You do know that while the risk is low if this delusional thing played out and you exposed every D1 player, even at their age there would be a few deaths. And you’d be ok with that?

When you apply the rate of x% based on their age you have to realize that’s not x% of super athletes.

If you exposed an entire team to the flu, it’s highly unlikely you’d have any deaths.

“we should avoid large groups” or those at risk should? Once again, these players are not at risk. And once they get it, in 2 weeks, they can’t spread it any more.

We should expose every D1 team intentionally.

We also don't know that you "can't spread it anymore" 2 weeks after having it

I would absolutely love to watch you guys to go spew your ignorance at the nursing and support staffs at our hospitals. Part of the reason so many are allowed to be aloof to this disease and its suffering is those dying are isolated and have no one outside sharing the pain directly. The victims die alone because the virus is so dangerous.

I am thankful so many of you have been spared the pain of this disease. But my family and I have been tragically familiarized with it and when you feel its killing touch, it hurts. It also hurts to read so many have internalized lies to make themselves feel safe going about their business.
By all means, go about your life, conduct business, go work, but do not be an ignorant victim of this silent killer. Protect yourself and those you love, and also those you don't know. It is what Jesus would do, why aren't you?

Were you making absurd emotional pleas like this during flu season?

That is much more common than you think. I have been teaching in public schools for 15 years. I usually average 100 students per year in middle school; high school about 200 students per year. I figure I have taught roughly 1800 students in those 15 years. I would estimate that 60-70% of those students were obsessed with social media (Instagram, Vine, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), well over 90% were obsessed with their phones, I cannot tell you how many parent/teacher conferences I have been involved with were attended by grandparents, and meetings where students openly degraded their parents/guardians. It has gotten progressively worse the last five years or so. Schools are now responsible for providing meals for students to take home on the weekends and during the Summer. Corporal punishment has to be approved by the parent, assuming the school district allows it at all. I can’t tell you how many times I have been cussed out by another student and parents. Coaching provides its own set of headaches, many parents are unbearable over playing time and have to be escorted from games regularly. Many of you are naive as to what happens in schools on a regular basis

I’m not naive about it at all. But to act like all schools and students and parents are the same is ridiculous. Some schools and teachers are great. Some are not, same as parents

This is all media hype. It will all be over after the election. Players get the virus, get well and play. Numerous examples are in MLB. Freddie Freeman had it 3 weeks ago. Yesterday he went 4 for 4 with a HR. The players getting it now will be really sick for a day or 2, but will be playing in a week or two. Just like the flu. They get it--get well--- and probably become immune so they can't pass it on or get it ever again. But there is no time for this now. We have an election to disrupt. We need more hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, pandemics to cover.

I dunno, Trump said it'll get worse before it gets better and wearing a mask is Patriotic

So there’s a stat for super athletes? Intentionally exposing an entire group of student athletes is batshit crazy noMatter how you spin it. Even in a miraculous scenario where only one died it would be a catastrophe. But I suppose we could send you to tell his/her parents and you could enlighten them on the facts that led you to this insane proposition.
Imagine sitting in the UT locker room with 100 syringes and telling them, “ We’re going to inject you with COVID-19... you should be ok because you’re super athletes!” The 300lb offensive lineman may have a few questions... asking with most of the other guys who are typically trying to avoid catching it😬

It will be a mess. Look at what is happening with MLB, and then add fans, students that the players may interact with regularly, and rosters that are ~triple the size of MLB rosters. Colder weather probably won't help either

I've got news for you. This will all be over within 2 weeks that students are back on campuses all over the country. That's about how long it will take for outbreaks to start happening on campuses. Like I said before, its insanity. They are trying to manage an unmanageable situation.

Flu season wasn't filling up ICUs and cutting off hundreds of thousands from dying family members...

Almost nothing in that post was applicable to the flu, seems like you just wanted to be sassy. Congrats

Right, the flu didn’t cut anyone off from dying family members. Nor did Covid. That was either government or hospital admin depending on the scenario.

The guy responded earlier claiming his students were at great risk, despite data that says this is less lethal to children than the flu. In a thread about division 1 football players who are at no serious risk and told some anecdotal story. He deserved sass

Did Europe also shut down to disrupt the American election?

The latter, the idea that you can go infect yourself and 2 weeks later you're good for life is based on a guess

It’s not. It’s based on science. After approximately 2 weeks the virus is undetectable. That’s not a guess.

"Undetectable at one particular moment" and "immune/unable to spread for the rest of your life" are two very obviously different things

Uhh? What....

If it isn’t in your system you can’t spread it..... also, they are saying antibodies last 3 months or more.... so....

WTH are you talking about? How can you spread something you don’t have.....

CDC says Division 1 athlete is probably going to get more severe symptoms than a primary school age child.
