Here's a math problem for you......500 people say "A" is true. 500 people say "B" is true. Which group are the sheep?

You’re also forgetting the percent that just want to get on with their 1 life that they get and are tired of the bs bickering. It’s never 50/50 so a really stupid representation.

I gave a choice between two groups. I did not say there weren't people outside of those two groups. You don't know how this math thing works, do you?

I do, where are you getting your 50/50 from? When is it ever 50/50? You don’t know how this voting thing works, do you?

I can't recall, but did someone poll VN on the actual amount of games everyone thinks we actually get in this season?

I think I read where the quarantine can be reduced to 10 days now.

Still, lots of missed practices. Teams can practice 3 time a week I think so they may try and practice Th, Fr and SA next week so that more players are back.

Why are we playing this year again ? So stupid just come back next season after we have a vaccine. Games will have to be moved or canceled because so many players will have to sit out or quarentine for two weeks makes no sense to try and play this fall and this season will absolutely be a write off and not legitimate I don’t care what anybody says that it will. And it’s only a matter of time before a player gets seriously sick or dies or a coach does. Greed for money over lives everytime in this country sad to see.

The same reason you dont stay huddled up in your house until next fall.

It’s already being disingenuously discussed on social media by talking heads. Practically no one is talking about the most important detail, which is that it’s not 44 positive COVD players its a mixture with most being out due to contact tracing.

Of course Pat Fourty-Head is already parroting that number with no context and people are blowing up about it.

Well it is likely a precursor for the season for UT and every other school. There will be one or both teams for each game that will be adversely affected by the players out because of contact tracing. The season standings will be skewed and there may be some surprise teams with the best records. Makes for an interesting season.

We can call it the Zombie Apocalypse Championship...to win out, you have to survive all the quarantines with enough left to fight the last battle!

Sad to hear but exceptions are not the rule...do you have any proof beside anecdotal??? Not doubting just verifying

Only lab tests but will give no other info as I've already given more than I should.
It's true that these were exceptions for a variety of reasons but the point is the disease can kill healthy people. It's easy to dismiss the exceptions as being rare events but when the exception is you, your wife, your child, your parent, etc it's a different ball game.

This credible eouugh for you
Misconceptions about Flu Vaccines

What about people who get a seasonal flu vaccine and still get sick with flu symptoms?

A third reason why some people may experience flu symptoms despite getting vaccinated is that they may have been exposed to a flu virus that is very different from the viruses the vaccine is designed to protect against. The ability of a flu vaccine to protect a person depends largely on the similarity or “match” between the viruses selected to make the vaccine and those spreading and causing illness. There are many different flu viruses that spread and cause illness among people. For more information, see Influenza (Flu) Viruse

Im not discounting the impact especially if its a personal loss...but in terms of a nationwide discussion it has very little impact.....that why people need to show compassion as well as logic instead of reacting to everything on an emotional level with to basis in fact
