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). 
What would you do differently?

I don't personally see much that government should be doing differently.  I can't see how enforcing a mask mandate is practicable.  I see police officers walking around with their mask pulled down around here often, and other folks with it down below their nose, or without one entirely in more crowded areas.  Our building is being really good with one older man who apparently refuses to wear one, and he also gets on elevators with 2-3 folks already present.

The wife said something to him and he ignored her completely.  Another person riding looked at her and raised her eyes.

I was just at Walmart, I go early to avoid any crowd, and folks there were doing pretty well.

SO, what else?  Ban large meetings?  Done.  Social distancing?  Mostly done.  Throw money at a vaccine and treatments?  Done.

The mortality rate appears to be falling now, though obviously we have some personal situations that show it is nowhere near negligible.

I just really want to know what others think we should be doing. Gigem gave his thoughts. CDawg has given thoughts. I've shared mine.

What is reckless about anything we are doing?

I think reckless would be to shut the country down. 

If we are going to see a shutdown, NOBODY gets paid except front liners, and nobody pays taxes to fund government and its employees. 

No school either. Not possible with a shutdown, and online learning has proven to be bad.

A shutdown is a shutdown, period.

Not many want to provide details, it's easier to criticize and claim what we're doing is wrong obviously.

What was suggested is pretty much what is being done.

Remdesivir proved to be the first useful tool we have in treating COVID-19 patients. Now, the US government wants to find out more about how it could be supercharged with other drugs.

football is not essential.  It should be shut down.

Schools & colleges and learning should all be done remotely as should any and all business that is not deemed essential.

this is the opinion of some.  The folks with this opinion are good folks that want an end to the suffering and deaths caused by the virus.

this can all be taken to extremes.  Perhaps some think meat packing and toilet paper manufacturing in non-essential.

Cool. A petition. 

But it's also a small snapshot of what this online learning nonsense is doing to our kids.

I would shut down football IFF I saw evidence, or even logic, that suggested it was promoting infections versus the no football scenario.

We hear about infections in sports, and with politicians, but that isn't necessarily an indication they are getting it because of their positions.

Saban reportedly has no symptoms (yet) and it COULD be a false positive obviously.  He's awaiting retest results.

Seems to me the players and coaches and parents think differently. If they all isolate properly, it's not a problem. That is totally on them. If they want to play, they need to be careful. End of story.

Same goes for any of us.

Is golf and stops in bars essential?
