Time to Play

Tell that to the 17 year old girl who just died in Florida today from covid, just two days after her birthday.
i cant tell her she is dead. what was her health history? 17 year olds also die while playing sports every year from some undetected health problem. 7000 people died today from something other than covid. life is risky and precious.
 

You know ZERO about her medical background and underlying health conditions.
True, and how many children have unknown underlying conditions? We don't know if she did or didn't. We don't know and need to be careful with opening contact sports with our children. Covid is not your typical virus;
 
Have you looked at the numbers in Georgia as of today?
Just looked and the death rate continues to nosedive. I suppose you are looking at the new cases which you will claim due to the tired refrain of "lag time" will result in significant deaths. (BTW Georgia has been reopened for months and I find it curious that there is a sudden spike a week or two after the protests, looting and riots.) I'm sure you will post here in glee if that ever turns out to be right. Like I said before I find it extremely odd behavior to want things to be worse than they are.
Tell that to all the teens who killed themselves today. I heard also about a 17 year old who did of cancer and another one just had the common flu and she died. We might know the same people Copa
Unfortunately I know a couple teens in our community who have committed suicide as well as a few more in other communities. Was it due to the social isolation, hard to say, but suicide is one of the non-covid health impacts of the lockdown that medical professional are very concerned about. In fact some are seeing an unprecedented rise in suicides https://abc7news.com/suicide-covid-19-coronavirus-rates-during-pandemic-death-by/6201962/

This whole tunnel vision with Covid approach is seriously fucked up.
 
You want soccer back to normal? Be pragmatic. Wear you mask, do your share of social distancing, get the positive test rate down to 4% again, then more and more things will open up.

No amount of whining or outrage on this forum will result in anything if the infection rate continues at the current pace.
Let's call it a peaceful protest... that's pragmatic:D

Herd immunity....How well did that theory work out for Sweden?

"Even if infection with the COVID-19 virus creates long-lasting immunity, a large number of people would have to become infected to reach the herd immunity threshold. Experts estimate that in the U.S., 70% of the population — more than 200 million people — would have to recover from COVID-19 to halt the epidemic. If many people become sick with COVID-19 at once, the health care system could quickly become overwhelmed. This amount of infection could also lead to serious complications and millions of deaths, especially among older people and those who have chronic conditions."

I already stated over and over again....I am not worried about my kid playing soccer outside. I am worried about the herd ignorance that has been achieved from people quoting information from February and March that will result in us having to go into various levels of shut down because of hospital capacity. I presented the numbers from yesterday to show there are some concerns because the County and/or the State will have no other option but to make shut down choices because of hospital capacity. This is from today.

The uptick in COVID positive ICU patients in the state the past 10 days looks to be a bit over a 10% (around 1100 to about 1220). What is interesting is that LA is flat to barely down. OC is more or less flat if you look at the last 10 days. SD had a sudden drop during the 10 days then resumed at basically the same level so it didn't significantly contribute to the rise in the last 10 days. However, San Bernardino, Riverside, Kern, Stanislaus and Santa Barbara are obviously rising and hit new highs the last 10 days.

As of today, cases in Georgia are surging with all 159 counties reporting cases. There are now about 70,000 cases in Georgia. Three counties have higher per capita case rates and death rates than New York. There have now been about 2,700 deaths with 2,200 in critical condition and the numbers are going up.
Then stay home and cower "snowflake" :rolleyes:

A soul needs a meaning and purpose to live. Keep in mind a lot of these kids thought we were going to have a war with North Korea and or Iran. Then the Corona and riots after that. Crazy ass times for the youth.

Yeah, I had hoped that the opening in GA was going to work out so we could copy it.

I don’t know if GA is growing because the plan was bad, or the plan was good except for the protests.

I really wish we could all wear masks and limit contacts. Compared to everything else, wearing a mask and having my bridge night online is not a big deal.
 
Some people on this forum would make very good Nazis...in a couple of weeks this virus is going to dictate what happens not the uniformed Nazi here.
OK Mavs, you say so. I say this. In two weeks, the politicians will dictate what happens, not the virus. Were always behind the data because we won;t know the facts until after the facts. For example, OC had to add 26 deaths to the death count. Headline News is what grabs everyone's attention. OC Register does this all the time. Look at this mornings headline. You have to read the article to find the truth:

Coronavirus: 26 new deaths, 354 new cases in Orange County as of June 24


Update: Orange County health officials said Wednesday afternoon that “there is a delay in identification and confirmation of deaths and this group of deaths reported today are the result of a concentrated effort to reconcile death certificates with reported cases.” They said the 26 deaths were not all from the previous day, but would even reach back to recent weeks.

The Orange County Health Care Agency reported on Wednesday, June 24, another 26 deaths raising the total in the county since the start of tracking the coronavirus to 299.

Of those who have died, 152 were residents of skilled nursing facilities, up from 138 in Tuesday’s daily report.

More than half of those who died were in a nursing home. I already told many of you their is bonus money for "Corona Death." So again, your 78 and cursing around healthy in life and then bam, stroke attack and now brain dead because no oxygen to the brain. Rushed to hospital and they do what they can but you pass away really but do a breathing tube to see if brain wakes up. I had to do this a twice with dear friends who had strokes. Is there any brain activity? Stroke victim gets Corona at the hospital and is considered a corona death in the numbers. Triple bonus pay plus scare the crap out of everyone. It's what I call a Twofer.
 
MSK remember you bet me in March that fewer than 12,000 would die from the virus? You’ve got real credibility.
You're credibility was telling people to stay inside and treat this virus seriously while your "white chocolate" plays with the boys.
