Let Them Play CA

Maybe our traditional flu has morphed to now COVID. It's interesting that flu numbers are non existant and also that COVID numbers sky rocketted around the same months as the typical flu peaks. I know this is not a scientific view but if you look at the numbers it kind of makes sense.

If you think of covid as a super flu, you’re not far off.

The biology is completely different. Covid can’t mutate into the flu any more than you can give birth to a hippo.

But, in terms of how it affects us, it’s a good model.

The flu is still around. It just can’t spread much in a world of zoom and masks. So it hides out, gets people sick in ones and twos, and waits for us to get back to normal.

Whenever we finally rid of masks and distance, then we will have a proper flu season again.

I fear we will have a particularly bad flu season when things open up. It may be a game of Russian roulette guessing which flu strain will be prevalent at that time and gearing the appropriate flu vaccine with current case counts for flu as low as they currently are.
 
Hopefully CDPH comes out with updated youth sports guidance some this month.

The football lobbying could work to the other sports benefits and/or cause a field log jam in the spring as High schools scramble to cram in all the sports within short time frames.

The original YS guidance from Aug 3rd had sports classified as low, moderate, and high contact with a distinction between outdoors and indoors. Soccer was in the moderate class. Sports training and conditioning was back on if the physical distancing and other guidance was followed.

The Dec 14th update put sports in the tier jurisdiction with soccer being moved to high contact and needing the moderate or orange tier for competition to resume. Cohort restrictions where introduced to refrain from participating with more than one team over the same season or time frame.

The regional state at home orders in Dec prohibited competitions and scrimmages and out of state tournaments.

The Jan 26th update allowed competition between two team that meet the tier requirements for some sports and Inter-team scrimmages but out of state tournaments not permitted and the wearing of face covering during conditioning, practice, or competition should be implemented.

For the Feb update hoping soccer gets moved back down to moderate and somehow the comprise is reached where the tiers go away to some extent. Not sure they will completely go away but perhaps just a two layer approach: outdoor low to moderate risk at the discretion of local health and indoor or high risks another set of parameters without having the whole state or a county lumped together.

Your search for the single cause continues. You won’t find it.

That is because it is a complicated system. There are at least six major variables: age, variant, weather, masks, distance, indoor/outdoors. You don’t get to pick one and ignore the others.

The next step is not to latch onto of those and ask “is this the primary driver?”

The next step is to get with the program.

Mask, distance, outdoors.

I agree but when your "mitigation effort" has a 100% chance of financial ruin and mental health issues for a large segment of the society and does not seem to provide a substantial decrease in your infection/death rate you may want to change your policy. I don't doubt that masks and social distancing help but it seems like the weather has a much larger impact in when surges occur.
 
Ditto this. Zero+Zero=0

California high school football player goes viral after calling out Newsom for 'wasted final year'

"Zero offers, zero looks, zero commitments, zero time on campus, zero homecoming, zero prom, zero traditional graduation. What a wasted final year of school," tweeted Isaiah Navarro, who attends Paraclete High School in Lancaster, Calif., according to his bio.

"Worked hard and dedicated for absolutely ZERO. Big shout out to @GavinNewsom! You got what you wanted," he continued.

"I know there are thousands in my shoes across this State. I do not want anything given to me, just a chance to show my value and be an asset. Gray shirt, red shirt, grass, turf or dirt. I will play anywhere, God willing," Navarro said in a subsequent tweet.

Funny. My grandparents lived and farmed tobacco in Danville, VA the last capital of the confederacy before it fell. I doubt there is a more conservative place in the US. Gun safety is a mandatory class in sixth grade. All of my teachers white or black were conservative Christian’s and farmed “bacca” as they call it in the south. Many kids didn’t start school until after October because they had to pull bacca. These folks were lied to and fooled. They didn’t have a clue about the adverse health consequences of bacca.

Fine... 50-years ago. You haven’t even been able to run a cigarette ad in how many decades? What is the level of stupidity we’re suggesting here? At what point do we acknowledge any 10-year old knows smoking is deadly?

This is crazy. The weather does not spread Covid-19, people do. The weather only makes it far more spreadable. It is all the more important to socially distance when the weather makes Covid-19 more dangerous. All of you act like this is some “it is what it is” problem.

As for last summer, it is ludicrous to claim that Governor Newsom should have known it was not a big deal for many reasons. First, it was still a big deal. Second, so little was known, and is still unknown, about the virus, so blaming any leader for being cautious even before it came clear how spreadable it is stupid. Third, even if he had been certain that things would get bad as the weather got worse, the weather gets pretty bad as fall semester wears on. Sending everyone back in person with no idea how bad the weather might make it, how virulent it would get, how mutations would make it even more spreadable, is stupid compared to trying to create an online plan with the entire summer to prepare, instead of just having to do it in November.

“So little was known, and is still unknown, about the virus...” but Gavin good and Trump bad.

I disagree. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t force it to drink. People in this community take advice from their religious leaders not from corrupt nerds that write biased reports for companies that hate small businesses. You see those reports were put out by liberals because they want you to come work in their factories etc. etc. Many of these folks prefer to pray and “leave it in god’s hand” rather than seek medical treatment. So the fact that there were reports of adverse health effects way back is meaningless if you don’t analyze it in the proper context.

So we are or we aren’t blaming white government for dropping drugs into the ghettos? Who forced those horses?

Oh lord. It was appropriate to take a cautious approach because anyone with half a brain knew this was going to be bad. It was irresponsible to assume only 12 people had it and it would go away like a miracle, or that injecting bleach would help, or sunshine up your ass, or that masks and social distancing don’t help. Your complete willingness to be an idiot and say idiotic things that you know full well are stupid, well, that’s what magats do. I guess you’ll just have to bend the knee to Marge, your new Q master.

You also skipped the important part. It’s hard to figure out with you trumpanzees whether you’re really that stupid or intentionally making frivolously stupid false equivalencies because you know there are magats even dumber than you.

I see how much you care about all the kids. This guy is from Lancaster and was hoping to land a nice deal somewhere. The blue Chippers will always find a home early one. Lawsuit city is coming to a town near you. Assholes like you ruin it for everyone. You cause me to puke!!!

The important part? Oh, you mean where Trump had the crystal ball and Gavin didn’t. I get it. After all, it was an “early dinner” so you forgive him.

I just hope Gav doesn’t let his daughter play sports.

81 has a nice ring too it. Is this Club 81 that my pal was sharing about? He told me about this place that was a warehouse of sex. Basically, whatever your little heart desires can be found at the 81 French Warehouse? Whatever the imagination, you can have your dreams come true.

You sure have a lot of "pals"
