82 women on roster; 83 men on roster, yet schools like MN and William and Mary can't handle track and field programs. Right!
Maybe Nebraska should put out an academic paper on how to balance Title IX within an athletic department.
Nebraska has had 375 consecutive sell outs of their football stadium that dates back to 1962. They have had 3 national titles in football and countless top 10 finishes. Yes, recently they suck at football, but that doesn't stop their rabid fans from showing up and traveling across the country to see the team lose and shelling out a fortune to buy merch. Nebraska football is an economy all on it's own. I've you've ever been to Lincoln on gameday, you would understand how odd and cult-like it is. What's my point? Nebraska football makes huge $$$$ that can support 100 women's track and XC teams. If you ever have some free time, check out the athletic and training facilities they have on campus. It's mind boggling.
5 National Championships
Been there. I’ve seen better track facilities as a HS. And they ever fix the brick road leading into the stadium?
I agree with the football cult but not impressed otherwise. Though the track & field numbers are nice. It just shows you can have a big team. I’m sure most pay their own way and have to fundraise. Why not have a big team?
Not much information other than they tested "positive."
Which company/health agency was U of Neb using for their testing?
Pretty sure they do not have in-house PCR testing facilities. Can that be confirmed?
What exact PCR test did they use?
What were the primers used in their tests?
What was the clinical diagnosis for each "positive" patient?
Most importantly what were the cycle thresh holds being used?
We need answers to these questions on a nationwide scale. These are fundamental questions that are being avoided.
For but one example:
For that reason, the scientific consensus of more than 100 studies of PCR tests recommend no more than 30 cycles (a “cycle threshold” of 30). Experts contacted by the NYT recommended no more than 30–35. The CDC found a very low probability of finding live virus beyond 33 cycles.
The threshold used by most states and most tests, however, is 37 to 40. That requires doubling virus samples another seven to 10 times beyond the point experts consider the limit for finding living viral material. The NYT’s exposé even specifically mentioned North Carolina:
“North Carolina’s state lab uses the Thermo Fisher coronavirus test, which automatically classifies results based on a cutoff of 37 cycles. A spokeswoman for the lab said testers did not have access to the precise numbers.”
Test results in three states were re-evaluated against the 30-cycle limit. Their findings were jarring:
“In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90% of people testing positive carried barely any virus, a review by the Times found.”
Huh? They have a better facility than any high school and 95% of D1 universities.

Yeah, I forgot the Devaney titles. I could get stoned to death at NU for doing that.
We can surmise that they are infectious enough to be infecting each other. So, there is that.
But carry on with your crazy, possibly paid, rants.

I didn’t see any place in this article where they actually identified the actual number who tested positive. When they just use the word “several” it’s easily assumed it isn’t that big of a number of issue but they want to continue to fear mongering and panic. Several can be 5 or 35. It’s rather interesting that they didn’t give the actual number.
i am in partial agreement with Allen53 about CT values and in particular that they must be made known, but this 'newspaper' is a blatant misrepresentation.
IF YOU READ THE SCIENTIFIC PAPER (written by Didier Rauolt inter alia) then you will see the entire discussion is about discharge criteria and reducing infectiousness AFTER hospitalisation. And it seems very reasonable. 10 days and CT 30. Looks good.
BUT IT IS NOT ABOUT FALSE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS. For initial diagnosis you need high ct values to pick up low viral load during incubation.
Another real problem with high CT values, and now i mean >37 is contamination. As far as i know, noone is checking this, and since it is most likely to be lab, or batch handling issues, then it should be obvious by high localised positives in the batches or labs.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Covid wiped out thousands more of this sub-human, pathetic filth?
Nobody is sick from it. They need a test to tell them they are sick.
COVID is a farce

There're 41,000+ in the hospital right now sick from it, in addition to the 1,000 per day that die of it.
False positives are the name of the game :read it and weep
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/29/health/coronavirus-testing.html
inflate the numbers so all will be " dying " to get the vaccine ( with an inbeded tracking chip
no less) .
They are mostly probably sick from something else, almost nobody dies from COVID, they die with COVID. If I have a heart attack and a stroke but happen to have COIVID supposedly I died of COVID. At this point too I'm sick of the cowardice too, everyone who believes this is super lethal is a coward, they don't mind everyone dying of Cancer, Strokes, Suicides, Heart failures and starvation as long as they are "protected" from a disease that kills 0.005% of people under 30 and super low rates under 60.
Did you know 150 million+ are going to drift into extreme poverty because of people like you, when we aren't working the third world is dying:
3 MILLION missed cancer scans, in my country England these people are left to die:
1.4 Million diagnosed Tuberculosis cases,
Crisis of mental health,
Collapsed economy,

Lonliness,
And everything else that is going wrong for a disease that can barely kill anyone on their own. The people who die where on the verge of death they had heart failures, liver failures all kinds of things. Locking down and destroying everyone lives won't protect them from a virus. Who gave you such a stupid idea anyway, stop watching the TV.
Look at this, Europe went mad when a 21 year old died of it (even I thought it was scary), he had undiagnosed Lukemia,

Also all the athlete will be okay, I had someone who had it in my class recently. He texted me saying he had it, I told him to get a grip. It's like telling me I have the flu, you'll be okay, but the fear and cowardice is making my blood boil at this point. It's like someone who's drowning and you try and rescue them but they continue to flail around, potential drowning us both.
People who still believe it's lethal to healthy people under the age of 80 or believe locking down even helps are just muppets, even the UN said lockdowns don't work,

This website is turning into a QANON recruiting ground.
Let me guess, Obama/Biden/Clinton are going to jail for pedophilia too huh?
smh.
Get a grip people. Not even Trump is disputing the 220k deaths under his watch. He's saying it could have been 2,000,000. But he did an amazing job at limiting it to only 220k+ ... soon to be 400k.
The brainwashing is real.
lol at this guy ^^^^^
thinking that anyone is going to click on any of his 42 links after he so clearly demonstrates how clueless and misinformed he is about the subject right from the start.
People are still clinging to the "It's not actually killing anyone narrative.....still?
In face of all the over whelming evidence showing that this is demonstrably false?
that hundreds of thousands more people are dying, and NOT from the lockdowns....and NOT from missed cancer screenings.....and NOT from suicides....or overdoses or whatever other unsubstantiated claims the deniers want to make. Those were all small barely noticeably blips when this was at it's peak in the US in April.....unless you want me to believe missed cancer screenings and extra suicides suddenly started killing tens of thousands per week after just a couple weeks of soft 'lockdowns' and then steadily trickled off as the lockdowns stretched on for months.....yeah that seem logical lol.
COVID might kill a million people in the US alone by the time it is done and people will STILL claim it is fake news.
We truly are in the post-truth world.....
This is a liberal paper. Why don't you care about people around the world instead of only worrying about yourself?

We can surmise that not one of them is in anyway seriously sick or there would have been some mention of it.
So we have a bunch if tests that tell us people who feel fine -- or, maybe, have a mild cold (and I stress maybe as we don't even know this is the case) -- are "infected".
So infected that they need to take a test to know it.
Time to wake up.
This covid pandemic is nonsense.
Get ready to go back into lockdown and have lives ruined so that the Oligarchs can have more money, more power, more properties and the rest of us can have nothing.
