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

There’s also a Cleveland, TN. My wife went to college down there.  Her brother still lives there. Just visited him and his family on the 4th.

I wonder how many Clevelands are named for President Grover as opposed to Moses Cleaveland.  Probably all but one.
I'm surprised to see that Cleveland proper is smaller than Tulsa proper.  391,000 compared to 401,000.  Population of the metro areas isn't even close, though.  2.06 million vs. 0.99 million.

Our local school board is starting school on September 8 but also offering an online option to families who prefer that.  Heard that around 600 students have signed up for that so far.

My kids’ private school is starting back the same date with no online options, but with some social distancing precautions and other modifications in place.

"Some social distancing precautions"?  I wonder what that means, exactly.

They're removing all tables from our classrooms and replacing them with individual desks, that are to be spaced out 4-6' apart.  
I'm not sure where that money is coming from, because it sure as hell hasn't been provided by any new legislation.

Directional states = directional schools in football  

This to me is shocking.

"So far, Iowa has conducted 443 COVID-19 tests on athletes, coaches and other staff members in the department. As of Monday, 25 of those came back positive, although the university is not specifying how many involved athletes." This is a 5.5% positive test rate. The virus is circulating much more than most people in Iowa understand.  U of Iowa coaches, staff, and athletes tested

That is is that low or that high?

This is some data I have not seen before, testing of a rep sample of the population.  Now, Iowa athletes are not really a rep sample of course, but it is a sample.

If 1 in 20 of the rep pop in IOWA are positive, it's obvious this thing is way way way out of "control", any semblance thereof, and we're silly to think we can somehow mitigate now.  We can try and protect the elderly and frail and that's it.

We dined out last night, outside, the restaurant was open in defiance of the mayor's order.

You were also in defiance of the mayor's order. Just sayin'.

This thing will not be "under control" until there is a vaccine.

Yeah, I don't care obviously.  The governor stated her order is unenforceable and obviously the police around here are "busy" doing real stuff.

The bar next to us was lively last night.  I guess it's a restaurant.

5.5% of the population of Iowa athletics tested regardless of symptoms since circa June 4 seems very high to me.

As of July 12, 2020, 401,700 positive tests in New York state out of a population of 19,540,000, which is 2.056%. New York City was the epicenter for two months.

this is meaningless without knowing how many total tests were performed

for example what if only 500,000 tests were done then the number of positive would be a lot more important
