MY NEW COVID-19 FOOTBALL PROPOSAL

[Indian]

Are all school districts planning to have football, or are any shutting it down even if the state and TSSAA give the go-ahead?

If you ask the Dems Trump gave him a false positive. Just wait for it.

Deaths from Covid have dropped in USA for eleven straight weeks. It peaked the week of April 18 with almost 17k. On July 4 week it was 302! Why is media not telling us this? Answer is becoming more obvious every day. We need to stand up and start living our lives knowing there is always risk in anything we do.

Here's my proposal... go back to school and begin athletics on time as if CV-19 never happened. Not saying that we couldn't and shouldn't use some common sense in such things as disinfecting facilities, taking temp's, teachers monitoring for visible symptoms, ect..., but such drastic action that has already been taken to prevent an epidemic that no one knows for sure the severity of is unprecedented. 

   No matter how we proceed... no matter the caution we exercise... no matter the time we allow to elapse before we allow schools to proceed with any sense of normalcy, there will be a huge spike in cases. As soon as classes begin, someone will test positive and an avalanche of tests among "exposed" students will show that many on each campus are CV-19 positive, though they display no symptoms, and the panic will begin anew. However we respond, I say lets get to it and figure out how to deal with it it a reasonable manner.

The way I read it kids can be in pads in a couple of weeks they just can’t touch anybody. Genius.

Good news is coming this week from the governor’s office. Today’s news was just a precursor to what will follow.

the BOC after a 23 minute meeting in executive session on the 8th decided to do nothing about setting a date to begin play.  The 18th is a potential fall back date to begin play IF the executive order is allowed to expire.  What was put out today by the TSSAA gives me the impression that the order is not going to be lifted or adjusted.  The numbers in Nashville and Memphis are just too high.
