That is comforting to hear. My son has tested positive 2 times so maybe they will quit testing him now. Is that a possibility?
FYI for anyone else planning to attend the northwestern meet

Unless you do not have a vaccine card.
I think this is the same story a lot of people have. We have had about a 1/3 of our high school team test positive and all had very minor colds or less. 3 of the coaches (all vaccinated) tested positive recently with minor aches and pains or less. Same with my wife and son ( no vaccine). I certainly hope that people will look at their circumstances and take their personal experiences to be valid and realize that this latest variant is the one to get and not to fear.
I think Minneapolis and St Paul put this into effect yesterday. Show the vaccine card or a negative test result in the last 72 hours. I think it is for restaurants not sure what else
I would like Grip to post a source because the most recent BS is all athletes/staff have to get a booster if it's been "x" number of days since they gave in to the original shot. Which is exactly why many athletes didn't want to do the first one because they knew they would just keep adding to it. The athletes need to move faster in their fight for medical freedom.
Understood - but there are testing sites everywhere. If you want to attend bad enough, you'll do it. If you don't, so be it. I don't go into the city because I don't like many of its policies. But I don't get the chance to go to a meet very often so I'll comply. Win the war - not every battle.
Are you fricking kidding me? Another one of these dumb ass threads. This kind of crap needs its own thread. Idk how that hasn’t happened yet. Stop arguing about politics, no one is changing their minds. And no one is going to convince anyone that they’re right. Accept that fact and move on. Come on now.
As recently as 2 days ago the athletes were being required to get a booster if they're original shot was over "x" amount of days ago. I don't think the NCAA is following the policy you posted.
Thank you for posting it and let's hope it's how they are going to proceed.
Is it the NCAA, the Big Ten, or the Iowa Athletic Department requiring the booster? Part of the decentralized nature of college athletics is the multiple orgs who all have a say/impact on policy. And since athletes are not employees and they do not have a union or collective bargaining agreement there is very little recourse they have except through the exemption or appeals process.
That's a good question. It isn't the University of Iowa. It could be Big Ten rather than NCAA but I'm pretty certain the medical doctor I spoke with mentioned the NCAA as the driver for the booster requirement.
Thought I saw you had to wear a mask to attend the Vikings game last week (?), but they've since upped the ante as per normal in Minneapolis and St. Paul. To the surprise of no one I would surmise, for damn sure not me.
What about those like my daughter that have a rare blood disorder? She has been told by 3 different doctors to avoid getting the jab if at all possible. There just is not enough research on long term side effects for her…..
She is a D1 softball that goes back this week but wanted to go to dual with some friends as a last weekend out before the grind starts for her.

Extremely clever response as usual… Sarcasm is fun.
Not being sarcastic.
Non-consensual participation in control groups has always bugged me a bit on a certain level. It’s fine for some research, but not in matters of life and death, imo.
Both things are true.
Natural immunity (within 90 days) is considered the same as fully vaccinated.
But they are only considering someone fully vaccinated if within 6 months of Moderna, 5 months of Pfizer, or 2 months of J&J.

But, the only difference according to that is more relaxed protocols for close contacts. It doesn’t mention testing though.
And that's one of the great things about living in Tennessee...we have none of that craziness! And for the record I am vaccinated, but still I think some of these measures being taken are absolutely ridiculous!!
Naw. Necessary and inevitable don’t always equal good. But I make my choices and live with the consequences.
Just make sure you put enough time on the parking meter!!! Ouch, a $40 parking ticket!!!
Hey, everybody be careful on the way over to Northwestern today. Weatherman showing some really suspect weather between Iowa City and Chicago later today. I travel regularly between Chicago and Iowa; highway(s) #80, #88 and #20/#39 are always well maintained and safe, lots of weekend traffic. Tonight should be fun. Stay Safe
You typically have to bring your own Fireball to most venues anyway.
Thanks. That's the same as last year with the no testing for 90 days after a positive. So it appears that they are going to continue mandating the booster regardless of previous Covid infection.Both things are true.

Down from where? Snow is supposed to start up north of Evanston around 5. Not too much expected though.
I am coming from Grayslake. Might be fun to find a bar for Big Ten's and the NCAA.
Anybody coming thru tonight … I’ll be at Ten Mile House just up the street from Welsh-Ryan by around 5:25. Introduce yourself by your screen name and your first one is on me.
I’m a little dude (5’ 9” and ~76kg), nearly non-existent gray hair, light gray beard and gray/blue glasses, wearing an old gray fleece 1/4 zip.
