OC practice paused

[Copa9]

Nobody is being tested unless there is a suspicion of sickness. But everyone is supposed to do a symptom and temperature check prior to leaving the house for any session and if suspected of any exposure in their life must quarantine.

There have been zero documented, suspected, or rumored player to player transmissions between the thousands of players at the thousands of practices that have happened these past few months in a community that isn't doing a great job of containing the virus.

One team I know of last week had a player who was possibly exposed at a day camp, so the whole team pulled out of a tournament as a precaution. So it isn't being transmitted in the community via contact on an outdoor soccer field.

It looks like schools are wisely going to be closed here with remote learning until at least October at the earliest. Good. That's smart. Indoor continuous contact is what is fueling the spread of Covid.

But as long as people and clubs are responsible and err on the side of caution like that team I just mentioned, and as long as outdoor intermittent contact via the game of soccer remains an extremely unlikely method of transmission, I see no reason why soccer won't continue to be played.

That's good that no one has had symptoms, just concerned with those who might have it with zero symptoms.

REBUILD CALIFORNIA

Unaffordable housing. Record homelessness. Rising crime. Failing schools. Locked down population while the prisons are emptied. Governor Newsom has failed!

Hate to break it to you, but the Titanic has already crashed and your blaming the 1st officer because you don’t like they way he’s handing out the life rafts.

What happened to the captain?

You and I know that it's all about viral exposure over an extended period of time in places (usually inside) with limited air exchange/ventilation. However, have you ever seen the the president's corona task force explain this to the American people? i.e. https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them

I don't thing the average American knows this. If they did, I think most Americans would voluntarily wear masks in the "danger" zones (i.e. gatherings indoors). I think this would have gone a long way in limiting the new outbreaks in Fl., Tx., & Az.

 

[EOTL]

insane, guy wearing a mask in a complete empty field. Just like the dude I saw the other day driving with a mask inside his car by himself with the windows up and ac on. ‍♂

A guy put on a mask when he approached an anti-vaxxer who completely disregards social distancing ordinances? What’s weird about that? And do you think maybe the guy wearing a mask in the car just forgot to take it off since they really aren’t an imposition and don’t cause people to die of CO2 poisoning?

What is wrong with all of you? You whine about your kids not being able go to school or practice soccer when you’re the problem.

 

[The Outlaw *BANNED*]

Saw an email that Slammers had over 600 kids at their " CAMP" in Newport last weekend. Training also going on today and this weekend, hope no ones dd gets the virus. Those parks in Newport are pretty small to social distance on. Must be a hell of a waiver the parents signed since Cal South and ECNL wont cover them

You couldn't social distance 600 kids on 2 football fields.

I was concerned about that, too. But apparently it is really, really hard to spread the virus on a soccer field doing normal soccer activities.

I assume that's because it doesn't satisfy many of the main criteria that are proven to be high risk for delivering a communicable load of the virus (close, continous contact of more than 15 minutes in a poorly ventilated space).

Those same reasons make me assume that while local training and games will continue here in Texas, overnight travel soccer isn't happening soon and nor should it. It's not that the soccer is any more risky at home or in the road, but it's the other things that accompany a normal soccer night in a team hotel.

Pretty much all of team travel outside of the games is about extended close indoor contact. That's a big risk for asymptomatic transmission.

ECNL and GA tentative schedules are now released for Texas, and for the near future it looks like all day trips or local games.

I should have said "mostly" day trips and local games that last sentence. "All" may not quite be true.

Could you share what the schedule looks like as far as dates?

@EOTL YES!!! This is exactly right!! I have friends and idiots in my own family who are not listening to the rules, co-mingling with various people every weekend yet are bitching about schools not opening, sports, etc. and I know some of these family members will be the first ones crying and grabbing their xanax and rosary if they infect their elderly family members whom they interact daily with... did I mention they're idiots???

Local tournaments and friendlies through August.

First weekend of ECNL and GA games is Sept 5th.

Games most every weekend until early December.

Pause for high school (if high school soccer happens normally this year, in Texas it normally runs from January through early April).

Club games pick back up in late April.

Lots of sensible restrictions on the games and procedures until the Covid situation changes. No handshakes, no passing around player cards, limits on number of masked family members allowed to attend, etc.

That sounds like a really reasonable solution. I wish we were doing the same thing here.

Funny to see all the left wing Demo rats come out and voice their concerns. You guys can quarantine til 2022. Let the healthy fit population go on with everyday life. That’s what should have been done from the get go. Strategic social distancing like Sweden’s Anyone that’s under that population at risk should stay home and wait for the vaccine. For the rest of us it’s just the flu. CA took the socialist approach/

Sweden is having a much worse result than neighboring countries who imposed stricter measures.

Let’s look at Sweden folks where there was never a Quarantine or lockdown and where the politics don’t exist to manipulate #COVID19 numbers for political reasons. They are approaching #herdimmunity numbers don’t lie. They have advocated for strategic social distancing from the get go. Covid should be over after November #myprection and I don’t have to be a fortune teller to tell you this Once again not saying this virus is not real but here in the USA there are too many things happening with the reporting of things.

Trouble is, if half of us quarantine and half of us party, the disease spreads, and we all end up like Florida. Disease is a team sport, and the Republicans and the Democrats are on the same team, whether we like it or not.

The key is strategical social distancing and quarantine like Sweden did. I would even add that we separate the population at risk from the rest of everyone else until we build herd immunity. The population at risk can wait for the vaccine. Or if they need to come out have them sign a Covid waiver and we’ll give them a special red colored n95 mask If they wish to take the risk. That way we all know to stay away from them. Look at Sweden. They did it right.

Now, now Luis, let's not be calling folks names. I did have a few dear friends here call me dam fool, idiot, a t supporter although I never vote, moocher, looking for handouts, club hopper, look in the mirror Jack, and now my favorite of all, a man crush with the Master Jedi wizard coach, the Great Tad I always liked you Luis. Welcome back. How's the camp looking for Monday?
