[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, here we go, my son’s team that is based in Montgomery county has rescheduled two scrimmages.  Both have been relocated: one to Baltimore and the other to Northern Virginia. Can someone explain to me what Montgomery county is trying to accomplish? Unless there is a nationwide ban on the sport, people are going to find a way to play, let’s stop fooling ourselves.  If this isn’t politics at its worst, please tell me what is really going on.

What's really going on?  It's a simple matter of pushing the needle in the right direction. Not all or nothing.  Of course risk-ratings for indoor volleyball and lacrosse are laughably inconsistent.  And some soccer teams or clubs will find workarounds, outside the county.  But most won't, especially younger teams and recreational leagues.  And those that do will likely conduct fewer practices and play fewer games.  Which means fewer contacts.  When you scale that up over thousands of kids (and their parents milling about nearby), you're talking about tens of thousands fewer contacts over the course of the fall.  Is that guaranteed to suppress infections?  No.  But it's reasonable to think that it will.[/quote]
