Is Surf Cup happening?

Why do we pay billions of dollars to fund CDC amd NIH if we are going to ignore them during a crisis?

We paid good money for expert advice. The experts have told us to wear masks and limit gatherings. Time for all of us to get with the program.

That said, I agree with you on sports. I keep looking for the news report about an infection cluster triggered by an outdoor basketball game, and I haven’t been able to find one.

But, while our kids play, we parents should put on our masks and go for a walk.

Tesoro High School in the Capistrano School District has seven football players that have tested positive for covid.

How so? I get a lot of people are following the media panic machine but let’s look at the facts. College athletes are some of the most in shape people on earth, if they have a history of a health issue that’s a different story. But i have not heard a single story of one athlete showing actual symptoms. As far as youth sports, what changes? Same narrative, I haven’t heard a single story of a child in the US showing any symptoms. Should we be smart about this? Yes. Should we full on panic because we hear a bunch of adult athletes have tested positive with no symptoms? No. Not to mention, these tests were rolled out so fast that proper testing wasn’t performed about their accuracy. I’m not saying they are wrong but it is possible. I say just keep moving forward, wear masks in crowded places, let the kids play and until deaths start to increase, don’t panic.

There is a story of a young rugby player, 24, I think, that nearly died. Was in ICU, on a ventilator for quite a while. He was put into a clinical trial and survived. He had no underlying medical conditions and was in great physical shape. From what I read they think he was exposed to a high viral load. (many people exposing him at he same time.) Who knows, it does happen, probably more than is reported. Let's hope the death rate and hospital rate doesn't increase. The therapeutics are getting better and maybe we will have a vaccine available by next spring.

Let’s go all the way back to the original Covid poster child.....Tom Hanks. Anyone remember him being broadcast cause he was stuck in Australia in quarantine? Never saw a follow up to that one.

Dont forget all NBA players that got the virus early on too. If I saw KD fall ill and die of Corona, you got my attention. Hanks die? My wife and I are in the best shape of our lives. My wife looks 35. I had someone tell me the other day I look 45. My dd could be a swimsuit model and my son is lifting weights and is kicking ass. My wife's friend Ana is huge and I mean super unhealthy. All I hear from this lady is t this and t that and t is the devil. She tells my wife to wear a mask. I told her for the first time ever to lose weight and she said I was right and thanked me for Karing

Article today from the Wall Street Journal talks about the things we are learning about how Covid-19 spreads. Sporadic outdoor contact apparently isn't all that risky. Indoor gatherings in poorly ventilated buildings for longer than 15 minutes (bars, churches, schools, restaurants) are what is fueling the spread.

Has there been a single case of soccer player-to-opponent Covid-19 transmission anywhere in the US?

Gee, I didn't know they had been playing. It has happened in tennis in Europe, I guess they shouldn't have shaken hands at the end of the match.

Here's a story

Tesoro High School in the Capistrano School District has seven football players that have tested positive for covid.

The question is whether they got it on the field, locker room, or at a house party. Or whether the cases are even related. If the team had 100 kids for summer try outs, 7 isn’t all that unlikely.

We know teenagers can get it and spread it, especially indoors.

We also know that it spreads poorly outside, and that we have not seen any clusters at the thousands of elementary schools that re-opened in Europe and Asia.

May be that we need to draw the line at middle school age. But, if we are going to take away all in person opportunites for elementary kids to play, I‘d like a better explanation than “6 feet”.

The tennis outbreak was when they filled a stadium with people without masks. Maybe tennis wasn’t the main culprit?

All the top leagues in Europe are playing.. EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga and Series A. No real issues, also no fans in the seats, but reporters and team staff. Bundesliga has been going since May 16.

I was speaking with a Dr today and specifically mentioned that youth may be healthy, however if they are Vaping then they are at an elevated risk of having complications as the vaping significantly irritates the lungs and affects breathing.

Vap store is essential too. Plus they make them with strong THC and other sh*t for teens.

Additionally, I want to know.... what was the circumstance of the test. Did someone test positive and they did contact tracing then tests.... as the result of them being together.... Did anyone who tested positive show symptoms or we they asymptomatic?? Or did they start summer workouts and the entire team was test as a precaution which would obviously uncover those cases illustrated by the CDC report saying that for every 1 positive test there are 10 asymptomatics who would never even know they had it.

Have you seen that as the requirement for the tourneys, or is that your recommendation? Seems reasonable for the time being. I'd accept that for my kid to play, although were not signed up for either tournament, so it moot point for us.

I'd accept that if the games were all filmed and available on-line.

For professional add +$80-200 to each game for that to happen. Many people don't want to pay that even ifts only like $5 a family more per games. Only if we make the playoffs is a common thing I've heard from others.

Parents might change their tune if it's the only way to watch their kid's games...

 

[Eagle33]

What parents suppose to do if they are not allowed to attend games? Drop kids off and hand out in a car? beach?

Yeah money talks so I'm sure there are more than enough companies to offer services.

I personally prefer the ones that offer player highlights + game highlights up front 5min max. I've watched over 10k games between my kids & prefer to cut to the chase but can always use the online media tools as most regular pace youth soccer games don't hold my interest.

Bar but there closed so I'm out.

Can't really get to the beach and back in time to pick up a kid from a single game can you? Maybe on a bike, I would go for a ride or something. Not sitting in a car on a nice summer day that's for sure
