Orrrrr...hear me out. You are teaching them, if there is a barrier in your way find a way to get by it.
Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

I didn't say that I had no impact. My 11 year old is starting middle school online. Math is key in our household and middle school is a key rung in the math ladder. My 22 year old is definitely impacted and she won't be coming back home until sometime in May. Any way that you slice it I wouldn't put my kid at risk. My 22 year old is fortunate enough to get to play soccer in a bubble and gets tested 2-3 times a week for COVID but that isn't the case in youth or even college soccer.
Continued good fortune to you and your player.

My DD is asking for a skateboard. I think I’ll get her one. Maybe I’ll get one too. What’s the worst that could happen?
I would argue some people are not taking vacations because of the rules and restrictions at hotels, resorts, towns make it very unattractive to pay for travel.

This is a moronic statement at best. Why do you assume that because someone doesn't want to drive states away for a friendly, they are "hiding in their basement"?
This is a really solid and cogent article. It is absolutely, positively critical to know what other factors contribute to people dying of Covid so that we can better target efforts to reducing risks for people in those higher risk categories who are likely to die from it. This saves lives not only for those who get C19, but for many other reasons as well.
Unfortunately, you have irresponsible, uneducated complete dumbs**ts like @MSK357 who misrepresent a hugely important process to falsely claim that it proves no one is dying of C19. Maybe he believes it, but probably he’s doing this only because he’s humiliated that he predicted 15, then 40, then 100, then no more deaths than 12,000, then no more than 60,000 followed by absolutely positively never in the hundreds of thousands. Regardless, think about it. We have an idiot who is trying to tear down and misrepresent basic processes that are critical to saving lives because he’s embarrassed and too much of a p**sy to admit that he’s wrong, and wrong, and wrong, and wrong, and then wrong again.
In fact, @MSK357’s argument is so ridiculously stupid in its face that it is hard to believe anyone supports it. Consider, for example, the death certificate that lists covid, heart disease and obesity as causes of death. By his insane logic, they didn’t die of covid because it was heart disease and obesity. But that also means they didn’t die of heart disease because they died of the other two. And they also didn’t die from obesity because they died of the other two.
The type of anti-science b.s. that folks like @MSK357 spew should be mocked at every possible opportunity. Very few, but still too many, people read and accept stupid posts like his and refuse to put in the effort necessary to read or understand actual science, or political reasoning, or anything on a subject by those who actually know what they’re talking about. They need to be humiliated over and over again until it is very clear that they need to keep their unthoughtful s**t anonymous, and are driven back under their little rocks and other dark places where cockroaches congregate.
Thank you for posting this article. I’m sure we won’t see any legitimate article from @MSK357 in response.
My daughter asked her dad for a skateboard and I've never seen him happier. They spent a lot of time picking it out. He's been talking about his skater days again and what he was able to do. Hope he doesn't try those moves.
Just make sure you always have a video camera focused on you while riding. Especially the first few times.
I was in CA a month ago, Tahoe packed to the brim, no vacancy. We were lucky that we planned this trip pre covid.
On our way out, we tried to book a place closer to the bay area, hotels told us unless we were "essential" we couldn't be paying customers. They were 100% restricting occupancy. We took our business somewhere else.
Occupancy wasn't exactly high, probably due to the fear you mention above.

I am curios as to what you think the risk actually is for someone under 24?
As of now we have 330 people nationwide who have died due to covid who are under 24.
When I see just 330 deaths in that age group...it seems safe to say they do not have any real risk. How do you look at that number and think it seems risky?
I will just take your response and leave it at that...not looking to go back and forth. Just curious.

We are moving to 2 soccer practices a week (COVID practicing) as we have been doing all summer. Since there's no soccer, I am just doing some indoor for my kid. Just get a few of the same parents to get together at a park once a week to play. Basketball and cycling is also becoming a priority in our family.

On a side note....I just finished our annual trip to South Carlsbad where we rent a trailer and have it delivered to the campsite. I spoke to the owner and he said business is booming right now. Sales and rentals of trailers are sky high right now which also has a trickle down impact on employment (i.e. manufacturing, sales, delivery personnel). Where one market segment has decreased, another has increased.
But the stock market is breaking records, we have a V shaped recovery, and just wait till the next quarter where we’ll have the best economy in the history of the world.

My brother was in Tahoe last weekend for work and said it was packed!
This makes more sense than you are admitting. DD here asked for a new bike. Got her one and the whole house has been happier.
Have fun skating. Don’t forget the helmets.

Owning a travel company I can tell you this is very true. Even more so if the focus is on travel outside the US.
People aren't vacationing not only because of fear, but because when you get somewhere there's nothing to do. Places like Park City are busy though and while things like the ropes course are closed, others like the alpine slide or the lakes are open and busy. Bestie is in Idaho and has a similar experience. Camp grounds in the Wasatch Mountains have been full.
Can't go to Hawaii. 14 day quarantine....unless you use a service or have a friend get your groceries it's impossible to even get settled. Hawaii has trashed its economy and still has a COVID problem. Other places like New Mexico and New York have quarantines too. Given the civil unrest it's not like people are beating down the doors to get New York City, San Francisco or Portland.
Yes, it's affected things. The House of Mouse is down too in attendance and is restricting hours. But from what we know, young adults are still going to Disney World. It's the families which are absent. Yes, some people are kept away because maybe a theme park isn't the best place to be right now, particularly if you are vulnerable. But also the families don't want to argue with the 7 year old about keeping a mask on all day, and why make the trip of a lifetime if they can't even meet Mickey?
And obviously because of travel bans Europe is off the table. Large corps are going to have a problem post-vaccine. Lots of employees will want to have time off for delayed vacations or obligations (like weddings).
Tell that to the 10,000+ employees of Marriott that are furloughed. Just because you can stay in a hotel does not mean that they are at full employment. Agree to disagree but I’m working with facts and you “experiences”......have a nice day
