[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basketball and Futsal and soccer and flag football are all outside for my boys this winter.

I would NOT send them to play any sports inside.[/quote]

There's no evidence that there is any significant danger to children from indoor activities whether school or physical activities and considerable evidence that there is neither significant danger to children nor much risk for them passing it on to others - especially younger children in the latter regard.

That's the actual science - the real science - rather than the relentless nonsense fear porn peddled by the press.

So I wouldn't worry at all about signing your child up for an indoor sport.  Nevertheless - if you are concerned - which is understandable given the general hysteria - it should be very easy to find an outdoor alternative as a great many outdoor options are being organized all over the place.  So while I would perfectly happily send my kids to indoor training, my DS is in fact doing everything outdoors as nothing at all is being offered indoors where we are.[/quote]

What utter tripe.  How on earth do they know how those people got covid - of course they don;t.  This is totally unscientific nonsense.[/quote]

What planet are you on? That is the contact tracing from the Ottawa Public Health department. It's documented and traced, even to the point of genetic mapping of the virus.

I mean seriously. Go back to the Capitol and smash some windows or something...[/quote]

And tell me how contact tracing works or proves anything?  Use your brain.  How can I possibly know where someone picked up the virus?  People interact with many other people.  Just because I happened to pass close to the individual being "contact traced" doesn't mean I got it from him.  I might have caught it from dozens of other people.  The tracers don't know / can't know - and that map is pure BS.[/quote]

If you read the notes in that tracing example above it sounds like those people were not following best practices that could have prevented this spread and show other ways the spread could have happened.  "Masks were not commonly worn during practice, people carpooled with teammates outside their household, and people mingled outside practice without masks or social distancing".  The carpool example is enough for a serious spread and shows the players/families may not have been following safe practices.  It's definitely a risk having a covid person interacting with other players and is a risk for anyone participating.  However, it could have been avoided with simple measures to prevent an infected person spreading further.[/quote]
