Seems impossible to enforce. I travel out of state daily and I don’t intend to quarantine. I am going to AZ over Thanksgiving and I don’t intend to quarantine. Maybe I will get a surprise and find out they can enforce it but I don’t see how.
I will get my son tested so he can return to school (school requires tests every 2 weeks anyway)
Read her quotes from June 9th. She explains herself. Perhaps the article you saw from "September" left a few facts out. Trusting an article summary that gets posted 3 months after the fact....and believing that version.....while speculating that she was "Slapped down" with absolutely no proof seems more in the arena of preposterous.
keeping up with the JMU outbreaks and it looks like they are doing fine if not really good. Something to be said for that?
This is a joke right? It may not be happening en masse but it’s definitely happening.
Here’s one from today:
23 teachers or kids caught coronavirus in one school outbreak, N.J. says
Outbreaks are defined as two or more students or school staff transmitting COVID-19 during school-related activities.
I don’t think the world’s 7 day average has hit 10k yet, but it has had several days recently that have (highest since the start of the pandemic.
I am hopeful we hit a plateau soon though, but even if it’s already started, deaths do tend to lag cases so we could realistically hit a 7 day average of about 2k deaths per day.
At this point I think I’ve decided to root for the virus. That’s one relentless son of a bitch. 
It’s this type of sense of humor that brings me here. Kudos to you good sir. 😂At this point I think I’ve decided to root for the virus. That’s one relentless son of a bitch.
“That is further supported by the fact that we have not learned of any school-to-school or team-to-team spread of the virus through athletics,” Lombardi said. “We are not aware of any, and our Sport Medicine people, who have done extensive research and some of them not only are writing their policies for their health systems are not aware of any or have any research of such. So that’s why that consensus statement was made.”

PIAA advises to move forward with winter sports practices ‘with an abundance of caution’
The decision by the PIAA comes as a recommendation from its Sports Medicine Advisory Committee.
I got my positive test result yesterday. Had to go to Chicago for one freaking day to look at some inspection equipment...fml. I get freed from isolation just in time for Thanksgiving. I'm feeling fine, so don't worry about that. My big question is; does this qualify me to be able to use my Olympic Trials tickets since I've already recovered from the virus???🙏🙏🙏At this point I think I’ve decided to root for the virus. That’s one relentless son of a bitch.
Ahh, Olympic Trials tickets. I remember feeling so happy when I secured mine, I was down in DE for a few days and got them over my phone while shopping with the wife. Good times...
I wonder if we will ever get to use them.

Sorry to hear that you caught the virus. It sounds as though your doing good and hopefully continue that way. What this does mean is that with your 2 weeks of isolation you GIF game should go from National Champion caliber to Olympic Champion caliber. I think I speak for the board and we expect nothing less.I got my positive test result yesterday. Had to go to Chicago for one freaking day to look at some inspection equipment...fml.

I red somewhere that wine eases even the most severe symptoms. Hopefully you have some left.
I “red” every chance I get
. Enjoy that wine and stay healthy everyone.
I have 8 lower level seats. I'm hoping that this is a spike and not a plateau. I'm literally in the second row...theoretically.
Covid requires something a little more potent to kill it. Since I hate the taste of bleach, I'm going with bourbon and scotch.
Since covid is supposed to kill the sense of taste, you should go with everclear.
Seriously, I hope you get over this without any major problems.
I hope all goes well for you. Just read a report that said Melatonin helps with symptoms. Not big sample and not peer reviewed but Melatonin isn't going to hurt you. Best of luck
Doubling time is measured by the equation 70/growth rate. The latest 7 day moving average of new cases is up over 30% from a week before and over 90% from two weeks ago. The 65% growth has tailed off a bit.
But even a 35% weekly increase means basically doubling every two weeks; quadrupling in a little over a month and reaching 8 times current levels by the end of January. And even before the recent/current alarming spike, we were cruising along at a 25% rate of increase. Deaths are not a linear result from infection. Deaths skyrocket once hospitals pass their capacities. Many hospitals are already at capacity in all parts of the country.

Bordeaux, you know I love you but until you post the lab results, I wondering if this a ploy to get votes for the Best Poster thread. 😉
If anyone could find the exact right mix of bleach, bourbon and scotch to take on this thing Dave, I knew it would be you.🥃
Until last Thursday I knew noone personally who had it. Within 20 minutes I heard from a former employee and then a college best friend who has it.
Both were fighting it at their homes but the college friend who was struggling at day 5 really started to struggle even more. He is now hospitalized with double pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung.
I'm careful but this will keep me more focused on my basement hiding.
Good luck Dave, keep us updated.
Well, you had better tell the Governors of PA/NY/NJ/DE who issued a statement today who declared that schools are safe. Yes, Cuomo, Murphy, and even our own Herr Wolf said they are safe. So no, it isn't a f***ing joke. Our kids are losing their damn education for a virus that even the most lockdown Govs east of the Mississippi say doesn't spread through schools.This is a joke right? It may not be happening en masse but it’s definitely happening.
Here’s one from today:
23 teachers or kids caught coronavirus in one school outbreak, N.J. says
Outbreaks are defined as two or more students or school staff transmitting COVID-19 during school-related activities.www.nj.com
The EXACT words... not from Trump, not from an idiot on a posting board, not from someone in Florida or Texas or Sweden who you can dismiss as playing politics or wanting to kill kids or whatever else:
"Medical research as well as the data from Northeastern States, from across the country, and around the world, make it clear that in person learning is safe when the appropriate protections are in place, even in communities with high transmission rates...."
freakin UNICEF today issued a study from over 100 countries that demonstrated schools were safe. I think it was 168 countries! UNICEF!
can you find an exception? Sure. I can also find a 100 year old chain smoker. But punishing kids for a virus that isn’t dangerous to them, doesn’t spread through schools to adults in danger, doesn’t spread from students to teachers is a damn war crime.

Hoping this is a Penn State Football false positive test.
Short of that, hoping this is extremely mild with no long-term effects.
So the quote was from an idiot on Twitter?
(PS, not taking sides on the content of the quote.)
Hang in there. One of employees (late 50s) got it and only felt worn down for 2 weeks and her husband didn't even know he had it!). Still don't understand how my son didn't get it living with two frat guys who did have it. Don't even think that he was taking precautions...
I don’t know the specifics of “all parts of the country,” but I’m not sure this is true. I think I’ve mostly just seen it happening in the Midwest so far.
Well calling it “safe when appropriate protections are in place” and saying “it doesn’t spread” in schools are two entirely different things IMO.
I do think schools should remain open, but it’s definitely spreading there. In fact I was surprised when you claimed it didn’t when earlier you commented about “the demographics of those being infected now,” which would seemingly be an admission that some of them are getting it from school.
Not from an idiot on a message board, but most certainly from 5 idiots.
I actually agree with what they are saying, but they are still idiots. Anyone who thinks the government can control a virus is an idiot.
