Realistically, do you believe there will be a 2020 season?

[Fatdad32]

Yes we will and it will start on time.

 

[Boogievol]

I think we get a wave of infection after things are reopened that is worse than anything we have seen so far that will effectively end college and professional football for the year.

 

[Brysonythevolfan]

With how it’s blowing over we definitely will be having the season probably with fans there too

I've tried to help the folks on this board understand more about this virus with some very real, reliable information from the UPTODATE site.
The MDs running that site will continue to review the PEER-REVIEWED information and post responsible updates for the CLINICIANS they actually serve.

Even Dr. Fauci said last night--IF you had any true discernment--that their PROJECTIONS are nothing more than BEST GUESSES from the data that they currently possess.
He did go on to say the DATA is rapidly CHANGING each day as we learn more about this virus.
IN other words---even DR. FAUCI and Dr. BIRX are leaving themselves an "OUT" if and when their projections prove to be falsely elevated!

The ARTICLE that I posted from uptodate.com is PEER REVIEWED.....
EVERYTHING in that article is the summation of the work of SEVERAL DOCTORS who list their sources for over 20 pages of information provided.
I just listed a FEW excerpts from the article---did you even bother to read it its entirety?

UPTODATE is one of THE MOST RESPECTED online journals of medical information out there.
Therefore, everything in that article is the SUMMATION of PEER-REVIEWED information provided by untold numbers of DOCTORS.
IE, everything in there is a quotation from MDs.

I worked for the Tenn. Dept. of Health for 4+ years....and far be it from me to burst your bubble of ignorance....but most of those folks are far left-wing democrats.
And those health officials DO and WILL exaggerate and sensationalize information in order to instill what they consider to be a "healthy fear" in the masses to get them to COMPLY with their demands.
That's called "erring on the conservative side....showing them the worst-case scenario and willingly accepting lower numbers later" IN ORDER TO PROTECT the people from themselves.

Nevertheless, the OVERWHELMING TRUTH from the data in the article is that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans exposed to the virus will overcome it and LIVE.
Another OVERWHELMING TRUTH from the data is that older Americans with diabetes, asthma, cancer, and cardiac conditions need to keep their butts at home and isolated from the masses.
Also--as hard as it may be---family members need to STAY AWAY from the hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, etc...etc... places in order to PROTECT their loved ones.

There's a LEGIT reason for why Governor Lee refuses to issue a SHELTER IN PLACE executive order.
And notice that the FAR LEFT liberals within the TMA keep trying to circumvent his decision by appealing to the Mayors in every town in this great state.

You dont understand the disease yet bc the doctors don't. And your 4 years at a health dept, doesn't lend to any credibility. Hell you could be a janitor. I dont know you and there is no way for you to prove anything. My point, no one knows this disease. If you're asymptomatic and have it, then you could kill you're own mom or dad. You want that boss. Pretty easy thing for you to say elderly stay home. But if your mom is in nursing home, you go to visit and be the cause 70 people die. Try sleeping after that. Also, your view is Maga. Let the old folks try to survive bc they are gonna die anyways. Totally a trump thing. Just look at medicare. One day you will be older too, hope you feel the same way.

Please, quit with your self righteous crap. Just stop. We are defeating the hell out of this virus! That doesn't meant we don't care about lives lost, but quit with the fearmongering and talking down on folks that don't agree with you on everything. GOD BLESS and GBO!

We lost between 4000 to 8000 (historians still cannot agree) dead on the single D-Day in June of 1944. Extrapolate that out from mid March and the nation found a way not to hide under their beds in fear and self pity. I'm with you, tired of the snowflakes trying to convince everyone how bad this is historically. Get a grip folks.

Planning on having a Full Football Season.

 

[TNnative]

Uh, are we supposed to care what you watch? Because, I'm not feeling it.

Right now? With them shut down? I can see that. And honestly? That game is so different from any other that it took me a few years to understand the rules. But once I did and started following it closely? It became worth setting my alarm clock to wake me to watch live. If you still feel college football with the current rules? Have at it. I just found something better to be passionate about. Even if it is on the other side of the globe and equator.

