I think we will have football, but without fans or very limited amount of fans.What no one talks about much is all the moving parts in determining whether there will be college football in 2020 and when. For example, what happens if college football higher ups decide to play football allowing fans to attend and a governor of a state still has a ban on large gatherings? I can see this happening in several states, for example New York or California. Another real possibility is requiring everyone to wear masks that attends. What a mess that would be. People would take them off to cheer and other fans would complain.

Why do I need a vaccine if I can simply get tested and take something 95% effective as soon as I get it?
There's much closer contact for a much longer time for fans, staff and athletes in professional bike racing than any major US sport.Well, I did say "major sporting events." (I realize the Tour de France is a big thing there, but still.) The differences between bicycling and football, both from a participant and spectator perspective, are obvious and enormous.
Also, a lot of events are being "postponed" for now, but will very likely end up being cancelled. No one wants to make the decision to cancel events and sports seasons until they absolutely have to. I am reading reports that several major universities are making contingency plans to have no classes this fall. I don't mean everything shifts online. I mean "closed down." I don't see how college athletics goes forward until there are some medical breakthroughs.
As I said, I would badly love to see sports return.
And I think this is what led to the measures that are being taken. Imo long before a lot of this information has started coming to light I believe our government knew info like that and did not release. But since it is generically engineered nobody knows how it will react. My biggest fear is some of the discussions that I've seen in this thread. Being in a rush to reopen the country. Yes it sucks I'm one of the many unemployed because of this virus. But until we have a vaccine or a 95% measure of testing that will identify the virus day 1 of contracting it we are not safe. All it takes is 1 and we are back in this same situation.
A temperature check at gates would also be very helpful.Well one way to be safe is everyone wear an N95 or P95/ R95 (I even bought an N99 last year for work) Masks will all bet prevent any spread. SO we could have games even with less than 100% eradication if Masks were mandatory. And NOT home made or plain surgical! I see that NOW after I was advocating wearing masks for two months that Everyone is on board. The cdc-----"Masks will not help you". 3/2/20. Total asinine BS.
Because you're treating the symptoms of the virus and not the virus itself. So just like the flu we would have Covid 19 season every year, and then eventually it would mutate like any other virus and then what happens when this virus has mutated. It can kill thousands in its weakest form what do we do when it has become resistant to the 3 drug cocktail that will cure they symptoms of it. Until there is a way to keep the virus from sticking human cells and infecting them there is a chance it can mutate and become much stronger than it already is
On the - side, it appears that a number of the "flu" deaths in early December were actually COVID-19 according to studis carried out on the West Coast. Blood in the blood banks which have not been used because of the reduced number of elective surgeries,were tested and found to have COVID-19 antibodies. It is interesting that the outbreaks on the West Coast seam to have come from China and the outbreaks on the East Coast cane from Europe. As many know, the rush to get U S citizens home from Europe were not screened fro symptoms when they arrived back in the States. It is likely this is how the East Coast was infected.
There won’t be a college football season and might never be a vaccine for this
Maybe so, but the virus came from a lab in Wuhan. Why the Chinese created it is still up for debate. But, I believe it was created to completely destroy their enemies and humans were accidentally exposed to it.
There is No scientific evidence that the virus was created anywhere but in mammals, the same as SARS and EBOLA. I can not believe that people are so uneducated to believe all this conspiracy crap. I worked at CDC for 35 years and keep informed about what is going on. There are three strains of the COVID-19, A, B, and C. The evidence indicateds that these strains originated at different places and the strains on the West Coast and East Coast are different. Little is still known about the virus because it is a novel virus. As we learn more about the epidemiology, we will know how to treat it and if and how a vaccine can be developed. Please study a little bit before you spread false information. Thank you.
Well, not everyone is on board. Dear Leader ain't wearing one.Well one way to be safe is everyone wear an N95 or P95/ R95 (I even bought an N99 last year for work) Masks will all but prevent any spread.

HERE YOU GO!
Professor Luc Montagnier, 2008 Nobel Prize winner for Medicine, claims that SARS-CoV-2 is a manipulated virus that was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. Chinese researchers are said to have used coronaviruses in their work to develop an AIDS vaccine. HIV DNA fragments are believed to have been found in the SARS-CoV-2 genome.
We knew that the Chinese version of how the coronavirus emerged was increasingly under attack, but here’s a thesis that tells a completely different story about the Covid-19 pandemic, which is already responsible for more than 110,000 deaths worldwide.
According to Professor Luc Montagnier, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2008 for “discovering” HIV as the cause of the AIDS epidemic together with Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, the SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that was manipulated and accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, in the last quarter of 2019.
According to Professor Montagnier, this laboratory, known for its work on coronaviruses, tried to use one of these viruses as a vector for HIV in the search for an AIDS vaccine!
“With my colleague, bio-mathematician Jean-Claude Perez, we carefully analyzed the description of the genome of this RNA virus,” explains Luc Montagnier, interviewed by Dr Jean-François Lemoine for the daily podcast at Pourquoi Docteur, adding that others have already explored this avenue:
Indian researchers have already tried to publish the results of the analyses that showed that this coronavirus genome contained sequences of another virus, … the HIV virus (AIDS virus), but they were forced to withdraw their findings as the pressure from the mainstream was too great.
