    Hallowed Dr. Fauci even downplayed masks and 'silent carriers'. The CDC didn't advise us to wear masks until April 3rd.

    And you played the race card, similiar to how Joe Biden called our President a xenophobe for shutting down travel from China at the end of January. (Biden had to apologize, and everyone else ignores that that one decision easily saved tens of thousands of American lives.)

    I agree, but let's not uncritically anoint any scientist or supposedly impartial agency as god.

    We were told this virus would exponentially grow every 1-2 days - wrong. The WHO and its possibly corrupt leader kept us in the dark for over a month while shielding China. Dr. Fauci said there was nothing to worry about in February and March, and now some see him as devine.

    There are some liberals who have said we need these lock down measures for months or years longer, while simultaneously wanting the Federal Government to print them more money. Jerry Brown and his administration depleted our previous emergency stockpile of ventilators, hospital beds, large mobile hospitals (3) and PPE equipment.

    Last I checked San Francisco had 19 deaths - 19 deaths - but they may lose up to 50% of their small restaurants. Will there be a cascading effect with other small businesses, commercial & residential real estate? Drug overdoses are way up.

    NPR: Coronavirus Is Contagious, But Kids Seem Less Vulnerable So Far

    "As the case count of coronavirus infections continues to rise in China, the number of reported infections among children is remarkably low.

    "We're seeing [about] 75,000 total cases at this point, but the literature is only reporting about 100 or so pediatric cases," says Terri Lynn Stillwell, a pediatric infectious disease expert at Mott Children's Hospital at the University of Michigan."

    Not political? For many it is. It is at least for the politicians & mainstream media. Nancy Pelosi has held up funding several times to load up Corona CCP Virus funding bills with unrelated Pork.

    Democrats and the media are attacking the President while they defend China!! Defend China? China: 1) hid critical information for over 4 weeks; 2) closed down travel from Wuhan, but allowed them to travel internationally - infecting the world (not Beijing or Shanghai); 3) bought up over $2 Billion worth of PPE during the gap; and 4) still has deadly wet markets.

    HCQ & Zinc is an interesting case study. It is cheap (generic), well known, and safe - with a 4-decade track record treating lupus & malaria. Now it receives odd put downs and a supposed negative critique - from a whacky study. The press jumped all over it. Why? Because the President said it may be helpful?

    Governor Cuomo has been having fancy press conferences for weeks patting himself on the back - meanwhile his Health Department mandated that released Covid-infected seniors go back to rest homes! Maybe this is just incompetence, I don't blame them for the apparent subway transmission issue. But this nursing home situation is appalling; same for not acquiring any of the 16,000 ventilators his emergency task force recommended he acquire in 2015.

    So we have these parameters / facts - not New York.

    1. Big Sky not in a hot zone.
    2. Infection rate extremely low for youth.
    3. Medical system not overwhelmed & we're up to speed.
    4. This virus reportedly dies off in the summer.
    5. New data suggests an extremely low transmission rate outdoors.

    6. Full lockdown in Western Europe had no effect?

    We could prohibit fans over 70 from attending games...
  • Football in the spring?
    I've seen stats that claim the infection rate for the 21-40 age group is phenomenally low. Many factors to consider.

    If players were tested weekly or even bi weekly, and before games - say, temperature and or swab - the risk is possibly quite low. Very complicated considering the student funding of athletics. Do we even know of any pattern of the spread in athletics?

    Our numbers are driven by 8-10 metro areas & disastrous NYC nursing homes & potentially the subway. Yolo County, San Luis Obispo County numbers very low, same for Montana, Utah, Idaho.

    No college wants to be the first. If given the facts, could student-athletes be given an Assumption of the Risks waiver before competing?

    I believe our student contribution level is not the norm. There have to be options for one quarter - for example, furlough 95% of the department for one quarter.
  • COVID-19
    Lubacy! New York State Health required nursing homes to ADMIT or RE-ADMIT COVID19 sick patients!

    #2. Then, they couldn't even ask about their CV status.

    NY nursing homes accounted for almost 25% of NY CV deaths.

    Kicker: the USS Comfort & Javits Center sat near empty.

    Why spacing & masks? Two California doctors debunking our actions today (not 2 months ago). Highly recommended video.

    Well, he's apparently right about New York ventilator demand, Communist China, heat potentially killing the virus & HCQ. 4 out of 5 not bad. :mask:

    Some reports said gov't reimbursement at $17,000 for Covid admission; $36,000 if they go on a ventilator. One example.

    Should schools be sued if someone gets the flu?

    Most deaths - which are rare - are with people over 70 with multiple comorbidities.

    Test every player's temperature before the game. Anyway, still way too early to tell.
  • San Jose game out?
    No expert here, but 18-19 Spanish Flu also seems like overkill.

    I've also heard discussions on various ways we currently count CV19 deaths - with CV19, or from CV19? And are there financial incentives to declare CV19 cause of death?
  • San Jose game out?
    234 support staff?

    Why not test for temperature?
  • San Jose game out?
    Way too early. Probably under the spell of the Love Gov. Stanford, USC, and Los Angeles recent studies reportedly reveal a virus that spreads far easier, but with a mortality rate equivalent to the standard flu. Way too early.

    "In 1957, Asian flu killed 116k Americans, the equivalent of 220k in today’s population.The Eisenhower generation didn’t strip grocery shelves of toilet paper, confine entire population to their homes or lay waste to the economy.They coped and got through."

    BTW, Sweden an interesting case to follow.
