Blues COVID email

[Willie]

Nice try at a bully tactic, but overall weak and played out. You still never told us what Marxism is.

I am tired if your spin and demand you answer the question of why you are implying that Black Lives Don’t Matter? Your silence is truly deafening.

So..... I was watching photos of my friends team in Idaho playing in a tournament. Then I watched some more photos of them traveling, eating at a restaurant together. Are they in a different country? Cause it sure looks like it to me, looking at those photos.
Then I watched 1st NFL game yesterday. Players playing, some coaches wearing masks and some don't. People on the stands (can you believe it?).
Then after the game, normal handshakes and hugs.
WTF is going on? Was this all in my dreams?

That was nice to watch that football game last night. What a quarterback that Mahomes is. Football players are socially distanced .... look at their helmets Shaking hands is dumb at this moment, they should cut it out. I like spacing bt fans at stadium, very logical. Eating in a crowded restaurant together - is it really worth it? Couldn't you just get togo and eat outside in the park with a little space between each other and talk, we're loud enough.

We shouldn't look at other people and make excuses as to why we shouldn't be doing what we need to do. Don't we always tell our kids this? Just because other people have decided to make the situation worse does not mean we need to add to the problem. The more people that decide to do the right thing, the better it is for our country. Let irresponsibility and uncaring be the exception to our culture.

I think youth soccer, done Texas style, with limited viewers and face masks - are the way to go. Don't go eat at restaurants in crowded places afterwards. Pick up food and go to a park. Picnics are the in thing unless there's a fire nearby.

EOTL is now Long Game and no more EOTL?

 

[MSK357]

Have you figured out yet that “thelonggame” is another one of the Marxist EOTL and espola’s accounts?

Yup, as soon as EOTL got banned for a week, "thelonggame" shows up. couldnt be more obvious. lol.

PS - so does Hepatitis, Influenza A and B amongst many other common viruses.
I believe you mean well in sharing, but the realities are not as scary when you look at the bigger picture (or the fact that we all walk around with many of these so Siri is and don’t even know it is more scary).

One of the big differences is that when you get Influenza A or B you know it! With covid you don't necessarily know you have it. Therefore you might not know you have inflammation of the heart even if you have symptoms of fatigue etc. and might jeopardize your health. Parents need to be very observant of their children and talk to their health care professional if they suspect something is off with their child.

More conspiracy BS. You guys watch too much of this stuff and believe it. Talk about a herd mentality. There is more than one person looking out for the greater good, there has to be to keep up.

EOTL/thelonggame is one pathetic loser.

OK, I contacted some Blues people I know. Here's what the email said. 2 coaches and 1 player tested positive. Based on their lack of exposure to each other and the timeframes of positive tests, they did not contract it from each other. The teams those people are associated with are on a 2 week brea

That's it. Unfortunately for all the Blues haters there is no outbreak within the club, just 3 isolated incidents. Hopefully now that the contents of the email are out there the rumor mill can stop.

Thanks for sharing and clarifying. Shouldn't they be quarantined not just on a break? That is what they are doing in the colleges. Plus every team that came in contact with the player should be notified so they can be proactive in watching for symptoms. This is going to happen and we all must be open about it to help prevent the spread. Names don't be mentioned but it is only moral and ethical to let everyone who had contact know. The two coaches most probably had contact with other coaches at their club as well as other coaches at "scrimmages or games". They need to be tested. Again, that is what is happening at colleges. Everyone needs to do the right thing, the sooner the better so life can get back to normal.

 

[Copa9]

Well done of the Blues. Good email and good handling of the situation.

So did they share it with everyone or just

Everyone is responsible for their own actions. With the exception of those that need caretakers. We have enough info to know that if you WASH your hands, SOCIAL DISTANCE, WEAR A MASK the chances are down to nil. Protect yourself at all times no matter what others do. Use universal precautions. If you send your Kids go to school then treat them as infected, if the go play soccer treat them as infected and do the big 3 actions. If you are worried then stay home and isolate and there will not be an issue for you or your family.

Chances are nil? Tell that to health care workers who do all you mentioned plus wear a lot of PPE.

Go back into your rat hole.

BTW you won't find me in a rat hole. You can find me at work, the beach, fishing, a restaurant, Home Depot, soccer practice or watching my son's pickup scrimmages.

