Louisiana COVID rules regarding athletics - Updated clown world stuff

I know; another COVID thread. I need to see if I’m taking crazy pills or if this actually makes sense. I was notified Monday that my son was in close contact with another student who tested positive for COVID. He can return to class on the 24th. No big deal. However, he cannot return to football until the 30th. 10 day and 14 day quarantine, respectively.

I was told that because football is a close contact support, and mask wearing and distancing cannot be maintained, is the reason for the longer quarantine.

1. Why the longer quarantine if he is still has a possibility of contracting after 10 days? Why would going to class have less of a restriction (regardless of mask status)?
2. They go to recess with a bagillion other kids and never wear a mask. Isn’t this the same as a football game?

TLDR version: nobody knows what the frick they are doing and the rules are retarded and make zero sense.


Update: I called the school asking if they had documented proof of the student testing positive. I was told they cannot ask for proof, as the state says that is not allowed. They have to assume it’s legit. So they make everyone jump through hoops for shite when they don’t even know if it a valid positive. WTF!!
