I think you will be proven wrong. This phase-in plan will work fine and we’ll be back to normal soon enough. The sanitizing and safety issues will be widely accepted by everyone and we will move on with life. We cannot let one specific infectious disease bring down society in just about every way, especially when the models were so very wrong. It’s not near as bad as what the media and some health experts and politicians were spouting out early on. We have to be smart and quit living in fear.

I hope you are right. I will say my source of information is probably more accurate than your's. Let's hope we get back soon and safe.

I just have two questions.

1.  When have any of you seen a 'flu' shot that worked 100%?

2.  Has anybody ever heard of a shot to prevent a common cold? 

I ask this as Covid 19 is more like a super cold than the common flu.

fb247, if I am wrong please tell me.

Like you said, no shot for the common cold. I think Covid 19 is much more than a super cold. May be more like a super pneumonia. Just like a lot of infectious viruses everyone is affected differently and some more susceptible. The unknown is the biggest obstacle.

What is their time period for Basketball ?

 

In 2019 the dates were as follow:

1st date for practice - Oct 21

1st date for a game - Nov 8

Complete region - Feb 8

Remember, they started the exact same date as Tenn. did in 2019 and finished the week after Tenn.

Totally agree. It is time to live. If NY tries to wait until 2022 they will no longer exist.

Some of you are really buying into the fear porn out there. The data is trending in the right direction. Ohio just announced they are having a phased reopening starting May 1. European countries are sending their students back to school. Don't let the mainstream media control you. Antibodies testing in California is revealing the virus is far more wide spread than anyone knew and that the coronavirus death rate is right in line with the traditional flu which is .1% while the Spanish Flu was 2.6%

Big Clay Travis fan?

The current IHME models state that Tennessee will have zero new deaths per day starting May 12th.  At that point, temperatures will be above 80 degrees.  Is it possible that it might return in November?  Sure.  But no way you cancel High School football with zero deaths, probable treatments, and a bunch of possible scenarios.  Also we are finding out that Covid19 is not as deadly as previously thought and that there might be herd immunity by August anyway.  One more thought, if you are on Social Security, Medicare, or Disability, you can always quarantine yourself as you are at a higher risk.  Playing football and attending games are not mandatory.

Models? Seniors? Disabled?  Having a brain is not mandatory either.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
