Who else is watching all these reports of college athletics programs with frightening #Covid19 test results and wondering what on earth these same universities are thinking is going to happen when they open up in fall for all students, *without* testing?
Here’s CNN’s rundown of results as of June 10th:
• 7 athletes across 3 programs at Arkansas State
• 3 football players at Auburn
• an unspecified number at Texas Tech
• 1 person (student or staff) at Iowa
• “Several” athletes at Marshall https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/07/us/universities-athletic-programs-coronavirus/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/0...
