[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington parent here - i have been very happy with how they have managed practices. A few outliers in terms of coaches and kids and parents - but mostly all very good (the three young DA boys who showed up for a srimmage last weekend and all slapped hands upon arrivel and then spread out 6 feet really did make me want to scratch my head though....) I think a lot is being set by tone - our coach is very good about keepng the boys spreadout when he is talking to them - which sets a good tone and example.[/quote]

I wish the coach would take temperatures before practice/games and not rely on the players to self police. I really doubt every player is checking their own temperature before practice/scrimmage/games. [/quote]

Fever is not always a symptom. Taking temperatures is pointless. [/quote]

80% of people with coronavirus have a fever. So no it is not pointless but your post shows people like you will not comply with the simplest of instructions. I bet the kid or his parents did not test before the scrimmage/games. Now 2 teams are out for 2 weeks. Thanks! You sound like a great person.[/quote]

This doesn't worry me too much.  People with fevers feel pretty ill.  I can see this being useful at airports for exampe where people may attempt journeys in this condition - but I can't imagine kids with fevers going to practise - they'd be feeling too sick to want to go.  When I was growing up my mum had a thermometer to check that I was really ill when I wanted to skip school.  I recall plenty of times when I was told that I didn't have a fever so I would be going to school.  I don't recall any times where my mum needed to take my temperature to stop me going to school because I was sick but still wanted to go.[/quote]

No a lot of people with a fever from coronavirus do not feel sick. When the virus gets into the chest they become very sick. Most kids go to practice feeling a little off and they will play game sick. I have seen it.

So it seems not many of the Arlington parents are checking their kids for fever before practice or games. Good to know. What other polices and rules do you feel you know better about?[/quote]

I don't think you're correct here.  Asympmtomatic carriers may not feel ill, but people with fevers feel ill because the fever itself is responsible for symtpoms such as muscle aches, headache, chills, lightheadeness etc.

In any event I agree with the people who point out that it's easy to take a kid's temperature and it can't do any harnm to take it, and I'm certainly not suggesting that people shouldn't take temperatures - I'm just pointing out that kids with temperatures are going to be feeling ill and very unlikely to attend practise anyway - so this is amongst the least of my worries.[/quote]
