b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 This is the biggest problem with widespread covid among younger people: unknowingly or unwittingly passing it along to an older friend or relative who are much more likely to end up seriously sick or dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bubble strategy that the NBA and NHL are going with may work; anything that doesn’t involve literally quarantining players/staff is doomed to fail though.

It's better than traveling city to city for sure, but there are still a number of problems. Both Hockey and Basketball requires very close contact between the players. That will increase the likelihood of transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hockey is taking some pretty extraordinary measures... on paper it should work. The main vector of failure is trusting a bunch of millionaire 22 year old horndogs to remain locked in a hotel for 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69los Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 It has worked so far with NWSL (Utah) and MLS (Orlando). Neither have reported cases I believe. For those in a bubble, a lot of this will hinge on the players' willingness to be as selfless as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball has little contact but no bubble. I think the bubble is the only way. Baseball’s fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 NHL also has the benefit of being in Canada. All of the western conference teams are playing in Edmonton, and all eastern teams play in Toronto. All games will be played in the same arena. The teams are staying in a locked down hotel that is physically attached to the rink. Each team gets a floor. There will be food and entertainment brought in and they will be taking team bus trips to golf courses. Otherwise, there is zero contact with the outside world. All staff and referees and crew and players and everyone will be literally locked in a hotel together and tested regularly. We'll see what happens. They're there now and play starts this week.

This is a good plan. All of the leagues should have chosen to play outside of America, honestly. It would be something to see NFL teams play all of their games in Canada. lol.

NFL would be a very different game with only 3 downs and a much larger field. It would be pretty cool to see the game change to a huge focus on passing (more so than normal). 37 minutes ago, 69los said: Ironically, Canada forced their only baseball team to play their home games in the US.

The hospitalization isn't too surprising for someone very sick. The length of stay for someone in our unit has been on the longer side of things. We just took someone off ecmo after 40+ days. Knowing how much this administration lies, bringing up other organs in the tweet makes me think he's worse off than they're leading on.

Completely healthy people spend weeks in the hospital all the time! They're just doctors and nurses, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iculus Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 My son is in the Atlanta public school system. School is starting on time, but the first 9 weeks are online. They will reassess after that. Most of GA is just resuming as if nothing is going on, as far as i know. My stepmom is a teacher in Texas. My dad has copd. As of now, she is expected to show up as normal. She is moving in with her daughter, because this would kill my dad. This is such a shit show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Republicans think that it should be illegal to criticize them. They whine about "PC and cancel culture" then spend the entire game complaining to the refs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
