Wow, this seems like an strange description of reality. I mean it's all about being in close proximity with people, the less airflow and more people congregating and talkin and coughing more chance of spreading it

I've hardly ever seen a guy tackling a girl and don't think it's the major reason this is getting spread

I don't know I just found that kind of like out there to even talk about a guy tackling a girl as an example of typical interactions that could be spreading the virus. I mean is that becoming more typical ways that guys deal with having a crush on a girl

Yeah it's pretty much the norm now. Most good-looking girls we're football gear and helmet 24/7 to deal with constantly being tackled. It's the reason why the virus is happening

Fauci works for Big Pharma.

Perhaps you guys forget what goes on after school when kids with hormones have nothing to do in the hallways waiting for practice to start :)

Oh no! The virus hasn't been eradicated! The only solution is to cancel everything forever.

This. Newsflash people: COVID is here to stay. You WILL get COVID in some form in your life, probably many times, and you will survive.

Accept this fact and let’s get back to normal.

Uhhh... no. I'm still a kid, haven't forgotten anything. This was super weird. To use a guy tackling a girl as the example for how the virus is being spread is just, way out there. The virus is spread from being close to other people's breath, especially when talking or coughing. It has nothing specifically to do with horseplay or tackling or crushes on girls.

What do you mean the virus is spread when the guys tackled girls. You know like during stretching. All of a sudden a guy will run over and tackle a girl. Stretching crushes, guys tackling girls. That's the ticket. That's what it's all about. Guys would just stop tackling girls during stretching. We'd all be fine

You mean Americans aren't just tough anymore and can't handle a little pain and discomfort like those Americans of the 30's and 40's?

The Americans in the 30s and 40s were stupid. We have progressed beyond that.

People in the 30s and 40s wouldn't have worried about COVID because most would not have lived long enough to worry about dying from COVID. The average age of a COVID death is almost 78. Life expectancy in 1935 was 59.9 for males and 63.9 for females.

sounds about right for 14-18 year olds at an xc/track practice:

horseplay

"Horseplay is rough play in which people push and hit each other, or behave in a silly way.

[old-fashioned]" - collinsDictionary definition

imagine when kids get out of school at 2:30PM and get changed to go to xc practice. they are waiting 20mins after school before XC coach/supervisor can even arrive . bunch of clowning around until 3PM before the coach can make sure they're socially distancing and wearing masks and all that crapola

Dr Fauci: "We're finding out that it's the team sports where kids are getting together, obviously many without masks, that are driving it, rather than in the classroom spread," Fauci told ABC's George Stephanopoulos Tuesday on "Good Morning America." "When you go back and take a look and try and track where these clusters of cases are coming from in the school, it's just that." -

People still believe Fauci? He has not been correct about anything. He just hand waves assumptions about small data sets, then promotes with the liars at CNN. Facui is a moron admin, not a real scientist nor the top expert of anything; HE IS AN ADMIN, his opinion should mean absolutely nothing. This is all BS, and pointless. Are these kids getting sick, or are they just testing asymptomatic children for giggles. It is near child abuse, leave the kids alone.

Fauci is considered brilliant and is looked up to by a lot of the MDs I know

They’re also helping these kids have a semi normal life and do the one thing that they love. They’re also allowing kids that would never be able to sniff college to get scholarships and their schooling paid for.

These kids have been in a sh!t school situation, no in school at all, or “online learning” (which isn’t worth a shi!t) for over a year now. Don’t take the sports away. We screwed up and canceled too early last year anyway.

While I’m at it has ANYTHING Fauci said in his first opinions been right?! This dude is sh!t. So is the woman Birx. They sat on their hands when they say they knew that our president was giving us wrong info (and they knew this the entire time) but they were to dang pu$$yfied to stand up and say anything. Worthless. They should be fired.

I don't live in the US but I was watching a National Geographic doco on COVID and Fauci told the show that he was "immediately worried" about COVID and put his team "to work to crack the DNA code" of the virus. This was obviously early Jan 2020. So why did he spend all of Feb 2020 saying the virus wasn't a problem? Somebody needs to sue him.

He is a tiny man. No wonder he hates sports.

Fauci was captain of his high school basketball team.

Also a longtime runner.

I had a girl in class who was captain of the swim team, yet she hated swimming.

Hmm.

345k Covid deaths in 2020?

I thought it was 500k.

There is no consistency in these made up numbers

Which MDs are those?

I

This is a ridiculous statement. The more MDs learn about this, the more they understand they don’t know much. It reminds me of Richard Feynman when discussing quantum mechanics: “ If you think you understand quantum mechanics then you don't understand quantum mechanics"?

What the scientific world and those who represent the politics of science is a dose of humility.