 

[thelonggame]

Why look at the NY incident during a chaotic time when the virus infection rate was off the charts and not the global picture of almost a million people dying of this virus? Why pick and choose what fits your lifestyle and not what's really going on? Somehow NY is the problem when the world is going through this?

 

[El Clasico]

I have seen some really bottom feeder stuff on this forum. But you making light of a situation with a Coach who may be ill...this is the worst thing I have read.

Then you haven't read much...

How long is the asymptomatic contagious period for covid, and how many people, on average, do you meet over that period?

None of us are in rat holes. The question is whether you have a lot of contacts (part of the problem) or few contacts (part of the solution).

This is where I am. From what I see, the socialization before and after the game are considerably higher risks than the actual soccer game. We are shown by the students going back to college that when people who haven't been around each other start socializing in any normal manner, the virus will spread.

yes, i know they figured it out too.

 

[Jose has returned]

Good thing medical workers all wear PPE!

as they should all the ones I know do.

 

[Jose has returned]

Great, more live free or die BS. Again, works great until someone gets seriously ill or dies. Until then, everyone do what they want, get mad at government for trying protect us, get mad at the legal system we all have used and abused, blame someone else, but whatever you do, don't get in the middle of me and my kid going to play soccer whenever and where ever and with whoever we choose.

sounds like a good plan. Protect yourself it really works. My work place had an out break 30 got it 30 did not. one side let their guard down and others did not. I was one who let his guard down after being vigilant. I had a co worker in a closed cab truck wearing a mask while i was exposed and developed symptoms the next day. He never got sick. Clean your space, wash your hands, mask and SD when possible. Its not hard. If you area caretaker then protect hose that can't protect themselves. Hospital workers are not getting this like they did in the beginning they use their universal precaution protocol like they are supposed to. If you do that you will be fine. If you are still worried stay home and protect your family. But this isn't going anywhere for a while.

My kids might feel differently, but not hanging out with other parents before, during, and after the game? I love it!

Again mischaracterizes what I'm saying. NY and NJ are just an example of what happens when you scream shark and overreact to a situation which makes the situation far worse. Those states actions were in direct contradiction to what the guidance from the CDC was. Now I'll will grant you that because NY was hit first they were to some extent a victim of timing (I mentioned that in another thread) but there were also other factors like NY (particularly NYC) having the worst rated hospitals for quality and safety in the US due to State budget cuts.

Certainly emotion and anecdotal information plays a roll in shaping our opinions. Anecdotally for me, I directly know 2 people during this time period that have OD'd or committed suicide (one adult, one teenager), one teenager that attempted suicide, and one teenager at our high school that committed suicide. On the other hand, I only know 2 people directly that have had Covid (only with flu like symptoms) and a friend of a friend that was hospitalized with Covid. I also have an 88 year old mom with co-conditions who says being on lockdown and not seeing her grandchildren is not living...so she sees her grandchildren on a fairly regular basis. So that's my emotional perspective...now let's look at the facts.

Dr. Birx said from the beginning that we have to look at and fight the virus on a "granular", or county by county basis. So let's look at SD County where I live. Its done a tremendous job despite the fact that its a border town where many of the cases have originated. Overall only .097% of the population has been hospitalized being Covid positive, and only .022% have died as Covid positive. Those percentages decrease dramatically the younger you are. This is worst case scenario since it doesn't consider cause of death from comorbidities. Covid is serious, but its not the boogieman that some are making it out to be whether out of fear, or out of the power to control people's behavior.

I appreciate the facts. Here's the issue. This is a public health emergency. You're looking at local data, so that should make you us all feel better when we go to the market or a restaurant if we follow all the rules. But why apply this data to soccer? Unlike 30 years ago, the sport is not all local. We're always interacting with a lot of people in almost every situation in a competitive game, especially a tournament. And because it's soccer, it's every segment of the population, some who are more at risk and those at low risk. Public health takes into account everybody, so crossing city and state lines makes whatever is happening in your particular area meaningless and not only throws off the data it increases the risk so that the rules need to apply to everyone. Every American at the moment has a relative either at risk, depressed, financially strapped. No one is immune to this. No one should be looking at the world today as if it was a year ago, and people are and that's what's causing the stress.
