Ross Dellenger with Sports Illustrated is reporting that at least 30 LSU Football players have been quarantined after testing positive for the coronavirus.

The report says that a portion of the players got infected at Tigerland near LSU's campus.

quote:
No LSU athlete or staff member has required hospitalization, and very few have experienced effects beyond mild symptoms. Officials are thankful that athletes were on campus, where the school has quick accessibility to testing and results.

A portion of LSU’s football players are quarantined after frequenting a string of nightclubs near the school’s campus called Tigerland. On Friday, the Louisiana Department of Health announced that more than 100 Tigerland bar-goers have tested positive for the virus and warned those who have frequented the establishments to quarantine for at least 14 days. Mullenix is in constant contact with the Louisiana Department of Health, showing health officials team trends, a process that helped reveal the Tigerland bar outbreak. Read more.

FowlGuy•46 months

Way worse has been caught after a night at tiger land, amirite?

stickly•46 months

This is actually awesome news. If all of the players have had it then they can play. Woot.

CanebreakCajun•46 months

It is. Get it out of the way. They’re are strong, we’ll fed and have access to best care. They should be fine

luciouslou•46 months

No proof you get immunity

teke184•46 months

All the light touches belongs to us. Except Tigerland. Never go there!

CV19 isn't the worst thing a person person can get in Tigerland.

The China Virus Hoax will have zero impact on this age group.

biglego•46 months

Zero impact on their health yet still threatens the season

Tiger4life5803•46 months

That’s the problem

tigersquad89•46 months

Damn wish this was closer to 100 because it would give LSU a huge advantage come the season if everybody already got it.

SaulGoodman•46 months

Tigerland should be torn down. All bars and nightlife should be by Northgate.

rob62•46 months

And ZERO of them knew they had it until they were tested. This shite is a joke.

rob62•46 months

Hey you stupid downvoters, you can downvote the truth all you want but it is still the truth. If the players or LSU knew they had been exposed or if they had any symptoms they would not have bee back at LSU to begin with. Corona virus is overblown and has been sensationalized by the media. It is ridiculous.

luciouslou•46 months

What an idiot. 462,000 people dead and it's a "joke"

Tiger4life5803•46 months

Mr Rob...if you think COVID Just being left to run it’s course was a better idea...picture this...Hundreds of thousands of US deaths being attributed to COVID (whether that was actually what killed them or not) and the media pushing fear like they have...shitting on trump yada yada yada would’ve resulted in a better market than what you’re seeing right now after closures....you’re sadly mistaking bruh. Don’t join a team. Think for yourself.

If this happens in august (which it will) that's 2 games missed automatically. Next years champs will be the team who avoids the virus. Plain and simple

FowlGuy•46 months

Unless the team gets an outbreak going into November

Teenagers and young men in the best shape of their life should be fine.

southsidedell•46 months

The issue has never been with the young.

themunch•46 months

No mountain to climb for a climber

MarioBrothers•46 months

Sad when a sickness that has a 99.5% survival rate is major news.

biglego•46 months

But muh 500k deaths

lsuohiofan•46 months

50 million people die each year in the world. Less than 1% will be from Covid.

KCT•46 months

And it's probably 99.9% for their age group.

Good, let it run through the team in June that way they won’t have to worry as much come September

biglego•46 months

“No hospitalizations or serious illness.” 30 test positive. None are that sick. Shocker.

Disgeaux Bob•46 months

How many would have known if they weren’t tested? Answer ... NONE

elcid•46 months

We are all going to DIE! Cancel THE SEASON NOW! Ryan Clark said all the players who tested positive were around Drew Brees in the past month and that it all seems very suspicious.

lsuohiofan•46 months

So what? These are healthy young people! It does not affect them like you old farts. Go protest and you are okay, but if you try to play sports you are bad. Screw that!

KCT•46 months

Once they get over it they will be immune to it. Maybe not that bad of a development.

GeauxGutsy•46 months

People had it early on and never knew. Coronavirus is definitely real, but it’s not what they want you to think it is.

SuckFickNaban•46 months

120,000 americans have died from it

FightingTigers138•46 months

"120,000 americans have died from it" False. 120,000 Americans have died with it, not from it.
