So is the 5% number based on any real research, or just a % pulled out of their ass? Why not 4% or 6%? My guess is that it just "feels" right.

Yeah that’s wild. You run practices every week with 5% of your roster injured. To have to shut down because 6 or 7 of your players tested positive is absurd. Wonder how long that “shut down” lasts because if it’s more than a few days you aren’t playing that week. And there’s no real point to it unless it’s the same 3 weeks that you’re making the players sit out.

How is a percentage even fair? Rosters are all different sizes. How is it ok to keep going with 5 people positive out of 120 but got to shut down if you only have 100?

Logarithmic scale
 
For a 18-22 athlete which is more dangerous, COVID or 9 consecutive games played against D1P5 athletes? Because that is a lot of conservative games.

Attributing a safety threshold to a percentage is also somewhat dehumanizing, like hitting your numbers end of quarter. Should say 10 players or something so they’re a known quantity.

Also over what timespan is the 5% threshold relevant? If 2% test positive week one and 3% week 2 is the team finished?

So they’re starting Oct 24th. And the cutoff to play the Championship Game for inclusion in the playoff appears to be Dec 19th. So that means they could play an 8 game schedule with no bye weeks and no make-up game weeks. That’s ambitious.

Seems strange that they didn't try and play some games at least a week earlier.

The 5% is a WHO metric, FWIW. A lot of other teams plowed through that number and it sure didn't seem to cause any external problems.

The crazy number is the 21 day suspension for a positive test. The protocol is more like 10 days or if you have no symptoms and a negative test then it is OK to return. That is different than an exposure.
 
OK so here is what I don't get about the testing. I have immediate family that have tested positive and are recovering. They were told by their Dr.'s that there is no need to be tested again for 90 days because it will show back up for that long. So how are guys getting it, recovering then testing negative?

A 5% metric for what though? Same thing applies? Just looked at GA county size and population chart:

Fulton county is 526 square miles with 967,100 population
Jefferson county is 526 square miles with 16,554 population

So should Jefferson county shut everything down in that area when they have 828 active positive cases yet Fulton county plugs along until they hit 48,355? That's 5% of each population in the same size area.
 
Every Michigan fan with COVID is already on the road to Columbus.

We'll see if they get there before the Irish fans.
