2020 Outlook for High School Football

[BEAUFORTEAGLESFAN]

Well the Governor is opening South Carolina back up. So that should be great news for High School Sports this upcoming School Year. If School is in session in August then there will be High School Football. It will be very interesting though on how they will do it. I know for me if the Stadium is open to watch High School Football I will be right there. . I hope and pray that we do have Football this year.

GO BEAUFORT EAGLES!!!!

Bored during a lockdown?

Call a woman's rights group and
ask to speak to the man in charge.

Well I’m just being selfish here, but my life has gone upside down since my best friend passed.

To be honest I wouldn’t mind one year off. I feel like I haven't come up for air in a while.

Think of how ramped up you’d get if we had to skip a year. It would be like skipping Christmas or something.

I think the voters will demand football this year in this state. If we suit up in August I’ll be there to watch the games. If we don’t play I won’t mind that much. It’s just a game.

Here’s an idea!

Let’s open EVERYTHING back up and just behave differently than we used to. Certainly that is a compromise. There has to be a curve.

We don’t change our social events just our social behavior.

So far I agree with everything spectator and likeitrnot said.

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.

Here is where you are erroneous, you are accepting the scdehc numbers as accurate and factual. Until we increase testing 5 fold in S.C and until we start testing people who die, which we don't, we have no idea how many cases or deaths that we have. The numbers are obviously higher than what is being reported.

If Coronavirus blows up because we opened up before we had the proper testing and protocol this news is a death sentence for high school football.

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.

Absolutely.

Today's news and it applies to football at every level, certainly doesn't look good.

I've moved a couple of posts.

Reminder: We don't do politics here.

At the very least, try to keep the political commentary to a minimum.
Information based sources, etc. as most have been doing....

Good Discussion to this point, just trying to keep it that way.

Thanks for posting at SCPrepTalk!
