They should have spent the summer kissing, hugging and loving up on each other. Get it over with in a big wave, and put it in the rear view mirror. The genie is out of the bottle, and it is not going back in
Thank you for the clarification. When I visit for a game, I can't even sit still in my hotel room.
You don't think these students visit their parents and other relatives etc? Are you that concerned with games being played?
I think you are cherry picking. I think these student athletes are in the best place they can possibly be. Where else in society are people being tested weekly? First responders? Big box employees? Public transit workers?
And pray tell, please share exactly why you think I don't want normalcy? I am concerned with all of these deaths and the potential of me or my family members getting sick from others who don't appear to care. Sorry if you don't like or can't accept that concern. And for your information, I would like CFB games to be played, if that can be done safely. Unfortunately, alot of the people out there who want these types of activities to proceed don't seem to care about the consequences. That is my point.
You are citing in this thread, the threat of grandma visiting Champions Hall as a reason to not play this fall.
are you not maintaining proper distancing, avoiding touching your face, and washing hands / proper hygiene? regardless of whether it's COVID, influenza, or any other similarly transmissible virus those steps have always been there for personal protection thus limiting your ability to infect family and friends.
I was just replying to what the poster appeared to be insinuating, that there is no concern of infection spread by players. The example used in the previous previous post mentioned Champions Hall. My point was that this fact does not change the possibility of infection of visiting family members in other venues.
The poster was saying that if the players are smart and careful, that hopefully the spread of the virus can be minimized. You came in with parents, grandparents and teachers. In most cases teachers aren’t in the equation as classes are remote. Not sure why there would be contact with parents or older relatives, but if there is, be smart like everyone else. Social distance, wash hands, wear masks. Just like my family members that work at Costco. We are keeping Grandpa at a distance. Everyone wears a mask.
The biggest enigma is the confusion with testing positive with little if any residual effects and those that truly are the ones with the major risk ie DEATH. I believe it is 92 % for those over 55.
This should end all discussion. Safest place a 20 year old can be in regards to the virus.
protecting our seniors and the vulnerable is paramount, they are by far the most vulnerable. if a person is over 65, or has diabetes, heart disease, alzheimers, cancer, or is otherwise significantly of compromised health then extreme precautions are very necessary.
