(70,447 posts)Funny, the things that produce money for the NCAA will come back 1st. "They" say they will be
testing the players all the time but meanwhile the rest of America can't even get tested which is
the only thing we have to stop "the beast" right now, and this will sicken and or kill God only knows how many players, coaches, trainers and support staff because even if they house the players together in special dorms 17 to 24 year old men and women will go out and get laid and then they might bring the virus back to share with their teammates and others along with other teams which they will play against. And they will come back and play in empty stadiums and or arenas with no students on campus. This is madness.
How many dead and or sick people (C-19 has shown to have life long chronic conditions for even
the people who survive it) is a football game worth? Add in the dead and or sick people who get
the beast because we used up some of our testing capacity making sure we can have a football
games.
BTW scanning foreheads to look for fevers will not stop the spread of disease because in most cases of C-19 you are asymptomatic for 2 weeks after you contract the disease however you are still infectious during that time.
If we dont play the long game here we are really fucked.
