I think of the pandemic in the USA as a pandemic we as society deserve due to:

1) all those that value their person freedom and comfort over the well being of society in general and the most vulnerable in particle

2) youth not worried about their own health or that of others so feel the need to party and not take any precautions as more important than about being able to resume in-person classes

3) professional athletes not following league guidelines for stopping the spread

4) those that deny they pandemic is real or anything to worry about until they end up require a ventilator

We could have brought the case numbers down along with hospitalizations and deaths as occurred in other countries but we won't be told what to do. We value our freedom too much even if that means ongoing pandemic and the loss of in-person schooling, sports, and many more lives.

I am not hiding in my house but I am wearing a KN95 mask when out in public. I do go out and run and do so without a mask.

Good news: you can do something. You can do your part by wearing a mask during the entirery of your next race. Even if your season is cancelled, you can still do your part by wearing a mask all the time and staying home so that maybe youll have the slightest hope of running next year in the fall XC season.

Exactly.

Anyone who's afraid of human genetic material should wear their mask all the time and stay home.

Quiz: According to the CDC how many of those 180K supposed Covid deaths died only from Covid?

What was average age of deceased?

How many comorbidities per deceased?

What % were from nursing homes?

I knew we were talking about my backwards-ass state when I read the thread title.

He didn't make statements. He asked questions. Sounds like you know the answers but don't like them.

As a HS teacher and coach - if there is no in-person classes, there should be no extracurricular activities or sports.

As it is last year when classes were suspended, the number of students logging in for virtual classes was less than 30% and county administrators wound up passing every student.

At the very least - if you are not participating in classes and keeping up with assignments then you should not be allowed to suit up whether you are a running back, top goal scorer or 4:10 miler.

In our state two coaches one college and one HS held all comer summer meets and drew large crowds. Both schools are not holding in person classes and made it clear that summer events were not allowed to happen.

Now both coaches will be looking for new jobs.

SCHOOL comes first. If you have no interest in school - drop out and go get a job.

I thought all lives mattered?

Regardless to the answers of those questions, the same CDC still classifies Covid as a pandemic, not a "fake" one either.

Most deaths have comorbidities. And the overall death rate in the U.S. is much higher in 2020 indicating to researchers, including those at the CDC, that Covid deaths are likely under reported.

You seem way more worried about the 180,000 people who were on average in their mid 80s and chose their unhealthy life. You should be more worried about the lives of the 300,000,000 million Americans who are young and are having their lives negatively impacted for years to come. Why do you want to ruin the lives of millions? That is a very selfish attitude. Your logic would result in somebody saving their 85 year old Grandfather even if it meant allowing thousands of children to starve.

Wake up. This has a 99% survival rate. It's effectively a bad flu turned political weapon to get Trump out of office. Seeing as how you are from a "red" state I wouldn't worry too much.

Nonsense. No study has ever proved that healthy ("asymptomatic") people are making other folks sick.

We need to start ignoring this absurd fear mongering and live our lives

Of course it is.

What is the drive for big meets? MONEY.

If the powers tha be wanted to preserve a season they would have dual meets and forego the big invites. Get back to the sports roots. Then come together for a divisional state meet over 2 days that allows participants and spectators to come and go long before the next race.

There’s safe ways to do this.

What you can and should do is start fighting back against the politically-motivated adults that are stealing 25-50% of your HS career from you over nothing.

That depends on your definition of pandemic.

There is certainly a media pandemic in progress, which has nothing to do with a virus.

Thus, there are hoaxes (the imaginary virus) and pandemics (the main stream media) which are both happening.

Here's a photo of the real pandemic virus, and you're not going to stop him by wearing a mask.

Can't have a case if ya gong report it. Just saying.

I watched about six high school football games yesterday. If they can play ball then there's no reason why you shouldn't be aloud to run around in the country lol.

Thanks for the laugh.

Also, I'm sure if you were a senior and ill, you would deny my tax dollars and request that they go to a food bank, right? I hope so. Otherwise, that would be a very selfish attitude.

I am middle age and worked night and day to take of myself and my family so that would never happen.
