Single A west 113 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) State senate voting now and will send letter urging vhsl to play football this fall. Survival rate for ages 0-19 99.997%. I think there are 36 health districts in Virginia. If I’m not mistaken I thought dr. Shelton stayed only one COVID case from August 13th to September 24th in all mt Rogers district. Roughly 18-19,000 students in district. Very hard to hear at Galax school board meeting. Edited October 10, 2020 by Single A west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerman10 222 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Well if Mt. Rogers district includes Russell and Tazewell Co then you got some bad info because there have been more cases than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Sasquatch 1,865 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Doesn't matter what the VHSL does. They can have all the plans in the world to play tomorrow, but as long as Virginia is in phase 3, there will be no sports. The Governor and State Senate will either have to move us out of phase 3 or re-phrase what is allowed in phase 3. Seems like political posturing to me The VHSL has its hands tied.

Roughly 18-19,000 students in district. Not trying to poke holes but your numbers aren't accurate for the Mount Rogers Health District. Grayson County and Carroll County have had numerous positive cases among faculty, staff as well as students since the beginning of school. Galax City Public Schools had a public meeting last Thursday to walk parents through the in-person school process. Galax has been "virtual only" since school began September 8th. They will begin in-person classes October 7th. I bring that up to provide documented proof of my statements. Dr. Karen Shelton (Mount Rogers Health District Director) addressed the crowd on behalf of the Galax City Public Schools both in-person and through Facebook Live (in which my wife and I watched). During her speech, she confirmed the cases in Carroll and Grayson as totaling 18 school students since August 13. That's 18 not counting faculty and staff of each respective school district. That information can be found in the linked Galax Gazette article. https://www.galaxgazette.com/content/galax-begin-person-classes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBob 223 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Its ridiculous, they need to get these kids on the field and let them play. Its not like "not letting them play" is 100% effective either. Kids are going to get together and do. I've read we are one of 10-14 states that are not playing football right now! It's a bad deal, I get that but if we went back to horse and buggy days there would be a lot less deaths on the roadways,.....at what point do we say we need to move on with life and understand the risk.

I feel as if they will get to play. The other states have faired well for the most part. The political climate at the time will determine if the Governor allows it The ball is entirely in his court. If there is a lot of backlash from his base, the kids will play. I may be totally wrong, but that seems to be the trend in other states. Folks standing outside of the VHSL headquarters rallying need to go to the Governor's mansion. The VHSL has plans in place. Those plans mean nothing unless the Governor gives the green light.

Tigerman10 222 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Chuckey Doak cancelling two games due to Covid Seems like its six in one hand and half a dozen in the other as far as playing in the spring, but VHSL really needs to extend the seasons because compressing them only puts more games at risk with the seemingly inevitable outbreaks Real Sasquatch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
