I don’t know how to distinguish the resource shortage effect from the early diagnosis effect. Both are important, and they have been so tightly correlated it’s hard to find a place with one effect but not the other.
(put another way, if you are running out of hospital beds, you probably aren’t doing South Korea style contact tracing either.)
I've been hearing rumors for a while. Where are you hearing the rumors from? I heard a rumor that there have been some meetings taking place with the higher ups. I will check with my sources. Leaking is going on that's for sure. Anyone with some good intel on these big rumors? Age change too? A round and a round we go......weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, so fun with all these changes!!!
Only two DA clubs - Surf and OC Surf (West Coast) were ECNL before. Blues are already in ECNL.
Good opportunity indeed. The boys DA program has utterly failed to meet the objectives it stated at its founding, such as to enhance USA player development within 10 years, and along the way has made enemies of all the pre-existing centers of development (local clubs, ODP, high school, college). The women's side has done just fine without any DA-style interference.

Have not heard this. Where is it coming from? What is a “strong” rumor?

Look chicken little, you're trying to hijack another post. the fact is you said 7 million people would die. New "expert" predictions say its going to be 60,000 now. lets see how far that continues to fall. So far 12,000 is much closer to 60,000 than 7 million or even 1.5 million. And we were on Stay at Home orders when you made that 7 million prediction. Lets not forgot that for some reason we are counting coronavirus deaths for people that died from a different primary reason. Even people that died that haven't been tested but show signs of coronavirus are counted as a coronavirus death. Very misleading.
My oversight. You are correct.
Please continue, weasel.

If (and it’s a very big if) the GDA comes to an end, which of the So Cal clubs do you think the ECNL picks up?
101 ECNL clubs nationwide (counting the announced GDA defections for next year) and 46 GDA clubs. What would the ECNL take, 20 GDA clubs?

If GDA does away, does ECNL need to add anything?
ECNL was on the attack trying to bring clubs over because they felt their league was better than DA. If the competition no longer exists, what incentive does ECNL have to bring on more clubs? Do they go back to 2016 and only let in their "favorites"?

I think the incentive is to shore up some regions where the travel isn’t great (mid west & Texas) and then add the top of the food chain clubs. If there are too many power clubs left out of ECNL there is a risk of those clubs forming some type of league to compete with ECNL. If you bring the Surf, FC Dallas & Top Hat’s of the world into the ECNL fold the league is strengthened and the risk of a competing league is minimized.

shouldn't you be dead by now?
Where I last heard was via a few GDA coaches and some other adults with very close connection to the situation. The reasoning I was told, new president doesn't want to spend 9 million(I guess that's how much it costs to run the program) on DA with millions tied up in lawsuits and now without making as much money with COVID-19 situation. Again, it's a rumor and nothing certain but I've heard it from enough places today where I'm starting to think it could have some truth to it. I guess we'll find out next week either way.
If this happens, I'd assume it would be hard for ECNL to say no to the TOP TOP clubs. There may not be room for just a good club thought. It would cause lots of have especially towards the end of the soccer year.

DA is done and the announce should come in the next week or so. I’m just curious which clubs from so cal will be joining the ECNL.
