News Conor McKenna tests positive for COVID-19 - Wait, what?

[blue harvest]

Doesn't add up to me.
I suspect he got a small dose in Europe and it wasn't enough to show up on subsequent tests but for whatever reason it showed up as an irregularity and then a positive, tests aren't foolproof.
I guess his next test result will shed a bit more light.

Possibly, broom, sweep rug?

What's a little fudged test result to the AFL with $$m at stake?

Kinda like one autopsy saying George wasn't asphyxiated and another one saying he was...

So your in favour of fudging tests so for you money over people health and life's?

No. Didn't say that at all. Just suggesting there may be a way to get the test result they want and need.

I'll have to work on my expression, lots of people getting the wrong idea.

 

[Swerving Irv]

Gil's been on the phone to big boy Demitriou

"Nothing to see here!"

Do you actually have a brain?

 

[blue harvest]

The AFL flat out said no before being prepared to even look at it. The Vic teams refused at the time, to travel over and go into 14 day quarantine.

Source?
All I've heard is players from all states express strong concerns about hubs in particular the family aspect of it and their preference is not to go but they'll do it if really necessary.

Yeah with Tom Browne’s record him saying it might be a false positive probably means McKenna actually has super-Covid or something.

Eihh....to be sure....to be sure (In Irish accent)

Yea, it's turned terminal. Pray for Connor.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

A false positive is definitely possible. The guy taking the sample away from the Bombers did look a bit sketchy.

 

[JUSTWORK]

So he is now being tested again because it may have been a false positive? Gee there may be a few people looking a bit silly if he now doesn’t have it !

 

[Chism]

A false positive maybe.................


lol and what a farce this could turn out to be IF true.

I suggest you rephrase it, and lets not forget that Essendon have a bit of history when it comes to fudges

 

[Randomizor]

So AO or Optus for the grannie?

[Ant_]

Would lol if he ends ups being correct while other journalists are panning McKenna in the media

[compact72]

So how many other positive/negatives have been done and not accurate?

 

[Quokka]

The false positive theory was put forward by Xavier Campbell (Essendon CEO), Health Dept says its highly unlikely but further tests will be conducted to confirm or rule out.

It could well turn out to be a false positive but I don't think it's time to hand McKenna his hand written apology just yet.

 

[Alfonz]

Have the host family or the other people at the house inspection been tested (and results released)?

Source? I haven't seen this. Not saying it didn't happen but all I read was that it is a line of enquiry that they are following.
