Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI am by no means a COVID denier. Wear our masks, follow the Governors guidelines, telework, etc. That being said the statement, “many of those deaths could have been avoided” is absolutely not exclusive to COVID. Many traffic related deaths could avoided by instituting a 45mph interstate speed limit, diabetes could be avoided by outlawing HFCS, heart disease could be avoided by banning fast food. Obesity? Tax people based on their BMI. Don’t even start with tobacco and alcohol, immediate prohibition. All of those examples are legal because of simple economics and a cost benefit analysis. COVID is nearly the same. Two weeks to “flatten the curve” is what we told people 9 months ago yet Inslee in his last press conference said the efforts of Washingtonians was successful and worked, but...we are immediately back in this situation. At some point people outside of the high risk populations aren’t going to put up with it anymore because the cost for “ME” isn’t worth the benefit of “WE.”

We can go to Boise. We can go to Phoenix. We can go to Texas. We can go to Florida. The problem is my kid can’t play a game on the field 3 minutes away from the house.

Santa Clara County bans contact sports and now their colleges and pro teams will travel to Arizona and PNW to train and play. Ban likely to continue into 2021.

welp 2 families ona team of 16 have notified that they have covid. One of them was at practice this week. Welcome to the Thanksgiving covd bump :( With the numbers where they are at if there's 4 teams training on a field there's a 100% chance someone out there has active covid. 20 kids on your team practicing together 20% chance. Stay safe folks, why the risk when we aren't even playing games. Guess we'll find out if those breathable sports masks do anything to stop the spread.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou are free to disagree, but merely calling their posts “BS” or “disinfo” isn’t the most solid argument. The last couple of posters have used crazy things like data and statistics.
Data is only useful if you use it correctly and understand what you're using - neither occurred here.
