How many police will be required to enforce the social distancing? Violaters would be warned/removed/tasered/shot?

Would everyone be issued a 6' doughnut to wear like this dude?

If all the matters is flattening the curve I don’t understand why playing football games even without fans would cause a spike in the curve? Healthy 20 year olds who get it basically have zero chance they’ll even know that have it let alone end up in the hospital.

Healthy 20 year olds give it to People who fought for this country,who helped build this country, who probably pay for most the tickets of the 20 year olds.

I'm watching a 'live' Bundesliga game with no one in the stands but a few security and team employees. very odd to hear the echoes when instructions are called out to the players.

Interestingly, it seems that without the fans there to ramp up the emotions that there are fewer fouls and less arguing. Is this our future?

Seating is the easy part. Distancing while getting in and out and around the concessions is what would be difficult

Yeah, someone may dart in your face while walking to concession stand with you sitting and give you the virus by fart. Very explosive.

For the same reason keeping criminals locked up would promote the spread of the virus.

If I’m at risk and holed up inside I’d at least like to have some college football to watch. The alternative option for them is to be holed up with nothing to watch.

This is from 1-2 choir practices, about 2-2.5 hours each. It seems to me like this might be pretty comparable to attending a football game.

I’d love to see packed stadiums this fall but I don’t expect it. I’ll just be happy if we have ball games to watch on TV again.

Just playing a little devil's advocate here (it's Saturday night and I'm seriously bored so it's either this or a bottle of 18 year old Scotch):

So let's say they start to play the season and you have a cluster of transmittal take place from a team or even a game. (If you've ever played football you know there's a lot of spit, sweat and blood flying around.)

Now if you've ever been part of a committed unit you know that the players want to be out there with their teammates and they're going to sign whatever waivers it takes to play, BUT let's say a couple of players get really sick (despite people who want to claim healthy 20 year old guys have nothing to worry about, there are some cases of severe reaction by healthy young people to the virus).

Now the really high end plaintiff's lawyers (trust me, you don't ever remotely understand the skill set of those guys until you actually see one in the courtroom) get involved with the argument that the kids were pressured into playing and were scared they would be kicked off the team and/or lose their scholarships if they didn't play. The collateral argument being that any liability waivers the players signed were coerced by fear of retaliation and, as a result, are invalid.

Or better yet, an Alabama player gets it after the Tennessee game and it's determined that a Tennessee player was the initial carrier. Alabama player sues UT in a Tuscaloosa court with a Tuscaloosa jury (Alabama has notoriously favorable rules for plaintiff's litigation).

Very interesting liability risk for the universities.

Same reason the Chamber of Commerce is trying to get waiver of liability legislation through Congress right now with respect to both a business's employees and its customers.

I would say there are "hold harmless" agreements in place between the 2 schools. Otherwise when a star player gets injured there would be lawsuits all over the place.

Just open up dadgum it, in Georgia and Texas where they opened quickly the virus numbers are down. They are down 12% in Georgia from the time they started re-opening. !

The numbers in Alabama are up since they started re-opening. I would like to see better data. The data I've seen makes it hard to draw any conclusions. Are we better off with a herd immunity approach or social distancing? Are the "experts" (Fouche, Gottlieb, et. al.) maintaining their positions because they would lose their credibility if the data shows they have been very wrong all along? Are we going to be more susceptible to other illness due to quarantining (weakened immune systems)? Will warm weather take care of the virus? When will we have reliable testing available to all?

Better hope there's no lightning nearby! I don't remember which game it was, but cramming everyone into the concourses last year was INSANE. I about had to get the heck out of there.

Stack'em 3 deep in each seat. There are no viruses. There is no disease. All science is a hoax, and all conspiracy theories are true (except that there is no such thing as truth) -

interesting take but you're only going to do a hold harmless to a limited extent, i.e. you don't indemnify someone for their gross negligence or willful misconduct and you know that the plaintiff's lawyer is going to allege gross negligence so I think a hold harmless is going to be of limited use.

Once the genie is out of the bottle and the virus is out there in nature, other than vaccines or outright cures, no one is safe from the virus even those in their homes. The only real solution going forward is doing the best one can with hygiene and distancing, taking extra precautions for those with high risk health matters, and moving toward herd immunity. The idea we shelter in place is killing people with heart attacks & strokes who fear catching the virus at hospitals which is being under reported not to mention those whose doctors have shutdown routine examinations and procedures like digging skin cancers out of bodies. Having been a victim of melanoma that was caught relatively early I know whereof I speak. My skin doctor's appointments for followups keep being slid by months and his offices closed since mid March. I'm lucky as mine was already treated and I'm in the visit and followup stage every 6 months. But what about the grandmas and grandpas who were diagnosed on March 8 and have yet to get treatment? That's just one tiny healthcare area where lives are at risk by sheltering in place but there's a myriad of others and for a virus that only harms 1% who contract it??? GMAFB

If doctors and nurses wear masks when working with the sick people regardless of what kinda sickness they got, I'd hope people ain't stupid enough to think they have special Chinese virus masks but then again people think the media didn't turn this into a pandemic also lol, then we can sit and watch the game at the stadium.

I could see a scenario in which a face mask would be distributed to everyone entering, in addition to a temperature being taken. I personally don't think they will "social distance" the fans, could be wrong, JMO. I bet covid won't be a big deal once November 3rd has came and gone.....watch and see.
