    Football season is going to happen.
    I would imagine a high percentage of football players have already contracted the virus and moved past it.

    That's a dangerous narrative. Don't spread fake news. There's enough of that already.

    Good luck stopping that talking point by people who have homes separated in terms of mileage rather than feet. It's hard to fully grasp that it's even real when it's not affecting your bubble and your only access to outside media are pandering to that echo chamber you live in.

    I saw an article in The Telegraph the other day that said this. A British researcher went through a large number of their death cases and concluded that anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 of the deaths there were in people whos comorbidities were so bad they were unlikely to survive this year anyway. I doubt many players fall into that category.

    Guess you just completely stopped paying attention when the media accused both the Florida and Georgia Governors of mass murder when they opened their states.

    Please at least do some modicum of research into states that are open and those closed before posting idiotic statements.

    Guess you missed this quote from Brix .. Last week, The Washington Post reported that at a recent discussion on COVID-19 data, Birx told CDC Director Robert Redfield that ?there is nothing from the CDC that I can trust.?

    According to the paper, Birx and others feared the CDC was inflating coronavirus statistics, like mortality rates and case numbers, by up to 25 percent.

    Simple math here but that would be over 25,000 deaths miscounted which is more than the "probably none" you stated.

    The Imperial model that was being used as the gold standard model back at the beginning of this projected something similar when they made their initial adjustment from millions of deaths to a few hundred thousand.

    The media is just one example, Trump was being 'political' too! Guess YOU forgot that you said .. "Don't make it a lib vs con thing."

    Sorry, but it IS political. You can't just 'wish' it wasn't!

    There may be college football, but there may not be. The fact is nobody at this point knows.
