Hey Trevor, it isn’t just about you. And no, being at home taking classes online is not the same risk.
So you trust college kids to stay at home and not go out to party when they have nothing else to do while being confined to their bedrooms? Good joke.

What Trevor said is 100% true. Players will stick with the guidelines more while on campus and playing because they won't want to jeopardize their teammates. Whereas if they are just back home, who knows what they will do. They aren't protecting anyone else.

Look at the NHL, NBA and most of the MLB. Teams/organizations that have taken it seriously, have been just fine
 
The nhl and nba are in a bubble.
Of course you left out the MLB because it doesn't fit your "bubble" narrative. The Marlins and Cardinals had two bad apples that went outside their team "bubble" and went against team rules, thus getting the virus.

But these college campuses will act as team "bubbles." They stay on campus. They practice on campus. They only travel to other places for games. Pretty easy concept to get a hold of and make work.
 
I hope they play and everyone stays healthy. I hope schools open up and no one dies. I hope no one gets sick and has long term lung, heart or kidney damage. But........
Since you can't seem to grasp this, let me dumb it down more for you...

Are players more likely to abide by cdc guidelines at home while just taking classes online with no purpose or on campus where they are confined to their athletic buildings with strict testing and health practices?

Let me dumb it down for you S n G. Trevor's check is already cut. He doesn't really care if he plays this fall. Having never been an athlete especially a college athlete you have no idea what goes on. Most rules about where they go and what parties they attend don't pertain to them.

Never been a college athlete? Bold statement from a guy who literally has no idea who I am or what I’ve done. I actually played college baseball for 4 years and then coached 2 years of it.

But nice try. I know exactly how it works! Sorry I didn’t just go to Jeffco and party at the Dairy Queen down the street.

That doesn't qualify you as a college athlete unless you played baseball in the SEC or some other major college, and 2 years of coaching doesn't qualify you as anything.

Haha if you only knew me bud.

Problem would be solved if the stopped testing for C19 on people who showed no symptoms.

But you know it's a huge money maker...cost 850 to 1,200 $$$ depending on who is doing the Test. Of course at the CDC it's like 22$ for the test but Hospitals and Labs want a piece of the action and the public wants more testing like that will some how slow or stop the spread. It won't and it can't.

I find it some what laughable that so many think they or the gov. or some policy can control this situation in America. Never was any Federal,State or Local Policy ever going to be followed, adhered to or not ignored by a significant percentage of the Population. Liberty before Life.....

Add in that a huge percentage of the Population saw through the Actual BS propaganda that was being spewed and it was a given that this was going to be the result. Most people have a better chance of being struck by lighting than being Killed by C19. A less than 1% mortality rate is going to be accepted by most people in America...even if that means between 700,000 to a Million are going to die. That's the Cold hard facts.

Nothing short of Martial Law would of worked and that path would of led to open chaos that makes the BLM Rioters look like Girl Scout's selling cookies.

How is it that you still understand the after affects of this virus. More and more they're finding previously young, healthy people that had and "got over it" only to find they have a permanent heart condition to deal with. THAT is at least part of the reason so many football schools are not gonna play. They don't want to be the cause of healthy young men having a life long heart issue.

NO not more and more....still rather rare for this to happen and we will not no the full effects for years the data will all be hindsight. And AGAIN you can't stop this virus from spreading It won't just disappear and go away. Policies where put in place to delay it and flatten the curve. That was done. The High Risk and Low Risk demographic needs to take precautions if they fill they are necessary. The High Risk and Low Risk demographics who fill they are not necessary should go about their business.

I agree that any football player who doesn't want to take the Risk should not. Others who do should be allowed to Play. It's not complicated. THEY will not cause any Healthy young man to have a Life long heart issue...they can choose not to play.

Also let's be realistic....that college age young demographic isn't paying much attention to the C19 anyway. The would be safer under the watchful eye of the Athletic program as opposed to being left to their own choices and devices.

The Risk is minimal the issue is will the Leftist media and Nut jobs organize the Players into some group who wants to Sue for Liability if someone get's it. It's about Money and Control.
 
Doogie Howser there doesn’t know poo about Covid-19 and bases his brilliant posts on his limited experience at a podunk hospital and whatever his girl tells him to say.

Well well again your only response is a Slur. NO logic no Data and no facts.

Rather sad to be you. Hospital Ain't Podunk .....over 12,000 employee's .....GF has a Microbiology degree and is a Epi RN and on a CDC task force. She is way more privy to information than your lame google search or Left Wing Media lies and CNN biased talking points.

I posted a Link to the actual CDC policy for non-symptomatic C19 postives....Go back to Work and live your life. We have Tons of Positive C19 Employee's working everyday within this organization. And so does the County Health Dept. They have Direct Patient contact. I think it's mind boggling you don't understand this and think that all the Known and Unknowns are not mingling within the 6 ft radius everyday.

You have ZERO clue and it's sort of funny that you think you do.

