It’s not that games are the source of spread - (though the socializing around tournaments could be). It just seems an easy one for them to stop with less economic impact. It’s just a shame because kids in virtual school and 9 months of this takes a toll on kids mental health.

Well, frankly homeschool and working all day with three kids as a single mom and then having to take them to 3000 sports all night long is shit for me, and shit for MY mental health. I need to continue working and they need to continue learning, but the driving to games I Couldn't watch and practices where my other kids couldn't play on the playground etc, feeling uncomfortable being asked to fly for club lax etc......i need it to end.

I am glad that some consistency is entering the equation, because this has been a crap situation.

Yes. VA announced today.

For sure

Northam just announced 25 person limit on public gatherings effective Sunday.

Sports are done for a while.

Odd that the soccer tournaments are still going on with the 25 person limit still.

Starts Monday

How does this apply to soccer in VA? https://www.wric.com/news/virginia-news/gov-ralph-northam-announces-statewide-covid-19-restrictions/

Virginia just announced it - gatherings now limited to 25. Tournaments this weekend are probably still on, after that, I'd expect cancellations. Indoor is almost certainly off

It feels like it’s coming but who knows.

First, it is going to be a local and state issue. No federal lockdown will happen before January, and even then, I really doubt the federal government will do it (principally because they will face a revolt across numerous states and won't be able to enforce it).

Second, I think the lockdowns are far more likely to affect bars and restaurants. Outdoor youth sports seem like a less plausible target.

But third, governments have not shown any ability to be selective in applying judgment to any of these situations, so nothing would surprise me at this point.

Yes. Things will be buttoned up a bit Im sure.

If not in MD, in our surrounding states for sure.

hit a record today with new cases.

Or do you think soccer will continue as is?
