OC practice paused

[Keepermom2]

Concerns arise as some receive positive COVID-19 results but never got tested

I have a friend who tested positive for covid. But only after making an appointment and never showing up for the test. 5 days later he gets an email saying he tested positive for covid. After hearing this stuff, I’m sitting here scratching my head not knowing what to make of this but realizing that we are truly living in the twilight zone.

Did your friend also blow up a gas station when using his cell phone while pumping gas?

"As Florida reported the largest single-day increase in positive coronavirus cases anywhere in the United States since the beginning of the pandemic, social media began buzzing with people who claim they left a coronavirus test site because of a long line, but they still received a positive test result."

While this scenario sounds scary, there is no proof to back it up."

‘That scenario is nonsense.’ No proof exists for rumors about positive COVID results with no actual tests

In the last two weeks, social media has been buzzing with people who claim they left a COVID-19 test site because of a long line, and then received a positive test result. While this scenario sound…

Getting back to the OP.... did I miss something?? Did the state put out guidelines for youth sports in the last day or so?? These "camps" (outside of SD) were specifically stated to not include youth team sports were they not?

**** No need to bash Newsom or give me any political BS on anything it's just a legitimate question ***
Thanks

I'm so confused. Some are playing soccer and some are following the rules. My family will follow the rules from the Federal Government, State, County and City.

Then leave, please, please, please if that is what you believe.

Your giving the same weak sauce comments on this thread too....good to know. You can still pick me up at the airport and take my bags when we get back.

 

[MacDre]

That's twice you've posted links to real music. You feeling ok?

My behavior has been erratic. I’m gonna get tested for COVID today.

You’re about 2 months late, we already covered all of this. I won. Just ask Outlaw, Sheriff Joe, MicPapa, Desert Hound, Watfly, Mars. Sorry I may have missed a few.

You keep telling yourself you won. You're like the guy that gets knocked out in a bar fight, wakes up after everyone else is gone and tells his co-workers he whipped some ass over the weekend. Fucking moron.

Not that I am aware of. I find it hard to believe that parents are willing to put their families health at risk for soccer. Maybe it’s the clubs or folks that profit from soccer that are promoting this foolishness.

My kids club has a financial incentive to keep my kid safe because they are focused on developing her to maximize her potential as opposed to collecting fees. I suspect my kid will be one of the first youth players that resume practice in a legitimate fashion and that has not happened yet. Nor do I expect it to happen anytime soon.

Families are at risk everyday. I've yet to see data that supports a virus that's anymore dangerous to kids than crossing the street in front of their schools. Do you? And whatever that risk may be, is it more or less destructive than the alternative? The virus isn't going away. How long do we shelter in place while the economy and education die a slow death?

@MacDre Agreed.... I don't get it...
@The Outlaw regarding your comment... I understand where you're coming from, I think what concerns me is that these clubs and families might screw it up for the rest of the clubs following the rules in the end. (regarding when we are officially "allowed" to return to practice)

It all depends. If T looses in Nov, we will be back in no time. If he wins, we will be sheltering in place for another 4 years

Well, you're kind of saying what I'm trying to say. No matter what we do, there will be people that screw it up. Whether it's on a beach... on a rioting run or on a soccer field. I don't think there's any point in trying to mass quarantine because all you'll do is delay the inevitable. More and more I'm starting to warm to the idea of Covid parties. Come what may. I think there's an argument to be had there.

I don’t think the whole thing is a fake. Our government can’t build a bridge in less than 8 years. And you think they managed to fake an international virus pandemic?

We may be hitting a downward trend in cases, though. AZ seems to have peaked. FL and GA may be peaking as well. Hope it is true more broadly.

My guess is that a 20% infection rate + masks + distancing is enough to make the numbers decline. The more consistent we are about masks and distance, the lower that percentage gets.

by no means I think it's fake. However I do believe, it's blown out of proportions a lot.

All good questions that I don’t have a good answer to. I think all of the options suck so it becomes a matter of choosing the lesser of the evils. The loss of life is permanent. A lost business can be rebuilt. I’d rather chance loosing businesses than lives because it’s the lesser of the two evils.

What did you win?

Gold medal in mental gymnastics. Actually I'd only give Justafan a bronze, because on occasion he doesn't seem to be afraid of an opinion that is different from his. He also seems capable of debate while avoiding name calling for the most part.

A business can be rebuilt, Dre, but that's a livelihood that isn't easily rebuilt. What do people do, in the interim? There's been 1 "stimulus" payment since this began. Yet again they're "thinking... pondering... considering... taking a look at..." And if they do come up with another $1,200, how long will that last? Unemployment checks are taking 3-4 months and some still have not been paid. What are those people supposed to do?

You’re asking the wrong question when you ask whether the virus is dangerous to kids. The question is the degree to which a kid gathering is dangerous to grown ups.

How long and severely we shelter is a valid question.

I can’t think of a single good argument for not wearing masks, though. The anti-mask folks are just making it worse for all of us.

I can't either... but everywhere I go, I see people not wearing them. That's never going to change. Even places that require them will not enforce that rule. I see people removing them in stores... at the gym... restaurants. So if you're going to have people refuse to comply, and you won't do anything to them for it, we're wasting our time playing this game. We deliberately keep our kids away from elderly people... and that's fairly easy, but unless there's some end game for a vaccine, I think it's time to consider opening up and parents carpe diem. Any one of us can die tomorrow. Why are we acting like there's some guarantee?

Make sure they also check to see if you have a heart.

Dre has a heart. It's the backbone that's suspect.
