Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3385471, member: 27"] I don’t want to minimize this. This pandemic is the biggest challenge our generation will face. It is our World War. Finding the path to normalcy is not going to be easy. There was rationing, chronic shortages and a lot of personal sacrifice when the country faced the world wars and our ancestors found their way though it. I think our country will find a way through this too. From what I have read about the virus, if you are at a point where you have a high fever, it is unlikely you are going to want to attend a football game. Maybe this could be a problem in Alabama for diehard fans trying to get into the Iron Bowl. I think people here that are not feeling well are going to decide it is better to watch a home game against Colgate, or Georgia Tech or whoever on TV rather than in person. I think the temp check is going to find few if any people and its purpose is more for making the people that go feel a little safer (and convincing people who do not feel great that it is not worth it to go to the game and get rejected at the gate). At my company, we have been doing infrared team checks on every employee every day for close to 2 months now. Over 500 employees. So far, there have been no temp check fails. If I did my math right, that is around 0 for 20,000. If we start opening things up and people start acting irresponsibly, and do things suggested in this thread, like taking their mandatory masks off inside the arena, or trying to force their way into games with fevers, all it will do is shut down the opening process and put us in a worse place. I think people will do the right thing and take this seriously. Yes, there will probably be a handful of idiots that will refuse to comply to some of the new rules. I think if nothing else, the public will self police these people and make sure things are okay. I am a glass half full kind of guy. I am optimistic. The fact I am even thinking I will be attending games this fall shows that. Hopefully this generation will step up and do what is needed to make this thing go away. I think there will be some missteps, but it will happen. I sure hope so. [/QUOTE]
