Whatever is going on with Covid/testing is screwy right now.
Three weeks or so back, both of my kids (18 & 21) had bad head colds -- both tested negative for Covid. Tuesday before TG, I started with the same symptoms and figured it was the same cold they had. By Saturday I had a fever and tested positive for Covid -- my daughter tested positive two days later.
Last Tuesday my sister in law started feeling lousy and tested positive. My brother and the 3 kids tested negative, even though my 12 year old nephew also felt lousy. A couple of days later he tested negative again, but my brother developed symptoms and tested positive and the 10 and 8 year old also tested positive, although they had no symptoms. Finally on Saturday the oldest (the only kid with symptoms) finally tested positive.

Maybe ---- just so odd that the one kid with symptoms at my brother's house was the last to test positive.

Be still my heart. 3 games in 1 week. This can't be real.

Different bodies react differently to viruses and have different viral loads.
Nothing odd about it.
With more and more virus variants going around, perhaps the testing is starting to struggle more to identify what is Covid and what is not. I have no scientific evidence for that, but just a thought.
I hope everyone in your family recovers quickly.

Might also be the kind of tests? From what I understand Rapid Antigen tests are faster (and cheaper) but less sensitive, while PCR tests are more sensitive?
While Cassidy was absent, I kept thinking... just like when players are sitting out and watching the games from a different perspective – whether "up on the 9th floor" or on TV – I wonder if the same change of perspective is good for coaches?

no
simply an anecdotal case of getting one virus then another some time later. The world is full of germs, we just unfortunately had one that loves to mutate make its way into human circulation 2 years ago
Omicron is probably already moving around the country, and many people don't know they have it or have mild symptoms and sometimes it isn't getting picked up on tests.

37 NFLers tested positive today. Sports could be in trouble the next few months
I was 12-2 in FF this year, if Covid screws my eventual championship I will not be happy

Me too 11-3
I was able get Johnathon Taylor at 14 and Cooper Cupp in 4th round.
He better not get it from those other rams
Funny thing is we are in 14 team league.
My daughter finished 1 (again) me 2, my wife 4. I gave them no help

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy sounds off on goaltender Linus Ullmark
Who hasn’t Cassidy called out?
McAvoy & Swayman- probably Marchand
I gotta think they are not fans of him
