Cal Berkeley was forced to postpone its game Saturday against USC over what’s being called a major COVID-19 outbreak on the team:

Berkeley’s AD said in a press conference that the team is 99.5% vaccinated:

But, in spite of this, there were 44 recent lab-confirmed cases among players and staff:

From SFGATE:

In a statement provided to SFGATE, Berkeley’s Department of Public Health laid out previously unreported details about what is clearly a major COVID-19 outbreak in the Cal football program — including that at least 44 people in the program have tested positive for COVID over the past week or so.

“Berkeley Public Health continues to work closely with University Health Services to help contain and respond to a major COVID-19 outbreak involving the coaches, students, and staff in the Cal Football program,” the statement begins. “All of these 44 lab-confirmed cases involve people infected with highly contagious COVID-19, which spreads easily unless public health safeguards are used.”

It would be helpful to have some context on these cases, however, because if the majority of these are asymptomatic then WTF are we even doing and how will things ever get back to normal:

Players on the team are making their frustrations known:

Journo Avinash Junnath says his sources at Cal are “frustrated” because “other programs are likely experiencing COVID outbreaks while failing to play it safe” and they’re being penalized by the City of Berkeley’s much more strict local protocols:

Kunnath reported earlier that Cal was not enforcing the local protocols, however:

And other games could get canceled as well:
