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

Thank you to all who responded.  It was tough getting the call, even when you know it's going to come.  My dad lived a long life (almost 77 years) and a good life so that's something to be thankful for.  One of the things that got my dad was that his kidney's were already weak and once he got sick they pretty much shut down and they were not able to give him a full dose of the remdisivr anti-viral, he only got a half dose.  I'm not sure that it would have helped him any but who knows? 

Believe it or not I'm in the camp of open it up.  The truth of the matter is that is mostly affects the old and weak, of which my dad was both and he really did not take any precautions like he should unless he had to.  Mom had it and beat it and has had asthma and other lung problems for years.  She seems to be doing well so far.  I think we're probably already at war with China and we just don't know it yet (or maybe some do) and these are just the first casualties of that war.  

What we really need to be looking at is the younger and more healthier people who have died from it.  I would like to see some of the stats on how it affects them, what were their co-morbidities, if any and other factors.  I do not believe it is a large threat to younger, healthy people and even older healthy people.  

good luck

I think OAM is actually a roach that comes out from under stuff after the lights are turned off and we go to bed

Speaking of predictable, thats predictable

Or I just live in the Western Time Zone (half the time)

many folks have been infected, Saban just happens to be a coach

He could have easily contracted the virus if there was no football

I don't feel many folks think he will die.  I don't

I don't know that anyone is right or wrong

Comparing the 7-day MA from Oct 14 to the 7-day MA from Sep 30, again a 2-week split, we're now up to a 24.2% increase in new daily cases.

The 7-day MA on daily deaths has stopped its decline/stagnation and gone very slightly positive over the last few days, but not by any amount that I'd be willing to call a trend at this time.

I don't know if it's due to behavior or weather that cases are turning upward so strongly.

could also be partially due to increased testing


the key is the hospitalizations and the deaths


its too early to know what will happen there

lets hope those two stats dont follow the same trend as positives

We, the country, are stipulating tha this is a virus and short of going into a bunker, which few want to do, we are accepting of the fact that some will test positive. 

Are you suggesting all positive cases are an example of recklessness?

What does that even mean, a valid football season?  We are making the best of things and that, now, means not going into a hole imperpituity.  Just like a lot of other areas of life, we tolerate an amount of risk.    Risk of flu, car wrecks, covid, drowning, traumatic injury through competitive sports,  etc.  There are entire industries that practice risk mitigation every day, meaning we as a society accept levels of risk.  We're not going to shut down life over this based on what we know now..  Is this what you are advocating?  Life isn't 'normal anywhere that I can tell, even in all of these reckless locales you're so terrified about .

Is there an argument to suggest that CV is a relative lethal risk to a segment of the populace younger than....20...40....60?    Based on your read our H1N1 plans must have been a disaster, a crime against humanity.

So the HC of the #2 team gets Covid the week of the game vs the #3 team, and the response here is a shrug.  We're not having a valid football season here and everyone just wants to get back to normal so badly, that they're being reckless. 

But I'm wrong and a lady now (apparently, for some reason). 

Does Nick Saban seem like the type of person who is reckless about anything to you?
