Donovan Mitchell tests positive for COVID-19

I agree if you have to chose you chose Donovan....BUT. Donovan also knew about the virus. Was giving out sweaty shooting sleeves. Saw him throw a sweaty jersey to someone in Detroit. Saw several pics of him with random fans around SLC. Saw him sign jerseys on the road and beyond. Like....Rudy got it somehow....and Donovan wasn’t exactly being completely careful himself.
True, but that not my point. If Rudy was being that annoying guy in the lockerroom touching everybody's stuff even though they asked him not to, that's different than a player doing normal player stuff.

We all have that friend that drinks off our drink or takes a bite of our food, etc. Now just imagine if you asked him not to, got pissed about it, then he ended up giving you the flu.

Rudy acted like a clown in public with the media. Just imagine how obnoxious he might have gotten messing around in the lockerroom.

I agree, and Donovan has a legitimate reason to be upset if that was the case, but Donovan wasn’t being precautionary himself really is all I’m saying. I recall him rapping his arms competed around Rudy when Rudy was mad at a call a couple games ago. Like....I side with Donovan, you chose Donovan if they can’t come back from this, but just context.

he might be upset now which is understandable But really Rudy just randomly touching stuff is hardly likely to be how he caught it if he did from Rudy. Overwhelmingly more likely from more direct contact. Once this all blows over i'd be pretty bummed if they can't sit down as men and discuss it and make up

It seems somewhat likely judging by responses on social media between guys, it’s likely Donovan who said it and it got fed to Woj whether intentionally or unintentionally. We’ll see what their relationship looks like going forward I guess. Right now it doesn’t feel great, especially after it didn’t look like they were too close before anyway and there may have been issues even prior to this.

They have like at least 2 weeks without much other things to do to talk about it. They both have it, so they could even discuss it face to face, right ?
 
*HIPAA. There are a lot of things that don't fall under HIPAA, so it doesn't apply to every healthcare scenario. But I don't know in terms of who's ordering the tests and such. Different too in a public health emergency.

I think it's a given, Captain Obvious that hippa is an acronym. I'm not gonna make posting something an ordeal.
 
But talking seriously, Don has enough of a reason to be mad. He discovered now that not only he has it, but also that he could be passing it to his family, close friends, etc (like, just remember Rudy had symptoms, Mitchell even were at the building for the OKC game). And on top of that, Rudy, even if could not know he had the virus, while also just doing some innocent joke, and being infectuous independent of doing such things, he were acting reckless, so Mitchell has something to be mad right now.
 
I didn't know the virus going from Gobert to Mitchell is an established true. Just sayin'.
Yes, it very well could have been Mitchell giving it to Gobert. Just because one got tested first doesn't mean they had it first.

Even though most people have an incubation period that's short there have been people with it for 30+ days before showing symptoms. There's lots of options here.

I think you’ve missed my point as I wasn’t emphasizing that it’s an acronym. But, in any case, it’s the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Meaning that it applies to many scenarios with insurance, and isn’t an umbrella cover for all privacy. Yes, it encompasses most scenarios. But not all. I don’t know the logistics of how the testing happened, but by all accounts the team/league administered the test.
 
Healthcare attorney here — the HIPAA privacy rule applies to non-exempt disclosures of PHI (protected health information) by covered entities (hospitals, physician practices, etc.). It is not a blanket protection of medical privacy.

Woj is not a covered entity.

Carry on!

Yeah, dude. I missed it when you became that guy that put an asterisk next to hippa. Lol
 
Just saw Woj on Sports Center with Scot Van Pelt, said the Jazz are fortunate they don't have to come back together right now and start playing games again because things are not good between Donovan and Rudy. Also said there is a lot of frustration from members of the Jazz locker room towards Gobert and that the Jazz are going to have to rely on the leadership of Quin, DL and Zanik to try and repair relationships and get this team back on track.

This was just the breaking point. This was true before I think.

Honestly , I don’t think things have been good between Don and Rudy for a while now .

Jazz need to make this work ... No way you could trade Rudy for at least 6 months till this blows over ..

Right now , Rudy is being seen as the reason why the NBA has been shut down by the fickle , uneducated fan ...

The asterisk wasn’t to inform you that it was an acronym. I assumed you knew it was an acronym. It was correcting HIPPA to HIPAA. As the rest of the post indicates, I wasn’t doing that to be a dick.
