Orgeron's update reveals #LSU's case totals were higher than what was previously publicly known

Unless it is proven that the players are more at risk playing football than they are on their own, why does any coach need to provide an exact number of cases on his/her team? I don't really see where Kubena is making a point at all. Many of us have been saying that we believe that the players are actually safer playing and being held accountable to their team. I would guess that most coaches feel that way too including Coach O.

I'm not going to argue with you. But you don't know what you're talking about.

The article I linked explains who is required to observe HIPAA privacy provisions.

And athletic coaches don't fit any of the categories of "covered entities under HIPAA."

ETA: Just think about all those major league baseball players whose managers have disclosed they have tested positive for COVID or have been injured. The same for some college football players who have been identified as testing positive by their coaches or who get injured and can't play.

That's because those managers and coaches aren't covered entities under HIPAA.

HIPAA, in general terms, restricts healthcare providers, suppliers and insurers from disclosing a person's health information.

Why would LSU make public anything on it? You notice he worded his statement carefully using the term “publicly known”. What’s the basis for this ongoing feud anyway? I am not talking about the recent news stuff. It has to go deeper than that.

He's really only talking about the number of positive tests. He doesn't seem to be asking for the identity of those tests from the quote in the OP. I'm not even bothering to click the link.

These little cucks are praying for a player to die. Just one. That's all they need.

New Rule for Tigerdroppings:

Do not link Kubena articles. This is an expansion of the Guilbeau rule. These scum live on clicks and they get ushered out if they lack clicks. Linking to a Guilbeau or Kubena article is punishable by being forced to read only Dan Wolken and Karen Rovell Tweets for a week.

Very half assed job of reporting that seems to speculate that LSU is either hiding something or not providing appropriate care to football players. I have a child that is a scholar athlete at LSU (not football). My child tested positive a few weeks ago and fortunately suffered minimal symptoms. LSU won’t let my child touch a weight, run , or otherwise work out in any way until several doctors give the all clear. My child has been tested by cardiologists, virologists and a GP a sort of the post COVID observation. The care has been first rate and “getting back on the field” has been far down the list in terms of concerns. Football players that test positive go through the same testing and have been part of the same studies and reviews. No one is released until all of the doctors and tests indicate that there are no issues.

And they really don't need to know his salary because the state pays very little of his salary.

Just more fear porn from the left. How many of these players had any adverse effects or died? None? That should explain why O pushed for football to continue, the virus is basically harmless to young healthy persons. More college-aged football players will probably die in car accidents than from COVID this year.

LSU Russian, not to pick a bone but LSU staff provides healthcare to the athletes. I have a child that is an athlete. Also, Title XI has privacy clauses that don’t allow a university to release the identity of any student as it relates to test scores, health care or discipline.(paraphrasing with broad strokes).
