Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

Most of the parents know deep down inside. The problem is most are terrified of the consequences of pulling out, not paying, etc... The clubs know this and take full advantage of the power they have over the customers.

Unless your kid is on the only ECNL or MLS Youth team in the area, I would say this is the year where parents hold the power. If your kid can ball, there will be a team for him/her to return to when the league eventually resumes.

My club and coach don't sell us any BS. My coach knows we read stuff on this website :).

Can we all be intellectually honest and stipulate that the # of deaths caused by Covid is not 10,000 or 184,000, but somewhere in between?

It goes kind of like this:
1. Corona only when died=10,000
2. Nursing home deaths= 92,000 ((I dont think any of the elderly in nursing home only died with Corona. My adopted mom died of respiratory failure at 90 in a nursing home))
3. Serious health issue?
4. Mild Unhealthiness like my neighbor? (( Dude is super stressed and super overweight. Looks really unhappy and is on the neighborhood watch list))
5. Unhealthy ((drinks, smokes and eats like sh*t. Looks good on the outside but inside not good))
6. Unlucky Stroke Victims
7. Unlucky heart attack victims
8. Motor Cycle accident?
9. Gun shots?
10. Car Accident?
11. Cancer?

Let's get these numbers straight up to this point. I would say 10,000 super unlucky people, whose body didnt like the virus, just died. Plus, another 92,000 in the nursing homes. These folks were in the worse shape and they were not protected early on. Respiratory failure is painful to watch. I watch my mom die of it at 90 and it was tough. Serious health issues & mild & unhealthy is probably around 42,000. All the rest like cancer and car accident deaths, stroke, heart attack and heart burn make up the other deaths with corona, about 30,000. This is SH guess only and based on some rumor info from my friend who happens to be a Dr.

MSK, we get it, that's what it says, so what? See, we know what your next argument is and that argument is utterly ridiculous. Well only 9,000 people really died of covid, so this is a big overreaction, and we should reopen. What part of co-morbidities have you not understood so far? Aren't all your buddies saying that those with the highest risk should stay inside while the rest go out? You see, the highest risk people are those with co-morbidities who are most likely to die if they get covid. They have lung/heart issues or diabetes, they get covid, and because of they're weakened immune systems they die sooner than they would have had they not gotten covid. Pretty simple.

How are you going to argue with me about something you think i will say next? lol.

I think its pretty obvious older people with preexisting conditions are the highest risk. Its been that way this whole time. The numbers show it. healthy kids can go to school. Healthy teachers can go to school. Unhealthy teachers can distance teach while unhealthy or cautious kids can distance learn. common sense isnt so common with our incompetent governor. He along with cuomo did put covid patients in nursing homes after all.

Why...I don’t resort to name calling when in an honest debate. How do I have nothing? 7% payroll tax break went into effect today as a stimulus to keep money in the hands of the consumer (to encourage spending). Did that not come thru in the previous post?

It is not a tax cut and most companies that I know of are not going to have their employees get stuck with a bill for unpaid payroll taxes after the first of the year. By the way people that have jobs don't need a payroll tax cut. Especially one that will defund social security and medicare and screw over our parents and grandparents.

The most difficult part is how to explain to your kid who sees all the Instagram posts from their friends around the country who started their season last weekend, why they aren’t playing.

Is youth soccer really that important? My kid is a pro soccer player and her internship with the Daschle group is more important to her than her soccer career and that is a fact.
 
I have dear friend on the forum who has informed me to keep him and his wifey in my thoughts and prayers. The wife has had the Corona now for a few days. News is coming in quickly and I dont want to scare any of you. This flu virus is real, that's for sure. I do know this guy's wife to be in excellent shape, so I'm curious to hear how she did. Hubby, looks good to me but I dont know what he actually stuffs his face with all day and I have no glue if he drinks himself to sleep with pills every night. I have encouraged him to give us real play by play. I told him to start a new thread. "Life with Corona in the household in socal."

Shhhhh! Let them think they’re getting a tax break until they get hit with the bill in 2021.

I‘m sure it has not gone unnoticed that the same people who whined about the non-existent death panels are now clambering to kill grandma with C19, but if that doesn’t work at least take away their medicare and social security.

When your kid is 15 it is to them. Remember when you were in HS Playing ball. All the scout talking you up and you lived and breathed the game? Now imagine if it was all taken away...you could do some strength, speed and agility training on your own, but now contact practice, no team drills etc. yet all your friends you met at this camp or that camp were playing, training and celebrating their games.

After 6 months, it gets into the psyche.

Your DD is a whole different situation and you can’t compare and adults ability to manage these things (especially when she has something else like an internship) to a 15Yr old Sophmore in Hs.

Yes, I know. Please keep it within the context of the reason it was presented. I’m doing everything I can to keep my employees from getting hit by this payback in this cut.

The “cut” is meant as a stimulus I’ll advised or not.

Excellent question. I wonder what the great Maps would have done as a Jr or Sr stud in HS? I would be so depressed, mad, sad, angry and I would have just quit school. No books for this guy. I dont read books, ever!!! Boring for me.

Thats easy for you to say since your kid didnt have to go through a situation like this. shes already gone through youth soccer and reached the pinnacle of her soccer career. You might have sung a different tune if this hit during her formative years as a soccer player.
 
The vaccine is already in Russia. The issue now is when it will arrive at our shores from Russia.

100% agree with this. 100%. Make that 1000%. We are training and while it hurts to not play games in anger, the kids are making do. Kids are resilient as all hell, the past six months have shown that to me plain as day.

Can I x this by a million? My DD has a solid group of friends and we get together at parks-they do drills, speed & agility, have sessions with a trainer, etc. The whole socially distanced practices suck-but, they stick them out and do other things.
 
Yup. I agree with above and actually can see marked improvement in my kid’s ball skills thanks to five month’s focus on training rather than open practice scrimmages. Of course she’s itching to play but is making the best of this otherwise lousy situation.

How exactly are you doing everything you can to keep your employees “from getting hit by this payback in this cut”? Prayer?

How is lying that it is a tax break “in the context of the reason it was presented”?
