Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Probably the same people who don't have their kids vaccinated for MMR.

My point is we could be talking about a subsection of the population that is one percent, or so, really a small minority.

There's no such thing as a "second wave" guys.  It plateaued for a bit, we opened up, and it's catching fire.  Say your goodbyes to grandma. 

Our superintendent and school board just discussed our plan for this coming school year.  What's certain is that grandmas are going to die from school being open.  Lots of 'em.  What's also certain, and it will be far, far fewer, but some kids are going to die, too. 

Anybody think we'd have opened up if 60% of deaths from Covid-19 were kids instead of the elderly?  What would have been the plan then?  Same urgency to order a pizza?

Will you be reporting for duty when the schools open?

No. The death of an 8 year old is generally looked upon as more of a tragedy than the death of an 80 year old.

When polls get "down into the weeds" and show a result for 5% of the people or 10%, it really is chaff.  About that percentage in polls just answer randomly, or as a joke, they just don't care.  We used to "poll" people and insert a question like "Would you rather have $5 for completing this poll or $25?" and 10% would say $5.  These were written questionnaires, so a bit different.

You also have 5% or so who say what they think you want to hear if done verbally as in a focus group interview.

If 20% of people will refuse to take a free vaccine, well, so be it.  I'd be surprised if the figure is really that high in the longer run, especially if this thing goes ballistic.

Now I need to go sell some more stock.  Gonna be a rough few months I suspect.

Vaccine refusals are rooted in basically two things. Religion is the biggest one, but some fear the safety of a vaccine.

Ah gotcha

We had more deaths yesterday than last Tuesday . We had more today than last Wednesday. It's too early to call, but I fear an inflection point.

As of yesterday deaths has declined for nine weeks in a row

Yes I know deaths is a trailing indicator so this trend might change

Nationally or in Texas, 320?

Nationally

Texas has a very low death rate as only nine states have a lower one
