[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they are at risk in absolutely everything they do.  The question is whether the incremental risk outweighs the likely benefit of activity.  The thought process is straightforward.  There is a threshold question of the risk for children (and a particular child, given comorbidities) in getting it and developing serious health problems.  There is an additional question about the incremental risk that playing soccer games creates relative to other risks for transmission, including (1) leaving the house, (2) walking in public places, (3) going on playdates, and (4) going to school.  Then there is another question about how this incremental risk compares to the risk of getting in a car on a road with other cars, etc.  Then there is the question of whether the slight slight slight slight incremental risk is outweighed the benefit.  Or so a rational thinker would go through the inquiry.  It's kids, so people can be forgiven for not thinking clearly through the risks, especially about their own children.  We are living our lives sensibly but actively.  But we also let our children zipline, go into the ocean, climb/hike.  [/quote]

no mention of the risk of carrying it to many adults. [/quote]

Right, but how is that risk different than the risk arising from any of the other activities?  Does soccer increase the risk of retransmission?  Dont be obtuse.[/quote]

Also, note the question and the top of the thread, and also, how are those many adults getting exposed to the kids unless they are not practicing social distancing. The rest of us are not putting our lives on hold because somebody somewhere feels like a soccer game increases their risk of getting sick from opening their mail. It is stupidity in the extreme.
