So does anyone think we’re going to get a season at this point? Driving me a little nuts that kids sports is continuing right now, putting a lot of other things and lives at risk. Local high school football player just tested positive for the virus and they shut practice down for two weeks. Anyone know what the various women’s college leagues have said so far?
Hope you are all staying well. These are not easy times.

Rumor - I heard over the weekend - A slew of Ivy League players are taking a year off since the Ivies do not allow grad school students to play. That should tell everyone what the real deal is.
As far as youth sports - I think they should continue in a smaller group model. The kids do need to do something besides video games.

My sister thought she had it. She went to the Dr, the test came back negative. The Dr. said she still could have it, the test is only 75% accurate, so she is to quarantine 10 days, which apparently has replaced the 14 day time period. My parents got tested today, they saw her 6 days before she started feeling bad. I have not seen her or my parents in over 10 days, I should be ok.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

"14 days" is the time period from a potential expose to the time when one can be confident that exposure has not resulted in infection. Your sister's "ten days" might be because by the time she had seen the doctor, she was already four days into her "14 day" period. Your parents' "14 day" clock would start at the point they were with your sister. So if they saw her six days she maybe developed symptoms and now some number of days have passed (assuming they didn't see here at all again since), they are well into their particular "14 day" period.
You "14 days" would start when you last saw either your sister or your parents. So you have four more days (?) to go, and should be isolating for that time.
Had your sister tested positive, the "rules" for when someone is "cleared" of being contagious are different, and have to do with how long since they had a fever, or had gotten a subsequent 'negative' result of test for active virus, etc.

That coach should reassess as should all coaches - the smart play is to save the year for all athletes that aren't going pro. Getting a year of work in in a job you can't stand and ground you for the rest of your life. You might come back to school and sports with an appreciative outlook and the earnestness to strive even more.

The inaccuracy comes from the timing of when the test sample is taken - too soon and there isn't 'enough' virus to be sure you got some on the swab, too late and the virus may have 'moved' from the sinus down into the lungs, or elsewhere; and from the actual administration of the swab - getting it way in to the 'right' part of the sinus cavity is difficult. If the sample has virus RNA on it, the lab will find it. That is, the chemistry of test itself is not the problem.
There are other test mechanisms being developed that are easier to administer (and faster results) but with even lower overall accuracy. Over the last couple weeks, I've seen news stories about simple saliva tests having been developed at U of Illinois and at Arizona State.
Test speed and inaccuracy are certainly problems, but they're hardly the only problems we all have right now.
