Sorry to hear that.....
I responded to your attack on me. Do you know what inhuman piece of slime is?
It’s someone who spent 10 months contributing to 300,000 deaths so far and what is likely to be more than half a million by the time this is finally under control, and then only due to a vaccine. Discouraging people from wearing masks as ineffective. Encouraging people to travel from state to state. Encouraging active defiance of and refusal to comply with social distancing requests, and then requirements when you couldn’t even do the bare minimum. Outright derision, name calling and ridiculously asinine demands to recall the governor despite his acting in good faith - even if you disagree with his decisions - and although his leadership has resulted in easily the lowest death rate of any state with any significant population density. I have no sympathy for you, because
you are the reason we are here regardless of your complete lack of self awareness.
This kind of behavior has directly contributed to deaths, and a lot of them. There are 300,000 people dead and another 3,000 a day. There are people committing suicide because they’ve been stuck in a nightmare for almost a year because people like you have fought efforts to limit transmission and would have been effective if people like you gave a s**t about anyone but yourself and your stupid kiddie soccer.
You are an absolute inhuman piece of trash.
Um, trash implies it had some useful purpose before it became trash. Just saying.
I feel the same about you, as do all those who’ve lost loved ones because of people like you.
And the torment of my kids and the near suicide of my niece is on people like you, monster.
Just put the insensitive fool on ignore like the rest of us do.
No, it is on people like you. We would not be where we are today, or last month, or the month before that, if it weren’t for people like you. You are the monster. If you and your friends hadn’t fought every single effort to contain spread, if you and your friends hadn’t encouraged everyone else to do so too, if you and your friends hadn’t mocked efforts to save lives, we would all have our soccer and our in person school, kids wouldn’t be trying to commit suicide and there wouldn’t be 300,000 people dead and probably half a million by March.
You have been bitten an the ass by your behavior over the last 10 months and I don’t frel the least bit sorry for you. And the hardship is just going to keep coming for you until a vaccine saves us because, even now, the best you can muster to save lives is “maybe it isn’t the best idea to travel to AZ for a soccer tournament right now.” Stay home. Wear a mask when you need to go out. Encourage others to do the same you POS.
I don't know why I'm even engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed person, but... "People like you", you mean people that make educated decisions based on the available evidence and science. The same people that haven't spread the disease like Grace and myself. The same people that aren't blinded by Covid glasses and can see the bigger picture, I will proudly wear the "people like you" badge.
The far left, emotional, always a victim mentality is not going to get you very far, particularly without evidence. You love to dictate to others while you happily visit casinos. Weird how that works for you and for our politicians, or at least those near the Bay Area, that love to dictate, but not follow their own rules.
Tell you what Espola, you live in north SD I believe. We have a facility in San Marcos and Rancho Bernardo. I will give you a tour of one of those, your pick, next time I'm there to show you how seriously I take Covid. Then you can tell me to my face how I'm responsible for killing people.
Let's review:
1. EOTL= Evil on two legs.
2. "Don't frel [sic] the least bit sorry for you."= psychopath who has no compassion for the suffering of children
3. "We would not be where we are today"= delusional blue piller who still thinks even with the best of controls we wouldn't have a disaster.
4. Weird adult who has some knowledge of soccer, has no known kid playing, yet is hanging out here to talk mostly politics and yet deeply resentful of the soccer community...I dunno maybe because of his own aspirations in the field, either as a player or someone professional involved.
5. Suspected of being a doppelganger for another person= lonely loser with some deep seated psychological issues.
6. Expressed professional frustrations particularly when shown up= professional loser with a deep inferiority complex
7. Claiming we should all be locking down yet making excuses for BLM protests= hopeless partisan who is just trolling and doesn't really believe half the shit he says.
.
All in all EOTL you are morally bankrupt, deeply disturbed, and in deep need of help.
Later! you are on ignore....given my free speech bent the only other person I've ever done that too is Sheriff Joe, to which in my mind you are equivalent.
In a sec. Armistice yeah or nay?
I thought we were already on one. I can’t guarantee I won’t give you grief if you encourage people to hold parties or skip masks. But I don’t expect no teasing if I claim that the lack of masks is the only reason covid ever existed.
How are your son and your neice?
Perhaps you haven’t spread it (yet), but you and your kind have actively encouraged people who have done exactly that.
I have no victim mentality. It’s those whining about the rules put in place to save lives who have that problem. I am perfectly happy with the efforts CA has made, which is now 40th in mortality rate despite having the highest population densities in the state, and despite the best efforts of a handful of people who are upset that a youth soccer forum isn’t a one-sided Parler-esque Qanon pity party.
How’s the recall petition going BTW?
Niece had to be hospitalized. Docs recommended they remove the restrictions from her, which they did, but she's doing better but still not well.
Son is fine now. Utah revived him and soccer practices keep him going.

COVID danger in sports: team meals, car rides, shared hotel rooms and whiteboard sessions
As we work through the current COVID-19 surge, with hopes for a vaccine in the near future, it’s instructive to dig deeper into how individuals become infected with the coronavirus and how to decrease risk. In the world of sports we’ve seen multiple NFL players infected, and even in Formula 1...

Most of our practices ended over Christmas break.
Contemplating getting some masked 3v3 basketball at one of the courts still open. That or soccer tennis.
Masks outside sound silly to some. SJ is approaching one new case per thousand people per day. That’s high enough for me to stop trying to find the minimum sufficient precaution, and look instead for the maximum endurable precaution. Besides, it reduces the odds that someone calls the cops to yell at us for 6 feet.

TaxProf Blog: 21.7% Fewer High School Graduates Enrolled In College This Fall Due To COVID-19

More bad news on the vaccine front. The sanofi vaccine (an adjuvanted recombinant protein based vaccine) is delayed because they aren't getting the needed response in elderly due to an insufficient concentration of antigen. Best case is that vaccine is available Q4. Our choices are narrowing, particularly for children's vaccines.
One of the things this taught me is how different people really are. I've mentioned my son's classmate last year....other than the backyard he has not been outside the house for 9 months or seen another human soul besides his parents. No doctor's visits, parks, beaches, dentist appointments, haircuts (his mom cuts it) sports practice, school, socially distanced picnics or playdates. The only interaction he has is zoom school or chess club, karate or Kumon on line. His parents don't allow him a phone so he's not in contact with any of the classmates in his current or former school. But from what they say he's still doing fine....an introvert whose just happy as a clam, doesn't want to go back to in person school, and enjoys rolling out of bed in front the camera. My niece, who had the minimum has her own phone and can socialize that way and was free to go to the park by herself or with her sis, still cracked, and during the summer when she wasn't on zoom school.
I don't believe in recalls for policy decisions, only illegal activity or gross malfeasance. Incredible arrogance and intentional denial of science don't quite get me to gross malfeasance, close though.
My invitation is open to you if you're ever in the neighborhood to visit one of your sites, only condition is you're buying the beer.
