When you fail to follow the guidelines for social distancing, wearing masks, not being together in large groups, that is intentional. When little Johnnie's mom or dad bring it home and infect Johnny, that is unintentional. After game parties is written all over this. I could be wrong, but given the guidance form Lord Marmalade, ignoring reality does not equate with unintentional disregard for public safety.
I can tell you Newberry's situation had nothing to do with parties. It is a small number of players, less than 5, asymptomatic, but since they were around other players, everybody sits 14 days.
Understood. These things were bound to happen and that is why I said that Jerome and company should postpone the playoff until after Easter Break so that everyone gets to play their 7 games. This will get worse before it gets better. You just cannot have large groups of people without mass infections. Such is the nature of this virus.
I agree it will get worse, what multiple did the number of teams postponing games go up by this week? All it takes is 1 kids playing in a game and 4 teams end up shut down. I've dealt with this twice already since youth sports were allowed to start back, once with summer baseball for high school kids and now once with 1 of our football teams. Making calls to parents informing them that their child was exposed to someone who tested positive isn't fun.
