North Carolina and South Carolina have already announced delaying the start of their fall sports for 1 month and will monitor as the start gets closer. Both states are also having region competition first IF games are played.

High school football will not be played this fall in Virginia.
Football will be either played in the winter or spring or not at all, based on which of three plans the Virginia High School League's executive committee approves July 27 for the 2020-21 high school sports season. The July 27th meeting convenes at 9 a.m.
This came up because there is a football recruit who plans to enroll in college in January, so he is transferring to a school in NC to try to get a last season of football in before heading off to college

I wonder how many seniors who haven't committed will be going to other states that will have football.

I wonder how many seniors who haven't committed will be going to other states that will have football. I doubt any state will have Fall football let alone any fall sports. Same for college. Unless you’re a Pro team that has the money to bubble your players and test daily then no one will be playing this Fall. |

Blame the Governor and all those idiots that keep saying it’s the Flu. Wear a mask, social distance, stay clean, and realize this isn’t going away anytime soon. |

Wear a mask, social distance, stay clean, and realize this isn’t going away anytime soon. I'm sorry but for people under 1 -17 the mortality rate is indeed less than the flu. Don't believe me, go check the statistics. If we weed out deaths from people with bad comorbidities (people that were already in very poor health to begin with where quality of life was already an issue), and elderly in nursing homes the mortality rate for the rest of the population is around where a bad flu season would be. No one is comparing the actual physical symptoms to the flu. They are comparing the mortality rate to the flu in populations of humans. In fact the Governor is doing a great job because as he said he shouldn't have to mandate masks. Dirty little secret about mask mandates, these blue city and states that are enacting them are not even enforcing them. They write like 1 ticket a month or none. I saw the beaches in LA during the holiday week. Lots of no masks. I can guarantee you they were not writing tickets for violations. So I'm sorry complaining about Kemp not mandating masks is a politically biased falsehood from people that don't like Kemp which I assume you are one of especially considering that the places that are mandating it are not even enforcing them. |

Sorry to hear about those two people and all of those who have lost friends, family or their own robust health. As you mentioned even totally healthy people have been harmed by this virus, permanently. I have two extended family members that have had and several friends. Some they barely had symptoms others said it sucked for about a week or so. The people in my family were young. The people that said it sucked for a week were in their 60's. None of them had to go to the hospital. I'm not dismissing death. I want to know the details on the people that had to lose a lung and have low lung capacity. I want to know their medical history and if they were completely healthy or not. I don't suppose you will actually give me the truth on that info even if they weren't healthy individuals. Yes sometimes in rare cases healthy people are dying and healthy people are having weird reactions. Please lets trace how many people that is in the country of 328.2 million. Lets see what % statistically this is happening to. I can guarantee you that if you look at the stats we can find plenty of other terrible things that happen more commonly then these rare cases you speak of. I'm sorry it has happened to them, but my point is we take bigger risks everyday and we didn't shut down the country. Its not that I don't care about them. Its sad but we can't destroy the whole country or world because of some statistically rare situations in healthy people, and I'm sorry they are indeed statistically rare. You can not make governmental policies decision based out of emotion and the rarity. You need to make them based on scientific statistics. Right now if you look at the stats we are not doing that. |

2 week delay... keep all 10 games start Sept 4 and full 5 week playoffs -voted unanimously.
Beginning of football conditioning and practices will remain as scheduled, for July 27.
Other fall sports:
Softball: August 6
Cheerleading: August 8
Volleyball, cross-country: August 10
Football: August 21 --> Moved to Sept. 4
It's a very good sign...

OF NOTE: while today's GHSA vote keeps Georgia high school football and other fall sports on track to play, individual districts *could* still make their own decisions; i.e. decide not to play even though it's allowed. No district I'm aware of has made that move yet.

