[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, will we?  A week long camp cancelling due to a covid case, yes for sure.  Soccer season (if we have it) due to a case?   Where do we draw the line?  We need to be isolating and tracing.

Hope they are able to give refunds. [/quote]

Nowhere in this country is doing isolating and tracing at the level that needs to be done to control this outbreak. With testing now 5-7 days behind isolate and trace is just a sound bite. [/quote]

So is this. Let’s stop dancing around the issue and be clear. You want us to lock down again until a vaccine is widely available, correct?  If not, what are the specific, objective criteria that should determine whether full practices and scrimmmages are appropriate?[/quote]

There is a middle ground between lockdown and full practices/scrimmages.  In Phase 2, they can still practice and keep up on skills and passing.  Phase 3 is appropriate when there is not a lot of community spread AND methods of isolating and tracing.  Here in the DC area, right now, cases are relatively consistent and under control.  Adding in scrimmaging definitely increases exposure.  But as long as community spread is low, it is manageable.

What I'm really struggling with is how we think that we are going to have tournaments in the fall.  I can see one game on a weekend because, again, it is still manageable.  But multiple teams from more distant locations with 3 or 4 games?  I just don't see how that can happen.[/quote]

Other sports have already managed to hold tournaments. It is possible.[/quote]

Reopening southern states was possible.  See what happened?[/quote]
