Agreed! Unless numbers reverse, which isn’t going to be likely with testing expanding rapidly daily, we may all be optimistically predicting to have a season period. We have been fortunate to see football season proceed imo.MasterOfNone wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 8:20 am I don’t think they get started on time. I would say it will be 2021 before the first ball gets tipped off for a regular season game. Hopefully I’m wrong, but it just seems to be trending that way. I wouldn’t be surprised if schools are either urged to or told to go virtual from Thanksgiving until after the first of the year. After football is over, I think contact sports especially, gets put on hold thru the Holiday season.
I'll agree. That sounds just about right.MasterOfNone wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 1:48 pm I don’t think the season gets canceled entirely. I don’t see it being played until sometime in January or February tho. Very well could be a conference only/reduced regular season.
IMO, come next week more restrictions will be put in place as far as what is open. And I also believe schools will be learning remotely from Thanksgiving until about a week after New Years. So I would say if they recommend or make schools do that, then they won’t be any games played at least in that time frame. I think with the cases being how they are right now, the state has to start putting restrictions back on at least in certain areas. Especially because they know that almost everyone will be going to larger gatherings for the holidays and no matter what recommendations they give out saying not to, they are not going to stop people from doing so. But as of right now, I see a delayed season not a canceled one.
If we don’t completely lock everything down for 3 weeks and I mean everything OR allow people to go about their business and let herd immunity take place then we will just keep reliving this same nightmare. By semi closing things down randomly it’s just allowing the virus to hang around. If they apply more restriction the virus will still live on and then when they release the restrictions and let more people out the cases will rise again. rinse and repeatMasterOfNone wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 1:48 pm I don’t think the season gets canceled entirely.

I know it may have sounded like I think they should shut everything down, I was speaking from the POV of the state. I don’t believe shutting everything down is the answer necessarily, just assuming that is what’s coming. But also, as many people as I see out in southern Ohio not wearing a mask is getting pretty high. Do masks work? Idk. But it is a super simple rule to follow and people can’t seem to do it.mlittle wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 3:26 pmIf we don’t completely lock everything down for 3 weeks and I mean everything OR allow people to go about their business and let herd immunity take place then we will just keep reliving this same nightmare.

I don’t think it’s the answer either but neither are masks. 85% of people who tested positive for covid have admitted to wearing a mask most of the time or all of the time. These gators and scarfs and cheap masks were never gonna stop the virus or even slow it down for that matter. They should have issued the N95 to at risk and elderly (which does block in and out) and let the rest of us be.MasterOfNone wrote: ↑Fri Nov 13, 2020 9:14 amI know it may have sounded like I think they should shut everything down, I was speaking from the POV of the state.
