I hear ya! Florida, Texas,and California are sinking our chances at opening day vs MSU! I'm not even a Democrat,but Pritzker is doing much,much better than Florida and Texas! Dang!...no football. People better pick it up quick or there is no shot at numbers dropping to a point where it’s safe enough for schools to give it a shot.
Not a Dem. Sure could have fooled us.I hear ya! Florida, Texas,and California are sinking our chances at opening day vs MSU! I'm not even a Democrat,but Pritzker is doing much,much better than Florida and Texas! Dang!
Dem, Repub, Trumper, whatever - please please wear a mask.Not a Dem. Sure could have fooled us.
I live in Arizona and we have the highest per capita case count for the last couple weeks. Quite bad here.I hear ya! Florida, Texas,and California are sinking our chances at opening day vs MSU! I'm not even a Democrat,but Pritzker is doing much,much better than Florida and Texas! Dang!
Be smart and stay safe! It was really scary here out east in April but at least we were on total lockdown so we knew were doing something to stop this. Wondering whether we can stop this surge in its tracks in these other states now while people are still trying to go about their daily lives is really worrying.I live in Arizona and we have the highest per capita case count for the last couple weeks.

I think the most likely scenario is a start and then stop before any schedule can be completed. Players in every sport at every school will test positive. I have yet to hear about what the plan is when that happens. A big ugly gets the virus, do we quarantine him or the entire trenches that he battled with all week in practice. Etc Etc Etc.I 100% support this notion. "Pull a New Zealand, make this thing go away, and you can have your sports back. Until then, put on your adult pants and act like a grownup."
Sports Should Not Be Happening Right Now

This is the part that drives me crazy with people refusing to comply. If we all make some small sacrifices to reduce spread, then the virus runs out of hosts and it dies!! Right now, that is our best chance to beat this thing. Starve the beast!!Please note the story of the Springfield MO Great Clips. A stylist was infected and symptomatic for Covid and saw 140 people getting haircuts. Both stylist and client were always wearing masks, and no one tested positive. Many were put into a quarantine for 14 days due to the exposure but again, no one caught the covid.
If people are conscientious about wearing masks. We can have football. We can have school. Maybe someday soon we don't have to wear them anymore because cases are negligible.
Nobody returns their grocery carts in this country because it’s their right not to, too. Oh, wait.This is the part that drives me crazy with people refusing to comply.

is that you Mr. Pence?Nobody returns their grocery carts in this country because it’s their right not to, too. Oh, wait.
Oh please! what does Science have to say compared to FOX news. Fake Science!Masks matter! A nice review just came out in Science this week talking about the role of aerosolized droplets in spreading infection from both asymptomatic and presymptomatic carriers. The bottom line is that the social distancing guidelines of 6-feet are based on research from the 1930's on larger droplets. SARS-CoV-2 may very well be traveling much further distances in smaller droplets. So while distance certainly helps, our best weapon right now is masks! I am quoting one key paragraph here:
Airborne spread from undiagnosed infections will continuously undermine the effectiveness of even the most vigorous testing, tracing, and social distancing programs. After evidence revealed that airborne transmission by asymptomatic individuals might be a key driver in the global spread of COVID-19, the CDC recommended the use of cloth face coverings. Masks provide a critical barrier, reducing the number of infectious viruses in exhaled breath, especially of asymptomatic people and those with mild symptoms (12) (see the figure). Surgical mask material reduces the likelihood and severity of COVID-19 by substantially reducing airborne viral concentrations (13). Masks can also protect uninfected individuals from SARS-CoV-2 aerosols and droplets (13, 14). Thus, it is particularly important to wear masks in locations with conditions that can accumulate high concentrations of viruses, such as health care settings, airplanes, restaurants, and other crowded places with reduced ventilation. The aerosol filtering efficiency of different materials, thicknesses, and layers used in properly fitted homemade masks was recently found to be similar to that of the medical masks that were tested (14). Thus, the option of universal masking is no longer held back by shortages.I bolded one sentence for everyone to see. If you won't wear a mask for others, wear one for yourself and your family!
It was madness - but what were they to do? Given the epic failure to timely direct a surge of production of masks and other PPE, they knew that masks would be hoarded by the civilian population and by price-gouging profiteers -- to a far greater degree than happened anyway. Since there was a complete failure to boost supply, they had to do what they could to keep demand from skyrocketing.The top pandemic experts in Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. thought it was madness when the CDC initially advised Americans not to wear masks/face coverings (it was pretty evident that it was BS to cover the fact that there weren't even enough masks for medical professionals).
