They are not mass testing, once you reach 85% rate. So I think Charles H reported that LSU is at that number, so we can both be happy that LSU is not going to have to mass test.

Maybe spreading among the group, but all those players do not live in quaratine. Regardless, the ones that are vaccinated wouldn't be impacted.
A team doesn't live on an island you dumb arse.

I have no reason to take the jab, if you want to take the jab go ahead.
You don't seem to believe the vaccine works.

Clearly you are in the Flat Earth society as you believe you vaccinate 85 people of a 100 football team you somehow get herd immunity.

If you are testing 100 people for no reason that is mass testing you dumb arse. Whether 1 has the jab or 99 have the jab has really serves no purpose... the people that get the jab are protected. There simply is no reason to test.
If 80 people get the jab, and the jab works, they have nothing to worry about... why test any of them?
What you are talking about is literally stupidity on a massive scale.
If one believes the vaccine works, it doesn't matter how many people get the jab, they would be protected.... and they themselves could still have it.
If one believes the Jab works, there really is no reason for testing unless one is sick and they need a course of treatment.

Yeah but they don't really play football

You are testing more than 100 people. SEC (P5) teams have 105 man rosters. You have coaches, GA's football ops, Football ADMIN, strength and Conditioning, etc. At 85% vaccination, that is 16 players that are potentially likely to test positive, you drop that rate to 80%, that is 21 players that could potentially test positive. Hypothetically, what if all 21 of those are on your 2-deep?
In addition, it is way more than 100 people. So yes, in football season, football players and coaches have little contact with anyone outside of football. So if 85% of LSU's football operation is vaccinated, it lowers the probability of an outbreak

But the UK currently has 3,300 hospitalizations for COVID, 60% of who were fully vaccinated.
I know the SEC did real well last year playing a conference-only schedule. There were only two cancellations all season. I fully (and grudgingly) expect rescheduling will occur; this delta variant is a mean motor scooter that is causing the markets to tank and may once again affect college football.

But this rule doesn't change any of that, those 21 can still go positive... and they could go positive with the Flu or any other disease.
And probably a majority of them already had the virus and didn't even know it.
What you are saying makes absolutely no sense at all.

If those 21 test positive, they are not playing.

Why not, if they want to?
If the vaccine works, the people that got it are supposedly safe. I don't believe you believe it works.

The Flu, largely through vaccinations and treatments based on 100 years of medical experience does not result in pandemics and has not since 1918.
Not a valid comparison.

Because the SEC says they are not. Just like NC State was told to go home in the College World series. That's why!

Is there something wrong with you?
If the vaccine works, than there is no pandemic... clearly you don't think the vaccine works.

Exactly, its arbitrary and makes no sense.

No I believe it works, I got the Pfizer back in March. The reality is that unless enough people get vaccinated, there is still a large number of hospitalizations that could result which will again cause the Hospital system to get overrun and we have to go through this crap again.

Are Baton Rouge General and Our Lady of the Lake being arbitrary with going back to restricted visitation policies?

Again, you are going off topic.
That has nothing to do with the SEC nor college sports... if a player wants to get a vaccine, they probably can. The rest of the world has nothing to do with anything.

Probably, because the virus can't be stopped, this has been known since February 2020, see CDC transmission rates.
Just like the Flu can't be stopped.
Either way, there is no reason for mass testing if one believes the vaccine works.
You don't seem confident.

No, vaccines have been shown to eradicate diseases in the case of Polio and Smallpox and reduce pandemic levels of infection in the case of the Flu.
So just to be clear, I am confident in Medical Science to control this pandemic via vaccines similar to the Flu and perhaps eradicate it just as vaccines eradicated smallpox and Polio (with except two hardline anti Science Muslim countries, i.e. Afghanistan and Pakistan).
So what I am confident in is if we get enough people vaccinated, this damn thing will either end or be under control.
I don't know where you are from and you don't know where I am from. But lets take the most conservative part of the State, North Louisiana. This Doctor, Jackie White is clearly saying the only way to get this under control is for increased vaccinations.
Does she look and sound like somebody part of some anti Trump Left wing conspiracy? Why as a Medical Doctor who has devoted her life to saving people (our fellow Louisiana citizens) would she be making the quotes she is saying.

The Flu through effective vaccinations can and has been controlled and we have because of that avoided pandemic level outbreaks. We also have 100 years of medical experience since the 1918 Flu pandemic on how to treat it thus also helping prevent pandemic level outbreaks.
