Now with the Governor's response to the issues of youth sports lets apply them to high school sports and how they could apply, plus some new questions that were asked to me today. You can read the guidelines attached below:

https://governor.sc.gov/sites/default/f ... 0FINAL.pdf

1. If a player is found to be infected does that mean the team and coaches (Both Teams) will have to be quarantined for 2 weeks?
2. Since the State is strongly recommending that the players travel to contest independently does that suggest no more team bus rides?
3. No licking fingers or spitting, wonder if that will be a 5 or 10-yard penalty? LOL
4. Who is going to keep up with the 30-80 water bottles
5. How do you social distance on a football bench with 40-70 players and coaches?
6. Concessions are going to be a nightmare!! LOL
7. Define unnecessary physical contact, football is contact!!
8. Will there be no Jamboree's since the facilities have to be cleaned and sanitized between contest?
9. And the poor women's bathroom! LOL

Go ahead and laugh and make your comments but some of this will be very real for some folks. I am just bringing it up for conversation.

All great questions and very real issues. I am tracking the daily number of cases and Thursday's 199 new cases, yesterday's 245 new cases and today's 248 new cases are 3 of the highest numbers so far. I think to predict ANYTHING right now regarding high school football this year is a "bridge too far", in Dr. Fauci's words. If these new case numbers continue to stay where they are or rise the possibility of seeing football this year is very, very slim.

Whew, thats a sigh of relief....You are tracking daily numbers of cases. Good to know, since your analysis is more qualified than DHEC's daily updates. Fortunately, you are not making decisions and your opinion (or any of us on here) doesn't matter. The Superintendent will be making her AccelerateED committee's recommendation to the governor this week to open schools this fall and facilities effective June 8th-15th for summer workouts. The word is that the Governor will rubber stamp that recommendation (as he has done every other committee recommendation so far). At that point, the Governor will allow facilities to re-open and individual school districts will then have the authority to allow students/teachers back into the facilities.
As for your quoting of cases, its clear you are missing the point. DHEC has noted DAILY that cases are likely not to see significant drops as they are doing exponentially more testing than this time a month ago. Government officials have been focusing on 2 things. #1 hospitalization (as of Saturday, that was only 461 TOTAL patients, STATEWIDE, were in the hospital due to COVID-19 or suspected COVID-19 cases). We have over 12,000 potential hospital beds, so as you can see, the hospitalization rate has plateaued and not grown at all. Secondly, they look at percent positive cases and it continues to be less than 5%.
With all of that said, none of this matters to you, I get it (we all get it). You have your bias and thats fine. At the end of the day, YOU need to realize, however, that high school football is happening this fall. All of the information shows it, you just have to be willing to accept it, even if you don't agree.

LOL. Agreed. Ha.
Thats the reality though, daily cases will continue to ebb and flow. Government officials are making decisions on timing to open things back up based on hospitilizations and percent positive. As has been said from the beginning, this has never been about keeping everyone from getting the virus, that is truly impossible. Instead, its about keeping it from running over our healthcare system.

So we can go ti pools the beach ect.we can trust our coaches to train and teach our children the great game of football.we trust them to spot our kids with 100s of pounds over thier necks.
Condition 8n some of the mist humid areas in the united states .and the highschool league cant figure out a step by step guidance to get practice and structured conditioning
Going.
A total failure by Jerome singleton and company once again.
How many decades are we going to let this guy do a piss poor job with no consequences.
He shoukd have been gone when his kids pkayed highschool sports.
I believe the head of the schl should change every so often.
Regardless of the COVID-19 situation.thus is just another
Example of incompetent management.
Change has been needed.

Not to put a wet blanket on the Jerome Singleton bashing (as I too agree wholeheartedly he has done poorly), but the SCHSL is set to unveil the workout schedule tomorrow which will include the start of summer workouts in early to mid June. The plan has the season starting on time and is a 3 phased approach. The plan is an extremely cautioned approach, but it gets football started back on time.

i don't know what your obsession with me is, but, the numbers do not lie............we are consistently seeing around 250 cases per day now and we know there will be increases after the recklessness and ignorance displayed this past weekend.......i can assure you that we will not be doing much of anything as long as these numbers are where they are now............it is true, some of this increase in numbers is due to increased testing, but, these are real cases and we must wonder if these numbers would go even higher if the testing was done at the level it should be..............i track these numbers because until they go way, way down, football is just a fantasy.............

[spectator]

I would think that unless the virus just goes away which
does not seem likely,it will be a 100% chance that some
football players will have the virus during the season.

I agree, and that is when the season ends........
