As more data is collected and analysed, we'll be better able to manage the spread of CV.  This visualisation of data from the National Center for Health Statistics is enlightening.  It appears that college students have the least to fear from CV, less than normal operations actually.

"College bubble"  Ha!  Next time your on campus, any campus, look around.  How many of those people pop the college bubble everyday?  Is the faculty and staff living within the college bubble?  No.  Are they stopping at the grocery store on their way home?  Probably.  If the PGA tour, with basically an unlimited budget, can't keep the virus away from 150 players and their caddies, you have ZERO chance on campus.

Really interesting to finally add up the numbers.  According to the reported numbers, total deaths since Feb in the 0-24 age group is 149, and zero reported in the past 2 weeks.  Within that group we have no idea about concomitant medical conditions.  I stand by my opinion that the safest place for these kids is back and school, isolated from the more vulnerable members of society.  Those in the older age group that interact with the healthy group need to continue social distancing, maybe N95 masks, hand washing, etc.

With all due respect, there are many in the medical profession who disagree with you. College dorms, small classrooms and even large lecture halls, cafeterias, athletic training rooms and the locker rooms are all "petri dishes" for these viruses. I recall when our daughters were students at Hope back in 2008 when the norovirus hit campus and the surrounding counties. While that virus didn't have any mortality percentages, nonetheless, that situation was horrible. The entire campus was locked down, as was the surrounding county and many businesses (including Grand Rapids large international airport) although not to the extent of rhis current crisis. (I will spare you some of the disgusting stories of the symptoms of that as well as some of the horrible symptoms experienced by a coule of persons I am aware of whi contacted the covid19, including one who was a classmaye of our daughters on elementary school, who was 33 years old, in excellent health, married with two young children  and he died  from it.) Decontamination teams had to be called in and quarantines were in place for students not leaving as well as prohibiting anyone from coming to the campus. The College and county health departments were overwhelmed.

There is a new study just out yesterday that is now reporting that previously "asymptomatic" persons,, which the majority in the study were in this younger age group you cite and who all tested positive for the coronavirus, actually developed signs of lung inflammation with symptoms as seen in "walking pneumonia, so they really were not "asymptomatic" as previously claimed. As has been mentioned here by others, the latest numbers reported by several states show a huge increase and proportion of the younger age groups now contracting the virus, and, again, it is being discovered they are not entirely "asymptomatic" and to what degree, if any,  is not currently known how that will affect their health in the longterm future, even if they are healthy individuals with no currently "known" comorbidities or risk factors.

Certainly, we do not know what the longterm effects of this will be. We all agree that everyone is at risk for viruses, including the common cold , the flu, etc., and now this terrible covid19 coronavirus. We obviously do not have all the answers as to the latterr and as everyone here knows, that changes daily. But to say the safest place is back at school, IMO, is misleading as there will be still a large risk there as everywhere in society. The administrative staffs in all the departments at all the colleges and universities have been working diligently on a daily basis to design plans and various scenarios to minimize those risks ( I can attest to that because our youngest daughter works at Hope, our neighbor is head of food services there, and I have contributed to some of the athletic plans for return of football and fall sports there). But despite efforts by thousands of people across the nation at all these colleges and universities, there is still major concern and there will be some large risk. I am not paranoid, rather being simply realistic and cautious. As many have said/posted here and we all realize, we will see what plays out over the next couple of months. Anyway, I respect everyone's opinion here, just sharing my own as I see the situation currently from the information we have available (and, yes, even the medical professionals across the country who are considered experts in the field of infectious disease do not agree on everything regarding this coronavirus situation.)

I completely agree with you, however, as I am sure you have seen, the quality of the medical studies being introduced to the lay press is poor.  These case reports and studies  are being disseminated at a rapid rate, without being vetted (have you ever seen such a rapid change  in medical recommendation as the hydroxychloroquine debacle?).  My theory is, test all athletes and incoming students.  Then place them in the bubble of college life.  In this bubble, there is relatively little contact with potentially infected patients, and if they do contract the novel virus, the most at risk group to infect would be their peers.  Either way the college age student maintains the lowest mortality and morbidity rate, why keep them at home?  In my opinion, the downside of being home (mentally, socially, financially) outweighs the benefit.

Would have liked a different outcome but that was a classic D3 basketball game.  Appreciate the way Donte asserted himself in the second half.  Good things to come.

There's a video link on Depauw's website

If Dontae Williams ever chooses to assert himself in the post I believe Wooster could be a very good team.  Probably a player or two away from a great team but very good nonetheless. 

Anyone know why Donte Williams had zero minutes in last game.  Injury or Dog House?

34-1??  Good lord!  I can see Woo hanging 20+ on the Puppies like they did, but 34 on OWU?!  And it wasn't even at the launching pad it was in Delaware.  Wow.

For his sake, I hope Bishopleftiesdad's son didn't pitch

Wooster's website says nothing about pre-game day ticket sales.  Only that tickets go on sale at JCU at 4 on Friday.

The info I got today was tickets will be sold at the door starting at 4:00 pm.  No tickets sold at the schools.  The consensus among the schools was selling tickets in this manor would cause no problems.

Thus ensuring a large Wooster contingent

Missed the broadcast.  Thanks

Where's Reece Dupler?

Nate Axelrod really - Is he a seventh year senior?  Seems like he's been there forever.

Scot's lack of size is concerning however when they shoot well, they'll be tough.

Blessed.

Something to be said for surviving when you shoot 14% from beyond the arc however; you did shoot 14% from beyond the arc

I think Wooster needs to win the conference regular season or the tournament to get in.  You can sell me on one, maybe two, "good losses" but not four.

Just my thoughts.
