As I’ve said before about Michigan, the Wolverines seem to have a solid handle on dealing with coronavirus.
While some teams have just been decimated by the virus, Michigan has not let things get out of control, and they should be applauded for that.

Having said that, nine tests isn’t great, and it’s certainly trending in the wrong direction. The latest round of testing made up 31% of all the positive cases the athletic department has had.
I’m not a math genius, but it would seem like Michigan would want that percentage to trend down and not up.
Still, there’s no doubt that the Wolverines have handled coronavirus better than most, and I don’t think there’s any reason to panic.
