  • UC President: Campuses will need testing, contact tracing, etc. in order to open
    Jake Curtis: "Since Nevada, with its 5,300 confirmed COVID-19 cases, is likely to return to normalcy more quickly than California, with its 52.000 coronavirus cases."

    Nevada has a population of 3 Million? :chin:

    Did Curtis ever consider Nevada's population of 3 Million? :chin:
  • Football in the spring?
    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?
  • Lawsuit filed agains UC, CSU, over response to pandemic
    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.

    "Here are two emergency room physicians in Kern County going through local, state, national and international data and concluding that lockdowns are not only unnecessary, they are dangerous. Child molestation, domestic violence on the rise. Must see TV."

    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:

    I should have added a s/.

    Isn't the typical Sac State BA earned on the 8-year plan?
  • San Jose game out?
    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?

    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.
  • San Jose game out?
    Looks like I mistakenly used a wrong number in my calculation. My bad.

    Nevertheless, recent tests by Stanford, USC, & Los Angeles reportedly reveal that early estimates were massively wrong on a historic scale. While transmission appears prolific, mortality rates appear to be similiar to the seasonal flu.

    Here is an interesting 'hot mic' clip commenting on these recent developments from the White House press room.

    I left off the infected number. I think it is 8,500? Which gets us the .002 mortality rate, right?
  • San Jose game out?
    CoCo County has 19 deaths for over 1.2 Million people, with a .002 mortality rate?

    San Luis Obispo County has 260,000 residents, and 1 CV death?
  • Picnic Day
    +1.

    Or June Madness, even with limited or no fans. It would give us something to be uplifted & unified together. ... MLB playoffs in the Fall... take-out orders up, unites kids & parents.
  • San Jose game out?
    If the argument is a possible, temporary budget shortfall ... then how about furlough unneeded staff.
