Depressing for whom?
people who want sports this fall and winter.Depressing for whom?
hoping you are right. But skeptical.Ahhhh to be young and invincible again. Sports will start after these kids totally disobey the guidelines and the proof becomes evident that the whole world will not fall apart and die. They are doing their part to solve the problem.
Now if this was happening at a Nursing home, then we would have some casualties. Although, it may be a very popular nursing home.
If you expect college kids to factor in the fears and paranoias of 60 year old bureaucrats and administrators into their Saturday night back to school plans, you're expecting too much.hoping you are right. But skeptical.

Again, I say Football for the Big 12 apparently will start but I am highly pessimistic it will not continue after a couple of weeks and cases start showing up. Young people may not worry because of how they react but They should take all of the precautions for their parents, grandparents and others even if we are "Paranoid". I do not agree with your "assessment" 100 tons of orange fury. This is a VERY dangerous disease and the heart problems it may cause hits every age group.It’s great news potentially for spring sports. Not good in the short term for the few remaining fall sports slated to try and start.
I did not expect much different, maybe a little hesitation and common sense used in the back to school parties.If you expect college kids to factor in the fears and paranoias of 60 year old bureaucrats and administrators into their Saturday night back to school plans, you're expecting too much.
I see a bunch of kids with an accurate and healthy assessment of their risk level living their lives in a reasonable and natural manner.
No problem amigo.At least tons is consistent. He has been lecturing the corral for months on this topic. Glad he could make time to share it over here also.
As I indicated their problems are everyone's problems whether they are symtomatic or not they can spread the virus and it is for the adults who should be telling them that. My children and grandchildren certainly follow distancing and masking procedures as should any responsible person. The thread on the corral is not where I would go to get my medical information. I can also tell you that I am not the only resident elder that posts on this board.No problem amigo.
And for the board elder oberebo, I'd ask you to read the thread on the Corral regarding heart problems, or lack thereof, and the risk assessment for 18-24 year old kids before castigating their behavior. Your problems and my problems are not their problems, IMO it is not for us to dictate how young, virtually risk-free kids get to live their lives.
If you don't want a very, very detailed account from a Mayo clinic cardiologist advising the Big12 on heart risks to college athletics, don't read it.As I indicated their problems are everyone's problems whether they are symtomatic or not they can spread the virus and it is for the adults who should be telling them that.

Look, I did not want to turn this into a political but CNN is only one of the majority of the media sans Fox that gives real information and not just you want to hear. Since when do we value Sports and football Fans on advice or information on medical issues and one Mayo Clinic Cardiologist does not change my opinion. You are entitled to your opinions as that is all that mine are-Opinions. My Opinion based on a love of all sports, is that we need to get this virus under control and thus more quickly get back to the important things like watching and cheering for all our sports heroes. I hope that your point is that we should not pay attention to the age 65 and older as they don't count as they are not playing the game and I do not in any way mean to infer that is your point. My opinion bottom line is that postponing the enjoyment of all sports in the short run will lead to full seasons and better health for all. I do understand that I tend to be pessimistic and I do believe starting football will in the long run will be detrimental to my sports enjoyment. You seem to imply I am not very well read which I know not to be true.If you don't want a very, very detailed account from a Mayo clinic cardiologist advising the Big12 on heart risks to college athletics, don't read it.
Your problems are not their problems. Read more research and watch CNN less.
It is great that we all pitch in and help each other and try to lighten the burden of others. But it seems unreasonable to make everyone lockdown or distance or live a life of fear when only a small % of people are really at risk. Those that are at risk should be taking special precautions, but to expect everyone to stop living seems a bit overboard.Look, I did not want to turn this into a political but CNN is only one of the majority of the media sans Fox that gives real information and not just you want to hear.

Frankly, I do not need your pity and I will not prolong this discussion. I have had my say and if I am right my overboard opinions will be proved true. I have no confidence we will play a full season and wrestling which is my favorite is just a pipe dream.It is great that we all pitch in and help each other and try to lighten the burden of others.

If you think CNN is one of many places giving real info. then I am sorry for you.

The reality is that very few of the kids will get sick-at least any more than the common cold.No problem amigo.

I agree with that totally.The reality is that very few of the kids will get sick-at least any more than the common cold.
The other part of that reality is the world (read politicians) aren't operating in the real world. All of this is based upon those that test positive-even if they never show symptoms. The more positive tests, the less chance of sports happening.
Sorry if I can't explain it better.
I have my doubts that we will have a full season also. Just to be clear- I was not giving you my pity.Frankly, I do not need your pity and I will not prolong this discussion.

That would be the bright spot if we had a vaccine. A spring season would be great to look forward to!I would not be concerned about the wrestlers, but we must be concerned about the welfare of our nation. Hopefully we get a vaccine late in the year or early next year and we can have a wrestling season. It may be delayed, but I want it bad.
