If 1 kid gets covid the whole team will get it. Maybe we can all buy the schools some deep sea diving equipment because that's what it's gonna take kids getting it means what? asymptomatic better chance of getting hit by lightening. no evidence kids pass it to adults so what are we doing here. its less deadly than the flu to kids.

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'll never take scientific advice from someone who misspelled lightning. This is a very good article about the challenges and potential ways to reopen schools across the globe: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/school-openings-across-globe-suggest-ways-keep-coronavirus-bay-despite-outbreaks Bigrhsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 And as Ryan said, it's not just about how it affects kids, it's about all the other people working at a school plus the risks of bringing the virus home to compromised people. At primary school age it seems the kids rarely transmit the virus but at the high school age, it's much more common.

I’m just glad King Ralphie & DOE are leaving it up to local school boards how to reopen. It wouldn’t make sense for Tazewell County to reopen the way Fairfax might need to, most of rural VA has faired much better than urban areas. I read Grayson County is going 4 days. I’m not sure which other counties have released reopening plans. I know Tazewell is supposed to maybe next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving it up to the counties is the smartest thing to do IF, and it's a big IF, if the counties are actually gonna take it seriously and not be afraid to require masks or other requirements because it's a conservative area and the area feels like the masks are political or whatever dumb stuff people say. Wearing a mask and trying (in a reasonable manner) to keep people safe shouldn't be a political statement either way, just wear the damn thing FFS. Who does it hurt? I dont expect kids under 10 to have the ability to keep a mask on all day, but every teacher and every high school student should wear them.

Ryan4VT 4,552 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 What will be interesting is if football is moved to the spring -- what changes we would see for the 2020 season and the 2021 season. You cant ask 14-18 year old kids to play 30 games in a calendar year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely they wouldn't play 30 as a season this year will probably top out at 12 if they go to the spring and most only 8, but if it wraps up in March, you dont think kids could play again by August? That shouldn't be an issue. Real Sasquatch, SpillBoss and Deleted Account 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either play football on Friday and then travel to a baseball or basketball tournament on Saturday and Sunday. I would much rather my kids be busy practicing and competing in sports than sitting around the house or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,552 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 It’s just not a smart move, IMO, to have two full seasons in a 10 months span. You’re talking a month of practice in Feb. then a season that runs March to end of June or early July. Then turning right around and staring practice again for a season that would start in August and run into December. That’s a lot of wear and tear on a kid. Basketball and baseball aren’t high contact like football. We’ve seen how beat and banged up these kids are after a season. I can’t imagine them being healthily and ready to go for a second season a few months later. I think it would end up being two 7 game seasons or something like that to give a bigger buffer over the summer for them to get healthy and take a break.

Gridiron60 2,554 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just sharing articles, I tend to read most to find information not just listen to news. American Academy of Pediatrics article on school reopening. https://www.gpbnews.org/post/children-less-likely-get-transmit-coronavirus-georgia-doctor-says https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/school-openings-across-globe-suggest-ways-keep-coronavirus-bay-despite-outbreaks I’m not arguing with anyone but I think schools can be open in most of SWVA for in person learning with measures in place to curtail the spread of COVID. Some counties have had very few cases. School is doable if people in charge are smart in their reopening guidelines. Liam McPoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If football is moved to the spring you wont have a traditional season anyway was part of my point. It wont run to June. It will be finished in late March most likely. cityofRaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only missed 2 Union games since consolidation so I'm gonna try to adopt one of the players lol.

It would be nice to stream the games. and charge a fee, so the schools can at least recover some of the gate money. We could still be in the boat if they postpone until spring.
