This is all so ridiculous. The death rate is now way below the flu and the asymptomatic are repeatedly shown to NOT spread the disease. It seems that major decisions are being made strictly on fear and ignorance and not on the scientific data.
COVID-19 is over. All of these precautions are ineffective and unnecessary.COVID-19 has a mortality rate of 3.4%. The flu has a mortality rate of 1%.
It's estimated 29,000-59,000 have died from the flu this year. COVID-19 deaths are at around 132,000. Even if you're one of those that believes the numbers aren't accurate and are too high - that same logic would apply to flu numbers as well, right? (can't have it both ways)
Here is where you are wrong. The official death rate of confirmed cases is .66% as of March 31, 2020. What has happened since then? Cases have gone up and the death rate has gone down. Even the CDC is saying that it is going to lose it's status as an epidemic (no longer pandemic) in a few weeks. I don't subscribe to the emotion and fear porn that the media and politicians place on this. I only look at straight raw facts.

Re: What could college sports look like this year?
I honestly am not that concerned about whether there is pro or college (certainly don't care about pro). I would hate to lose college season but I can survive it. My biggest concern is high school. It is my son's senior season and he won't be playing college. So, I hate for him to lose it as it looks like he will get quite a bit of playing time this year.
Every time this comes to a discussion, Rand Paul is able to get Fauci to admit that children (even HS) do not spread this disease. There is no scientific evidence that asymptomatic people spread it. There is no scientific evidence that children spread this. The shutdown of schools is based solely on fear and ignorance. People are being so overly cautious to a point where society is getting pretty severely damaged.
