Anyone notice how none of the players died or had any major issue?
When the games get cancelled or postponed the press talks about that aspect. They don't even in passing wonder if the players will be OK since they know that group of individuals is about the lowest risk
By this point too we should be hearing of a lot of stories with long term health issues that stop players from playing in the future.
They are selected in advance for youth, fitness, and no serious pre-existing conditions.
It's a little early to know about "long-term" effects.
We can say the same thing about the vaccines...quite a sticky wickett this.....
But you are right....I should have said "intermediate effects"....but the concern with athletes had been if they play it might ruin their future careers. So far we haven't seen a whole lot of instances of athletes not able to return from COVID. Sincere question: anyone know of any actual cases of athletes who got COVID and had to hang it up?
Hey look! The people with the lowest risk of dying - elite athletes - aren’t dying. Therefore I should be able to kill whoever I want. It makes perfect sense.
Our family thus far has been fortunate. My 79 yr old Mother In Law tested positive, lost her sense of taste for a few days and has been lucky enough (for her age/profile) to come out the other side and go back to work doing what she loves.
I got curious and started digging around in the CDC website on mortality rates and saw something i am still looking for additional support to substantiate. You’re pretty good at finding holes, maybe tou can help:
Dig properly. And stop using the wrong data for comparison, like Huckasans did before her stupid wannabe “analysis” was similarly debunked. Per your CDC, keeping in mind that the number of excess deaths so far is above the upper bound of estimates based on prior years, so it’s probably higher than even the 275,059 so far. And it obviously doesn’t account for the massive number we will have in December.

What a Karen. Get off the damn plane if you can’t follow the airline’s rules. Period. It’s rude enough for Karen to bring her screaming 2 year old in normal times. But now making everyone around her run the risk of getting covid from her snotty little brat is inexcusable.
I don’t disagree, but question:
A) why you say it is my CDC, isn’t it our CDC?
B) what is the wrong data?
I’m just trying to understand the discrepancy between the numbers (2.8m in 2018 and 2.7m thru 12/7/20) which would include the 275k excessive deaths right? So am I right to assume the excess deaths are base on mortality estimate being lower for 2020 than 2018’s actual total?
Don’t try to flip this around into some justification for 11yr olds to play soccer. I’m asking a legitimate question for legitimate answers. (It’s open to others as well.)
Pfft, that's easy...400,000 fewer auto fatalities due to stay at home orders.
there are actually a few things at work in the numbers from what I’ve read:
-car deaths, accidents (more stay at home, less work travel leisure), flu (and entero adenovirus) down
-some covid has been misclassified (the percentage is hotly debated). I know at least one vc suicide death classified as covid
-there’s a delay in the reporting particularly the fall months. Hospitals are overwhelmed and the government reporting is lagging because of staffing problems. Overall (including because of the rise of heart attack, od and suicide deaths this year —again the numbers being hotly debated how much) some projections I’ve read are still predicting a rise over 2018 when all is said and done
South Korea looks like it's heading into lockdowns as its cases top 1000 for the first time.....

I guess it's a matter of perspective but I'm impressed with how many games they have had considering the congregate living conditions and the carefree attitude of many college students. You honestly think many students would give up a "hookup" for fear of Covid, some maybe, but all, doubtful. Its really a minor miracle the games that have been played.
Horrible, hopefully he recovers 100%. If his collapse is related to his prior Covid infection that really changes the equation.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says despite “good news” on a COVID-19 vaccine, “the next number of weeks are going to be hell, I fear, so we’re begging with people to please, please, please don’t let your guard down even when you’re in private settings.”

The HHS Secretary was on Face the Nation. Said all nursing home patients will be vaccinated by Christmas with the first dose. If true, it means if we go by deaths alone, by mid-January the emergency will be over (since nursing home patients are overall such a high number of the casualties, and the argument back to people that have argued "if you are scared so much just isolate" has always been "what about nursing home patients and health care workers that can't isolate"). If we are still on cases, this spills all the way through 2021. Truth probably somewhere in between.
