Si: Cal-TCU Rated Among Top 20 Nonconference Games, But Will It Be Played?

Jake Curtis

Cal's home game against TCU, scheduled for September 5, figures to be a significant indicator for a pair of teams lurking just outside the top 25, which is why Yahoo ranked that contest as one of the nation's top 20 nonconference games of the 2020 season.

If the game is played, that is. And if anybody will be allowed to witness it. That will be addressed later.

The Golden Bears are being mentioned as dark horses in the Pac-12 North, an improving team on the verge of emerging as a player on the national stage. But will it be this season, or will Cal sink back to mediocrity amid the overzealous expectations?

The lies and B.S. continue...

Deaths have now fallen to the point that the CDC will no longer regard the Chinese virus as an "epidemic" any longer. That doesn't square with the Media narrative, eh? And, that's after we've seen the evidence that State Health charlatans are playing jiggery-pokery with the way they classify what is a "case" and also how they now count a death.

There's too much money at stake for the Conferences to abandon the Season. There will be some creative explaining, but the games will be played.

Key Updates for Week 26, ending June 27, 2020
Nationally, levels of influenza-like illness (ILI) and COVID-19-like illness (CLI) activity remain lower than peaks seen in March and April but are increasing in most regions. The percentage of specimens testing positive for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, also increased from last week. Mortality attributed to COVID-19 decreased compared to last week and is currently at the epidemic threshold but will likely increase as additional death certificates are processed.

How did counting a death change? Serious question - thanks.

From a story on the way the DSHS has changed things around:
“Currently, a death in our community is reported as COVID-19 related only if a laboratory test had been completed and confirmed. Under the new DSHS guidance, any individual whose death certificate lists COVID-19 as a cause of death or a significant condition contributing to death (even when no confirmatory laboratory testing was performed) will be included in the COVID-19 death totals.”

I cannot find the link to the Power Point presentation that directly quotes the State Health people, but it is linked on a post over on the General Board. The upshot is that the deaths attributed to the Chinese virus are somewhat inflated, as are the actual cases. Like the old saying goes: "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."
