Brace yourself for NO 2020-21 COLLEGE SPORTS!
COVID-19 is no longer a hoax. 1M tests/day will probably NOT be enough to test, isolate, trace, and quarantine the amount of people necessary to allow a lessening of social distancing by this fall. Sadly, we are nowhere near accomplishing this. We are now testing only around 100K/day.
No lessening of social distancing would mean no college football games/crowds this fall.
No college football games/crowds this fall = no revenue = no money for any college sport.
Football (and other sports) will be difficult to play this fall anyway since there will definitely be individuals (players, coaches, and others) involved who will test COVID-19 positive resulting in disruptions in the program in numerous avenues.
There is no treatment for COVID-19 and no immunity to COVID-19. It can cause significant medical problems even in a healthy adult.
COVID-19 is a WORLDWIDE pandemic. COVID-19 will lessen in the US this summer but will definitely NOT "go away." It will be here when colder weather returns this fall.
It is unlikely that our way of life will return to "normal" until there is a vaccine against COVID-19 or until worldwide herd immunity.
It will take AT LEAST one, possibly two years before a vaccine against COVID-19 will be available.
Please stay home as much as possible. Follow the CDC GUIDELINES as strictly as possible.
Save your money. Protect yourself and your family. Good luck and BE SAFE.
