Predictions for the 2020 Season?

This argument of “protect the most vulnerable” and let everyone else run buck a#s wild is ridiculous.  If one was to include everyone +50 years old and all people with compromised health issues – you might be talking more than +1/3 of the population.

Somehow you’re asking the “strong” not to mix with the “weak”….just so we can watch some football?

Your either young and selfish or a trump supporter to believe such an idea.  Either way, what your proposing will not tap down deaths (like they’ve done in Europe and Asia) but instead, continue the spike.

The only way I see this working is if you isolate college athletes/ coaches – they would need to live in a bubble from now till the end of the season. They could not leave the bubble, they could not visit their family or friends, all classes would be online within the bubble.

I can possibly see this scenario with professional athletes, but I feel this is a huge ask for college kids.

I find it comical how many people are SHOCKED that infections increased after the lockdowns ended (and massive protests happened with thousands of people gathered together) … as if the virus would suddenly disappear because we all hid for months. The virus is out there and is going to stay out there until we get it (i.e., build natural antibodies via a naturally occuring infection) or get a vaccine (i.e., build natural antibodies through a manufactured, injected strain). The cycle of isolation and phased re-opening is likely our future, but it is an absurd strategy* that accomplishes nothing except a slow herd immunity (*so long as there is adequate capacity in the medical system).

Any team that gets the infections over with early is going to have an advantage (I am looking at you, Clemson). 

Coronavirus is deadlier than the flu for elderly and unhealthy. The flu is deadlier than coronavirus for the young and healthy. I would hope that most college athletes fall into the young and healthy camp.
