I read threads from Recent Topics and have observed that there are more pro-opening-at-all-costs posters on the Soccer Forum than any other, even in Health and Medicine or Politics, where people battle it out every day.

Are any soccer parents concerned about balancing safety and continuing the sport? Do any understand that close contact will contribute to creating clusters?

Gee.  We never thought of that.  See 90,000 other posts on this in these soccer threads.  The problem is that there is no "balance" in those who think that we cannot take any risks in resuming life because they may create clusters.  If you are back to school indoors, even with distancing, there should be no problem with playing outdoors.  In the first study examining the outbreaks in China, teams of researchers found 318 outbreaks of three or more people (clusters) between January 4 and February 11.  NOT ONE ORIGINATED OUTDOORS.  Is there no risk?  I don't think anybody can say there is no risk.  Is the risk low relative to multiple other risks in our daily lives outside of outdoor soccer?  Yes.  How about the risk for kids relative to others?  Yes, very very low compared to others involving an activity that is very very very low risk for adults in an activity where there has been no identified outbreak germinus.  So in balancing the incremental risk of this versus all else, do we stay in?  Are you nuts? [/quote]
