Girls are a lot more vulnerable than boys.  My concern is primarily the airborne nature of the virus.  The helmets the boys wear will at least provide some air disruption around their faces.  Running hard / breathing hard will increase the chance of the spread of the virus from asymptomatic players.  This will occur quite easily because there is a lot of close play in lax as we all know and observe at every practice and game.

Even though kids on the teams are usually outstanding athletes and in great health condition, so the virus is not quite as deadly dangerous to them, there are players with unknown underlying health conditions.  It would be heartbreaking if practicing or playing in a game caused them to catch the virus and die.[/quote]

I disagree.

First, no proof helmets disrupt the airflow..actually that sounds kind of ridiculous.

Second, boys wear gear like gloves, pads, helmets which are exposed during play.  With all the contact, these items will need to be sanitized each and every time they play...I doubt people will adhere.

Third, girls lacrosse is not nearly as aggressive as boys, so less contact.

Girls and boys are equally vulnerable.

First, it's actually ridiculous you think it's ridiculous. You don't have to be an aerodynamics engineer to figure out a 5 lb object covering appx 80% of a surface area doesn't disrupt airflow.

Second, if you are a parent not washing your kid's gear regularly then you should look in the mirror. That awful smell coming out of the gear bag is a clue. How about just keeping a spray bottle of tilex with bleach handy.

And to the pp, in the state of MD there are no deaths attributed to those under the age of 18 so it's not that it's not as dangerous, it's statistically not dangerous. And that's not only in MD but across the country.

If you are so worried about the chance of someone playing or practicing or living in the world and dying from contraction, you should safely stay inside until a vaccine becomes available at your neighborhood CVS.

So much anger?  The quarantine clearly has effected your psyche.

Everyone knows people don't sterilize gear after each and every practice and game.  Yes, this will need to change.  But to definitively state that girls are at more risk than boys is, as I said, RIDICULOUS.[/quote]

It's not anger, it's responding to stupidity.

Neither girls or boys are statistically at risk. Here's the link to age related deaths in MD https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/[/quote]
