COVID cluster connected to Football team

[mike87]

Dear Lord we have got a bunch of 'pearl clutchers' on this site.

[AppinVA]

You know what carries a greater risk for these football players???


Playing football.

My son just texted one of the players and this latest “cluster” is a complete fabrication. Said Zac, Noah and other seniors are blowing up Twitter about this. I am so sick of this hysteria over this virus. Age 0 to 44 are just as likely to die in an auto accident as this virus so nobody should be driving because somebody is gonna die.

It’s insanity

There are easy day treatments that are widely available. The left simply does not want a cure.

Texas doctor 100% success rate with budesonide. Asian countries use simple herbal antivirals (ginger extract) (which by the way cures other lung infection very similar to covid)

Shocked to see that both of CNN's viewers are also on this site

I wasn't trying to suggest the Philippines is better than the U.S.A. I was just trying to point out those people showing up to state capitals with ARs (Which in itself makes no sense) have no idea what it's like for others around the world. Getting upset because you can't get a hair cut when you want or have to do curbside or doordash when you'd rather dine-in is pretty silly and petty. At no point did I feel my rights were taken away, but many people wanted to play that angle. Which was complete b.s.

Question-what level of accountability should be leveled on the newly arriving college students who are going to bars, throwing parties, etc without taking proper precautions? Is that not in the same level as others who are refusing to do so? Or is this still someone else’s fault?

Huh? Not sure I understand what you're asking me. Do I blame anyone that doesn't follow guidelines? Absolutely.

Without turning this into a political argument that will get sent to the open thread... we'd be in a much better place had we as a nation taken this virus more serious earlier in the year. People insisted on not believing it was real, refuse to wear masks, refuse to socially distance, etc. There were people who went to their respective state capitals with AR-15s claiming having to wear a mask and stores being closed was taking their rights away. My sister and her family live in the Philippines, where if you don't abide by the COVID rules (wearing a mask, abiding by curfew), you're thrown in prison, or in a few cases killed. Her husband works for Cargill which placed them over there...she has now bought a townhouse in the USA and plans to bring the kids back stateside. My point is, people who want to be defiant have no idea. I'm not suggesting our country should have completely shut down for two months, but people should have been more abiding by the rules and suggested precautions months ago.

All it would take is for one player on the team to die, and who will have to take the blame? The fans and players that wanted to continue or the universities who did nothing? Do what just write it off as a cost to giving his all for Appalachian State? I'd assume regardless of your position on this issue you understand how liability works.

Hopefully people will take COVID-19 as a lesson. In many Asian countries even before Covid people wore masks even when they had non life threatening illnesses. Time to have respect for others and not just be selfish because the mask feels uncomfortable.

Lastly, MLS, NBA, NHL all created bubbles which have proven to be effective. That's not a realistic possibility for college football.

Where is the not turning it into a political discussion part?

It’s clear that you guys have the path to effective treatment and even a cure to COVID-19. Get your factories spun up and let’s make some profit already!

Blaming a population of people that decide to not follow guidelines or think it's not a big deal is not political. I know people from all sides of the political spectrum that are guilty of giving zero f's. It's not my fault if you and others want to turn it into a political debate or take it that way. I didn't blame any politician or political party.

Killed for not wearing a mask, or for violating curfew? Killed? Like by the government?

"The left simply does not want a cure."

This is probably the stupidest political statement that can be made!!!

Were it not for politics we would be in much better shape on this virus thing. Look at the results in other countries. We are the most stubborn, hard headed people on the planet.

[ah59396]

I hope everyone stays safe.
I hope the players are healthy.
And I hope we play football this fall.

In that order.

The rest of this thread is just stupidity.

[NO.2]

They need to give every player and student HCQ now



Proof.

Fake and misleading....

I don't know man, it was Censored By Facebook, so it must be true.

Not exactly sure who did the killing. All my sister told me was that someone was killed for defying Covid measures. She said it was advertised to people to show they mean business. I don't think she'd lie about it, but my post was off of what she told me.

Yeah I’m gonna need a reputable source on this and not some hearsay from someone’s sisters friend.

Looks like it’s a thing, and it’s not surprising if you know anything about the president of the Philippines. Duterte has a terrible record on human rights.

So, how much practice can we miss, maybe on and off this season, and still try to play good ball? Particularly if some teams aren’t missing any due to no outbreak or no reported outbreak.

Holy crap! I can see why she’s coming home with the youngins. I’ll take what we have here, versus that.

Today, it’s masks and such. Tomorrow it’s some other violation deemed worthy by the state (insert your social cause here).

It’s a total crapshoot.

I think “good ball” is probably out the window for us and honestly everyone.

This season will be like a game of survivor.
