Random dudes on twitter always have quality conspiracy theories.
Sixty Texans died yesterday from COVID. Do you just not care? They’re old, right, so let them die?
Deaths are on the rise. Hospitalizations are on the rise. Infections are on the rise. None of this is in dispute - you can see the numbers on any news site. The fact that the lethality rate is relatively low sounds fun until you see how incredibly pervasive and contagious this is. Let’s go with your number of 0.16% death rate - that means that more than half a million Americans will die. More than any disaster, any war (minus Civil) that America has faced.
but sure, half a million dead countrymen is a small price to pay for football!

Especially when they are so open about being a QAnon clown.Random dudes on twitter always have quality conspiracy theories.

IF half a million Americans would die BECAUSE football was being played, then we wouldn’t be having the discussion in the first place and you know that so it’s completely a straw man argument.Sixty Texans died yesterday from COVID. Do you just not care? They’re old, right, so let them die?

The Spanish flu killed 195,000 Americans in Oct 2018. That's the equivalent of 567,000 today, in a single month. So even if half a million die, it will be far from the worst disaster in our history.
It's not that nobody cares. It's just that we don't ONLY care about COVID deaths. It's the thinking that we can't just shut down the country because people are dying of COVID, life needs to go on as close to normal as absolutely possible, otherwise the costs are more damaging than COVID itself.

Doesn't have much to do with football, but here's an interesting result of the Covid-19 crisis. Across the country, the death rate for diabetes, cardiac problems, strokes, obesity and several more such items is going DOWN! Why? Because now the people with those problems who contract Covid-19 and die are said to die from this new disease. Fewer dying from diabetes, strokes, etc, etc. Strange.
IMO LVH doesn't care at all. I've stated on here we need to get as much of the economy going as possible, keeping in mind that we want to keep our high risk people as safe as possible.
As stated in another thread, I have lost 6 people to this virus. That's pretty damn tragic.
This binary choice crap has got to stop. You can want sports to open back up with a certain degree of calculated risk w/o being a heartless capitalist that wants to kill grandma.
I think so. Stewart Mandel is already trying to shame P5 conferences into folding, saying that it would be bad optics to play when the Ivy League isn't because it would show the P5 leagues care more about money than safety
Congratulations, democrats. You all have successfully ruined sports because you keep insisting this virus is black plague 2.0 even though the stats show its pretty much the flu.
OMG a virus that 99.84% of people survive(and thats including forced nursing home deaths) how will we ever manage
Not being political, but having gotten rid of the pandemic team for starts was a horrendous move. Then we basically denied the virus existed until March. That is not how you prepare for something like this. Once we got to March is was too late. Then we started opening up too soon without any sort of guidelines. Then masks were made political. No one is on the same page, because we have not had a unified message. The results are what we see today.curious, what was the right way?
not being political, but when i hear people talk about handling the virus the "right way" exactly what was, is the right way
