I'm going to go with the team of doctors that is making this decision for the program over a poster on TD. Maybe it's just me.

Where did you get your experience in contagious diseases? Asking for a friend.

Tell your friend it's common fLucking sense when you consider virtually everyone stays home while sick and gets over their illness without going to the doctor. Stevie Wonder can see that the reported cases would be nowhere near the actual number. Also, when you understand that hospitals are paid more per covid patient than non covid, understanding human nature would alert you to the tendency to over report deaths. Also 2+2=4, dummy.

Ok, nimrod. I'll go ahead and mark you down as being in the group of idiots who are for the 5 mph speed limit to eliminate virtually all auto deaths. Got it

Love the way you twist my statement to reflect your prejudices. Way to go.
I am high risk. Athletes are generally not. Coaches may be high risk. These are facts that you can not twist. I simply stated that the best way to start is to try to identify the number of asymptomatic players you have so they can be isolated.
This virus has not yet shown that victims have immunity. There is a hope that this is the case, but I have read conflicting reports at this time.
I personally think we should have people attending the games. I just think they should not be high risk people. It would help if people cared enough about their neighbors to wear masks, but that is clearly not the case.

Uhhhhh, mike, I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to nimrod. Now, after reading your posts in this thread, it's not feasible or necessary to test everyone. You can be negative today and positive tomorrow, so that doesn't work. I have said from day 1 we shouldn't have shut the economy down. That was done for political purposes.

It appears the media has you, and a lot of others scared to death. I have a couple of conditions considered bad for covid, and I don't want to be sick from ANYTHING which is why I have washed my hands 15-20+ times a day my whole adult life. Hopefully one day, we will have accurate reporting on the number of cases and deaths in regards to covid. If we ever do, I promise you the mortality rate will not be any worse than other known viruses.
