[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is still correct and any person in a position of leadership including POTUS, Gov, Mator. The entire point of the lockdown was to control the spread so that we can get the economy back up. Now that we ae more than a month end, there is real damage to the economy and going much past May 1st is not going to happen, even in NYC. Now what that means for soccer is another issue but sports are part of the economy. Youth sports will get back up and running at some point this summer. [/quote]

If kids can be in school, they can certainly play outside. Whether you want to take any risk is up to you. But it seems a little nutty to think kids will go to school, but schools won’t let them play at recess. Why would youth sports be on hold while classes continue?  I don’t care about youth sports but I actually do care about people having a reasoned, well-defined view of relative risks and costs. Or understanding that nobody is saying that youth sports is essential. It’s not, and that is why it is shut down now. If lockdown lifts, there are a variety of nonessential activities that will be available, even if they aren’t to your household. [/quote]

I doubt kids will even go back to school in the Fall.  You have to come to terms with nothing will be normal for a long time.  yes, we need to open up the communities again, but these declarations by unreliable govt officials don't mean that people will go back to their normal routines. Even if businesses open up, restaurant business will be a fraction of what it used to be, nails, massage parlors, salons, gyms, etc.  A fraction will be going to concerts, arenas, conventions, airplanes, trains, hotels....just because they are open, doesn't mean they will be used.  It's still up to the people and I don't think most of the people are ready to do this stuff yet.  That's why I don't think soccer or sports in general will be back to normal until probably next Spring.  Remember, opening up the communities will bring another spike in people getting getting sick, which will increase the amount of fear again.  There will be an ebb and flow for months.  I don't see how a consistent soccer season fits into that ebb and flow of fear and panic.[/quote]

Did I miss the memo on why Germans, Danes, and others are somehow immune such that their returning of children to schools does not raise any of these issues?  We all know this.  You are not educating anybody.  You can be aware of the same facts and draw different inferences about what can and should be next.  [/quote]
