Can Players Refuse COVID-19 Test?

It’s one thing if you are legitimately ill and go to doctor and need tested to get diagnosis but don’t go get a random test out of “curiosity” and open that can of worms.
Maybe it can be that easy. Refuse the test and if the state tries to enforce mandatory testing lawsuits and legal challenges would pour in.
And this is the problem right here. If you don’t take a pregnancy test does that mean you’re not pregnant?
However, you wouldn't take a pregnancy test if you had no reason to.
When did mandatory testing come into effect? Not aware of that happening....and it won't happen since no one has the $$$ to pay for it on a school wide basis.
It didn't, just don't understand why people are running out to get tested only to have their results used against all of our freedoms. I get it, if your are elderly and are sick, get tested, but no need for high schoolers to be tested in masses.
You don't have to get tested at all unless you want to lessen the amount of time you're required to sit out after confirmed exposure or presentation of symptoms. This time period per ISBE is 14 days. 2 negative tests separated by 24 hours can buy you back into activities.
Yeah there's a lot of mixed data out there on antibodies and how long they last. Just another super confusing piece to this disease's puzzle
I wouldn't know the answer to that question. I have never taken a pregnancy test or been pregnant. LOL.
I'd love to hear their symptoms and level of illness, as well as, how much it has spread from them. That's really the info we need.
Biggest symptoms and level of illness in teens with no other health issues is loss of scent and taste for a about 72 hours.
That’s what I continue to hear, but I’d like to hear it from those 36 people, since a huge decision was made based on them.
So the Lake Zurich kids actually got the Covid from non-social distancing socializing prior to the camp. Now those 36 kids go to camp and potentially infect, lets say, the whole football team. So camp is cancelled. The problem is, the 100 (? sounds like a nice number) other kids at camp are exposed. Lets say they properly quarantine and no one shows symptoms. But we know the great majority of kids will be asymptomatic if they catch it...so lets say 40 of the other 100 kids catch it asymptomatically, but we don't know which 40...so by August 1 76 of the 136 football players have had it and gone thru their quarantine. 56% of the team. Why should they have any restrictions on their season, since at 56% they are pretty much approaching herd immunity level...
But we know those 36 have had it and recovered...definitely why restrict them? Or is the next wave of fear that Covid is like the flu and can be contracted over and over, which should then kill the "we have to have a vaccine or effective treatment" arguments...and we should move on with life.
Making Chicago its own region, and the rest of Cook County another region, should settle some of this down...

Do we have a proven antibody test? Do we know for sure how exposure rate affects reinfection? Are we sure that every method of transmission creates equal risk of infection?
Same with the antibodies in plasma infusions. And the antibodies in a vaccine may also be effective for only a few months. Imagine the uproar from the anti-vaxxers, as well as the costs and logisitical problems, if everyone needed a booster shot five or six times a year.
