When do you think we expect an announcement about the upcoming season and also about spectators in the stands

The Governor of Massachusetts is not even allowing the Patriots to have fans in a massive 70K outdoor stadium. There is no way in God's Green Earth they will allow fans in a compact indoor facility on a college campus this season

There is no way in God's Green Earth they will allow fans in a compact indoor facility on a college campus this season at least in January fans should be allowed to attend sporting events. I think we need to let people attend sporting events we have been in lockdown and unable to do the things we want to do for 6 months too long mass is at 1% of positive rate Florida and other states have 25% capacity in football |

Nothing in January is going to be different than now. No potential vaccine will be ready by then, at least for the general public. The governor has allowed certain communities to open indoor performing venues up to 250 people depending on the positivity rate (Worcester's positivity rate has consistently been above the threshold for this phase, and is currently in the red category). However, players, coaches, officials, and support and event staff are included in the 250 which would leave maybe 175 people max? I just dont see it, and the governor has already said that Phase 4 doesn't happen without a vaccine

They did not allow any fans yesterday at my son’s high school soccer game. Most schools seem to be allowing something between one parent per player and all household members of players on the home team. No one is allowing visiting fans at all.

New Jersey high school teams are playing football again. The top games are being broadcast. I have not heard of any clear limits on crowd size, but numbers will be down for a variety of factors. Two of the state's top teams (SJR and Bergen Cath.) will be broadcast tomorrow (Saturday) at 2:00 pm.

NH high schools are allowing two guests per participant . That goes from players from both schools. The exception is for cheer. Cheerleaders are not going to road football games so their parents can't go to road games either.
I do not know the rule for siblings. It's not unheard of that a pair of siblings are teammates on a high school sports team. There might be a limit of two passes per household not matter how many kids you have on the team

You can pretty much put it on the board that HS basketball games across the board will have zero fans, maybe not even parents. Probably same will go for college.
I don't think I've ever been to a youth or HS soccer game where sitting at least 50 feet from the next closest person was not a distinct possibility. So if schools think they need to intently regulate these games, you can forget about hoops.
Heard some of the HS soccer rules have gotten bananas. Something like:
1) Player briefly lowers mask to scratch nose => automatic red card and ineligible for following game
2) Player takes mask off while on field of play or bench area => program gets the death penalty a la SMU football in 1987

Anyone know what (if any) over-the-counter meds should be available at home in case of contracting Covid? What (if anything) might help one to cope with the symptoms?

I heard from some, though I would not prescribe if I was a doctor....
That you can try....Jameson, Bushmills, Jack Daniels, Johnnie Walker....
They may temporarily alter your disposition regarding Covid, but they have deleterious effects to your liver. 😎
In all seriousness, I have not heard of any proven and tested OTC medicines recommended for Covid. Chu Chu would be our resident expert, as a physician, but I believe it may not be ethical for him to make a recommendation.

The product Elycium Basis, Which Is Not Approved By FDA, is used by a few Mass General doctors as protection for vulnerable patients undergoing other treatments and care. Alleged to Offer t cell benefits and was developed by MIT scientists
I have no opinion on the product and defer to the doctors --but if it truly offers t cell benefits I would consider adding to my current Zinc, Aspirin and Melatonin pills. Steroids from your doc might also help reduce pulmonary issues.

If MA gets to a zero rate before a vaccine, he might change that position, but no vaccine, no Phase 4 is the current plan in MA |

It's anti-inflammatory and/or fever reducing properties? |

When this first started Tylenol, not Advil, was recommended fever reducer, but don't think those initial observations with concern about Advil have proven out. I have read that sleep & hydration are helpful should you contract the virus - IIRC hydration enables your body to produce sufficient mucus to help keep your lungs clear A flu shot (obviously not OTC) is important whether it helps COVID-19 or not. Here's two links to Harvard Medical School articles on Treatments for COVID-19 (both OTC and otherwise) and "boosting" your immune system that may be helpful. Would imagine a teaching hospital near you would be another good source for similar information. www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/treatments-for-covid-19www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/how-to-boost-your-immune-system |

ALL participants (coaches, players, administrators, officials, medical) must wear masks. Bench area is supposed to observe social distance (so longer bench area in most cases). One can temporarily take the mask off if one is distant from the other players and not involved in the active play. 1 and 2 above are not something the rules call for. Don't know what state you are referring to. If one takes the mask off to argue with an official, yellow card...same situation, one confronts the official closer than 6 feet, red card. |
