Karen won!
Snitch hotline: 411, whats your gossip

Karen: I'm walking with my mask on over at Great Park. I see kids playing and and and their not wearing a mask and I actually saw one of them 4 ft away and not doing 6 feet. I need help now!!!

Snitch hotline: Thank you so much. We will be there in 3 minutes. Thank you for calling

Karen: Oh good, we can;t have this virus spread to my parents.
 
Ideal times for a 3rd party to rise up.....to bad it will never happen.
t seems like a 3rd party to me. He was a Dem money wise and then he switched to the R side because he saw all the candidates and took a chance and kicked their asses. Joe will do whatever he is told to do. t does not do that and that is why I see him as a true 3rd party candidate. A true disrupter and chief and let me say this, he is hated by both Dems and Repubs. DC hates him too.....We all can see how the career politician does not like t at all.
 
Because a parent/coach from an opposing club called in to report that another club was practicing indoors and took a picture of players congregated outside the front entrance. That club in fact was not actually violating any rules and was operating within the guidance they’d received from the county, but the local news did a story that including running the picture and interviewing the person that called the media.
Yes, exactly this. This happened in my area and what they didn't show was that each girl was more than 6 ft apart and they had large, double doors rolled up. Plus they were not the only club doing it, it was 100% personal and political.
 
@Grace T and only for Grace T. I wrote this over in the off topic section in response to Messy thinking t is a spy for Russia. Disregard that part. Can you help me if it's true that as a parent in Cali for 2020-2021 school year I can't get money to home school or Charter school? Thanks

So Vlad wants us to have freedom of choice in what schools our kids can go too and what is being taught to them? Vlad wants all of our schools open this fall and make sure sports are being played? Check this out. I called my other pal who teaches special needs in the IE. His wife has home schooled all three of their children from birth. Yes, they're Christian based curriculum and all that but that is their choice. They get $2800 a kid to teach them each year. They use that money for books, dance and many things they deem helpful in kiddos education. Field trips with mom and all that. The dad saw all the brainwashing early on in his career and wanted a balance education with a Christian theme and not just the big bang or how white people are the devil and this country is evil and basically since your a mix of white and asian kid, your evil too because your papa is white and probably married your mother because he is a racist and wants full control of his asian wife. Their oldest dd just graduated and got a full ride in dance at Biloa btw. Back to the reason why I called him the other day. If online is all we get for my dd Jr year, I wanted that $2800 and we will do the teaching ourselves. I asked him how I can get that dough and he said, "you cant." I asked, why? He said Governor added a little something something three weeks ago in the rule book that keeps all the money in each district now from the previous year. Meaning, I can home school or even go charter, but no money follows me. Nothing like adding to the rules mid season before election. I don;t like it one bit. Anyone else find this odd?

Youth sports under the camp guidance was a loophole that never real existed in the first place, it's was just convenient to assume it was workable. Obviously it wasn't vented by the state so they have been clarifying that with the cities or people that have been inquiring.

Ask your Club or Cal South why they don't do diligence before suggestion proceeding. Flase start or whatever the case is not a good idea to play with kids emotions.

Youth sports will return but maybe this time people wont jump the gun and be a little bit more cautious about the way they go about things. Insurance generally doesn't cover anybody for activities that are not legal or currently permitted, all the waivers don't change that so proceed at your own risk.

Overall I'm sad for the kids because they deserve to be able participation in outdoor sports and all the hoops everyone has to or will have to jump through seem unfair so I'm urging my local heath people and state gov reps to get the youth sports guidance done so we can have a real return to play.

In the meantime parks and beaches are open so kids can still play & practice. My older player has been training ever other day just about, takes the portable goals and cones with and they have fun.

The old system of pay to play is over and will never return and that is very good. This needed some cleaning and it's getting cleaned up as we speak. Why dont one of the spies go and watch the kids play at the beach. This is a joke!!!
 
This is not going to stop parents from taking kids to do private lessons, or just go to the park and kick the ball. If people can go to gyms and places like Walmart or Home Depot, There’s no reason why we can’t get our kids to do some practice drills with a small group of friends.
 
The hospitals in NorCal were laying folks off. My wife volunteered to take a month of vacation so others more in need wouldn’t be laid off.
You see, the good thing about growing up poor, is that I don’t trip on material things. As long as I have my health and can get whatever I lose back. Man makes money, money doesn’t make the man.

Are you to good to eat beans, rice, & cornbread until things get better. Or do you want some cheese to go with that WINE?

That's funny... a black man accusing someone else of "whining".

Lawsuits and more lawsuits. This has to blow up and all the healthy clubs and all these real good coaches like Coach Doug and Coach Buck need to create a new way to get the girls to scrimmage. I'm all in and my dd just wants to play soccer games with friends. We need to start a grass roots. Maybe have Varsity level and JV. Mix the girls all up and go have fun. We ((the girls)) can go play soccer you guys.

