How does one rehab one's groin?

So, SU's athletes will get tested every week. Very good. And there are plenty of tests to go around in New York State (last I read was 60,000/week).

However, how can we justify multiple and regular tests for NBA, MLB, etc. athletes when the states they are or will be playing are falling woefully short on their numbers?

So we should halt progress because some of our 50 states are short on tests?

Here in MA we have excess free testing the location in my town never has more than 5 people at it when I drive by. I guess we are being selfish because the situation isn’t the same in Arizona?

Predicting our International student athletes will be arriving soon.

Don't put words in my mouth.

New York and Massachusetts are doing fine. A whole bunch of states aren't.
Should these other states test professional athletes and skip medical personnel?

Well than what do you want? Obviously a private business in SU and athletes in general that will entertain millions proactively procuring covid tests likely months ago can’t happen without you insinuating they are taking them from areas with shortages and denying HCPs.

We're definitely talking past each other.

If the NBA teams in Orlando have tests, and hospitals in Miami don't, there's something wrong with our priorities.

Sorry, I may have missed this -- but Miami doesn't have tests?

Not to jump in but lots of states away behind on testing...takes 10-14 days to get results here...you won’t have COVID by the time you get results

The State of Florida is testing about 15% of their goal number.

Is Your State Doing Enough Coronavirus Testing? (Published 2021)

The number of daily coronavirus tests conducted in the United States is only 52 percent of the level necessary to mitigate the spread of the virus, according to estimates by researchers at the Harvard Global Health Institute.

Its not test that are lacking. Its the lab capacity.

It was recommended that we do at least 5 million tests a day (20 million is what the scientists hoped for) and we haven’t even hit one million yet. Total failure on the part of this government. NYS does nearly 70000 per day and no one else is even close to that.

Seriously? My son and I got ours in a day. And we had them more than a month apart.

Looks like Woody and Griff will be rocking the headbands this year...

Some more photos from the first day. Twitter only had 4, so here are the ones from the Instagram account...

 

[jdubs30]

Woody isn’t as thin as I thought he’d be... good news!

 

[hoopsupstate]

Joe has gotten bigger in his upper body. It should help him finish better at the rim.

I guess by wearing a mask, players can tell JB that you just can’t hear me talking on defense.

I need Syracuse in my life. Gonna be weird without fans but my body is ready.
