prove kids aren't transmission sources before schools can open.

If you're referring to my post above, I did not say I want it proven that kids arent transmission sources. I want it proven that they can safely go back to school

Fair, and I appreciate your opinion. I didn't say mine was the only right one.

I want school open for my son too, when it is proven to be safe to do so. Proven...not suggested by a handful of studies that say one thing, when there is an equally sized handful of studies that suggest the complete opposite.

Yes he is missing out right now, but can you imagine, if he goes back to school, does catch it, and does pass it along and ends up killing grandma? A lifetime of questioning whether he was responsible is far worse than missing out on a couple months of in person teaching.

If, and I think it's a big IF, the Big 10 plays in the spring, how banged up are they gonna be if they are then asked to turn around and start prepping for the fall '21 season within a matter of weeks?

I think next season you'll see a disproportionate amount of injuries coming from the Big 10

EDIT: Just read Alum's comment just above mine. Did not intend to repeat the same point

here are many studies that conclude they really don't

You were so close! I'll finish it

here are many studies that conclude they really don't and there are as many studies showing that they really do

I'm a parent of a school age kid (1st grader to be exact), I want him back in school as much as the next parent, BUT with as much unknown as there still is, I wouldn't be sending him back to one of those schools in a county like the one in Georgia we've all seen circulating.

Frankly, IMO, if someone doesn't have school aged children, or work in a school, I don't take their opinion for much on the matter. I can only assume they want schools to reopen so the parents can get back to work, and I'll stop there before I tread in to politics.

Here is a blog from University of Michigan Health, from 23 hours ago, I've copied and pasted the most important line in the whole thing for you

None of the available data so far is sufficient enough to conclude whether children may drive COVID-19 transmission, according to Tribble

Tribble is Alison Tribble, MD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Michigan Medicine CS Mott Children's Hospital.

Please stop proclaiming that kids don't spread it. Cause you don't know that, no one knows that. There have been studies that suggest they might not, there have been equal numbers of studies that suggest they might.

how many people does it take to spread a pandemic?

In the US, I believe it was 15.

No. Listening to the experts would have been doing an actual lockdown, like all the countries that mostly got it under control did.

What we did was state by state issued varying degrees of stay at home orders, with no real consequences for violating them...sure there were threatened consequences, but much like mask mandates, they're not real. My local DA has openly stated he will not prosecute anyone or any business who violates the statewide order.

In sum, we did fuck all, and now it shows

Reminds me of something I saw the other day, said something to the order of "if you really wanted your kids back in school this fall, you should have listened to the experts in the spring.

Good. Far too many people are screwing around with this one. Glad to see Louisville making an example out of them.

I was just pointing out that the turnover prone QB that started our season last year is no longer with us, and the difference in the offense was undeniable once Hooker took over. Two different teams.

Yup, saw the schedule and thought, "I didn't even consider that football might actually happen, this is kinda awesome"....then saw that the first game is still over a month away. A lot can and will happen in that time frame

A good read, that is close to home for many of us:

A Trip To Virginia Beach Showed Why We Aren't Beating This Virus

My family lives in Northern Virginia, and we took a trip to Virginia Beach to see the town, experience the wonders of the ocean again, and just spend some time out of the house. In terms of sights, experiences, food, and more, we got all we could ask for. But in terms of an education on why the US cannot shake the Coronavirus, we learned a lot even though we weren't thinking of this as we headed out.
