    Moderate Risk vs High Risk

    The NFHS has listed football, wrestling and lacrosse as the sports with the highest risk of transmitting COVID-19; cross country, swimming, golf and individual running and throwing events in track and field as the lowest risk. All the rest are moderate risk, although baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, gymnastics could be considered lower risk with proper cleaning of equipment and use of masks.

    What does this mean for soccer this fall?

    It means we wait until phase 4 to play soccer games and there will be lots of hand washing. It means no football, lacrosse or wrestling until spring. Moderate sports will resume with caution. Sadly I don’t see Friday Night Lights, lacrosse or wrestling happening until a vaccine.

      You think the governor's office will consider this guidance? Of course not, because everyone just "knows" that soccer has the same contact level as lacrosse and football. [/s]

        Here are guidelines for sports reopening.

        https://ext.band.us/survey_file_root/upload/NFHS-BAND_Opening_Guidelines.pdf

        Soccer is moderate Risk we should be fine for fall games.
        Football, cheerleading, and wrestling likely cancelled or moved to spring.

        But if everyone acts like a fool and continues protests, large gatherings and parties without masks covering their faces we won’t have sports, school, work etc.

          Mass now moderate risk sport

          So why did RI move soccer from moderate risk to high, and Mass move it from high to moderate? CT, NY, MA all say soccer is moderate and planning full game schedule for fall. Has RI moved us back to moderate. So much misinformation out there and decisions for the fall are being made. If anyone knows anything about if we are now moderate or high please post the link to clear up.

            According to the link above NFHS has always listed soccer as moderate risk.
            https://ext.band.us/survey_file_root/upload/NFHS-BAND_Opening_Guidelines.pdf
            But some in RI started a rumor it was high risk.
            This should be cleared up so kids in high school can have sports especially in RI where we have a better handle over the virus.

              In Gina's press conference a couple weeks back, it sounded like scrimmages were OK but soccer games in RI would have to wait. Has there been any update to this?

                  Gina has a fight on her hands trying to get school back in person. I'm guessing she's not going to spend time worrying about moving sports forward any further for a while.

                    She's pretty amazing being able to juggle so many things at once. Don't forget that she has children too. She wants kids to have sports and a childhood that is healthy. She has been balancing everything like a pro I think she will cover sports if the right people advocate for it.

                      "She's pretty amazing.."?? Really?? Let's not take this discussion in another direction. We are all concerned with soccer and the kids. Not everyone sees things the way you do.

                        Not the OP, but the governor seems to have a pretty tough job at the moment. I was no big fan of the governor before this pandemic, but she doesn't seem to be doing too shabby.

                          Why can't these two governors get on the same page?

                          Ohhhhhhh I see our Governor still hasn't moved soccer from high risk to moderate.
                          Let's get this straight.
                          MA:
                          Soccer is a Moderate risk sport.
                          We can't travel to MA.

                          RI:
                          Soccer is a High risk sport.
                          MA can travel to us.

                          So Baker understands that soccer is moderate. ok good.
                          Gina knows nothing about soccer and SUPERLIGA won't explain to her that we are moderate and why. So since Gina knows nothing AND Superliga could careless we stay high risk...
                          Baker says we can't play in his state... something is so off here. I cannot make sense of it.
                          Why can't these two governors get on the same page?

                              Mis-c

                              Although severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in children are generally mild and non-fatal, there is increasing recognition of a paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2, also known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) associated with COVID-19, herein referred to as MIS-C, which can lead to serious illness and long-term side-effects

                              Clinical and laboratory features of MIS-C are similar to those of Kawasaki disease, Kawasaki disease shock syndrome, and toxic shock syndrome, but the disorder has some distinct features, and it needs a clear clinical and pathophysiological definition

                              MIS-C might be distinct from Kawasaki disease, with features including an age at onset of more than 7 years, a higher proportion of African or Hispanic children affected, and diffuse cardiovascular involvement suggestive of a generalised immune-mediated disease

                              Pathophysiology of MIS-C is still unclear and possible mechanisms include antibody or T-cell recognition of self-antigens (viral mimicry of the host) resulting in autoantibodies, antibody or T-cell recognition of viral antigens expressed on infected cells, formation of immune complexes which activate inflammation, and viral superantigen sequences which activate host immune cells

                              Most cases of MIS-C associated with COVID-19 were managed following the standard protocols for Kawasaki disease, with inotropic or vasoactive agents often required in patients with cardiac dysfunction and hypotension and anticoagulation also used frequently; clinical research is required to prove the effectiveness and safety of these treatments

                              The medium-term to long-term outcomes of MIS-C, such as the sequelae of coronary artery aneurysm formation, remain unknown and close follow-up is important