Both can’t be true. I agree especially the last part. The problem is the reason online only is being pushed while sports are fine is because a lot of teachers are whining and moaning and complaining about going back to work in person. That is the true reason a lot of counties are doing online only. I still don't understand how employees can tell their employers what they will and not do and still have a job. I know I couldn't do that. |

Just reprehensible and ignorant. You must mistake me for somebody I'm not. I have never said I was some Alex Jones, Q-Anon conspiracy guy. I don't even like Trump that much other than he is better than Biden or any liberal policy. I'm just a logic driven guy who happens to be a scientist also that is always numbers and stats driven not emotionally driven. Yes that makes me come off as callous sometimes, but it isn't because I don't have empathy, it is just the way my brain works. The facts are these mask mandates are not being enforced and Democrats use lack of mask mandates on Republican leaders to bash them over their head when they don't even look at how the mask mandates are not even being enforced where they have been enacted. You can't claim a mandate works if you aren't enforcing it. I still have faith that the majority of this country are smart enough to make their own decisions and do the responsible thing. Yes there will be knuckle heads but they exist in all walks of life. The virus is not a hoax, it is not a liberal conspiracy. It wasn't made by democrats to get Trump. The virus is real, though it is not as serious as the media and health experts make it out to be looking at statistics. What is real though is that there are Democrats that are using the virus as ammo against GOP politicians to help their side out in an election year. They are using the mantra of never letting a good crisis go to waste, and they have their cohorts in the media helping them out as they always do since 80% of media is liberal leaning garbage, and before you even complain the other 19% is righ-leaning garbage and there is maybe 1% of news that is as close to unbiased as you can get, and the places that 1% shows up varies from site to site and article to article. Essentially journalism is dead and has been for a long time. |

Random question.
If they develop a treatment (not cure/vaccine) that will decrease mortality to nearly zero (lets say like the flu), would the non-starters be willing to get on board with "return to normal?" Ie, many people will likely continue to get it but almost no one will die from it (say like norovirus). Or is this a "this virus must not exist" in order to return to normal?

My opinion...but from everything I have read, that's where all of this is going anyway. Some of the early promising "vaccines" just boost the immune system so that you don't die. It says nothing about not catching the virus or not getting symptoms. Fauci even said you may need a booster shot after a period of time I think that's why maybe they are able to get something out the door so quickly, because it doesn't prevent the virus, just lessens the impact |

I promise we are not able to tell our employers what we want to do. I have put 20 years of blood, sweat, and more tears than I can count, into my school that I teach at. Please excuse me if I don’t want to actually put my life on the line for my career. I never thought it would come to that, but because I am high risk, that’s what I will be doing in order to continue to pay my bills. My system isn’t even requiring masks as of now. It is “optional” and our class sizes are going up because of budget cuts. Until you know a teacher personally and have a conversation with them, do not lump us all into one category. |

While I certainly don't think it's all teachers not wanting to return to work, the Teacher's Unions in various states are starting to sue to require schools to do "online only". I am not painting all teachers in a bad light. If you want to return to work, great, but my guess is that there are 100 others who don't and are being vocal about it.
Even some of the national teacher's unions are stating that online only is the way to go. The article I read on CNN said that teachers were being considered "essential workers". But the issue with them being considered essential workers was that they weren't compensated like doctors and they had more education than delivery drivers, waitresses and other low level employees who went to work everyday during this pandemic. (That's the article saying that, not me)
If that is the argument being made by union leaders, that union needs new leadership. If that's the argument of the article author, then he really painted teachers in a bad light.
I don't know too many people that want to put their life on the line for their career, but many people do. There are people that have to support critical infrastructure in the middle of a hurricane, ice storm, blizzard etc. That work, can and does, put their life at risk. While these certainly are unfortunate circumstances to have to go to work in, there are millions of people still leaving the house every day to pay their bills.
Some careers get the short end of the stick during different types of nationwide or local events.

I have put 20 years of blood, sweat, and more tears than I can count, into my school that I teach at. Please excuse me if I don’t want to actually put my life on the line for my career. I never thought it would come to that, but because I am high risk, that’s what I will be doing in order to continue to pay my bills. My system isn’t even requiring masks as of now. It is “optional” and our class sizes are going up because of budget cuts. Until you know a teacher personally and have a conversation with them, do not lump us all into one category. Well not to spill out all my personal info on a public forum, but I in fact have several teachers in my family. One in my immediate family actually. None of them are complaining, and they will do exactly what they are told to do. I also run into about 10x other teachers online on social media that are doing nothing but whining and complaining. Those people are giving you guys and my family members a bad name. I am an essential worker as well, and had no choice in the matter. The grocery clerk sees just as many people if not more people than teachers in any given shift and they are considered essential and I know they make way less money than teachers. There are teachers unions and some teachers being very vocal right now and it is turning a lot of people off including myself. |
