Report to whom? For what violation of law? With the expectation of what consequence? I am not condoning the underlying behavior, but I think you are in the wrong time and place of you think this kind of thing works. Or should work.

I guess you could report to the field owner. I suspect if you are issued a permit to use the field you are obligated to follow the rules the permit holder establishes.

Or leave it

If Northam follow the date (which he hasn't been doing) then Virginia should be Phase 3 by end of next week. We'll see.

Even California is easing restrictions and that state's leadership has its head further up its behind than folks in the DMV. Many states are already back on the field. The Big East announced its soccer plans for the Fall. JefCup is in August as is SD Surf Cup.

Somehow I think state health departments are not prioritizing the potential soccer career of your 8th grader the way you think they should.

You moron. The point is that other parts of the country are returning to the field and other activities. The inside the beltway is the one of the only parts of the country still in lockdown. If you pulled your head out and looked outside the bubble, you would see that the work, even Europe, is returning to normal. That should indicate that your bubble should also begging returning to normal.

No Europe is not "normal" and they are following much more detailed and restrictive opening rules. The US is a free for all. Because morons like you have to have your kid play soccer. It's a global health crisis. A public health event. The other parts of the country you reference are going up in numbers. You're spouting crap with no data.

Depends on the 2nd wave

While COVID-19 numbers in our area is still going down, a lot of other states‘ (FL, TX, CA, etc.) numbers are dramatically increasing. And the CDC is expecting 150,000 deaths from now until the end of July.

Hence, based upon this, what do you think our local leaders will do? Will they continue to open things up or contract based upon fear of a second wave?

I do not know other counties, but montegomery county will be the last one to open up for sure as the county executive is very afraid of cov19. In today conference, he indicated he want to see the case number near 0 to consider phrase 3:

I don’t think anyone wants to be in the situation that FL, Tx, etc. are in right now especially MoCo.

Once they play for a month or so and no dramatic increase in Covid in the player population, people will cite this and return to play. The real linchpin is school however. If schools stay mostly remote for the fall, then travel soccer may be doomed for a while.

We’ll know in 10 days after the massive protests, many of the protesters wore masks. If we don’t get a massive spike from there or Memorial Day Weekend in general, masks may prove to be quite effective in allowing people to be out and more normal.

However, a huge spike could also send us back into quarantine.

Marks aren't effective in close-contact games like soccer or football. The pros are already getting sick.

At least one-quarter of LSU’s football team was in quarantine this week because of virus-related concerns, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated, but that number is continuously fluctuating based on test results. At least 30 of LSU's 115 players have been isolated because they tested positive for COVID-19 or were found to have had contact with those who tested positive.

On Wednesday, 48 hours before a Russian Premier League soccer match, six players from FC Rostov tested positive for the coronavirus.

Any of the football teams in the south - Clemson (30+ players), LSU are just as likely due to the virus spreading everywhere in the college towns and no social distancing anywhere. We know folks in Clemson and It’s everywhere in Clemson They are finally closing the bars that were very crowded. It doesn’t dismiss the issue at all - it’s just right now in the south, I’m not sure you could confidently point to the root cause. And unless you keep them in a true bubble - it will spread even if they would theoretically wear masks at practice.

Definitely. I’m much less confident about our return.
