When the hell did the City of Berkeley, a municipal entity within the County of Alameda, have enforcement power over the University of California-an entity of the State of California? When did cities become more powerful than the states? Isn't it in federalism the order downward federal, state, county and then the city? UC as an entity of the state does have the assets to carry out the COVID testing enforcement of its students and athletes. I know, malfeasance is now an acceptable tool of governance.
The spell-checker switched to through from throw. This sucks and is the end of the hope for Cal football this year. The Peoples Republic strikes again.
So proud of Aaron! Standing up for personal freedom is brave and honorable. Mario Savio once put it, when the machine is so odious, you have to through yourself onto the gears.. crazy big pharma and funder of the pandemic Dr. Fauci and Brandon. G0 Bears!
Maybe not the right thread, but I've gone from being a huge Aaron Rodgers fan to absolutely detesting the guy over the last 48 hours. He's now taking medical advice from Joe Rogan. What an embarrassment to himself and our fine university.
My friend's (Cal alum) high school football coach used to call him "4.0 stupid" when he did something dumb. Can't think of a better term. At least we can be assured that AR really did do his research...just stupidly.
The team usually posts pictures on instagram of the team loading planes or buses. Nothing for this game…makes me wonder, could be worse case scenario for us. You know, because Cal
Wondering why the protocol to follow isn't the Arizona protocol since that's where the game is, unless the issue is getting on a plane after exposure. Heck, I'll buy Chase a SW Air ticket if, due to just being exposed, he has to fly apart from the team until they are in a more lax state!
Whoever it is, if they tested positive I wish them mild symptoms and a speedy recovery!
PAC-12 protocol is 10 days of isolation if you test positive. Would like to know if there were any positive tests vs. contact tracing. If they were positive before Wednesday, they could make the next game.
WOW. Hopefully it's not too many crucial players, and they can be cleared before the 'SC game. City of Berkeley strikes again! Berkeley has its own Public Health Dept, like Pasadena and a few other cities,and they can make their own rules. If it is a contact precaution thing, there is a 4-5 day window where people will test positive if they've contracted the virus, so if the players involved all come up negative after this time period, they should be able to be cleared.
Wilner reporting that, "roster depletion significant". Also wrote, "could only happen in Berkeley, lots of frustration". So is it City protocols we are following...again?
"The roster depletion is significant for Saturday (likely multiple starters), and the overall situation could only happen in Berkeley. "Lots of frustration"
Also, supposedly 99% of the team was vaccinated right? I certainly hope they got a real vaccine and not the Rodgers Crystals and Herbs Rub Down vaccine.
According to the Pac-12 Network - 99% vaccinated is correct. But it could be due to contact with someone (Halloween Party? external party?) and its a city of berkeley thing?
It's all speculation right now. (And I'm adding to it)
hmmmm... Welp, first and foremost a speedy and healthy recovery to the multiple athletes. Not sure what the "rules" are this year but it appears that a position group hasn't been hit which would cause a ?cancelation? or ?forfeit? due to not having enough players. A tough game just go tougher.
Is Cal the first Pac12 team to announce an outbreak? Seems like Wazzu would have had a higher probability of an event.
"multiple" is all about Baldwin. Every time I hear that word I have flashbacks to Baldwin during pressers describing his offense. I will seek therapy soon.
You can not lose to a team that hasn’t won since 10/5/19 v NAU...COVID or no COVID. A loss would be devastating for Wilcox, and would be the nail in the coffin for this disappointing season.

I'm sure he takes football advice from former actors turned podcasters, too.

There's a lot of recent positive cases using the student athlete weight room and locker room.... https://coronavirus.berkeley.edu/dashboard/workplace-exposure/

Well we know Bimage is on the plane https://twitter.com/CalFootball/status/1456729527694938120?s=20
Dooooom the entire eligible roster can fit in a minivan.
Do our beat writers have any more clarity into this situation? Sources saying anything...

Wilner Tweet:

“Only in Berkeley”; I’m sure it’s already being used against us in recruiting. And coaches thinking to themselves, why do I put up with this shit?
I assume this is a Pac 12 protocol but I am not sure.
[RUMORS ONLY] seems to be a berkeley thing, not a pac-12 thing, but who knows
City or university?
City.
Some yahoo down in Arizona wrote that it is up to 50 players!! Source??
That can’t be true because I assume if it were, we would have to cancel the game.
Apparently the rule is to forfeit. I'd rather play the game with a short staff than to have to forfeit.
Yes, we would have to forfeit.
Not good.
Was told by guys that cover AZ to take what he says with a massive grain of salt.
I have done my research and I know for a fact that salt cures Covid.
Also, supposedly 99% of the team was vaccinated right? I certainly hope they got a real vaccine and not the Rodgers Crystals and Herbs Rub Down vaccine.

Not only does it seem like Cal is the first Pac 12 team to announce an outbreak, it seems they are the first team in CFB this season to have one.
I thought an SEC team had issues, perhaps during camp? Georgia perhaps.
Camp, I’m talking in season and before a game.
true, true dat
Of course they are, why wouldn’t they...it’s a team of knuckleheads?
But I thought the team was full of smart, OKG types who would never put themselves in position to get Covid.
“Multiple” could be two players, or 20. I guess we won’t know anything until Saturday.
"multiple" is all about Baldwin. Every time I hear that word I have flashbacks to Baldwin during pressers describing his offense. I will seek therapy soon.
"multiple" and "the want-to" (meaning desire or ambition). he even had wilcox using these terms a lot.
So multiple means singular?
You can not lose to a team that hasn’t won since 10/5/19 v NAU...COVID or no COVID. A loss would be devastating for Wilcox, and would be the nail in the coffin for this disappointing season.
I agree.
