Quote from: David HardingThis belongs in a 2020-2021 thread, but I'm not going to take responsibility for starting that one.

The postponement of the summer Olympics by a year brings heartache those who have devoted a year to training. What does it mean for Cornell as a team next year?

Yianni gave no indication in a post-Olympic-postponement interview on Flo that he would not wrestle for Cornell next year. If he returns, I can't imagine that anyone else would also not return. Cornell will have an amazing, national-trophy caliber team next year.

Couldn't the postponed games interfere with next year just like they did with this year?

the games themselves, if held during the summer, wouldn't interfere with Cornell's schedule, though the Trials and other tune-up tournaments would. what klehner is saying is that Yianni said he wasn't planning to take another year off to train.

Yianni was on channel 3 news tonight in an interview and said he would not be in the large group that would take a 2nd yr off to train.. he will be at cornell, try to win the NCAA, then go to trials.

Also mentioned he doesnt want to be seen only as a guy who counters and wants to be the guy who can attack for 6 min and put fear in the other guy..

Interesting story in the IJ about the wrestling team this year... koll said his team was devastated by flu symptoms during the season and wonders if some kids already had the virus.

it's much more likely that they just had the flu. were there a lot of unexplained deaths in Ithaca that we don't know about?

Yeah, as great a coach and leader as Koll is, I don't think his medical analysis is especially prescient.

I don't know why you all discount this. There are/were many people having the COVID-19 virus without major illness. That's especially true of younger people.

Some genetic data now suggests the virus came to NY from Europe and earlier than has been recognized.

I don't know the student's symptoms, but I certainly don't discount it.

And the fact that there weren't deaths means nothing.

As of right now Tompkins County has 112 confirmed cases and no deaths.

Sadly the 1st death was reported yesterday

Who knows, maybe they did have COVID-19 rather than the flu. So many possibilities about this ever-moving target.

The death though is someone brought up from NYC.

And now the death of a second patient brought to Ithaca from NYC. https://ithacavoice.com/2020/04/covid-19-second-patient-from-nyc-dies-latest-from-tchd/

It is my understanding that all Cornell student athletes get flu shots because of the danger of illness running through a team. In addition, Cornell has a lot of international students who traveled home for winter break. And the red shirt wrestlers who competed in international tournaments and then returned to Ithaca to train with their Cornell teammates. So Koll's observation may not be that far off the mark -- plenty of opportunities for the guys to be exposed to the virus early on.

I'm with Jim on this as my boss and I were sick in January. I did 4 straight days in bed in order to recover.

I have no idea if it might have been C19 and thus want to be tested.
