    Returning college kids from hot spots will kill fall soccer

    The Provincetown II, M Street Beach, parties in Chatham and the lifeguards in Falmouth have the positivity rate in Massachusetts up to 2.0 again.

    Once the mass migration of seltzer swilling college kids from other states rolls into the Bay State we'll see the positivity rate get uncomfortably high.

    That elevated rate will dump us right back into Phase 2.

    You heard it here first.

      It’s at 2.6% and rising. We had been in the 1.7%-1.9% range for several weeks.

      It is the percentage of people that test positive. Things don’t look promising.

        Enough already. Everyone knows what the numbers represent. The media and government really have you thinking we are in trouble. Kinda comical. 6 months ago you had no idea what that number meant. Do you realize how low the numbers are? It is no longer considered a pandemic. Doesn’t meet the criteria. Stop this bs

          I feel badly for you. You’re in for a really tough fall and winter.

            Why? How long you want us to stay locked up? How long do you want our kids to be out of sports and school? U realize that this virus will never go away? What’s going to be different in 6 months? NOTHING

              At nearly all schools students coming from hot spot states have to quarantine for two weeks. Unlike a typical traveler that can get away with skipping that, schools are going to enforce it. Nearly all will be testing students regularly too and have made arrangements for isolating positive students. For many learning is all on line or just a few in person classes with distancing etc. Schools do not want to have to send students home again. They very much want this controlled as much as they can.

              Then there's the parties....

                Unfortunately with our current national leadership, you are probably right. But if you could get the number down close to 1 percent, you could implement a national test and trace policy, and then you could open things up. It’s pretty basic science, but the idiot in Washington refuses to follow a reasonable path.

                  Like I said, I feel badly for you.

                    Again. I ask the question you won’t answer. How long do you want our kids out of school? Not that hard to do. If you want our numbers below 1, you and I both have no idea if that will ever happen.

                      Normally test and trace should be done locally. However when you have governors that don't believe in it....Dade County FL wanted to hire several hundred tracers but the state squashed it, said only they could do it. The state then didn't hire anyone extra.

                        Below 1, like they have managed to achieve in Europe? Even though the EU is bigger than the USA? It simply requires a coherent plan, but we don’t have one.

                          Europe is far more diverse and varied than America - multiple languages, cultures, economies etc. which makes it more remarkable that they're in gar better shape than us. Leadership, belief in science, common goals. We don't have that here.

                              The idiot is you on TS. Why aren't you in office directing things if it is so easy? Because it isn't.
                              We are on a reasonable path.
                              Stay in your basement with your dim witted leader of the mole people.
