It is divisive because the executive leadership, who has the cult-like ear of about 30% of this country, is telling his people advise that is contra-science on a regular basis, and people are believing him over the actual scientists.

The NHL is going to finish its season in Canada, because the US isn't safe enough. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/11/sports/hockey/nhl-season-restart-approved.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20200713&instance_id=20260&nl=the-morning&regi_id=98096912&segment_id=33256&te=1&user_id=5e0379ec88a61e05712d5b82f1488910

Yeah, we are somewhere between 6-10% of the country who has had this virus at one point, and the fun part is we don't even KNOW if the anti-bodies last which could literally mean herd immunity is impossible.

Here's the part I don't get. Why are we pretending that these kids will be alone in their pursuits? How many coaches are we talking about? Support staff? Teachers? Speaking of Kansas and Alabama, how about how many reporters follow them around? It isn't JUST The kids on these teams. There are a TON of at risk people whose livings are hooked those kids, and will be exposed to death on a regular basis. I mean Betsey Devos might be fine with 15,000 dead kids because it is only 0.02%, but how many at risk football coaches are we talking about? Nick Saben is 68 years old, which puts him in the in the 2-4% fatality bracket. Bill Self is 57, putting him around the 1% mortality bracket. Bill Snyder is 77, putting him around an 8% mortality rate for his age bracket.

Except Masur IS an experienced MLB broadcaster.

We haven't even started talking about how many dead teachers there will be.

This is how I took it as well. He obviously feels for the kid. Things don't always translate to print, but he obviously is worried about him.

IIRC, with the opt out, Kopech could actually choose to opt back in at a later date, right?

Micker might not even be in the country.

Hope he finds what he is looking for.

Just for the record, it won't embed if it is a mobile tweet address (starts with m.) instead of a traditional web address (http:\\www.etc) It also has to be pasted in plain text and not rich text.

He just has to figure out a way to stay healthy, much like Micker.

I think it would be the opposite. I think if you lined up his Presidency and put OBAMA everywhere TRUMP is, the right wing would lose their minds.

We have a super similar situation happening in my home town. They closed down on 4th of July weekend, which is one of their busiest weekends of the year out of "precaution" to deep clean for 5 days, yet are denying that they had any positive tests, even though employees are saying 3 of them tested positive.
