[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are several zoom style meetings between clubs going on over next few days:
concept is forming mini leagues to play mini seasons amongst them once all clear
you can read that as proactive to benefit kids or proactive to avoid refunds

Stupid.

Best article:

We are all Group B and need to adhere to it

I don’t think that conclusion follows. We are not going to be locked down for 12-18 months and cannot get herd immunity if we are. We cannot possibly spend a years worth of federal budget (including defense) per month of social distancing for more than two months. You would spend the equivalent of eight to ten years of federal expenditures to distance socially until the earliest possible vaccine. Not to mention that states and local governments will have no revenues and therefore no services. Lockdown til vaccine is a rich persons fantasy and luxury. Most businesses and employees don’t want a check from the federal government until we come up with a vaccine (even if they get one on time, which looks doubtful). So we should all distance until the surge is over, testing is available, and data about transmission, mortality and acuity are more available. But we also need to realize the plastic bubble does not eliminate the virus. Something more surgical is necessary. And yes, that means people will be playing soccer in two or three months even if your children are not. [/quote]

People do not know how bad this is going to be in 1-2 months because it’s unprecedented.  Nobody will be able to get routine healthcare and god forbid an accident or something else requires a loved one to access a hospital when there are no beds.

Right or wrong,  nobody can know and time is what takes to flatten the curve.  Soccer teams will not be playing the rest of the spring.  That is a hard fact to accept for those whose living is based on it, but they have all been paid through the rest of the year.

If it comes in waves.  Then, yes, it’s quite possible next September things will pick up.  I’m still not sure we will see travel between multiple states for games/tournaments given the situation and it effecting different municipalities at different times.

Time will tell.[/quote]

I agree they won’t play in the spring. I am confident kids will be playing by early summer,  at least in most areas and probably the DMV.  And I also think it is possible additional waves will require subsequent rounds of social distancing. I don’t know what clubs will do.  It’s not unreasonable for them to plan.  I am certain we will not be willing or able to lock down economically or fiscally beyond the next two months. The responses will become far more targeted, assuming the governments get their act together on testing (a pretty weak assumption at present. [/quote]

i agree with the pp...that travel to states as far as NJ, Penn, S Carolina, N Carolina will be shelved---even if soccer is resumed late summer.  You can not have interstate leagues when there are going to be ongoing shutdowns--rolling in different places at different times.[/quote]

I totally agree.  My point about kids playing in early summer is not about any club or league.  But it seems awfully unlikely that interstate play would resume even then, especially with rolling shutdowns.[/quote]
