Like the “rule” #1 that says a country “China” should report novel virus transmissions to WHO.

First question, are all the soccer kids being texted on a regular basis? Since most kids who get it are asymptomatic how would anyone know if the kids have it or have had it? It is just a big unknown. No conclusion can be made accurately without actual data and testing.
That’s a good point. I would bet that some
kids definitely have it and most are asymptomatic. But the chances of them getting it at practice are slim. You need to have that 15 minute close contact. Most kids that get it are getting from other asymptomatic kids at home. When they have play dates and sleep overs. They then infect their parents. People get covid at home, rarely in public.
Well Europe doesn’t look too good right now in terms of Covid.
Pretty much everyone answered the question...shit leadership in CA. People get fired in real life for poor performance like this...these people get re-elected. Make sure you vote, and again in 2022 or we just get more of the same in this state. Is this what people really want? Very sad situation for this great state.

Schools aren't the primary drivers in Europe. There's been stories of cases here and there but they are sporadic, particularly when it comes to the elementary schoolers. If we are going to be science and data driven, there's just no disputing that fact at this point.

Right. The stock market tanked yesterday, one of the reasons was fears of further lockdowns in Europe due to higher virus cases. Maybe read the headlines before you post stuff.
What is the question that pretty much everyone has answered?
(Just trying to keep up with the discussion)
Sure, I’ll bite...I know we are in different camps regarding this....I’ve got the answers our family needs to make decisions for our group.
I feel our State Leadership has been irresponsible and has nothing to do with Soccer. Yes, the Rona will kill at-risk people, same with many other diseases, etc...we do not stop the world for those. Every day there are reports of issues with data, poor reporting, etc, etc...yet we are told to follow bad data and trust the science (aka our State Government). OK...you really trust what is marketed/messages by the media? You trust California’s updates, and you believe Newsome is doing a good job? Seriously?
It’s time to get our State back open, Economy on track, kids in real school, and people back to work (if you want to stay home, shelter, and quarantine...fine...do it..your decision). People are getting fed-up and are starting to accept the risk and live their lives. Things are starting to get more loose, people are tired of the politicalization of the issue and people have had it...here is some data for you...94+% of the deaths from the Rona are 55 and older...People under 55 have a higher chance of dying from an accident - Car, Home, etc. than from the Rona...Did you know that? Stop driving people, don’t clean your gutters, or perform household projects...it’s dangerous out there.
It’s literally more deadly and dangerous to drive a car than to die of the Corona Virus for the 55 and younger group.
Edited...forgot to add those driving with masks and gloves are taking the extra super special safety precautions. Thumbs up!

wait just last week they were the model and how great they handled it and the US had the worst response.....times a changing i guess. kids are still in school and kids playing sports
Wishful thinking.
no...not at all.
All one has sometimes is a wish. Make your wish come true
Got any stock market tips Mr. Expert?
The only real way to know exactly how many bones you’ll break jumping off a four story building is to do it. And since the science can’t figure out the exact number with 100% certainty in advance, you should just assume you’ll be fine. So irresponsible of the media to suggest that it’s almost certainly gonna hurt. What do they know?
Of course, even if you don’t survive, @MSK357 will just claim you would have lived but for your heartburn or other “comorbidity” and encourage others to keep jumping.
Big difference between jumping off a building and driving. Data suggests more likely to die from an accident than Corona under 55...
The media on both sides can be very irresponsible at times and tilt the story to their networks position. Listen, research other sources and make your own conclusions. I trust the media on objective events such as natural disasters....I don’t trust the media on subjective narratives.
Your analogy for bone breaking is the same for this Virus...we all know there is a degree of risk jumping off a building or getting inside six feet of somebody and not wearing a mask. I’d argue that the risk of injury or death is higher with the building jump, than letting you kid play soccer, watching a game, or going outside without a mask or getting inside 6 ft of someone. You risk is extremely low if you don’t jump or hide under a rock.
Not hearing a lot about infection clusters due to kids sports...what does the science say about that. At some point you need to use some common sense and trust what you see and observe, not just what somebody on TV, wearing make-up, a tie, and reading off a teleprompter tells you...and I’m not talking about our country’s Democratic Presidential Candidate.
Btw...nothing is 100% or absolute except that at some point we will all die from something. If you are waiting for an “all clear” you’ll be under that rock forever.

My kids hate online school. I'm sure most kids hate it. If your school opens up with whatever precautions, what is the next step when there are confirmed Covid cases in your kids school or in their class?
3 kids, 3 schools for me.
ES/MS is stable cohort. A cohort is sent home for 2 weeks for each positive test. Other cohorts are not sent home.
HS is planning on normal schedule, 4 days in person, 6 days remote. No clear policy on who stays home when someone tests positive.
JC is totally remote, plus cross fingers and hope for in person classes next term.
The next step is to deny they got it at school. And deny they gave it to their parents, friends, grandparents, family with comorbidities, their soccer coach, their teachers, their classmates who then gave it to all of their parents, grandparents, friends and family with comorbidities, their soccer coach, their teachers, etc.
You see, everything is fine as long as you deny why this keeps spreading, the legitimacy of the scientists who are explaining it and the media that reports what the scientists are saying, your role in causing it to spread, even the fact that people are dying from it in the first place. Damn heartburn, the silent killer.
