Everywhere except NY/NJ that sounds like a decent idea IMO. With all the evidence thats come out over the past month.
Elderly and sickly need to remain isolated. If that means some kids cannot play to to having family members at risk, that makes sense, life matters more.

Dear members ✍️ We've targeted May 18th as the date we hope to return decision-making authority to our local leagues. Stay safe and stay strong. #COVID19 "As a number of states and local jurisdictions begin planning for a phased return to normalcy, US Club Soccer has targeted May 18th as the date we hope to return decision-making authority to our local leagues. This is subject to change, of course, but it is our hope that our members can begin to sensibly return to the fields after that, subject to some requirements and recommendations." |

That's all well & good, but until local governments allow parks to open & fields to be used, this won't mean much.

The question of whether the parks will be open is a good one.

Not to sound like an A-whole, but I kept saying this from the beginning. The math just didn't make sense to skip all summer.

Elderly and sickly won’t make the cut at US Club tryouts and are likely mature enough to know how to maintain safe distances. 😏 |

But seriously, kids who have parents/siblings/live-in grandparents with compromised immune systems need to sit it out a while longer. Those kids DO NOT need to be playing yet. If you're likely to come into contact with someone who might die if they get the virus on an even occasional basis, continue to shelter in place. The media/governor/mayor/etc need to be clear about this. |

Elderly and sickly won’t make the cut at US Club tryouts and are likely mature enough to know how to maintain safe distances. 😏 Well it’s great that you can have a chuckle about it. Not so much for me. Asthmatic kids are an example of a group of players that can make competitive teams, aren’t more likely to contract the virus than anyone else, but are considered more at risk if they do contract the disease. Many people around these players typically aren’t aware of their condition (kids don’t like to stand out). Until now those players have been able to play, contribute, and benefit from the game they love. The coaches know who they are. Something that few asthmatic players and coaches may be considering is that Covid19 is a respiratory infection. Combined with asthma, covid19 can be much more deadly. My daughter is one of those players. I think soccer will start up pretty soon and she will be left without a solution. To make it worse, the arguments heard in the news and online may make the decision appear to be open to interpretation and easily influenced by her wishful thinking. My daughter loves being the goalkeeper. Now it’s beginning to look like my wife and I are going to be put in the position of being the ones that must prevent her from joining her team on the field. So now at tryouts, will players with asthma be stigmatized , and avoided? Probably. Unfortunately, if there isn’t a clear solution for protecting players that have asthma I’m going to be reluctant to allow my daughter to play anytime soon, or sign a new contract. Grrr! As if there isn’t already enough uncertainty with soccer club alphabet soup. I’m concerned how this will affect my daughter’s 2020-2021 season. It will be heartbreaking for my daughter if she doesn’t get to play for her high school as her brother does (lacrosse). It may be a long time before she forgives me for “holding her back.” I don’t know if she’s “mature enough” to want to sit on the sidelines. Further, missing one, or two seasons could impact her opportunities in future seasons. Training at home can only take players so far. |

Further, missing one, or two seasons could impact her opportunities in future seasons. Training at home can only take players so far. you make an excellent point about asthmatic kids. I am sorry that you are in this situation. I would recommend actually speaking with her pediatrician to get an opinion. It helps to have back up when you are having to be the "bad guy." Also as a keeper your child might be the only player on the field who could get away with wearing a mask and sports glasses (to keep the virus out of her eyes). You might want to consider that as well depending on the age of your child. |

Coffee, I have seen reports very recently that indicate that , surprisingly, people with asthma are NOT more susceptible to this disease or it’s complications. I can’t remember the exact source, but if you get time, look it up. It may help alleviate some of your worries. Both my daughter and I have mild asthma, so I tend to pay attention to those kinds of things.

That it seems to be more serious in those who have underlying vascular issues rather than asthmatic (which again is quite surprising). However, so much we still don’t know but hopefully we can have more concrete answers sooner than later. |

Sorry to hear you're in that position, but it won't be that much longer until this has blown over. But being a keeper, the mask/eyewear is not outside the realm of possibilities. Or even simply keeping distance from teammates is not that difficult (and I think everyone should be trying to do this regardless). No need to get all up in teammates faces on a soccer field. As the previous posters have mentioned the primary at risk are those with severe cardiovascular issues. Additionally, kids are very resilient and near zero risk, so long as their immune system is normal. So definitely seek the guidance of your doctor. It is more than a bit frustrating that no one will come out and give us the real numbers (# deaths by age, deaths by co-morbidity, mix of the two, breakdown by type of underlying condition, in our country at least, etc). Its very frustrating we can't see this information after 2 months of it flowing through the population and then determine/assess our own risk-factors. Or even guidelines. But there is a lot one can glean by reading between the lines. Very interestingly and annoyingly Georgia has removed the deaths by age and underlying factors chart from the status report page. Prior to that, I don't know that anyone under 20 had died in Georgia from the virus. dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-daily-status-report |

Come on. Get on the ball people!!! There is no way that of the 500,000 people that were positive infections on April 10th that we should have less than half of those either recovered or dead. Most people recover in about 2 weeks. They are not reporting recovered patients accurately at all. |

Thanks folks. I appreciate the ideas. I think she might overheat with a mask. During some hot days the kids already look like they're close to feinting. As for the pediatricians, I think they're reading the same inconclusive info that we are. Maybe I'll get an opinion from two pulmonologists (specialists). I've considered talking with her coach to keep her separated; she will absolutely hate that of course.
Loved the Hitler reacts! The first one of those I ever saw was "Hitler Hates Microsoft Flight Sim X."
