Insta-Recap & Rate the Game: The Bears continue losing streak to Arizona, lose 3-10
Arizona didnt beat Cal. Arizona beat the stupid city of Berkeley and its rules.
Okay, so if anyone is interested, LA County had tightened COVID-19 protocols and then loosened them for football players in response to UCLA and USC's requests. The updated rules, published Aug. 24, allowed for "vaccinated athletes exposed to COVID-19 to continue taking part in practice and competition as long as they remain asymptomatic and test negative for five consecutive days." So, these are looser than Berkeley's 10 day quarantine. What I can't remember was whether the 10 day quarantine period was Berkeley's protocols before vaccinations were available. If so, it seems like Berkeley's protocols do not recognize that vaccinations lower the spread of the virus-even if someone tests positive (as in a break through case) , they statistically do not carry the viral load that unvaccinated people do. I wouldn't call Berkeley's policies arcane but I would say they are probably the strictest in the conference. On the other hand, Alameda County with 1.6+ million people has only had 1407 deaths from COVID since the start of the pandemic. So there's that.