Nor it should'nt there are several different ways to keep participating, practicing, having fun. My kids played pick up soccer for years before even having a coach or knowing about organized sports.

Pick-up soccer on private property or private facilities should still be a option I would think and there's parks and beaches also.

Sorry me and my ilk do private school. The way things are headed and since newsom seems especially wanting to give the finger to t I think we may have paid for some very expensive online schooling. At least they’ll have in person instruction all 5 days and can unwind it fast after the election (yes Im there already...I’ve become that cynical but I also think things will break in SoCal now by mid to late september). Still not worth what we paid for. Parents were already up in arms about things at our school. The hellstorm that’s about to land on the school admin is not pretty.

It wouldn’t surprise me though. The budget was crafted at the last minute to prevent a train wreck in the local school districts. Lots of pain is deferred until 2021-2022 and the assumption is a Biden government will give them a massive bailout. So it wouldn’t shock me if they took out new home school money which would torch the budget if everyone in well off districts did it (looking at you oc).

Sons school soccer camp cancelled today. At least he won’t have to have a Covid test.
 
In your inquiries into the COVID issues, have you come across any actual data or studies indicating that outdoor youth sports are actually resulting in any increased risk of transmission, whether by or among kids or parents? We know that this shutdown has not been good for kids. My kids' teams tonight were so down about things being suspended again. Their parents were down. I am not an unreasonable person. If there is science that shows that these activities are resulting in people getting sick in some disproportionate way, then I can accept that and explain it to my kids. Absent some empirical support showing that outdoor youth sports are actually a problem, then this feels like more incoherent, reactionary nonsense policy to me. So, please, share the data on transmissions through youth sports. Or through kids generally. I am sorry if I missed it in an earlier post. If there is none, then why are we allowing this to be done to our kids? Kids need activity and socialization. Humans need it. We all know that.

When experts are telling us that a vaccine may or may not be available for 12-18 months or ever, life in America is supposed to look like this for how long? And don't say November 4 because I am trying not to be that cynical. So, how long? As a result of a virus that kills less than 1% of the population?

The closest I’ve found is a cluster on a high school baseball team.


No word on whether the team also got together for a party or movie night. (we don’t know if it was outdoor or indoor transmission)

I haven’t been able to find reports of an elementary age cluster of any kind- indoor or outdoor.
 
I have done my own analysis of risk on sports outside which is why I have always believed there was no good reason for soccer to not start as I have stated multiple times. Tonight after finding out the announcement about no youth sports I looked at the CDC guidance. All of the protocols put in place for soccer teams made it a "Low Risk" activity. Soccer teams even put more protocols in place than what the CDC called for to make it low risk. This action has nothing to do with science. What it has to do with is some ding dong reporter that decided to do an investigation for no good reason which made the State realize they did not issue guidance. Each county health approved it so the fact the State health is pulling it so they can issue guidance because they were late to the game is unconscionable given how many kids are impacted by this ludicrous reason.
Just to add something new to the mix, saw on the news this morning that covid may cause brain damage. Patients who have recovered are experiencing neurological problems. Hope it is temporary! This would make sense because of the ACE2 receptors in the the brain along with other organs.
 
Also a 10 year old case from a basketball tournament in Missouri.



There's also been some cases of transmission in camps (I think Arkansas and Georgia). Yes, those were sleep away camps so kids basically living together. But it's also clear there isn't 0 transmission. Even if we get to reopen the schools (which is LA, OC and Ventura Counties isn't looking too good right now), they are going to get constantly reclosed because some kid catches it from his parents and everyone has to quarantine. We're really at the point where either we just say to hell with it and accept the risks, or we don't (and California seems to be saying we don't). The experts don't want to say that, so they've handed down a bunch of rules which are unworkable and no one can meet, which is why everyone is spinning their wheels, and why t jumped into the fray and the CDC responded by just confusing things even more.

The plans to reopen the Thatcher and Cate boarding schools are interesting. No day schoolers will be allowed. You have to board. Students will be hard shut and isolated on campus until thanksgiving as will a lot of the teachers and admin who are moving on campus. They don't say, though, what happens to the service workers (kitchen workers, cleaning staff, security, horse groomers). At a very minimum they'll be vets coming in and out of the Thatcher to care for the horses so not sure how tight that bubble can be, or if the state will sign off on their plans.

It isn't just schools. We see it with biz. Some employee gets it and the place shuts down for some deep cleaning.

You cannot live like this.

The views from Cate are nice. My DD has done some One Soccer Camps there in the past.

Interesting....I wonder if they will find out the neurological problems are related.

age of kids at the sleepaway camp clusters? The ones I have seen are mostly HS.
