What's your best guess as to when trainings will resume?

Note the chart of deaths in AZ I just posted above. So while the state of AZ is showing increased cases (we have ramped up testing) take a look at deaths per day and see how fast those are dropping off.

The chart above comes from the state of AZ.
I think we are in agreement....was just noting that we may in part be seeing a reduction in the severity of cases due to people being outside in the sun getting Vitamin D. Which studies have shown a correlation between Vitamin D deficiency and increased severity of the affect C19 has on a person.

This would explain several other anecdotal observations from Italy, GA and TX.
 
Similar chart (I think) for San Diego from the San Diego Union Tribune.

Ok, to make an "apples to apples" comparison, I took the daily hospitalization below and created a 14-day moving average to compare with the positive test 14-day average you have above. Now, a 14-day average will really lag when things are changing quickly (up or down). Notice the positive cases starts dropping about the first few days of May then levels out about May 24 - a three-week drop. If you look at hospitalizations, notice they start dropping about two weeks later (May 17). Assuming other factors haven't changed, we'd expect another week of dropping hospitalizations as they have been dropping for two weeks.

A little more on the virus and children, according to the CDC, the fatality total among children under 18 without an underlying condition is 1. .

It is clear that kids are not at great risk for covid. My son has asthma and believe it or not I have not been able to find to much info on his risk level. His doctor said he would think he would handle it about the same as the flu. I'm not to sure that we know enough about the virus to feel comfortable with that answer. Anyone have any other info regarding coronavirus and asthma in teens?

There's not a whole lot of data but they are beginning to think asthma does not enhance the risk a lot. The virus may leave asthmatics more weasy though afterwards and short of air. The reason is because COVID seems to be not primarily a respiratory disease but a systemic one attacking the circulatory system, digestive system and nervous system as well as the lungs.

 
Unclear how mandatory the new US Soccer timetables are, but if CalSouth sticks to them: 1) it means unless we started in the next 2-4 weeks the fall soccer season is unlikely to happen. Given Los Angeles County will likely run several weeks behind the rest, while it's still possible in the other counties and it's great people are talking, the fall season in Los Angeles County is especially doubtful. 2) Unless they get going in the next 2 weeks or so, it's impossible for the large scale tournaments to take place in August and in any case they will be radically reduced in size.

Thanks! I had seen some vague information as well that it may not be as high a risk as they thought. It's so strange because asthma is a respiratory disease and covid is a respiratory virus!
 
Well Ussf published this today, too bad were still in phase ZERO

According to this July & August tournaments outside time guidelines unless we start now
 
Why? Plenty of data in America. Children basically have zero chance of dying. The common flu has a much higher death rate for children. That’s a fact.
The flu does have a high death rate for children. Please remember, kids have not been in school, kids have not been in sports, kids have not been hanging out as they do during the flu season. Brazil had released pictures of a baby they had saved that had been on a ventilator for over 30 days, baby was six months old and healthy before the covid, wonderful pic of mom and dad taking their daughter home. Then they continued to say that they were unable to save another twenty-five babies under twelve months who had covid. Terrible. They probably weren't able to physical distance like we have in our country. Just a lot to think about as we go back to our normal life. Stay safe wash your hands, I think most of us have always done that but must make sure our children do it often and correctly.

Yeah, with this timetable, if CalSouth says its mandatory, unless things miraculously start in the next 2 weeks, there's no way for there to be large tournaments in August. The fall season also got more dubious in LA County if its lockdown continued to July 1, let alone for another corona spike from the protests.

I told my dd I have to monitor her now and make sure she washes her hands besides all the other things a dad needs to monitor. Copa, your going to get what your on here for in LA and Socal. Unless we have protest and some riots from soccer parents and their kids, no soccer in LA and probably socal until next year folks. San Diego maight pull it off. We all need to stay home and shelter in place, wash your hands and wear a mask. We can sit at home and watch others on tv go out every day for 10 days straight. I'm really done with soccer. I'm on to the next adventure, surfing!!!
 
Not if you take out the Nursing home #’s.
It’s time to face the reality that the world needs to move forward.
Kicker, you guys need help in LA. It's not looking good and I'm super pissed off. We need LA and the South Bay and East LA and San Gabriel Valley. We both want the most important things too so I'm praying for you guys. Sorry for being a dick sometimes. It was me being competitive, that's all it was. Peace!!!

The problem is it is hard to use any decline in hospitalizations or deaths as a basis things are better because generally speaking hospitalizations and deaths represent what was going on about a month ago which is when we were in lock down. The life cycle of the disease is such that what we are doing now will be reflected in hospitalizations and deaths about a month from now. We opened up and had protests so the effects of that (if any) will start to show in about a month.
