With the covid discussion thread, and this one, I didn't think we needed a third covid related thread. But this is...not good.
Colorado State football players and athletic department staff say coaches have told players not to report COVID-19 symptoms, threatened players with reduced playing time if they quarantine and claim CSU is altering contact tracing reports to keep players practicing.

On that note, I agree with you.
Just to note, those numbers I used were just for the month of July, not cumulative
Either way, with those positive rates...point made.
Also should be noted that countries and/or states that have a very high positive rate are unlikely to be testing widely enough to find all cases. It has been suggested that a positive rate between 3-12% should be a general benchmark for adequate testing numbers.
So again, that 22% really illustrates how bad America is sucking at COVID-19
Let's see, it appears that for the month of July, they ran between 0.2 and 0.3% positive.
Here's some more fun numbers:
In the month of July alone, I'll give you a few locales, and 3 numbers- population, new cases, and deaths, in that order
Thailand - 70 million; 139; 0
Vietnam - 97 million, 191; 2
Netherlands - 17 million; 4,028; 34
Australia - 25 million; 9,069; 93
Canada - 38 million; 12,108; 253
Alabama - 5 million; 49,678; 630
Georgia - 11 million; 105,061; 947
S Carolina - 5 million; 52,716; 973
Florida - 21 million; 317,952; 3,338
Texas - 29 million, 275,757; 4,197
So, maybe you're right...maybe it's not so much that "America sucks at COVID"....instead it's that "America really, really sucks at COVID."
Not to mention that the idea that kids dont contract or spread the virus as much as adults is not proven, by any means

You see, we cannot compare the US to New Zealand because NZ has been successful, whereas the US's national response has been flat out embarrassing
Pretty sure you will not find any recommendation from Fauci that includes a packed hallway with a handful of students wearing masks.
Happy superspreader event day.

Brock Osweiler at $75....man is still getting overpaid
#Hokies athletic department spokesperson also mentions Tech's indoor practice facility is open air during workouts. Tech made it clear from the start of voluntary workouts in June that the indoor facility would be utilized as an open air facility during workouts.— Norm Wood (@normwood) August 3, 2020
This does seem awfully familiar

Two new studies, though from different parts of the world, have arrived at the same conclusion: that young children not only transmit SARS-CoV-2 efficiently, but may be major drivers of the pandemic as well.
The first, which was published in The Lancet yesterday, reports findings from a pediatric hospital in Chicago, Illinois. The second, a preprint manuscript awaiting peer review, was conducted in the mountainous province of Trento, Italy.
Nope not at all, just pointing out that the first two quotes you shared made it sound like Redfield thinks schools should open today full go. Which, as we both know, is not what he said.
I'm actually really glad you support Redfield's opinions on the virus. Redfield has also said that if everyone would wear a mask, we could get under control in 4-8 weeks. So do you part, get out there and start encouraging everyone to wear the damn mask.
But a bitch ain't one
edit: just to be clear, my comment was not directed at anyone, or any comment from the other thread, it was just a play on the "999 reasons", using a popular song from 2004 by the artist in the gif
You left out A LOT of what he said
Takin care of his chicken
I was trying to keep it neutral, lol
Did we get mid-sized dogged?
Just a statement of fact
Ah, right, I forgot he redshirted
That's what she said.
