Nope. I've been completely and uncharacteristically civil with you.
I think it's weird, but possible, that you somehow didn't know that the death rate in this country has hovered around 1000 for weeks. I think it's weirder that, when you checked my numbers, you found inaccurate information when the accurate information is more readily available. I'm not accusing you of anything, I just find the whole sequence odd.
Like I said, I really don’t pay much attention to what’s going on outside of Colorado. The one and only source of info I use for worldwide info on the virus is ncovid19. That source said 20 deaths in the US. I was surprised that the numbers were so different, so that’s why I posted what I did. I wasn’t arguing with you, just pointing out that the source I use reported differently. The explanation that the number I saw was for deaths so far that day made sense, and I acknowledged as much.
More of your data from the Trump wing echo chamber?
I wasn't able to in a quick search find specific numbers of returning college students hospitalized but it takes a very short time to see multiple articles about students from various colleges who have been hospitalized.
San Diego State, Kansas State, South Carolina, and many others have stories published about individual students who are hospitalized with the disease.
And there are people dying. https://myfox8.com/news/report-60-covid-19-deaths-traced-to-college-campuses/
It isn't just students who are found on college campuses and can suffer. Add to this of all the students on campuses how many will return to their family homes at least once in the next few weeks. Most students who live on campus still go to school in their home states and regularly visit home. Lets just bring it back for mom and dad and the grandparents to share in.
But by all means lets play football because entertaining the fans is much more important that the lives that are impacted or lost.
The insane and counter productive idea is to cling to the stupid ideas that we can develop "herd immunity" or that it's just "the flu."
By the way your total stupidity (yes I am calling you stupid) about this issue is shown by your idiotic comment about vendors "at least wear a mask to preserve some of their livelihood." If you can't figure out after all the times it has been repeated and illustrated that the mask provides much more protection to others than it does the wearer then you aren't going to be able to figure out something as complicated as our fast approaching 200,000 dead from C-19 being much more severe than any combination of flu years in recent decades.

You haven't expressed any opinions today. Just bad facts (you can name the term differently). I'm confused at your angle here.

He's just confirming my theory (post #3062).
Geez . . . I wish there was another room for the (political/personal) turn in this thread . . . oh, there is: https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/coronavirus-all-in-one-thread.142987/page-782#post-2916032
I wasn’t referencing any responses to my comments.
My angle is to try to encourage a little more civility around here. Calling people stupid does nothing to find any common ground.
I’m not interested in finding common ground with people who insist on spreading harmful misinformation. Calling that “stupid” is generous in my opinion.
I dunno, it works with Nebraska fans.
That’s because everybody hates Nebraska.
The purpose of wearing a mask to prevent spread to others isn't an opinion, it is established scientific fact. There are no two angles on the issue.
A deliberate ignoring of scientific fact because it doesn't match your pre-established opinion makes you stupid. Unfortunately for people like this playing nice doesn't advance the dialog at all. They just rationalize it as saying the other side is timid because they are wrong or at least unsure of their views.
These by the way were the same tactics they used when they wanted to ignore the scientifically proven connection between smoking tobacco and lung cancer and heart disease. They referred to it as an opinion. There are still individuals who believe that tobacco laws are all a government conspiracy to control their lives.
You can have an opinion on if close to 200,000 people dead is significant, the fact is they are still dead and the fact is that a virus called among other things Covid-19 is killing them or at least responsible for them dying sooner than they otherwise would have.
I respect opinions of others even if I strongly disagree. I consider them stupid if they ignore scientific fact.
In answer to his last sentence: Talk to any number of pandemic health experts. I’m sure there are some in walking distance from your own ****ing office.

Here's another answer, also for those saying all kids should be in school, regardless of local conditions.
www.cnn.com
At least 3 teachers have died from Covid-19 complications in recent weeks

Based off that article it doesn't look like she contracted the virus at School.Here's another answer, also for those saying all kids should be in school, regardless of local conditions.

But it speaks to susceptibility - it's not just about the kids. There is a broad community concern, starting with the teaching staff.
There is mounting evidence that playing football is far safer for the athletes than not.
Contact tracing is huge with a virus. An organized event/sport makes it a hell of a lot easier to do than anything unorganized.

Do you have any links? I searched on "football players safer at school" and the top few links were articles about Saban saying "football players are safer at school." None of the rest in the first couple of pages cited any kind of study or professional validation in favor. The only professional was a doctor saying they're not safer playing football, but that's just one guy. I don't have any idea who's right, but it seems like a lot of wishful thinking.

2020 NFL COVID-19 List
Here's a breakdown of the players that have been placed on the reserve/COVID-19. We'll be posting updates to this list as players are added and removed in the coming months. The COVID-19 list was created
nfltraderumors.co
Doesn't a total of 5 NFL players being on the COVID list atm show that?
One more question-aren't the parties that we've heard about at some of these universities the true "super spreader" events?

Absolutely not. NFL is apples and oranges to CFB with regards to resources and maturity of the players
Agreed. But the point holds, College kids are going to be dumb
Forgot to check in with Wisconsin.
We know he feels. This additional Tantrum is silly.

Whether you can get Covid playing football has literally nothing to do with anything.
