Chance of Football in 2020

I wasn't around in 1918 to compare to Spanish Flu but the 5th person I know died from Covid yesterday. She was like a 2nd mom to me. Yes, she had underlying health conditions just like the other 4 and yes she was probably in the last year or two of her life. But I can't think of a single person I have known in my previous 50 years on earth who died of the flu. So maybe I am an statistical aberration but I don't see the comparison for Covid to the Flu.

Having said that- we let our 12 year old go to a church camp with her friends in Keller last month before our move to Chicago and she came back with Covid. Having lived thru it, I can tell you that her symptoms were what I would call a mild flu at worse. 3 days of fatigue and congestion and loss of taste and smell. Our greatest fears were exposing someone else and trying to figure out how to maneuver through our move from DFW to Chicago in the middle of it all. We are here now, trying to find HIC's address so I can teepee his house in the middle of the night and my wife told me to keep our tix when the athletic dept calls so it looks like we will be making some trips back to ATX this fall.

I think I was. But I can’t remember. How long ago was that?
 
Thanks for the response LH. Figured it was work related, congrats on the promo.
Sounds very familiar with your son and the Purdue acceptance. Was steamed my granddaughter wasn’t accepted then got into and graduated from engineering school at Johns Hopkins - go figure. Really glad you let you daughter go to camp and it all worked out. I know what it’s like when you say no and they have their heart set on something at that age.
 
Nash,

I knew a guy who graduated from the business school with a GPA around 3.6. He was rejected by the MBA program, got pissed off, filled out an application, and was chosen a Rhodes Scholar. Came back and got his PhD.
 
It's been an interesting afternoon for commentary on the US coronavirus outbreak. Novartis CEO Vas Narasimhan said during an interview Thursday that while a combination of the vaccine and drugs should be able to treat the virus, it's still possible it might never go away, instead becoming a seasonal virus like the flu. "We just don't know," he said.


Ban football till 2025!!!

And then move the goalposts and ban til 2030! And then....
 
What a freaking joke..Title game for football, but none for other sports ??? Hell volleyball is much safer in relation to Covid than football. Soccer is much safer than football. Cross-country is obviously safer. Its all about $$$$$$$$$$$.
 
But volleyball, soccer, and cross country don’t pay their own way, much less all other sports costs.

Neither do any of those get on TV, much less national prime time with millions of viewers.

Yes, it is all about money.

Just making sure everyone knows there are already effective treatments for coronavirus.....You will not hear about them because they cannot be effectively monetized by the right people. If any of you are worried, DYOR through trustworthy channels and get what you need and move on with life...who cares when the have a vaccine. As I've said before if given a choice between a vaccine for covid or being directly exposed to it I would choose direct exposure.

Oh baby....If you want some juicy scoopage on Dr. Fauci and "his" work with AIDS it is out there. This is one of the things that brought him to prominence and it is all quite shady and appears at the least very questionable and immoral and at worst criminal.

Yes, I will tread lightly as I got my pee pee smacked already for going West Mall, but I recall the hysteria around AIDS in the early 80s. You'd get it from toilet seats, water fountains, shaking hands with a gay person, and on and on. I was in 6th grade or so. I was scared to death. But, everything was still open and Texas played football. Yes, he did great job with all that. So, we should definitely follow what he says along with CDC and WHO on how to conduct football and the rest of our normal lives.
 
Big 10 Comish Kevin Warren, who just told all the football players in his conference that it was unsafe for them to play college football this fall, has a son playing football for Miss St, who begin practice on Monday
