I'm back with the mumps.

How long after symptoms show up is someone still able to transmit the disease? Probably best to keep parise and pommer out at least that long.

5 days... they are clear on Friday, but the team doesn't have activities that day so they'll be with the team on Saturday.

woohoo!

 

[gphr513]

The fact that it's been 5 days and we've had no more cases is hopefully a sign that it was just those 3. Great news!

 

[Engebretson]

Finally, some good news. Now let's just hope they can get their strength and stamina back up to normal soon.

From the Strib...

"But it wasn't that bad," Pominville insisted. "I had a fever and stuff like that, but I didn't get it as bad as some guys a couple of years ago because of the booster shot we got [in 2014]."

Parise, Pominville and Stevens returned to practice Saturday. Teammates naturally had fun with it, constantly calling them "Mumpsies" or "Mumpers" or "Mumpford and Sons" or "The Mumpets."

Considering the team has had to deal with this twice in a matter of a few years, I think a booster shot should be required for any guy signing/traded with the club. It may not have prevented Parise and Poms from getting it this time around, but it helped reduce the severity of the symptoms and length of recovery.

Meanwhile, when Poms and Parise are together, it shall now be known as The Mumpets Line.
