For insiders on the board, or someone who may know an insider.....

Everything government has done at every level has been useless, and often harmful.

On Maslow’s Hierarchy winning football is not as much as a priority as health and safety. Hopefully, considerations are being made approximately.

Oh I disagree sir. Esteem (thumping your SEC rival) and Self-actualization (winning the SEC or Natty) rank higher than mere Safety on Maslow's scale. And in the SEC South, what is a priority if not winning football? GBO!

Why don't they just practice in Blount County (Home of Champions)?

Brilliant! And Maryville College's stadium will hold the 20K season ticket holders that get to attend....with no social distancing required.

They won’t die from it short term but it may have long term affects. Some players have reported weight loss and loss of endurance and lung capacity due to Covid complications.

You are trying to discuss long term effects for a virus that's under a year old. The vast majority of young people are unaffected

It is far beyond "the vast majority" that are unaffected - so far in TOTAL there have been 394 deaths of Americans 0-24 years old who had COVID-19 when they died. COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics and 49 of those had "Intentional and unintentional injury, poisoning and other adverse events" as comorbidity. When you look at actual death from COVID its maybe 100-150 in the whole country.

True health is ones ability to heal. Note the first four letters of the word health. Health isn’t defined by one catching or not catching the flu.

The deaths ages 0-24 during the first three months of this flu outbreak for car accidents and suicide were triple the rate of “Covid” deaths. Great post.

Did someone say insiders?

Those people don't show up until the coach is fired. Please don't invite them now.

Anybody know if Covid cases are trending up or down at UT? If it's trending down I will feel hopeful with this contact tracing garbage.

No, but 40 years ago I did take an intro to psych course. Oh, and stayed at a holiday inn.

Good enough. When can i get a therapy session from you?

THANK YOU!! Long term effects are a hand wringers dream, they get to hide under the bed, for what they want you to believe are sound reasons that in actuality are vaporware. Progress forward in life boldly not hiding unfder your beds kids else you'll turn into a snowflake!!

 

[jarhead]

Probably doesn't help that each time someone dies it's labeled as a covid-related death. Hit by a car...Covid. Fell out of a twelve-story window...Covid. Ate by a great white while surfing...Covid. And on it goes ad nauseam.

If it's not Express, it doesn't count.

In addition, most deaths in that age
demographic have had significant underlying comorbidities/chronic illnesses. In Tennessee, to my knowledge, there has been exactly ONE child that has succombed to CV19 that did not have serious health problems before acquiring the infection.
