Guidance are not for everyone

“The report also indicates that Arizona had the highest positivity rate for children, at 17.8%. That is the percent of children who tested positive for COVID out of the total number of children tested.”

If this represents testing asymptomatic of children in Arizona, I would be very concerned about the risk of community spread of the disease among children in groups. Maybe other states are being impacted by the disease even worse, but the more limited testing programs in those states make it more difficult to know. Unfortunately, every state prioritizes public health equally.

What is misleading is to suggest that there is a 0.0% death rate, when more than 400 children in Arizona have died from COVID-19. Epidemiologists would express this rate differently to more accurately represent the rate of death that actually occurred.

Good luck to everyone overcoming the challenges presented by COVID-19.
Well he lives up to his name...


Im very excited scrimmage tomorrow.. and while parents are not allowed to stay and watch, It will be recorded. Kids are playing games!
 
They just wrapped up a college showcase event this past weekend. It's not their first tournament of the summer - I want to say it's their 5th major tournament. I've attended in the past when I lived in NJ, big event, one of the biggest on the east coast, fields are carved out of an enormous turf farm. From what I hear, it was scaled back to comply with NJ public health guidelines, but they pulled it off. 1 Parent games, etc. I don't anticipate this to be classified as a "super spreader" event.

I can't emphasize enough how big of an event this normally is. It makes Surf look like small potatoes in terms of fields at one location.

Anyone report getting sick? I bet nobody did. Makes calif look like a 3rd world dictatorship..

None that I know of, which doesn't mean anything of course. My sense is if there had been positives, it would have been hysterically reported on their local media outlets.
 
Parents will have to make a choice on whether they think the "risk" is worth it.
You are assuming they can look at data and understand risk.

In the US out of the 168K deaths there have been about 270 deaths nationwide in the age group 24 and under. Not much different from the flu.

Play ball !

2nd scrimmage for my DD team tonight. They just limit the amount of parents out there in theory. What actually happened is parents just spread out all around the field. Nobody was by anyone.

Same in Utah. We have to stay in cars or by the grass near the parking lot. Everyone spread out. No one near the bench and players or each other.

saw a high school fb game on way back. Same. Everyone really spread out. Bleachers really limited. Masks.

Good news. You guys are moving in the right direction in terms of infections - ahead of CA now in terms of risk and moving faster in the right direction. CA is getting there. It appears the infections in the central valley are starting to top out. If that's the case, CA infections will start moving very quickly downward. SoCal is moving in the right direction now. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a significant improvement in CA overall numbers in the next two weeks.

Heard from a buddy, in TX they require parents to be present (socially distanced) for u-littles. What if something happened to them during practice/game? Olders are on their own.

Hopefully SF and the Bay Area isn't next. I sill don't get why they didn't tier it like they did the schools. There's no reason why the far northern counties shouldn't be allowed to play (unless we really expect 0% transmission until contact sports are allowed).

For the cases, it's hard to tell with the day-to-day variability and the reporting glitches. Nothing indicates we have reached the peak in terms of cases. However, I believe cases are less reliable than hospitalizations. ICU patients look like they have peaked in SF and the peninsula and are heading down and are near peak on the east bay. It should be more clear next week.

I believe there is a significant and vocal population of folks who support this idea in NorCal.

interesting report from the Chief Medical guy w/ ECNL. Short version from report = early data seems to indicate that Covid transmission risk during soccer training, scrimmages and matches is low, but, with the caveat that this is early data only.

With play resuming in Utah, AZ(?), TX (?) NE and Atlanta. Will be relevant for SoCal to pay close attention to how that goes i.e. are soccer matches Covid spreader events or not?
