Slightly OT - Unfortunately, Geno tested positive for COVID

[TAWRUReady]

UConn is still at home, apparently. (Where is RU? Back from Indy or did they head to San Antonio already? ) Geno tested positive over the weekend but supposedly only had contact with family. But as a CDC (and state health) rule, he will be in quarantine and have no contact with the team for 10 days, meaning I think that their first round game, whenever it is, he will miss. I am sure we will hear ad nauseum later today during the Selection discussion.

This is unfortunate and I hope it does not mean anything serious for him or his family.
Per the article, he had the second of two shot vaccination on March 10. Which then makes me wonder how the tests differentiate between the antibodies or immunity from the vaccine and the actual viral infection.

This helps show how fragile this whole thing is.

I do not regularly read the UConn media but this link describes more details:

I thought the protocol for the NCAA was that the participants have to have 7 consecutive negative days of testing before going to the tournament. Maybe we will hear more about that later today, as well So, if he continues to test positive, does he have to stay away?

The article on Chris Dailey is a fun read, with lots of RU mentions. You'll all get a real kick out of it.

On the one hand somebody here probably has that picture and ought to post it. On the other hand my circa 1983 freshman photo would be totally dweeb-ish I'm sure.
