Don't completely agree with the rollout demographics. There are 50 million people age 65 and older. 80% of the people dying from covid are 65 and older. Why not give the first 50 million doses to these people? Save their lives first since their chances of dying are dramatically larger than the under 65 crowd.

My crystal ball is broken, but based on pandemic history I don't see LA (which has been more restrictive with more infections) opening up before OC and SD. I hope your right about league play beginning in April or May. I'm not quite as optimistic, I think it will be closer to July 1, based on permission from the powers that be. Much earlier if its science based.
I hate to break it to you, but bars and restaurants will be open before youth soccer games will return. Do I think that's the right Covid decision, no, but from an economic standpoint food service takes priority over youth soccer. Education should take priority over all, and should be open now.

Because folks would then say “the man” was trying to kill old folks. I think it was necessary to include medical professionals in the initial 50 million to increase public confidence in the vaccine.
This is an interesting thought for sure. However, my experience thus far from clubs is one of almost indifference to the pandemic and a sentiment that you must put your passion/desire to play above all else....even public health. Anything short of that means you're letting your team down? SMH. Of course everyone wants to play and this effects a club's livelihood, but I'm truly shocked by the lack of care especially when Cali collleges aren't playing. What makes the club any different. I guess this is a question to the college coach. I'm curious about the answer as well.
And because medical professions are very highly connected. A GP sees a lot of different people in a day, usually in a small enclosed room. Even if medical staff weren’t saving our bacon on this, you’d still want to vaccinate them just to reduce spread.
Or, eat healthy and wear a mask? Plus, wash hands as all Docs do. I know a Doc ((super smart Doc and not a Coo Coo )) who has other remedies then a vaccine. Your starting to sound like a dope pusher for big pharma? Teacher stock in that game?

How many selfish parents will drop their kids off at school again the following day after the tournament despite school districts requests to quarantine after out-of-state travel?
Better yet how many parents will tell their kids to lie about going to the tournament?

No coach can give a definitive answer because there are too many variables. Worst case scenario is easily forseeable; outbreak and someone dies. There’s a professionally shot 4k video connecting your kid to the event. Reporters get video. Coach denies knowing your kid.
Oh, lots. If you are willing to violate the stay at home order for a tournament, you’re probably willing to lie to the school about leaving the state.
My middle schooler’s school just closed up after Thanksgiving, all the way through mid January. They didn’t even pretend to it was possible to trust that many different sets of parents.

I support the rollout demographics
- Many in the high-risk group are included in the initial phase (nursing homes, etc.)
- Due to proximity, front-line health care workers have a high potential of catching and transmitting the virus
- This initial rollout is likely the easiest group to quickly get vaccinated.
- This group is generally "pro-vaccine" and will serve as further evidence that the vaccine is safe (we hope)
- We will also learn a lot about what works and what doesn't in terms of logistics for the "less centralized" groups that will be vaccinated later
My kid has online school from 11:30-1:30 so no reason to have fear or judge us as a selfish family because we left the state to play some soccer. So much selfishness going on in todays world CK. Where have you fallen short in your selfishness bro? We ((my family of four)) always wear a mask, always wash our hands, stay 6 feet away from others when going out and look to help others. Selfishness is the biggest sin we all have. Christ said, "Deny yourself and carry your cross ((die to self)) daily and then come follow me." You're not far from the Kingdom bro with that attitude. Just stop judging is my advice. I built a sink at my front door to keep that virus away from me and my wife. I only go out from 5am-9am only now to keep the virus away. Surf if waves are pumping or just walk on the beach with my dog Oreo and throw tennis ball. Meditate for peace in my Chakra and make sure that my one eye is alive. Two eyes get you into trouble. Left or right? It's my time alone with Mother Nature and all her beauty. Basically, God is the Sacred Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine, all in one Energy of Love. Mom and Dad ((God)) and their Sun Jesus. The moon is Mother Earth and she represents all the woman from Eve. The Masculine side of the earth has been run by guys like Cain. Mother earth is pissed off at the Masculine side of man on earth. Man basically has been running the show and now woman is going to look to be equal. She should be too and I support that equality big time. I swear I surrendered to my wife and my dd long ago. My love for my wife is amazing and my relationship with my dd is out of this world. I gave her her freedom and that was huge to her. God gave me freedom so shouldnt I give her and my wife their freedom? God is both mom and dad, MOO. Super rad if you ask me. Wash hands before you set foot in my casa. I told my dd she is my biggest worry and threat and she better obey. She has a box of mask in the car and where we live, you cant move about without following the rules.
Better question....how many kids are actually even able to back to school?
BUt, you are not answering my question. What rules are people violating by going to another state?
What rules are people violating though? You ignored the question.
Define rule. Technically I think the government in these cases is pretty limited on what they can actually enforce.
Everyone in our district is still at home. No dropping off at school. I also hit double digits with how many teachers I know that have broken the rules and could infect the kids if they were actually teaching in class. Winery's, book club, Friendsgiving, cookie exchanges, watching their kids play volleyball inside. You name it, it happened. Shut down everything inside and let people go out.

My high school boys don't even want to go to school anymore. They are liking this zoom teaching. One thing for sure, most of the kids are going to be in very bad fitness when they actually get to play a game. My girl's 1 mile run this weekend was as slow as a middle aged person. No christmas cookies for her
My dd getting straight A's this year. Her classes first trimester was 9-1:30. 2nd Trimester is only 11:30-1:30. One class. I would b the water before class and after class. No hoops or baseball, oh well, surfing would be just find and dandy. My dd is going online throughout her Jr year. All A's so her GPA is now where it needs to be for the other half of the ride.My high school boys don't even want to go to school anymore. They are liking this zoom teaching.

I wish I could drop my kid off at school for full-time, in-person learning. Criminal that I can't.
Unless your kid has been locked down the entire time, no practices, no hanging out with friends, etc, you're drawing an arbitrary line in the sand based upon your own risk comfort level.
Not attending Surf, BTW.

So the college administrator is going to tell the coach to turn down a player just because they went to surf cup when they were 15-18 years old? Now is this just soccer or will they go after football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, waterpolo, golf, wrestling, track, crew, tennis and dance? My guess they don't ask.
