Thank you. This is what I asked for. Too often people think pictures and text on the internet are examples of fact based information. Making a claim without any evidence to support it is dangerous territory.

North Carolina needs to decide something (anything), this is ridiculous.
Either postpone the fall sports season to spring or give the go ahead for full level practice for fall sports. This pussyfooting around the issue is helping absolutely no one.
The conditions now versus two weeks from now or two months from now are negligible, make some freaking decisions.

We will probably know something for sure come Friday, or that's what I've heard from high places.
The current order expires on Friday so Cooper will have info on that mid week this week probably after the hurricane. I'd say NCHSAA has decision by Friday or Monday.
Forest Hills had 3 players test positive. Apparently it was not known the players were tested and quarantined until they were cleared to return today. Hope they didn't try and cover it up.
South Iredell shut things down for the week after having a player test positive. They are shutting down in order to conduct contact tracing.
Transparency is a must right now.

We are looking at Spring football and maybe some other close contact sports. No way this governor is going to let anything go on until the election is over.
That wide open is probably going to come to a halt.

With that said Montgomery County has opted to go to plan C. People are starting to get the severity of this thing.
Going to ask you the same thing I did BK. How can you expect to get a season in, when anyone that test positive has to quarantine for 14 days, and likely anyone that is in contact with them as well?
I dont have a concise answer to that but apparently officials in Georgia and Tennessee have, maybe we should ask them?
Wonder how many people test positive for the cold,flu,pneumonia, cancer,heart disease, every day?
Most types of pneumonia aren't contagious, there is a flu vaccine that limits the spread, colds aren't deadly, cancer isn't contagious and is caused by a genetic mutation, and heart disease isn't contagious and is usually genetic. Oh yeah we have treatments for all the above too.
So in other words stop comparing eveything to a highly contagious virus that we still don't know alot about.

Watched two interviews last night. One from a superintendent in Tennessee, one from Texas. Both said that any positive case would require fourteen day quarantine for the player and any player or staff that had been within six feet for ten minutes, including players from the other team if a game has been played during that time. The Texas person said that they were having “in person” school, but that students only attended one day per week, so twenty percent per day. Hard to play football that way.
but it’s an election year and we have to ruin the strongest economy in 30 plus years.
I know 6 people that have had the virus..They all had the same symptom with the virus, that being they didn't even know they had the virus!
No gentle knight it’s killing everyone. We all need to run hide, give away our freedom and let the government pay us to sit on our butts at home
There are many parts of that article I don't disagree with. With that said, I really think the government has dropped the ball in many ways during this pandemic.
Which is the scary thing! Those are the ones passing it to other people who may become symptomatic.
UConn suspended their football season.
There is no reason the NCAA or NFL shouldn't plan a spring season.

yes underlying health conditions contributing to covid deaths are just hokum arent they....from the CDC website..
. Deaths were 12 times higher among patients with reported underlying conditions compared with those without reported underlying conditions (19.5% versus 1.6%).
UCONN did cancel but they where set to play as independent. With most all teams going to play conference only they really had no choice. If they had been in a conference would have they? Nobody know that.
I'm surprised they couldn't work out a deal with the CUSA similar to what Notre Dame did. But they didn't have that relationship already established like Notre Dame did.
An underlying health condition isn't a death wish. People act like because someone had an underlying health issue that if Covid gets them, oh well.
I think the players family should have a big say in this decision whether they should play football or not. I know for my son who is playing college football now if he had not got to play last year he would not be playing right now! He had a great year last year and a lot of schools became interested in him. So this year maybe make or break for some kids that may never go to college without playing football. My son is playing college football right now and has been working out with the team the last couple of weeks and know one has died that don't mean someone may not. If he was back in high school I would let him play because that would be his only chance in playing football at the next level. Every parent should have a say in if they play or don't and let them make a choice on whether their kid plays or not.
Didn't say it was a death wish but it certainly is a major contributing factor in covid deaths
Over seventy million people in America are considered obese. 21.2%. Obesity is considered an underlying condition for COVID. Kinda skews those numbers, doesn’t it? So how many of the deaths had obesity as the underlying condition? I don’t plan to step on the scales today.
Could be a money thing. I am sure Notre Dame is paying dearly to get some games.
Certainly obesity may skew the numbers some but to what degree I dont know...but obesity generally brings a different subset of problems other than just being overweight...diabetes,hypertension, and heart disease to name a few...regardless those are all underlying conditions that contribute significantly to covid deaths...1 study says up to 99% of all covid deaths have been in people with pre-existing conditions
