But what's the end game? What does it mean to say going to a football game isn't about us? We all the have the choice to go or not. If you fear a massive outbreak as a result of these games overwhelming the hospitals, I still say that's extremely unlikely, particularly of the game is filled with 95% lower risk people and the elderly/people with co-morbidities mostly stay home.
A big part of me thinks we are trying to hard to suppress this thing when in reality, we need to let it cycle through the less risk people ASAP so that us, the elderly, and co-morbidity population/high risk people can all move on as quickly as possible. If you get the healthier people sick, then the virus loses steam and you let the higher risk come back out of hiding even sooner. Instead of sequester us all and continue to drag this out.
I'll change my tune if a vaccine becomes a legit possibility in the next few months. Otherwise we are just delaying this thing and not really reducing the total amount of deaths
There is no method/enforcement to make high risk people stay home, that's the issue. Because we have selfish high risk people, nobody gets to go.
Having been to quite a few TAMU games lately, the entire 2nd deck is just jammed full of high risk people that paid a crap ton for those seats and PSL. No way we can get them to stay home while the millenials go in their place, none.
What if the high risk people understand the risks and want to go vs. hide under their beds? Why does that make them selfish...why is the government trying to protect them if they understand the risks and want to go?
Are you saying they have a high-risk of dying from the virus? If they want to go and understand the risks...let them go.
I don't feel high risk people understand the risks. I'm not for nanny state here, ever. But we need cooler heads to win here. And there's just no reason for fans to be in person at Kyle this fall.
We can't risk elementary schools not re opening and a gigantic case surge right at elem opening would be the second economy wave that finally takes us all down.
Why on God's green earth would elementary schools not opening this coming fall even be up for consideration? The kids are obviously not at risk and elementary aged kids have parents that are in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s. They are not at risk either. Both the parents and their kids are taking a greater risk driving to school throughout the coming school year.
As far as college football, there is also no reason to not have fans there either. There are not a lot of 70, 80, and 90 year olds in the stands.
As far a cooler heads prevailing, if you are still scared just post your address here on TexAgs and one of us will come by and nail you shut inside your home and cut out a food delivery slot. We will check back in on you in 2021 sometime. May the odds ever be in your favor.
