You know I’m more of an open thing’s up guy, but that’s really a stupid comment. Come back in about 10 to 14 days or so and say it again. The Laws of probability and simple statistics will prove you wrong. And I really hate being right about this.

gotta say it louder for the loons here
Personally I do not have any issue with it, except why just "black student leaders". As if their voice is more important than "asian student leaders", "leaders of students from India"..... Did they include leaders from ALL ethnic groups?? Anyone who has been on a college campus the last 10 years will tell you, there are probably more Asian students and more students from India than any other ethnic groups.
IDK do they have and Asian Student Union?
I would guess they do but maybe then didnt voice their opinions?
Just repeating what I heard on radio. Yesterday driving home I listened to a show hosted by Mark Packer (son of Billy Packer of college basketball fame). I've heard Mark Packer before. He tends to be pretty knowledgeable and not a "hype & scream" type. Anyhow, Mark Packer was saying that per CDC statistics, from the start of C-19 thru stats gathered thru Aug. 8th, the mortality rate of C-19 of the age group 15-22 was 0.005%. Meaning, that if a 15-22 year old person caught C-19 they had a 99.995% chance of surviving. I am not taking it as gospel, but I will accept what Mark Packer said to be correct. I'll assume that he did not go on the air and repeat those statistics unless they were researched and he had the data. But if I had a 99.995% chance of ANYTHING, I'd take my chances.
But were they represented. Yes, there are Asian student unions. Absolutely 100% agree. There are Asian Student Unions at every school. But the point is were they represented at this meeting. The article specifically listed out who was represented in this meeting.
Here is the quote from the article:
The university, which disregarded concerns from faculty members, staff workers, Black student leaders, student campus leaders and local county health officials
I do not see Asian Student Union listed.
Hmmm. His response was to ParkAvenueSoccer yet you answered it as if he commented on your post. That's strange.
Is it that hard to log out and switch handles?
yea I know I read the article too. Like I said maybe they didnt offer up an opinion.
Yea. This has been obvious a long time. That is why fear mongers are now quoting anecdotal stories about long term lung damage. That and a single case in Indiana.

I’m not questioning you’re or anyone else’s statistics regarding death rates. I called out a moronic comment that no one is sick and it’s all a conspiracy which a 150,000 plus deaths tend to refute. And once again for those not paying attention I generally favor opening things up and allowing life to continue with reasonable precautions.
There aren't a preponderance of Asian varsity athletes at most schools. In addition, how many young Asians were rioting over the Summer ?

What? No fake classes at UNC jokes? I came here for the jokes!
Get lost Viet gopher!!
This had nothing to do with ATHLETES. UNC stopped in-person classes for the STUDENT BODY.
Please stop with this bs and ask lowlife Packer to stop next time you talk to him.
The students at UNC decided to do their annual three days of parties upon their return. The town's population, many of whom are older, said enough. At the same time, UNC ran out of facilities and had to resort to renting rooms at hotels further inflaming the town-school relationship. My neighbors were angry and frankly their mortality rate is the key statistic here and the reason for the school ending in person classes.
Would you and Mr. Packer prefer to have a thousand Chapel Hill residents hospitalized? Or dead? What's the proper number? Kids transmit to adults, many of whom are vulnerable to Covid. Why is this simple concept not understood?
Yea. Maybe Asians are not concerned about C-19. I never ever see Asians wearing masks ; )
So if you have a problem with Packer's stats you have a problem with Packer & the CDC .... not me. I stated that they were stats that HE stated using the CDC. And I also stated clearly that I was trusting him to be honest.
Maybe your neighbors are smarter than Packer. I don;t know, I never meant either. It sounds like you personally have a ton of admiration for the knowledge of your neighbors. They sound incredible.
Hmmm. His response was to ParkAvenueSoccer yet you answered it as if he commented on your post. That's strange.
Do not even know what you mean about switching handles. You can have more than 1 log in. What are all yours?
The kids were creating a health threat for our residents. Doesn't get any less complicated than that.
And yes I know Packer. We all know him here in Chapel Hill. I'll leave it at that.
Is anyone surprised by this? Put 30,000 teenagers together with a disease that at least at this time manifests itself for 99.5% of them as a bad cold and tell them to wear masks stay out of bars and don't party. If our university Presidents really thought that they are dumber than I think which is pretty dumb.
Now regarding football. To me this validates continuing football not cancelling it.
Actually the safest thing would be to continue football and make the general population stay home and do online. Unfortunately not a great look and looks exploitive, but it would be the safest for the athletes. [look what happened when Oklahoma sent their kids home for a break]
Just to be clear. Ran out of rooms for the quarantined is light years from ran out of hospital rooms for the sick.
Hmm. I don't know. Old people who moved near college are afraid they might get sick so college must shut down. Strange times we live in.
Old people who built the town and the university include those 55 Years old and over. Very few people move in btw. The university and the students screwed up.
I have two kids at two other schools. No issues so far. It can be done without an immediate 1k patient hit to the local Healthcare system.
Google tells me that the U. was founded in 1789, so those old people who built the town and university must be helluva old.

Ole Miss reports....(athletes who tested positive are all part of same team; may or may not be football):
My other one is ParkAveCornhole and I use it to quote sports radio losers and political views. That way I don't get in trouble when I use this handle.
