Covid is not going anywhere. A vaccine will help slightly but not by alot. It's coming to a field near us all. We should be moving forward - like pp said a game with restrictions on the weekends but yes- people will always test positive.The tournaments need to be scrapped though.

Nowhere in this country is doing isolating and tracing at the level that needs to be done to control this outbreak. With testing now 5-7 days behind isolate and trace is just a sound bite.

So is this. Let’s stop dancing around the issue and be clear. You want us to lock down again until a vaccine is widely available, correct? If not, what are the specific, objective criteria that should determine whether full practices and scrimmmages are appropriate?

There is a middle ground between lockdown and full practices/scrimmages. In Phase 2, they can still practice and keep up on skills and passing. Phase 3 is appropriate when there is not a lot of community spread AND methods of isolating and tracing. Here in the DC area, right now, cases are relatively consistent and under control. Adding in scrimmaging definitely increases exposure. But as long as community spread is low, it is manageable.

What I'm really struggling with is how we think that we are going to have tournaments in the fall. I can see one game on a weekend because, again, it is still manageable. But multiple teams from more distant locations with 3 or 4 games? I just don't see how that can happen.

Other sports have already managed to hold tournaments. It is possible.

And track everyone who attended staff or camper none will die.

Every time you're at the dr. pre covid for years they always "somethings going around" Yes this is more widespread but still kills only smalll percentage. You can have a common cold and spread it to an immune compromised person and kill them. The ICUs are full , But not just because of Covid. They are usually at moderated to high level in use year round. Yes take covid serious and also take the common cold serious. If your kid is sick do your best to stop the spread of any sickness. Start with some of the little things you can do. teach and practice good hygiene . Eat a healthy diet to keep your immunity levels high (90 % who think they eat healthy enough dont ). Exercise very regularly. these things will give you the superior advantages to fight of the virus if you contract it. Also keep your vaccinations up to date.

The point is they couldn’t even get through ONE WEEK without a case.

How many people were attending camp?

Suspect we will hear of more things like this (if) the season proceeds this Fall.

Was staff member symptomatic? Wearing a mask? How many days of camp did they attend before symptoms? What led to testing?

About people in DC getting COVID? Or catching it prior to spreading it?
