Hellcats

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm not a big musical guy. My wife is now obsessed, so we are on the 4th watching since it landed on Disney+. I dare not complain since I've made her watch reruns of games over COVID.

Mine was navy, but, man, that long bed made parallel parking rough.

In my district, about 30% of our kids live with grandma. Working in a big-box store is a false equivalency to school classrooms and school buildings for that matter. Big-Box stores have the space for social distancing and can enforce strict mask policies for employees and adult shoppers. Not really possible in school with kids, and those who believe so have been out of school too long.

I watched a guy do that in the liquor store the day the mask mandate came down. He just forgot his mask, he was desperate, 😄and did what was needed.

We will too, but contagious people don't always have a fever. Our school is going to put kids on buses trusting the parental temp checks.

This is the problem with schools. People will send their kids to school sick. They do all the time. Covid will be no different.

I remember some of the same disinformation when seatbelt laws were enacted. People would hang their hats on that one case where the seatbelt didn’t help or may have contributed to the death of a driver while ignoring the overwhelming amount of incidents where seatbelts saved the life of drivers.

How about we let the pros try it a while and then try? I'd feel a lot better about a grown man making millions attempt to play football during a pandemic than my 16 year old.

If incoming Freshman could participate, I would continue to support Spring ball, but largely it's a waste.

These are all ideas we could use this Spring if we would just move the season. It's going to be near impossible to have a season this Fall with the curve in the South going up.

I'm eager to hear more on this. Children have been largely sheltered until this recent outbreak. I'll have to say these reports are all over the map, I read an article yesterday that discussed the damage that asymptomatic children are seeing to their lungs even though they show no symptoms.

Exactly, look at the daily rate of countries going to school and look at ours. We are lucky in Kentucky to be mostly rural , but a return to school and sports as normal will throw that advantage away.

Some of your points have merit, most are assumptions since schools haven’t been open, but starting school as we have an exponentially higher rate of community spread than we did we shut down makes little sense. How many teachers and kids are willing to sacrifice? Some have said “only” .02% of school age children would die from this. Seems like a low number except that’s around 15,000 kids. How do you replace the teachers and admins and coaches you lose? I actually am for going back to school, but many want to throw the doors off and bust back in for selfish reasons. A school return has to be calculated and safe.

WTH! In all of this going on, there is a trend of police reports being blatantly false. Here is another example.

We knew this to start with, but at the beginning the powers that be said it was “worth it” to shut everything down to save those people; however, today nearly 3 months later I can’t see anybody feeling that way. The only instances we will see of shutdown will be schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and places that may fear getting their tails sued off. Can’t put the genie back in the bottle now. Some new projections from Harvard faculty have us losing another 100k nationwide by September. TBH that seems like a pretty weak estimate. That’s just over a 1k lives a day which has been the norm with NY and California on lockdown.

Until it’s not.

New Zealand has eradicated virus.

Definitely some weird stuff happening out there. I don’t do any social media, so when stuff from twitter and Instagram make it to me things have been around a while. This morning I watched video of POs destroying business fronts, looting, and dropping bricks around neighborhoods. Multiple videos. No protestors around.

Could say 2 months of mitigating efforts lowered the number of contagious people. If we’re that lucky. We won’t be. What a terrible time to have civil unrest.

Of course we will. I see a lot of mask wearers, but the interactions and failure of physical distancing will spike CV cases.

I know what you’re saying, because so far we’ve been presented with elaborate plans and a week later somebody turns that plan into toilet paper.

Normal is going to be different. Districts are currently making drastic plans to maintain social distancing: 1/2 students in the building, limiting transitions, eliminating common spaces, etc. If extracurriculars endanger the huge changes that are being made to have a modified school during the day extracurriculars won’t happen.

NFHS pushes for more non-contact sports this fall.

Can we get this on a t-shirt?

1. Non- affected? B. Adults...are we missing that schools are liable for these kids?
