in an article I was reading today about the Kaiser Christmas outbreak, the paper said it takes 10 days and isn’t more than 50%. Wonder where they get their info? I’ve heard the numbers you quote.

BTW, I don’t believe the Kaiser outbreak is due to someone passing through an area where e dry one was fully masked in an inflatable costume. Too many head scratchers there. Sounds like a diversion from some serious protocol breaches.

If there was evidence that it was spread through competition, that would be something. But from the little I’ve seen, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I was listening to Peter King (SI football guru) and he was saying there’s been no evidence of transmission from one team to another. For example, Tennessee had big outbreak and their prior opponent (one day before first of positive tests) had no cases immediately following.

I’m all for caution when there is a basis. There seems to be zero basis for this decision

sounds temporary from this article in the enterprise last month :

Bob Biggs is quoted often. He must be on the mend!

closed for good? I don’t know how Davis restaurants are surviving with the limited student population in town

I was talking to someone in the department and told him I had a hotel booked for the home opener. He said something along the lines of ‘yeah, uh, hope that works out’ . I’ll talk a 3 hour walk that day, laps around the perimeter of the stadium!

I’d be shocked if there are fans in the stands for spring football. At the current rate, I’ll be surprised if either basketball or football will be permitted to start any time soon

a lot of the Hispanic issues, I think, are economic based. Most of the laborers I see or deal with are Hispanic- hard to build a fence remotely from the safety of your living room!

Our numbers in Livermore are much worse than neighboring Pleasanton and Dublin, and folks want to blame it on our bustling downtown and wineries. I point out our Hispanic population is 3 times our neighbors and that our average income is some $40k less. I think that means we have many more working in the public and risking exposure. I also think traditions and behaviors contribute

I’m not a big Alabama fan (except for fellow Antioch guy Najee Harris) but you never see them pull any crap on the field. Minimal showboating, never any taunting.

Leach’s teams always play with that edge and here it just blew up. They should have nipped the crap in pregame but let it go. Hopefully not indicative of Tulsa since we’re there next year

I just get tired of the media latching onto one idea and running it into the ground, data be damned.

We have a cabin in the mother lode so I follow the news up there. Their numbers went crazy around thanksgiving into December. Indoor gatherings, of course. Well.......800 of those cases were in correctional facility in Jamestown. Officially, an indoor gathering!

The misinformation and hype, I think, has really fed into the fatigue and lowering of many people’s efforts.

Speaking of bowl games, how about the post game of the Liberty Bowl. One of the worse things I’ve seen in college football. Sickening. MSU kids seemed to instigate it from the pregame on. Good old Mike Leach, the ‘pirate’. His post game comments were bad - like it was no big deal

I think that was a big part. Also think MWC was pretty weak this year. Boise didn’t look good. Aztecs were below average. That being said big improvement for Spartans, glad coach is staying

thats my wife’s rant about COVID. There is the other consequence that after the protests, things opened probably faster than they should in response. Paper showed a picture of a ‘die in’ In San Jose in their year in review with 1000’s head to head for hours! Next to that was a picture of post election street celebrations with chanting and lots of hugs, granted with masks. And a BIG jump in numbers after both. Yet they harp on Thanksgiving gatherings and I can’t detect a change in the trend.

Still boggles my mind that bars in LA county opened soon after the protests.

Sorry my rant!

Fullerton has cancelled their first two BW games . Riverside and Long Beach are on pause.

I had heard second hand that things were going well

the past two seasons they lost a bunch of games by less than 5 points so they were getting closer. This year, the defense made a HUGE step up, while the offense was solid. They have a lot coming back (QB loss is big). Brennan has some ties to Arizona so that makes him a possible.

the Connor twins

that’s really shocking that those two schools signed no one. Maybe they’ll get some in February, but nobody in December?

besides the Ags, I don’t know who else there is in Yolo effected. High schools are prohibited by CIF. Are there other colleges (JC’s?) in the county? Pretty sure Woodland CC doesn’t field a hoops squad.

almost the whole state is in the 15% shutdown but only yolo and Santa Clara (to my knowledge) are prohibiting contact sports. That’s a county decision

I think those types of decisions frustrate the public. I’m in Alameda county which has been among the strictest. Governor came out with the 15% ICU shutdown criteria when our Bay Area region was at 25%. Well above,right? Next day Alameda shuts down because ‘it’s inevitable’. So we got a two week head start on the rest of our region. You can argue the 15% criteria, but it is at least a measurable criteria..... until it gets ignored by a local director. Sorry to go on a mini-rant.
