Is Surf Cup happening?

May be that we need to draw the line at middle school age.
Why?

CDC shows nationwide that a total of 160 people under the age of 24 have died.

Other countries see the same type of stats.

During that same time period the CDC has tracked 151 deaths under 24 that have died due to the flu.
 
Is that a good thing? I think I remember you posting and telling us all you are both 27 ;)
I'm trying to get more honest. She told me she got carded at Trader Joes yesterday, no lie. It was her Mask she said. My wife has worked very hard to be healthy. Her example helped me lose weight and get me ready for this virus. Between you and I, she told me about this along time ago and I laughed her off.

Because their kid conveniently falls within that “line of acceptable”.....
 
Didn't the county send some safer back to play thing to the governor for July?

Not sounding promising but never know when's big $$ are involved.
Agreed, surf cup weekend brings in a lot of money for San Diego county. It is very clear that decisions are being made based on money so I would be very surprised if surf cup doesn’t happen. Parents will probably have to jump through some hoops but that’s fine, we are adults, we can handle it as long as the kids can have some fun.

It is about transmission, not immediate danger to the kid.

Based on European and Israeli schools data, 15 year olds are old enough to transmit the disease to each other, but 9 year olds are not. (age numbers came from the WSJ article on Israeli school re-closures.

I don’t agree with the theory that it is safe to allow the disease to spread and rely on a firewall around the vulnerable. The firewall inevitably leaks. We’re better off controlling the spread.

To answer kicker’s question, I have kids in both age ranges. The older two are having to make do with bike rides and minecraft, just like the rest of the kids in their classes. They’d love their quarantine to be over, too. The numbers just don’t support it.
 
did anyone catch the pride parade in chicago? its not california but the media wasn't bitching about covid with that mass gathering. If they would stop F ing with people this might have been gone by now.
 
Clemson football players have 14 that came down with it. I think they plan on getting it early so when it comes time for National Championship run they will be healthy. ;)

It "Team" herd immunity a thing? If so, they are getting close.

IDK, bar money is probably greener than youth sports money, and bars are now closed. Did Surf and Albion get prior County approval to hold the tournaments or are they just betting on the come? I can't see a mass soccer gathering getting approved unless the kids, coaches and parents are carrying PC protest signs.

They aren't effing with us. They just aren't willing to say that a pride or BLM event could be a bad thing.

It is, if course. Any gathering that size is a bad idea. But they cant say it.

But that isnt a reason to lose the mask and hold a kegger.
 
Arizona’s governor ordered bars, nightclubs and water parks to close again for at least a month starting Monday night. I would expect California to quickly follow this act including dining in at restaurants.

Actually there is little to no evidence that 15 yr olds transmit at a higher level vs younger kids.

Here is the recommendation from one of the leading child hospitals in the world regarding elementary through high school.

- the recommend opening
- recommend NO masks, etc.

Look them up. Here are their recommendations. They talk about what the numbers show world wide with respect to children.

I read the whole thing, and could not find a single sentence about transmission risk by age. It is mostly about how to reopen schools in Canada, and how to explain the decisions to parents. As far as I can tell, not a single word addressed whether 5 year olds are epidemiologically different from 17 year olds.

What page and which paragraphs are you talking about?

"evidence is mounting that children may be less susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and may be less likely to transmit the virus to others.9,10"