Depends on if this thing has a hard resurgence. Until a vaccine is available? If the season happens, the teams might play in locked stadiums while fans stay home. After the players, refs, coaches, and the media are all tested. And students go around dressed like this:

It’s been admitted that those numbers are being padded, anyone who dies with Covid is counted in that figure whether Covid is actually the cause of death or not. Also presumed deaths from Covid are included too, my state actually had to lower the number of deaths in the state be several hundred when it was determined that they didn’t actually have Covid.

In my personal opinion, this thing is way over blown. If the studies are right and the fatality rate is closer to. 2% then the shutdown of the economy is going to be a worse long term consequence. Just my opinion though

 

[Nerwen Aldarion]

In my personal opinion, this thing is way over blown. If the studies are right and the fatality rate is closer to. 2% then the shutdown of the economy is going to be a worse long term consequence. Just my opinion though

Exactly, several studies from different states have shown that anywhere from 6% to 30% of the population have antibodies despite not having symptoms, it suggests the fatality rate is less than a percentage. Meaning that just like the Flu it’s really only deadly for the elderly and immune compromised
Also it’s estimated up to 70,000 died from the flu alone thus season. So...yeah. It’s not being stupid to question if there was a massive overreaction.

At this point in the pandemic, there is not enough evidence about the effectiveness of antibody-mediated immunity to guarantee the accuracy of an “immunity passport” or “risk-free certificate.” People who assume that they are immune to a second infection because they have received a positive test result may ignore public health advice. The use of such certificates may therefore increase the risks of continued transmission. As new evidence becomes available, WHO will update this scientific brief.

If you take a few minutes from trying to inhale bleach, drink Chloroquine, and fit UV bulbs into your mouth, and read the actual statement, you'll see that the studies consulted in the document are not just "Chinese".

They've never successfully created a vaccine for any coronavirus according to a story I read somewhere. Of course there's a lot of disinformation being spread and I'm not an expert so who knows? I know I won't be taking any vaccine if they do make one. Never needed them for flu season and won't need this one either. I'll take my chances but I am ready to get back to work. They need to open the country up and get back to business. Those who want to self isolate are free to do so.

 

[onevol74]

I would have said yes, but since we committed a 5 star today with our luck they will cancel.

You do realize that the reason flu season isn't as bad as it could be, is because your fellow humans are taking the flu shot, and giving you the blanket of herd immunity, right?

 

[CR-vol]

You do resloze that the reason flu season isn't as bad as it could be, is because your fellow humans are taking the flu shot, and giving you the blanket of herd immunity, right?

That's your opinion. I don't get sick. I take care of the little things. If you want to take a vaccine that's your business. I don't fault you for it. Don't understand why you think it's your business to be concerned that I choose not to? If you're taking it you should be fine since I'm the one taking the risk here, right? So just mind your own business because you're not going to shame me or change my mind.

You seem to be struggling with the concept of what an "opinion" is, and what constitutes scientific fact.

You see, I'm of the opinion that you are most likely very ignorant when it comes to many matters of science, and that you are in your actions, a very selfish person. That's an opinion.

A scientific fact is that the flu vaccine is a large component of our herd immunity, a fact that is based on thousands of hours of research, unlike my opinion which is based off of the significant level of hubris and ignorance that you displayed in your post.

You seem to think your opinion is more important than anyone else's. I dont have time time for junk science websites that support your opinion. You and the rest of the herd that feel like you need a vaccine are free to get one just like I'm free not to. I don't catch colds so I don't really see the need. You're protected from people like me because you get the vaccine so quit being a busy body concerning yourself with someone else's business.

I think a major factor will be if they allow students back on campus for the fall semester. If they do, I think we will have a season. If they do not allow students back on campus, I think it's unlikely.

Lol....junk science?

Wait, are you a real life "anti-vaxxer'? Probably shouldn't post your ignorance on a message board if you don't want other people to know about it.
