What's your best guess as to when trainings will resume?

[Soccermaverick]

You people amaze me... this thing is coming to get you and you are going to trying to rationalize how to get around it... breath deep my friends this thing has outsmarted us all.

What was the devil’s greatest feat. Making everyone believe he didn’t exist...

I think I'll trust the point behind what this well known endocrinologist says, who actually was told that by a close friend who is a disease medical expert, rather than some wanna be know it

I wish people would take a step back and take a look at Brazil where there hasn't been as much physical distancing and look at the number of children who have been infected and have died. I think we did a pretty good job once everyone sheltered in place but now with everything opening up, which is great, people are not really trying to physical distance much anymore and not enough face masks. At least the kids aren't in school for the summer that will help. Hope everyone stays healthy until the big biotech firms and vaccine specialist finish their work. There are a few things that look really good going into phase 3 trials and a couple of very hopeful therapeutics. We shall see.

I know your fearful but let me provide facts so your not so uptight:

SB county- Population is 2.2 million people: ZERO deaths from age 0-30 (222 overall of which 180 over the age of 65);
SD county-Population is 3.25 million people: 3 deaths from 0-30 (all above the age of 25).;
LA county-Population is 10 million people; 72 deaths from 0-40 (doesn't breakdown specifics just says up to age 40)

Total-Population is 15.5 million people of which zero (more than likely) deaths from age 0-18;

Those stats scream out to all to OPEN the soccer fields. Complete incompetence by our governor, health officials, and Cities. Parents above 60 should stay home or sit in a secluded area away from others.

I suspect the Brazil cases of child covid deaths are covid, mixed with severe malnutrition. Similar to what is happening in Indonesia.

Happy to read a link if you have one. And thanks for the reminder to support MSF.

Riverside county is allowing professing sports teams and gyms to open today but not youth sports. Professional sports are not allowed to have spectators.


I think the county is probably trying to come up with specific requirements for youth sports. They are probably also afraid of a sport like football with very close contact and a shared ball passed with hands which constantly touch mouth guards.

Our local school district rolled out the summer sports pre-season training plans for when county gives the o.k.. Golf, teninis, swimming, and volley o.k. Cross country o.k. but virtual races only (e.g. runners leaving a different times running against the clock). Soccer lacrosse baskbetball and water polo o.k.ed for distanced skill training only. Football and equestrian were the only no -go sports and they aren't looking to issue 3rd party field permits, at least not right now.

My kid is 10. ECNL isn’t really the question unless I get bored and start thinking out three to four years. (she’s good, but nowhere near good enough to play up 3 years into ECNL)

It does bug me that we’re all stuck at home because some people can’t follow simple rules about masks and parties. We could be out playing in sunshine.

Instead, some dumb shits have to throw Memorial Day parties, infect their friends, and convince the health department that we all need another two weeks of being bored stiff.

Question becomes....how long do we kick the can down the road? You have to open up at some point and even when you think you have the “all clear” by even the most conservative of “experts”. Yes, this virus will continue to pass thru societies for decades if not generations. Just as so many viruses before COVID continue to do today.

There will be another spike as we open, it’s inevitable. Hopefully we have made good use of the time we quarantined, learned and prepared.

I am not fearful just a pragmatist. I am looking forward to having soccer back on track. Trust me. Those are pretty good numbers, but you also need to remember, those numbers are without school, without sports, without kids hanging out at the mall, going to the movies, going to yogurt shops, going to football games and parties, without much interaction if any with friend's families and neighbors. Hopefully with summer and fall always being a time of low viral spread and no school during the summer, we will do great. Come late fall, early winter, who knows.

I'm trying to trust you copa. Hows your friend from Havsue doing? Hope her fever went down. Why was she at the lake in the first place and was she sick before she went and didn't know it? Who was the irresponsible person who gave it to her? Trace it for us so we know the truth and who to watch out for. I say September mass panic will come for the second wave. Take that to the bank copa.

Actually a variety of other nations report the same thing. The youth don't have an issue.

Half true. Kids are safe. There have been quite a few teenager clusters. Look at the school openings, and subsequent closures, in Israel.

It is more than half true. Go look up stats.

 

[dad4]

I did. That’s why I pointed you to Israel’s high school based infection clusters.

AZ has a teenager covid infection cluster at Mingus up by Prescott. That one is residential. The Israeli ones were ordinary high schools.

How do you get a high school based cluster if teenagers are immune? Teenagers can absolutely transmit the virus.

 

[rainbow_unicorn]

No thanks.
We are sendIng you back with uncle Colin, McCain, Romney, flake and Comey.

Other way around. Republicans dying for the day when they finally rid themselves of Trump. I guess you forgot how they’ve been dragging their fwet to support him since he won party’s primary.

Looks like AYSO is having a hard time figuring out what to do with Extras players. Extras teams are technically only formed for a year (even though some try and keep together) and everyone has to go through the open tryout system. However, particularly in LA County, it's unlikely that they'll allow the cattle call tryouts any time soon. In both the region where my son played and our home region, Extras players (even if on an existing team) have been asked to registered for Core, and they'll be given notice if and when Extras tryouts are permitted. Core is a little easier to accommodate...players just take their number ranking from the previous year and if push comes to shove you can just assign the new players no number.

Parents above 60 should stay home or sit in a secluded area away from others.

This is not a well thought out plan.

How do these parents prevent getting covid from their child that gets infected during soccer activities then comes home?

Unless these children are completely isolated from their families and the community like the many professional sports teams are doing with their players, there is no way to prevent infection between players and their families.

If you are a high risk parent or grandparent then activities like soccer, church, and even school will require second thoughts and hard decisions until there is a vaccine or a more successful treatment. I'm sure many families are already considering this and some players will not participate.

This is not true-- look up "multisystem inflammatory syndrome". There have been a number of children-- mostly in Europe and the USA-- that have developed a post-infectious inflammatory syndrome associated with prior COVID-19 infection. These children have developed a number of serious problems including cardiomyopathy.

Completely agree they should be out playing. One caveat though is that the kids may get it, have no symptoms, be healthy, but pass it on to parents. So keep the grandparents away. I understand our household may get sick, but my parents and in laws are going to stay away for a while longer.

A “number of children”? How many? What are the odds? I like my chances.

They do from the flu and other viruses too. What's a little strange about this one is the average age is slightly higher than Kawasaki's normally runs.

Any truth to the rumor that they're adding competitive Virtue Signaling and Looting to the sports menu since they're Covid proof?

Not agreeing or disagreeing with this just yet but if basketball is a 7 where is soccer or football?

Coronavirus: Public health experts ranked 36 American activities based on risk

A new analysis chose 36 American activities and asked four public health experts weigh in on the risk of coronavirus exposure for each activity.
