In what counties? That league also has Oregon teams in counties where numbers are high. -

We just saw one of the Oregon teams is in a zip code with one of the highest Covid counts in Oregon. Is that why they aren’t playing in their own local association? ***?Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

The CDC has weekly and cumulative reports of excess deaths (the number or percentage by which actual deaths exceed the number of expected deaths for a given time period). According to that data, the number of excess deaths was substantial through August but has been declining since (with few if any excess deaths for the past few weeks) -- although the numbers may go back up with the latest spike and as lagging data becomes available.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
The state level data is interesting. Washington is at 107% of expected deaths for the year, vis-à-vis 112% nationwide. So we've done significantly better than the country overall and most states. But quite a few states have managed to keep excess deaths under control with far fewer restraints on various activities, including school and youth sports. Some of those include North Carolina (88% of expected deaths), West Virginia (86%), Ohio (105%), Utah (109%), Oklahoma (103%), and Missouri (105%) (some relatively open states like Texas (117%), Arizona (125%) and Florida (116%) also have some of the worst numbers). And some of the worst numbers are in states that shut down as much or more than WA and did so early on: New York (120%), Massachusetts (117%), Maryland (118%). While the state's stay at home policies surely saved lives early on when hospitals were overwhelmed, identified cases were concentrated in people most at risk, and no one had figured out how to treat the disease, it's not clear that our current mix of policies is saving lives relative to the somewhat less restrictive policies currently in place in many states.

Are all games in Pierce and King counties cancelled this weekend?Comment

Yes it appears so. Things will be closed for at least 2 weeks. Most people believe soccer will not be starting up after the 2 weeks. So the season is done.Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
Honestly even next season, Spring 2021 is questionable.Comment

Best case scenario for Washington kids, assuming that Biden and Inslee both win, is that Inslee accepts a cabinet position and whoever is elected as Lt. Gov acts like 45 other governors in the country. Soccer in WA won’t return as we know it as long as Inslee is Governor until a vaccine is both available and effective. Cases will only get worse throughout the winter and, even if hospitalizations and deaths decrease, Inslee is more likely to tighten restrictions vs. loosen. I still don’t believe cases per 100k is a valid metric for outdoor youth sports, it Jay Inslee does so...Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Good try sound, but that's not how it works. Rules clearly state it's based on where players reside. Not on where the organization claims its office is. Otherwise every king county club could just rent a cheap office in Snohomish and start holding games.
Their office is in Woodinville, the majority of their players reside in king county. I'm sure they'll be shut down soon too.Comment

He would have been better off keeping it closed. Rather than play with kids emotions. Hey kids here is a taste, oh you liked it now I am going to take it away again. I don’t want to hear anyone say they care about kids mental health. They just don’t.Comment
