Chance of Football in 2020

Shouldn't "children" cut off at 18? Rhetorical. I know you didn't create the data.

college age

Yeah I figured that except I get tired of the whole "kids" for grown adults in college. But, any who...seems another way to skew the numbers.

 

[AC]

I say 80%!



If not I’ll ride a tricycle with raw T-Bones drug behind it past a trailer park in OK! KA did that in 87’ to a pledge. Cept in Austin.

This was a funny thread about whether or not we play football this year. Now were talkin Covid, Covid?

Hey you and I had the Covid so we can say whatever the hell we want lol.

 

[theiioftx]

Bump. I’m serious.

Who chipped in one time?

 

[Joe Fan]

This thread getting moved to the politics board is a microcosm of how so many Americans manage to stay uniformed. People would just simply prefer to avoid facts that dont fit their pre-determined narratives. CNN viewers. for example.

Always reminds me of the cave allegory

‘You’re welcome!!’: Trump takes credit for Pac-12 football revival

We have already been told this is not his job, and he only does this to improve his image.

I wonder how much pressure came from coaches?
The non-playing was not helping recruiting.

I think they figured Trump is going to win and their stunt wasn’t going to work.

"Confirmed or suspected covid cases..."

WTF?? We all know the numbers were total BS but actually printing that they are adding in "suspected cases" to increase the total is mind boggling. How does anyone read that and still believe this load of horse hooey?

 

[Joe Fan]

Lockdown worth it, given the risks?

 

[horninchicago]

Lockdown worth it, given the risks?

Totally!

 

[mchammer]

Lockdown worth it, given the risks?

The math is wrong. Off by 100x. For example, 70+ years is 5.4% or 0.054. Basically if talking about the ratio, then remove the “%” from the numbers in the table.

 

[mchammer]

Cases in Sept-Nov will skew younger as in K-12 and college students. The impact on hospitals won’t be detectable.

Bump

 

[mchammer]

From the folks who can’t read a graph:

The 11 Big Ten Presidents and Chancellors Who Killed Fall Football Too Soon

Check out the link. By the time B10 and P10 starts football, they could test every fan attending a game:

Check out the next 3 graphs. Does anyone believe stadiums at 25% every 2 weeks will be noticeable? Also note how FL is following AZ and Texas is following FL.

Bump

 

[mchammer]

This shows you that B10 and PAC12 wanted to shutdown sports regardless of protocol.

I thought of one more thing. They are going to look stupid if the antibody therapy is approved by Oct 1. This could be a game changer. Check out Lilly’s phase 3 testing:

Clinical trials of monoclonal antibodies to prevent COVID-19 now enrolling

We don’t have approved monoclonal antibody treatment yet (hopefully soon), but we will apparently have a lot of testing by mid-October when the B10 games start.

 

[horninchicago]

All this over a severely not deadly virus. Amazing.

 

[nashhorn]

Have to say if that test is specific it is a whooooole lot more comfortable than the current swab. I swear on two of mine I thought my nose would never recover. But it did.

And there it is:

Regeneron's antibody cocktail for coronavirus: Early data shows promising results - CNN

 

[mchammer]

Says doses are being manufactured in advance of approval.

Roche, Regeneron join forces to more than triple manufacturing of COVID-19 antibody cocktail

 

[mchammer]

In early July, Regeneron and the Trump administration signed a $450 million pact for U.S. supply of the cocktail. As part of the deal, Regeneron agreed to ramp up manufacturing to 1.6 million doses of the therapy as early as the end of summer.

The drugmaker said the order covered anywhere between 70,000 to 300,000 treatment doses and 420,000 to 1.3 million preventive doses. Regeneron agreed to provide bulk and unfinished lots of the cocktail as well as finished doses through 2020.

 

[nashhorn]

Not true, can't be true. Biden says Trump is doing nothing.

 

[mchammer]

This is what Trump is taking for covid (see tweet). It includes antibody treatment. It’s possible Trump is cleared of the virus in 5-7 days. Once approved, this can be given to every football player with a positive test. I have mentioned this repeatedly since May or June. Hopefully it gets approved by FDA in October.

 

[mchammer]

Boom! There it is. Lilly asking for FDA approval for their antibody treatment. Regeneron will be doing same shortly. Should reduce deaths 80-90%

So, I'm going back to the original topic here. What are the chances Texas will actually play football this year?

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

If they are on campus or near campus (as they should), then that is the safest place for them to be in terms of being isolated from older folks.

Except for old leftist professor types. And I have no problems with them being exposed.
