It's a cluster fuq and no sports season will be completed.
Iowa started its HS baseball and softball season. Multiple area schools "suspended" their season after players tested positive. Some are now restarting their seasons after 14-days.
In baseball and softball, players are mostly socially distanced. This is in contrast with football, and wrestling.
However, in baseball and softball, players and staff are sitting in the same dugout, which they don't have to do. They could maintain more distance. We live one-block from the HS softball park. When I hear the school bus start, it makes me cringe. I noticed one school brought two school buses.
I am concerned how this will spread when the kids return to school. I am not seeing much on efforts to contain the spread at school.
Over the past week, Iowa is trending upward on a rising curve, but Iowa is not trending as sharply upward as Texas, Florida, and Arizona. The prior week it was slightly downward. It probably takes two weeks to determine if there is a trend. Unlike Europe, Iowa has not mashed down the curve.
Coming back to football, it seems schools will wait until the last possible moment to decide. We were going to start in the Fall, but I see there is some sentiment building over waiting until spring. If a vaccine that could be distributed by February were expected, the Spring argument would make sense.
If the early vaccines are only 50% effective, and only 50% get the vaccine, there will still be considerable spread.
