[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is interesting is that the pro leagues in Europe are playing and not having a lot of issues. That gives some hope and something to point to. I actually now think that if high school cancels all fall sports that travel sports may continue and thrive as the only athletic, competitive outlet for youth. Maybe not football, but all the rest. Saw girls playing a softball game the other day, baseball and soccer practices, etc. maybe this will just end up being the death knell for HS sports and everything moves to travel where there is more freedom and choice and less govt. involvement and risk.

Europe is now enjoying their dessert because they ate their vegetables. We have not done what is necessary to be in a place where pro leagues can play properly.

Europe will go back through this in the winter. Don’t kid yourself. This isn’t the brownie/cookie test. You think the virus cannot return in full to Europe when they lift lockdown? Nobody I know in Europe thinks they are eating dessert right now. [/quote]

In fact, there is an emerging argument that we can get to herd immunity faster proceeding as we do now (though some states and individuals must certainly do better). New articles suggesting that you can hit herd immunity at much lower percentages with this virus so long as some distancing and restrictions remain in place (no bars, sporting events, concerts). Yes, I know all the nonsense about the absence of definitive proof about immunity after infection but I have not seen any convincing evidence to the contrary, and if there were, it’s hard to understand the vaccine efforts.

Per a report out a few days ago, only about 1% of the US population is infected. So it will take a heck of a long time to get herd immunity. [/quote]

Currently known infected, yes. You are ignoring those already infected and recovered as well as many who were never tested. Estimates range up to 10 times number of known infections. If 20-30% is the threshold, and if the actual infections are significantly higher than known infections, we will get there pretty fast. The dramatic declines in cases in NY suggest something like this. [/quote]

You are dumb and people who think like are why we are still in the mess we are while the rest of the world, who acknowledged the threat and took proper steps to communicated and mitigate the risks are going about their lives right now.

If you want to get back to normal stop quoting stupid lines like "only 1% fatality" as if mortality was the only issue with this virus.
