ^
Burn them Down!!!!
Burn it all down!!!
September 15th, 2020 at 3:29 PM ^
What do you expect when you have 50 people crammed in one house.
September 15th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Admittedly, I saw the title of this thread and thought, "They finally got weary of needing a second shift at the clinic, eh?"
Soon after that, I realized we were discussing COVID-19.
September 15th, 2020 at 6:01 PM ^
Certainly not a surprising development
September 15th, 2020 at 8:39 PM ^
Came for MSU shade and was neither impressed or disappointed.
September 15th, 2020 at 8:43 PM ^
Why would any university allow fraternities and sororities to open now? They're the antithesis of all safe practices of every kind.
September 15th, 2020 at 10:09 PM ^
Sounds like a great time to start playing football!
