Just wondering...did Duke and Virginia use the same locker room at Greensboro Coliseum? Perhaps locker room cleaning/disinfecting protocols are an issue here.

Kansas out too.

Only about another 300 teams before we are natty champs!

I'd love to understand what the criteria is for pulling a team out of it's conference tourney considering that St. John's played on Thursday despite a Tier-1 member of the support staff testing positive and Isiah Moore getting caught up in the contact tracing. Given who is considered Tier-1 (managers, trainers, coaches, players), how does only one kid on the team get caught up in the contact tracing?

Kansas also

This is not possible. In order to catch covid from touching something, a sick person would need to sneeze/cough on a surface and someone else would need to touch it immediately and then put that hand straight into their mouth our eye. Scientists have been clear about this since May when the CDC updated their guidance on fomite transmission. Cleaning & disinfecting is theater to make people feel better but actually does nothing.

I was thinking more about ambient air recirculation issues, such as restaurants and the like, which have proven problematic.

I see, slightly different issue.

As I understand it, that is mainly an issue for people sharing the same space since the droplets the virus travels on can not stay airborne long nor can the virus live for very long on those droplets so while circulation is an issue when you and I sit at different tables at the same time in a poorly ventilated indoor restaurant, it is only an issue because we are in that space together allowing one of us to spread to the other in that short window. It also allows for sustained contact which again, can't happen if I left an hour before you arrived.
