Re: 2020 Football Season?
Your reply is not representative of my opinion. I agree with you in what we will do.
I'm not calling for a "stay at home" through winter. I'm calling for listening to the experts and doing what needs to be done to shift the economy to tread water as to not collapse. This whole notion of setting an artificial timeline or just forget about social distancing to turn the economy around is insane.
I am all for relaxing social distancing for groups of people that meet certain criteria at the right time, but I'm also realistic in assuming that such things as large gatherings, it may be 4-6 months for a return to normalcy.
I'm also not saying that we shouldn't worry about the economy, but there are options to make it a softer landing that will allow for a swift recovery. Prematurely sending the country back to business as usual only to have to do a second major "stay at home" will be extremely detrimental. I worry about that.
Finally, what I worry about are people that are not listening to the facts and creating their own.

Re: 2020 Football Season?
LakeCat, I literally have 35 group homes of the population you just described. about 25 living there are high risk health issues around COVID. We have stopped all family visits and home visits, all community outings. We now have 200 high acuity and high behaviour individuals stuck in 4 BR group homes. and what I cannot control...is the staff that goes off shift and goes home and interacts with their family, who may have been in community. These are amazing dedicated staff. Not medical professionals but amazing caring and trained people. But we know it is very likely one at some point will bring back the virus to one of our homes. Just simple stats tell me that.

Re: 2020 Football Season?
Where were my numbers wrong . Point it out. My stats came directly from the latest released on Italy as of today. At a period where Italy is roughly 4 weeks in. Tell me exactly where I skewed the numbers. How the hell did you get to 45%?
Let me ask this differently. Do you deny that in Europe only 17% of those infected require treatment beyond home care?
Of that 17% do you deniy that roughly 25% have died? And of that 25% all had co-morbid health risks and were over age 55 except 1 who had lukemia?
I freely admit that data is 2 days old but do not think it has morphed that much.
So again, where have I skewed the numbers?
As for cost to economy, that may be easier to calculate in the end. What does 2.3MM new unemployed cost? In one week?Last edited by VirginiaCat; 03-24-2020 at 07:57 PM.

Re: 2020 Football Season?
I don’t want us to get in a fight on here.. i think all make valid points. We need a lot of prayer and patience. It has been some extremely tough conversations with folks. There are businesses 70 years old, that will not be able recover from this... we will get through this, but what it looks like on the other side, its scary is all I can say..

Re: 2020 Football Season?
I think we should have a separate carina iris board and leave sport talk here. I know that would be some mixing, but this thread is not a sports discussion any more

2020 Football Season?
Agreed. I struggled getting to sleep last night after wanting to read a relaxing sports thread here.
Certainly was legitimate to start the thread asking the question, and nobody's fault, but it migrated.
I don't know whether it's Barber Shop or Front Porch, and in doubt, I lean toward the former.
Let's move it there.

Re: 2020 Football Season?
Putting this here either just before or the thread gets moved, but this U of L researcher projects Kentucky won't hit the peak number of confirmed cases until August 20.
Also projects at that time there will be 635,000 confirmed cases in Kentucky.

If this thing continues to increase through late August as the article states, I don't see how you can start football practice or any large group event.U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19

Deleted my posts because I didn’t want it out in the general public. Can you delete where I was quoted?

Re: 2020 Football Season?
hey, I agree. I apologize to all for being argumentative. THat was not my intent and on a message board the typed text does not convey emotion or lack thereof.
We all have skin in this game. In some way or another. But I will say this, if the St. Louis Fed Reserve Pres is correct and Unemployment will be 30% and GDP cut 50% then that is a medicine I do not feel our country can take. Just a personal opinion.
