[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at sleep-away camp.  Camp is running at 50% and is entirely outside except for ventilated/screen window cabins.  The kids are in groups of 6 in the cabins.  Activities are distanced and cabin groups are kept from one another 
(doesn't sound much like camp at this rate but that's another story).

Upon return to DC would you have kid skip soccer practice for 2 weeks? 
Soccer practice is of course also "distanced".  
Thoughts?

So to answer your question, yes your kid should absolutely stay away form team practice for two weeks. And also know how stupid you are. [/quote]

Oh, logic and shaming don't help and that is why we are at this point as a nation.

Denying and posting narrative pieces won't bring soccer back either, only lower numbers.

Lower the numbers and we can play. Don't do the necessary things and we'll see you here later complaining about the fall season being cancelled.

Seriously, major college sports are delaying entire seasons and you are going to post a article about shaming? Do your effing part. [/quote]

Uh, yeah, I did, and I do, probably a lot more than you.  The suggestions on not shaming obviously did not take so I will be more directly:

1.  Based on your rants and raves, you might serve the public interest by taking more risks, not fewer. We would all be better off.

2.  All kidding aside, staying at home pushes out the achievement of herd immunity and put a lot of people out of work, some unavoidably, others avoidably. So drop the facile and banal conceptions of common good. In other words, maybe move on from checkers to chess in your thinking if it doesn’t hurt your brain.

3.  In that connection, exactly how does staying home and away from the virus not also in your own self-interest?  Are you saying that we don’t really need to alter our behavior to reduce deaths?  Or are you saying that you would otherwise risk death more, but for the common good, you are risking death less to . . . risk less death?  Perhaps a little self-serving after all?

4. You seem to be saying that we should all play less soccer now, so we can play more soccer this fall?  Huh?  Everything you’ve said makes that no less foolish in the fall. The virus will be present, no vaccine will be available, and we will all still be scratching our heads about whether it is safe to go back into the water.

Or maybe you just don’t like sleep away camps or people named Mr Weinstein.
