It's probably closer to six million than six.

I get it, it's a new virus, and vulnerable populations can get very sick or worse, but for the majority of the population, catching this has a wide range of no to severe short term, but not life threatening, illness.

It's a new virus that has entered the mix of all the things that can make you really sick or kill you, but it's not the only one. Life is full of risk.
Yeah, this isn't going anywhere. I'll live my life the way I choose, which means I'll make sure to eliminate as much risk as possible that could kill or seriously hurt anyone else, like by wearing a mask. I'll continue to ride my mountain bike and take all the other risks I deem acceptable, but I'm still wearing a helmet to mitigate as much risk as I can. Those idiots who won't wear a mask I'll steer clear of as often as possible. And keep them away from my kid and wife.
 
And you’ve got the ins with all the local bars that let you stay past 10 PM too!!

Yep me and my father in law will be at the one we know tomorrow night for the game against Unc which tips at 9.
 
I honestly have no idea what you’re even talking about, or the meaning of your analogy.
Sure you do. You're smarter than CuseRunner.
 
Most people die of more than one thing. It's called having comorbidities. Insee with the vast majority of my patients. People with heart disease often also have diabetes or copd. Having one doesn't discredit the other(s). Covid is the only situation where I have heard that argument. Your logic is illogical.

And those people need to manage their risk differently than folks that don't. And still you can do everything right, and the people around you can, and a highly contagious virus can still find a way to infect you.
 
It's more serious than a lot of other stuff. It just is. That is not up for debate. All of the science points to it.

And there's a lot of disease and behaviors that are more serious.

Like watching Syracuse and buffalo football overall for the last 20 years?
 
This seems like a good deal, just sayin'

SOLID post of the year contender
 
Wonder if woody and Kadary were impacted. Would also explain some of the bigs not playing
Good point. COVID affects different people differently. Some infections are more severe than others, and we'll probably never know exactly what symptoms or manifestations they had, if any. But it's best to be cautious.

For example, a potentially-fatal heart condition called myocarditis (an inflammation of the heart muscle) can be triggered by COVID. According to this NPR article, Florida forward Keyontae Johnson, who collapsed during a game in December, had COVID and was later diagnosed with myocarditis. The article doesn't say definitively that Johnson's myocarditis was caused by his COVID or something else, but in either case, he's done for at least this season. So it's best to be cautious.
 
There are? Far as I can see, it's the 3rd leading cause of death for last year. Seems pretty serious.

The discussion was regarding kids playing college basketball, not 80 year olds in nursing homes.

What about the nearly 80 year olds coaching those kids? Those, and 40-60 year old refs running up and down the court with the kids. Way more layers to this issue than whether or not a few 20 year olds might get it and have a heart condition that causes them to pass out on the floor.

I'm done now though. Feel like I'm being way more argumentative than I had intended because I'm so done with this as well.

It can be triggered by many inflammatory diseases.
If a kid gets it, it should be part of clearing the player for action knowing that can happen to run tests that check for the condition.

So what's your suggestion, shut it all down, or let those coaches, refs and players choose what they want to expose themselves to.

Nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to do something they aren't comfortable with.
