2020 Outlook for High School Football

[spectator]

We will know in a couple of weeks if there will be football this year. If this rush to open back up that Trump is pushing blows up we can kiss football goodbye this year, high school and college for sure. We will soon see.

tlhalf the country is ready to open baxk up.you still have the option to stay home.noones making anyone go outside.
The quarantine cannot last forever period.
Regardless we will have to face it.no guarantees that a vaccines will even work.herd immunity will work.and is in a few countries.
Football will be played.

No disrespect. But the quarantine can last as long as it needs to, depending on where you live. I got enough stuff to live off the land and discourage those that may want to take what I need and love. Be prepared.

I’m prepared.

I’m prepared to move in with you when the shit hits the fan. I got beer.

Absolutely fascinating thread. Guess it’s no surprise how political the conversation gets about the virus.

I myself don’t give a flip either way. It’s no secret that we put dollar figures on human lives all the time. I think it breaks down like this....


...Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

43, I’d balk if you said you didn’t know the story of the Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B.

It’s interesting while we consider human evolution and natural selection and herd immunity, I wonder if the same thing isn’t happening right now?

The weeding out of non-essential businesses. The virus shuts down the economy so the economy responds by selecting for the most valued commodities.

Don’t want to alarm any Trump supporters but this virus may transform our economy. Surely we’ll see a boost in automation. And thinkers like Sam Harris believe the government might soon be paying you to stay home and not have to work.

@spectator -- herd immunity refute.

I'm not sure what you're basing your assumptions on, though I can see your quoted sources.

I'll quote a world leading research scientist that I know. "There won't be a vaccine for this. The only way we can get ahead of this is to build herd immunity."

I trust him WAY more than any boolean search you can type up.

That is all.

AGAIN, some of you think herd immunity means to run out and play in the traffic. It doesn't. It is a slow, step by step process. What are you questioning?

my daughter had this back in early january .before they had test as did quite a few at her medical office.
They have been tested for antibodys and it is confirmed.
We may have to get tested aswell.im guessing we won't test positive if we get swabbed due to low interaction .

No bodys saying get stupid but it has to happen.
The reality is noone knows how many have really ben exposed until thurough testing is done.

With hospitals and states getting extra money if the deaths are covid 19 related you wont ever have accurate numbers.
Its a chit show.
We neex to increase our rate of exposure period.
If im going to be exposed i choose summertime.

we need to listen to the medical experts, NOT THE CABLE TV PUNDITS.

OK FOLKS, this model is the one the White House has used and so far it has been very accurate. Doesn't look good at all for high school football in our state.

A new model released by scientists at the University of Washington predicts more than 137,000 Americans will die from the coronavirus by early August. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation said its updated death projection of 137,184 deaths comes as states reopen and social distancing requirements are eased. The new numbers come after the institute’s May 4 forecast of 134,475 deaths.
The findings show during the last few weeks, five states — Georgia, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and South Dakota — have seen at least a 20% increase in mobility patterns. In addition, 13 states have experienced between a 15% to 20% increase: Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Wyoming. While at least some of these patterns may be related to formal easing of social distancing policies, this upward trend in movement began in several places long before state-level mandates were relaxed. Unless and until we see accelerated testing, contact tracing, isolating people who test positive and widespread use of masks in public, there is a significant likelihood of new infections.

I've been watching that model for some time now, I linked to it when this topic was first posted. http://www.scpreptalk.com/viewtopic.php?p=37795#p37795

It has not been accurate. Here is a link to an article that discusses how inaccurate it has been.

Even the "historical" portions of the model are wrong. I've been watching the SC DHEC numbers from the last 10 days, SC has been averaging 8 deaths a day. These guys show the average over that period as being 15 per day.
