When are we going to come to the realization that millions and millions of people have the virus and trying to stop the spread is an exercise in futility?

If this keeps up Fauci may prove to be right about the football season.

Objectively false. Period. It's yet another example why these conversations are pointless because we have posters here who will (constantly and loudly and repeatedly) say things that are just 100% false as if they had any merit whatsoever.Not playing football games isn’t going to make anyone any safer
Negative. Cry moreAnd you, asleep, and the other members of the soy crew will celebrate.
No football?!?!? YES!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!
I wonder if some invincible-feeling super fit young players are putting themselves in position to contract the virus in the preseason. They may intend to get it over with so they can focus on the season following quarantine.
The highest profile teams with the most to lose are, so far, experiencing the most severe outbreaks- shocker!
Really? So far as I have read, they really don't have any kind of handle on what constitutes definitive vectors, much less a nicely detailed list of "What Is More Risky?" With none of these things concretely laid out, we're just grasping at the invisible.Objectively false. Period.

some interesting quotes here
"the real-time complications of testing, tracing and quarantining athletes have been exponentially more complex than many expected"
"Multiple coaches stressed one of the keys to winning this season will be avoiding outbreaks and not having to forfeit games because of an in-season outbreak"

What we do know is that this disease is in the vast majority of cases quite mild, especially so in younger people. Thus, the abject panic of these pronunciations "Three Players Test Positive!!!!" is silly. The players, staff, Coaches, people who happened to be standing around: All got tested. It is unsurprising that some tested positive, given that the majority of cases are asymptomatic! The players who tested positive were probably unaware that they were even sick.
A point of curiosity is whether antibody tests were performed. I would wager that there are a lot of persons who have already had the disease without knowing, and have just lived their lives like normal. But, such things are not considered newsworthy, as they do not contribute to panic...

This is why the antibody test is crucial. It can be determined who has already had the disease and no longer needs to be tested.All true but, to me, the biggest concern is if several players test positive during the season, do they quarantine just those players or all they were in contact with. I agree that most of the young players will only have a mild case but the colleges can't take that risk. I think the forfeiting games or playing games with some of the main players missing a game or 2 is the big risk.
Tcu is 11-0 going into the final week. Two days before kickoff of the final game they find out that virtually all the opponent starters the week before had covid, and thus all the tcu starters got exposed and now must quarantine. Tcu loses the final game and misses the playoff.some interesting quotes here
