This isn’t a new thing.  Kids started doing sports in June when phase 2 opened in the county either through clubs or camps and there has been no outbreak reported.[b]  This past week,  the country applied a new restriction  on an activity (soccer)  previously allowed[/b].  There are not other incidences of this that I am aware of with regards to other businesses etc [/quote]

This a very good point. The fact that it was allowed,  then removed while allowing additional indoor activities. [/quote]

Though it should say county.. not country. [/quote]

I'm cautious in my approach to COVID, but I have not seen any sports-specific research regarding youth sports, and frankly, I'm not convinced that outdoor soccer poses much of a risk. Counties surrounding Montgomery  County, including Howard and Anne Arundel, returned to full play in June, with restrictions (health checks, social distancing on the sidelines, coaches wearing masks, no parents). Maryland teams played in soccer tournaments in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and I have yet to hear of any outbreaks associated with any of those events (or even of any cases).

Every public health official I have seen discussing youth sports (not including football), has said that the risk of contracting COVID caused by playing soccer outdoors is small. The risk comes from activities surrounding youth sports, including hanging out, travel, tailgating, etc. Even with a sport that seems higher risk, like football, the documented cases in which there have been outbreaks seem more related to indoor weight workouts.

You definitely have a lot in common with the White House, then. They are still not convinced about COVID-19 yet either. [/quote]

What youth sports/soccer-related research underlies your comment...or is this just a hit and run?[/quote]

Exactly like the White House......coming up with your own spin on every research, data and healthcare recommendations.

This is the reason why the US is leading the world with COVID-19 infections and deaths. [/quote]
