Nobody is sick from it. They need a test to tell them they are sick.

There're 41,000+ in the hospital right now sick from it, in addition to the 1,000 per day that die of it.

Actually more than 600,000 Americans are in the hospital on any given day.

How many of the 40,000 hospitalized with Covid have no other serious health conditions?

It seems, best I can find, that only 2% of those 40k were otherwise healthy. So 800 Americans are hospitalized solely due to Covid.

This is all fear mongering BS designed to remake society so that the elites will own all the property and all the businesses and will require us to be monitored at all time.

so that's suddenly a reason to let these people die? why do we bother treating people above 70 for anything then?

70 year olds have an average remaining life expectancy of well over a decade....and yes most 70 year olds have some kind of preexisting condition, that's part of being 70.

But they are not on deaths door like people like you like to pretend. their deaths count.

when did we become a country where we could let half a million people die and act like it's nothing?

If this was Obama you would be all over his ass about it, and you know that's a fact.

this COVID denial is pure simple-minded political allegiance....the kind of thinking that will be the demise of our country.

It's almost as if 'they' knew...

how could they let so many have it? In my country there have never been more than 4 cases in the same school

Been there. I’ve seen better track facilities as a HS. And they ever fix the brick road leading into the stadium?

I agree with the football cult but not impressed otherwise. Though the track & field numbers are nice. It just shows you can have a big team. I’m sure most pay their own way and have to fundraise. Why not have a big team?

I agree that you are confused. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. There are only a couple of places in the country that have track facilities that compare to Nebraska.

I would like to know what high school has an indoor 200m hydraulically adjustable banked Mondo track with seating for 4,000 people, 8 lanes practice straight away for sprints, an athletes' lounge, coach's offices, separate locker rooms, separate physical therapy facilities for track, and a connected 200m warm-up area with Mondo straight aways as well as access to underwater treadmills, an athlete only cafeteria, a sports science facility, access to free daily massages, etc.

Nebraska also has plans to replace its current outdoor track facilities with a $13 million outdoor track complex that will be one of the best in the nation.

Also, scholarships are limited by the NCAA, so obviously most have to pay their own way, but they have access to the same perks as every other athlete. I have never heard of a walk on athlete having to help with fundraising. Any fundraising by scholarships would be limited to signing Christmas cards or something similar. They aren't out parading track athletes for fundraisers.
