Is Surf Cup happening?

Back to surf cup.

It seems a big uphill for them to climb to have it actually happen this summer.

Trying to figure out how to make some money one way or the other while minimizing the bailouts.
 
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.

I saw it. https://blockclubchicago.org/2020/0...ands-show-up-for-black-and-transgender-lives/

And as the photos show, most people were masked so much like the protests in NYC have shown, you would not expect this to increase transmissions.

Hong Kong has the same population as LA and much greater density. They never locked down and have had about ten deaths. Why? Because they have 97% mask compliance. Testing, tracing and masks. If we could all agree to that and had some leadership this thing would be mostly behind us in two months. Instead we have people saying that it violates their rights or making up that it's unhealthy. And some want to say they can't breathe with one one, but somehow are healthy enough to deal with the virus if they get it.

All of this means that we are going to be talking about anything but actual soccer being played for a long while.

I second this. Everyone put on a mask so we can play in Surf Cup, Albion Cup, and whatever other tournaments are open along the coast. (Sorry Silverlakes - we live in CA not Arizona for a reason)

I don't care what your political affiliation is. Just put on a mask or face shield. We'd like to move on with our lives and watch our children get their butts kicked on the soccer pitch by all the unicorns out there.

Hong kong gets tracked so that's a no go here. I agree the scientists lied to us. They said dont use masks that they didn't work. Now they do work. People get mad and protest the government and get hammered by the media for not wearing masks. Then the protestors and looters are out there the next week without the masks and the media goes radio silence. Then the media is back out against people not wearing masks. Then they took pride day off. Now we are back to masks being the answer. So the back and forth leads people right down the path to calling bullshit on all of it.
 
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.
they can say it but they won't say it
 
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. ;)

There is some evidence you can get it more than once. Hope not. Maybe those who got it twice had false negative tests, twice and really never got over it.

Even if you can get it twice, when have they said if those patients even feel symptoms or can spread the virus? If this was true, they would have announced it loud and clear. Apparently, from news stories, “a lot of people” have tested positive twice, but not one have we heard has died, or caused a major spreader event.
 
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.
From an interview with Dr. Sean O’Leary, a pediatric infectious disease specialist officially representing the American Academy of Pediatrics, published in the New York Times:

”kids really do seem to be both less likely to catch the infection and less likely to spread the infection. It seems to be even more true for younger kids, under 10 or under 12. And older kids seem to play less of a role than adults.“
