So he tested positive on Friday (yesterday) but had served his mandatory isolation after coming back from Ireland where he would have no doubt been tested at that time too. So would have to assume he contracted it since returning to Australia? Or if he did contract it overseas (or on the plane/in transit) then incubation can be a lot longer than mandatory isolation when coming back from overseas allows for which is more worrying. If he tested negative when he returned and positive now, weeks after coming out of isolation, and he had it when he returned to Australia ... then doesn't matter whether the rest of the team tested negatively this morning when they were tested - 6 weeks from now they could all be positive. So ugh, just call off footy in 2020 ... everyone could see this coming a mile away.

One would imagine that as part of relaunching the season the AFL would have completed a risk assessment of the instance of a player contracting the virus, and so would have a plan to deal with it when it happens. One would imagine.

I imagine that plan basically amounted to "we dont think it'll happen so it'll be just fine" So apparently McKenna was tested 5 times since returning from overseas, the most recent (before testing positive) was on Wednesday which was also a negative result, hence that he looked like he was in the clear.

The season becomes a survival of the fittest where each team that has a player test positive gets knocked out of the season, WA and SA teams in the box seat

"tested" means a lot of things. I too have returned to Aus recently, and only got off my quarantine on the 11th of June. And whilst I was temperature "tested" multiple times all over the place, I only had one swab up the nose test. 3 days before I left the hotel. They gave me my results 2 days later, (I am disease free motherfuckers!), and as I was leaving the hotel in Sydney, I got some paperwork signed by both the police and Health Department officials. So when McKenna says he was tested 5 times since he arrived back, that could mean he had his temperature taken 4 times, and the one swab up the nose. Much like I did.

They said that the players are being tested multiple times a week. At the start of this week he tested negative and then the irregular test was followed up by the positive, they're contact tracing and isolating everyone but I guess that this week they'll rest players again multiple times and see? Might have a two week wait.

nahh, I don't think Essendon did anything other than be unlucky Having said that, on the Fox Footy broadcast, they just showed some footage of McKenna blasting both his nostrils out onto the turf at training earlier this week

realbez posted:Odds essendon did something dodgy? Nah, they're checking to make sure McKenna didn't breach the protocols though. Given the tests aren't super accurate it's possible he picked it up at the airport or on the plane and had been carrying it the entire time. The bigger issue is that this thing has the potential to gently caress up your lungs for a long time so it could end his career as an elite athlete.

Pretty good thing they caught it before the game happened since he was named. The Demons must be feeling like they dodged a bullet. hosed for McKenna, I hope he isn’t affected and didn’t spread it.

Was kind of hoping Carlton would give up a 42 point lead to lose by 1 point the week after coming back from a 42 point deficit to lose by 1 point Gary Albert retire birch

gay picnic defence posted:Nah, they're checking to make sure McKenna didn't breach the protocols though. Assuming all the testing he's done is "up the nose" proper tests and not just temperature checks, then my guess is he got it on the plane, as what it seems like really provides chance to catch the virus is extended exposure to somebody with it. flying the roo route back from Europe is a good way to get exposure. poo poo luck for Essendon. let's hope the tracing can provide some clarity and the testing comes up negative for the rest of the team. best decision to delay the match, and my guess is they'll either lose the bye or get an added 'mid-week' match because of it.

I heard someone talking about if both teams have an eight or nine day layoff between games that they could get it done midweek. Here's hoping. ...or just give the four points to the Demons, would also be fine
