MBB is quarantined for 14 days
- Thread starter herdinatl
- Start date
105 scholarship and non-scholarship football players, haven't heard of one issue. I believe this is the second time for one or more of 15 basketball players. Just saying.
Hopefully not the same player? Maybe after this one the lesson will start to sink in? ? for OP: can they still practice, or is it a lock down?
I think the main issue is that with 15 players instead of 105, positive cases are more conspicuous. In football, they just declare the number of positives without releasing names, so you have no idea who got what, when they got it, and if its too soon for them to come back. Harder to hide in a crowd of only 15 people.
'LICIOUS - I think I understand your comment. High profile players such as Trevor Lawrence get announced....are you saying there is no requirement to release football or bball players names when they test positive?
It is my understanding that releasing medical information without the consent of an individual is a direct violation of HIPAA law. Let's just remember it this can be a serious medical condition and wish a speedy return to health for the player (anonymous as he may be).
Serious question: if I test positive for COVID, I'm supposed to notify my employer and anyone I've had contact with in the last two weeks, share who I have had contact with so health authorities can contact them themselves, and then I'm supposed to self-quarrantine for two weeks, during which time anyone who asks me why I'm not leaving the house will be told that I had COVID.
Does HIPAA exist for me as well?

Herdalicious - you may tell anyone you want anything you want.
I can tell you that a public entity (university, school/school district, hospital, government agency, business, church, etc.) would get the living poop sued out of them if they released the name publicly. As a contact tracer, I cannot and do not mention the name of the "case" when following up on the situation. You can only explain to someone that they may have been exposed to COVID (based on the information shared with the contact tracer by the "case"), that they are advised to self-quarantine for 14-days from the initial date of exposure, and that if they have any symptoms of COVID they should contact their physician for medical guidance. If you're interested, there is a 6-hour contact tracing training available free of charge on the Johns Hopkins University website.
By the way... that was a serious answer as well - not being a jacka$$. Just the facts man!

Rhetorical only: if the league stipulated that in order to play, participants had to sign a limited HIPAA waiver so that the league itself could track and monitor infections for the protection of participating athletes (not to mention the competitive fairness of play), this situation would not be an issue.
Rhetorical, of course, because the leagues all know that you don't become a college football coach unless you know how to cover some sh-- up. It's best to just let them do it, so you don't have to face the consequences of one of them being caught.
There are three main pillars to collegiate coaching: recruiting, instruction, and obfuscation.
