Because this country can't deal with normal flu and Covid. Sir. I suggest you talk to hospital workers in Dallas and Houston. It isn't okay.
Go hide under a rock in fear. Check your facts if they can be really verified. Schools should be opened in August. Find an elementary student who has died from this Covid-19. Everyone under 40 is 99% safe. It's only us old farts that might have issues if we have respiratory problems. College athletes might get sick for a few days and be done with it. Open this country up! Don't buy all this left wing bs. It's all about Trump.

Still not the point. ^ this isn't just about death. I feel pretty certain football won't be played. Can't be spreading this around.

Nobody has any idea what the kill rate of Covid is because nobody has any idea how many people have it. I think we are still under 2 million confirmed cases in the US. No way the actual number of people that had the virus is less than around 20-25 million. Can't compare it to flu because comparison at this point is almost meaningless. That doesn't mean this isn't a scary contagious virus. I sure don't want it.

No clue why Fauci would say anything about baseball in October because it is flu season. So what if it is flu season. Covid season is year round.

We will have millions less with the flu this year because (i) less people will be out, (ii) nobody is shaking anybody's hand and (iii) people are actually washing hands. Covid impact on flu numbers will be to dramatically decrease number of flu deaths

Ahh
This isn't about death, interesting, bc that's exactly what it was about at the beginning. And all the crazy estimates that were overblown.

Now that the Death rate is low(even with falsified deaths being called Covid deaths) of course the company line needs to change.

Such as

Everyone knows it

Positive tests!!

But of course, all these new numbers are not accurate

Football should happen. Tons of sports are already taking place.

No major sport in US is taking place.

Playing soccer in Germany but that is because they have virus relatively under control because German citizens can listen and use common sense. No soccer players as of the other day had virus.

We don't need to be dealing with Covid and the flu. That was the point. The hospitals couldn't handle it.
Double Diamond

That's not true. A virus nobody has seen is going to have things that aren't true at this point. It's always been about making sure we do not overwhelm the market.

Well here in the United States we are free. Interesting how 3,000 people dying on 9/11 scared Americans so bad we gave up endless amounts of freedom. And people hardly ever question this. But asking people to wear a mask after 120k of your countrymen die is a personal freedom too far.

Funny
Much more than German soccer is being played for major sports whatever that means.

Sports are being played and practiced at all levels both indoor and outdoor.

Dumb point then because you will be dealing with both flu and COVID whether you play major sports or not. Major sports teams are in much better position to trace and return to work safely than the average person. And major sports players make up what percent of population??

Talking US and only pointing out major sports outside of America are being played but nothing in US, sans some golf I guess that didn't need to shut down in first place. No baseball, no basketball and no hockey.

As I said sports at all levels are being practiced and played. Many in Texas.
Maybe I have imagined all the games and practices I have gone to. Baseball, soccer and basketball.
I need to tell all my Facebook friends to stop posting fake highlights of their kids playing sports.

Are there any documented cases of someone getting Covid-19 more than once?

Ah, your kids playing youth sports...does not exactly equal major/professional sports does it?

Kids next door are playing soccer in front yard too...not exactly the point.

So far only talk of major sports in US (again sans golf which shouldn't be an issue)...but so far no sports.

You serious? I'd be willing to bet $10,000 that nobody dies from a team in the SEC. Most healthy young people are asymptomatic and will only experience minor symptoms if any at all.

We will have a season. There will be players that miss 1-3 weeks during the season because they test positive. That will suck. But we will have a season. Too much money for everybody is at stake to cut football out of our economy.

120k including a disproportionate number of LTC residents in northeastern states that were forced back into nursing homes to spread the virus to the most medically fragile. In Texas we have 2403 deaths as of 6/29, and we had 2650 deaths from the flu this past flu season in about the same amount of time. Even in Texas the overwhelming majority of the 2400 deaths are from people over the age of 70. The number of people under the age of 25 that have died from COVID in the entire country is 141 as of June 17. 141 out of over 100,000.000.

Can you assure everyone that a positive football player won't infect someone else?

LSU can't afford not to play this year. They desperately need the money.


But at this rate of infection, there'll be less expense For LSU when hosting less patents and grandparents during parents weekend.

Quarantine them and test all players every week. It's not that hard

Of course not.

But I can say with certainty that based on current data, there is a larger statistical likelihood that a player contracts a fatal STI than there is a chance of contracting a fatal case of COVID.

This all makes me sad as well, but no football is a small sacrifice if we can get ahead of this one.

I guess you don't understand the size of summer baseball. The number of teams throughout this country. Tournaments everywhere from youth to college level being played. For 16u alone this past weekend there were 48 teams from all over the state playing four games each in Houston. And this is just baseball. Does not include basketball which started back up and soccer teams have been practicing with there seasons starting in a couple of months.

Major league baseball is fighting over money or they would already be playing. But now they are looking at starting in July.

Don't follow the NBA but appears they are trying to come back.

Hockey I doubt has the money or leadership to try.

Both college and pro football are working on it.

So yes sports at all levels are being played.

The Houston Mayor reported 1,317 new cases in the past 2 days, and 5 deaths.
Five.

That's a death rate of 0.4%. Let's play some ****ing football.

There are no "good" options with this. The disturbing thing is there is almost no discussion of the real economic damage and risks that are taken on with forcing people out of work. There are platitudes paid to it, almost exclusively on the conservative side, but scarcely little real discussion.

The social and economic consequences are massive. We're seeing just a taste of it with this Marxist uprising that's gripped the country and the amount of money being allocated to keep people out of work is essentially so large as to not be comprehensible in layman terms. Don't think for a second that the backdrop of the virus and the complacency of our citizens hasn't played a catalysts role in recent events.

Our politicians and doctors have done a comprehensive job of sowing fear of the virus. It is undoubtedly a severely virulent agent, so people are justified in respecting it. Real fear however should be reserved for the prospects of Great Depression or Marxist uprising. Most are too far removed from the Great Depression to fully appreciate it, but those who know their history know that it meant World War to cure the world of it. I've spent a good deal of time in the Soviet Union and can say unequivocally I want no part of any of the Marxist propaganda.

We need to be working and active in our daily lives. Do what we can, within reason, to limit the speed of transmission, but working age people need to be actively employed.

Well, no major sports are playing. Guess I missed the NBA games, the hockey games and The baseball games. Talk of playing is not playing. Really, not that hard to understand.

These sports might be played, they might not be...nobody can say. But what we can say is they are not being played now.
