July has come and gone. The warm weather didn't kill the damn thing.

Come on man. We are going to give the test to the entire country and then report anyone who has ever had it, even if it was someone who had it 3 months ago with zero symptoms, as a new case. The only thing that’s changed is that statistically it was way less dangerous than the experts said. So much so that they have downgraded their fatality estimates 5 times already. Their maps you see of FL, NY, CA and TX are ridiculous. For example they color in the entire state of TX showing it a high-case State. Wrong. Color in Dallas and Houston. The rest is the state is basically case-free. It’s no difference for FL or NY. I’m sure the people in upstate NY are ready to give NYC the boot right about now. In baseball terms the umpires blew the call, everyone watching at home can see they blew the call, but there was no instant replay available to overturn it. Thankfully my 2020 reports in less than 3 weeks as scheduled and his conference is playing football this fall as planned (conference games only) with only a slight delay. Some of his friends that went JUCO had their whole fall cancelled and all classes pushed to online.

Yep. Once we elect someone who will actually create a real plan to address the virus, instead of burying his head in the sand while thousands die and our economy tanks, we will get it taken care of. Let's have the election tomorrow!

Ah yes, like the plan to nationalize testing, build massive makeshift hospitals in multiple cities, send boats, increase PPE, vents, give everything needed to each state...then watch as it all wasn't really needed and it can be handled just fine with local health departments (as it has been now for months)...that plan? Sounds pretty awesome to me. Like Birx said this weekend- it is extraordinarly spread now. No stopping it, never could stop it. Virus is going to virus. Only could mitigate to levels that hospitals could control, and then try to isolate/trace. Which is what every state is doing. Massive jump on vaccine testing, multiple treatments already working, death rates skyrocketing down from April even with more tests. An absolute gem of a plan from the national level.
But...we freak out over hearing of a "positive" case still. And the fate of young children education hanging in the balance for the fall now too.
The plan was perfect. The hysteria and overreaction has derailed it.
I am glad to hear how successful Iowa HS sports were this summer though. One more step to waking up the country of how we can be normal, not the abnormal.

Looks like a second wave hit the thread..... Unfortunately, baseball is done for us. My youngest is doing FB workouts, though. Not likely to be any actual FB for a while, but he can get in his socially distanced FB workouts.

How is it that travel ball and collegiate summer teams have been able to operate the past 6 weeks with no reports of mass outbreaks, coaches getting sick, umpires getting sick, kids getting sick, and fans getting sick? There are tens of thousands of teams travelling all over the place to play travel tournaments with nothing more than a "must wear your mask entering the facility" policies.
It's funny that MLB can't go more than a couple of weeks without threatening to shut down and travel and collegiate summer teams can go this long with no major issues.
Guessing you never received a coherent answer/response?

Travel ball and HS players don’t go to strip clubs and casinos as frequently as MLB players do.