YES they are finding more young, and old, people that have this issue. That was not known for a while but they ARE finding more cases of it now. It doesn't matter if it's rare if it's you that gets it. My brother was found to have a 'rare' and aggressive cancer, he just took that to mean HE was one of the few unlucky ones. It took him within 2 years.
 
Are you saying we should never allow anyone who has had covid to stress their bodies? If not, what good does cancelling do? They aren't at risk (ever so slight) in your scenario until they've HAD it.
What are you talking about? I said IF they have had it can cause a serious heart issue and they don't yet know how long that will last.

Bad things happen to good people every day ....the only fair's are the World,State and County. It's called life. Sorry that your brother had a rare aggressive cancer, may Cousin died Friday, she found out she had Liver,pancreatic cancer Hours before she passed. I'm sad about it but that is the way the world works. The C19 is no different life must be lived and the C19 threat and long term effects are part of it, we can't hide from it.

People in America are so entitled they belief it's their birthright to die old and Grey at 89 surrounded by family and friends. And if they don't it's someones fault and blame must be spread around.....That is not how it works and it never will.

Yes and having a gastro infection can as well...along with almost any viral or bacterial infection.
 
I don't know it all by any means all this info is easily obtained from the CDC web site....it has been a issue with illnesses for a long time. But weirdly now it's a big issue and a Massive long term problem....without any real proof, just speculation and opinion.

I freely admit it might end up being a problem for a huge group of people in the future. But I also know that a ton of other things can also cause this issue as well. And those have got zero press and are not talking points ever.

I'd like some hardcore studies, data and legit statistics before crazy measures are taken and the Sky is falling narrative is Thrown out every where..But that's me.

I'm not ruling out it could be as bad as they say, but I'm also not swallowing their opinions as fact either.

Hard to have hardcore studies on a virus that's only been for 6 months but they sure are finding out it ain't just the damn flu.

Flu and C19 are different animals...but a lot of people compare it to the flu because it's as close to the same in the layman respect as on can get. While it's very hard on some demographics it is easier on others.

And as I stated no hard core data and won't be for years....so why throw out a bunch of opinion and scare tactics without any support?? Yeah think about it....and again because it's a Corona Virus the odds of finding a actually effective immunization is a bit of a stretch as well. It is very possible that C19 will be a everyday part of our lives forever going forward.

It is so comforting to have a Dr. Fauci, Jr making daily posts on this site. Telling us everything he knows about the pandemic as he waits for his call from the White House for his appointment to be the pandemic Czar. Keep the early morning news coming.

Don't they have a shot for cattle for various corona viruses? I assume it does some good or they wouldn't be giving it to them.

Not hard to find the info...it's out there, maybe check into it as opposed to just posting emotional drivel based on Left wing media bias.
 
He works in a hospital, yet he hates old people and anyone with more than 8% body fat. Those people are all worthless to society.


LOL again Lies. I mean it's comical that you are a 1 trick pony. Spew some SJW scary talking point to demean or devalue actual truths....People who fit a certain demographic are certainly at a higher risk. They should if they so choose take extra precautions, shelter in, wear mask's, limit contact and get tested quickly if they show any signs of C19. I strongly urge everyone to do that who clearly are at a higher risk.

Everyone that falls in the very very low risk category I support what ever measures they choose to take or not to take as they live their lives to the fullest. I do not want to take away their Freedoms and Rights and put undo restrictions on their everyday lives and the enjoyment they have every right to.

This is America and Liberty and Freedom must Be first and foremost in all aspects of the citizens that reside in this free nation. To lose sight of that Fundamental right is a vile evil.

My question to you is why do you want to Control with a Authoritative hammer the Freedoms and Rights of those who have Minimal Risk of catching or spreading C19? What type of Personality Traits do you fall under that you believe with a zealot passion that you have the Right and Authority to do so?...I suspect some Cluster B and Some Cluster C groups. You seem to want to Use your Own Illusion of Moral Authority as the final say and then to Lord that over everyone and to dictate to them how they should live and what choices they should make. And if anyone falls outside your Belief structure or doesn't adhere to your said credence ....Oh how quickly you want to try and Shame and embarrass them with trite, brutal comments.

I do find it rather amusing but maybe a outpatient visit to your local mental health service might even out your delusions of grandeur and disdain for those who disagree with your rather narrow world view.

Yes to help cattle with the scours....but not a actual one for one comparison. Corona viruses come in different strains I believe if I recall there are 4 common human varieties. Corona is just the identifier for Virus that look like a crown under a microscope.

When the virus hops from animal to human a new virus emerges. I'm not saying a vaccine isn't possible but it's not like it's a slam dunk.

I think everyone is just putting to much stock in a quick vaccine to set the world right....I hope it happens but I wouldn't bet my left Nard on it. I'm also bit skeptical about how effective it will actually be?

I'm a big believer in vaccine...most children vaccine are 90%+ effective so I urge everyone to get their children vaxed.

I've been vaxed for about everything possible.....

But I don't trust Big Pharm....they could trout out a 40-50% effective vaccine charge everyone and it might not be the end all to be all. I guess a partial vaccine would be better than nothing but at the end of the day no matter what we can't all live this way long term, live will find a way.
