Best day since July 12th. Hopefully we will start to see a crest. Next couple of weeks should tell us alot. This is the week I was sort of expecting things to plateau if people started to change behavior based on the surges that started to be noticeable publicly in late June. Then next week is...

Bwelbo, I certainly agree with you and I don't think the health experts disagree with you. The recommendations of the Task Force for states in red include closing bars, indoor dining, gyms and reducing events to no more than 10 people. Bars and restaurants are among the first things they...

PAC12 indefinitely postpones virtual media day https://sports.yahoo.com/pac-12-indefinitely-postpones-virtual-173613848.html Updates on what various states are doing with HS sports...

Alot of helpful information has come out over the last few days. Let's start with the 'Governor's Reports'. I suspect these are not one time documents, I would expect they are produced on some cadence. But the one for July 14th was put in a public space. If you want to see what they are you can...

NFL players are starting to get testy with the NFL. Saying the NFL is not listening to its own medical experts and if it wants a season it needs to start to...

I hope you continue to get better. This is one weird virus. One person can be knocked down and another be perfectly fine and there is no rhyme or reason sometimes. Had a 60 yr old relative, overweight, with Diabetes and he basically had almost no symptoms, very mild. But had a 25 yr old friend...

AP article on the importance of testing to college football and whether it might not be rigorous enough as currently laid out. https://sports.yahoo.com/big-window-testing-plan-rigorous-enough-football-213439409--ncaaf.html

Univ of AL has modified their fall schedule so they end in person classes Nov 20th (similar to what some other schools have done). Fall break is cancelled. After Nov 20 they will finish up the semester using online classes. Also, all students are being required to show a negative test from...

FWIW, Here are the states that if you are coming from or returning from (if you are NY resident) you are required to quarantine for 14 days upon entrance into NY. (this also applies to NJ and CT and Chicago has a similar ordinance). My mother-in-law was in the hospital all week so we have been...

The Colonial cancelled its conference schedule but will allow schools to try to schedule games if they want to, most don't plan to try. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29482084/colonial-athletic-conference-cancels-football-season-due-coronavirus-pandemic I saw one article where...

Since we are going to get back into the HCQ argument. Let's bring that one up to date. This is all from the Journal of Annals of Internal Medicine in the last 2 days. First this review of all HCQ studies so far showing alot of biases by studies from both the positive and negative point of view...

You are creating a strawman TooTall. Who exactly is saying we should stay at home and never go out. That is not what is being said at all and you know that. I don't stay at home and never go out. I leave my house every day to take walks and do whatever I need to do. Nobody as far as I can tell...

Keep in mind that the NCAA is nothing more than its member institutions - the universities. Basically it says what the universities want it to say. It's very much in the universities interest - especially the AA's to say the SA's are amateur, that makes it easier to claim they are not for profit...

it really needs to be understood to be a very nuanced topic, not - keep them home, or send them to school. Neither of those absolutes really work. There has been a great series today by the John Hopkins School of Public Health. They have been open and honest that it would be better to get kids...

SI.com has a draft document of the COVID Protocol for college sports. https://www.si.com/college/2020/07/16/power-5-conferences-covid-testing-college-football College teams will be required to test football players within 72 hours of games using the standard PCR test. Game officials in football...

My previous post should say AL not AK. Sorry.

You realize that none of those numbers are good numbers. 24 out of every 1,000 people with a confirmed case dying is not good. 1 out of every 9 needing hospitalization is not good. My daughter and son in law were visiting last night. his mom is a nurse. She says her hospital in Atlanta is full...

Unfortunately yeah. Was reading an article from Louisiana this morning where they were talking about running short of testing supplies and that by early in the morning testing sites were already running out. Also mentioned that testing is backed up so bad that in some cases in can 10 days to get...

Someting else to keep an eye on. This comment by an Athens-Clarke Co commissioner. If hospitals in areas where universities are located are filled with patients already, it makes it more difficult to play football (certainly with fans) given that is likely to lead to higher case loads "Russell...

I agree, thumbs up.
