Calling you a polemicist simply means that you are engaging in debate. It doesn't imply that you are lying or anything.

You could, for example, vaccinate the players and key personnel before the season started.


you think extremely healthy 18-22 year olds will be a priority? they're likely the last cohort to get vaccinated

I'm sure you read that Russian has approved a vaccine this morning

you cannot trust anything that comes from Russian PR

hell, they even named it after their last great victory over the US (Sputnik)

We're going to have a vaccine well before the four year prediction from the first page of this thread.

that's a lot higher of a chance than having one ready by December. i mean did you read my link that Moderna won't even have enough humans to test their vaccine for the 3rd phase trial until sometime in September (optimistically)? you think they can complete a trial, crunch the numbers, and get whatever government approval exists now in 2.5-ish months?

let me put it another way, would you think that vaccine is even safe? we're talking about a type of vaccine we have never before used on humans without real science behind it and no oversight

No we are not in the 2nd wave yet. This is still the first wave that we almost flattened but didn’t.

bullshite! Some parts of America are in their first wave and others are in their second. I live in Jefferson Parish which is clearly finishing its second wave. The first wave peaked April 4th and the second wave peaked July 27th. Orleans Parish is similar.

a controversial debate

honestly i don't even think it's a debate. it's clearly just another carrot to take away some more societal glue while trying to give just enough hope to avoid social unrest/chaos. the logistics of football in January-April are just impossible, even if we could get the virus under control (which we won't have done by January)

and i'm not saying it's a particular side doing this, even though the thread has kind of gone down that point

many areas of the Midwest haven't even had a first wave

You’re right about the Spring, BTW.

ADs are even saying it. From another thread:
quote:

Multiple athletic directors told AL.com that a move to the spring ultimately wouldn’t work and will result in college football not happening again until fall 2021.

Anyone with a brain knows that. Spring football was never a good idea and has zero chance of happening.

OP is correct.

Although, if Joe Biden wins in November, I bet things go back to "normal" with COVID much quicker.

Brilliantly worded.
I am going to use your argument for not postponing a long-overdue civil trial (again).
Much appreciated.

Huh?

Everyone else is going back to normal with some additional control measures in place. European countries are already back in school, Sweden seems to be at herd immunity and New Zealand hasn’t had a case in weeks. Even China and Thailand have reopened schools.

We are the only nation talking about shutting everything tf down for a year. Wake up.

The poster you replied to is a hardcore Dem that supports all of this.

He knows his political leaders and their ilk are the ones pushing for these measures everywhere. He also knows he has the MSM to assist every narrative.

This is the part where he mocks you for pointing it out. I was once on his team. I know how this goes. OP was also once on his team as well.

It takes just a smidge of honesty and about 30 seconds of google work to see that Europe has been balls deep in soccer, cricket, and a host of other sports for weeks already.

What is it that you’re going to revisit?

All of the correct predictions regarding no chance of spring football and no widely distributed vaccine in 2020?

Why don’t you share your wisdom now?

Agreed, but they don't have an election coming up where they are trying to push a literal BRAIN DEAD MORON into their highest office. In order to do this, we must make things here seem as awful as we can. With Trump NOT being the authoritarian they always say he is, Dem leaders are taking this opportunity to show you who they really are.

Now that the mask has come off, their LCD followers like Charles must carry the water and push the narrative they bought into.

Your facts and freedom stop where their feelings begin.
