While just about all can contract it, the overwhelming majority will not be affected by this for more than a week or two. I’m just following the science and data here and going by what the numbers tell me. This sounds like a quote from a powerful person who just got the virus but has refused to wear a mask and has mocked the scientist saying it’s no big deal🤦🏼♂️ Here is the exact quote from ten days ago “ It Affects Virtually Nobody.” 🤦🏼♂️😳🤦🏼♂️ Survival rates of Corona per the CDC. 0-19: 99.997% 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70 & over: 94.6% The fear porn needs to slow down just a bit. Yeah, of course the virus is real and should be taken seriously. But, we don’t have to shut down society, thereby hurting millions and millions of more people in the process. There’s a way to open the country up, while still protecting those who are most at risk. |

Society is not shut down.
5%+ death rate. for many of this board's posters is a sobering number.
CDC's Redfield said we could beat this thing in a matter of weeks if everyone would simply wear masks and act rationally.

Act rationally?..........
That’s the operative, but not being demonstrated by a very large segment of our society. Too many are impatient and undisciplined for the virus to be abated in the near term.
This pandemic is a wake up call for all residents to change their habits regarding hand washing, social distancing, and wearing a face covering mask, especially during flu / Covid season.
Returning to living as we were prior to this pandemic is not on the horizon for several years. It is time to face reality.

Father Jenkins, the President of my alma mater, and, by all accounts, a very intelligent and responsible person, did not wear a mask or socially distance when he attended Amy Barrett's White House event and now he has Covid.

All humans are potential viral vectors. Be forever vigilant.
The only time not to wear a mask is when you are alone, or with immediate members of your family who have maintained clear safe practices with all precautionary measures.
No such concept of “trust but verify” when it comes to the virus 🦠. Trust no one, because they may not know if they are infected until it is too late for you. I pray for the health of Fr. Jenkins. He should have only trusted the immediate members of his CHC that he resides in South Bend.

The overall U.S. case fatality rate currently is about 2.8 percent. The reciprocals of the three percentages (99.997, 99.98, 99.5) cited suggest that the cumulative case fatality rate for those 69 and younger is 0.5 percent, or about 1,100 deaths of individuals under the age of 70, of the total of 210,000 deaths. However, the CDC reported that the case fatality rate for those ages 65 and under at the end of September was 21.2 percent. (AFAIK, the CDC does not generally publish data series with that 70+ age distribution; e.g., CDC deaths by age cohort are published for ages 65-74, 75-84, 85 and over.) MA deaths by age group for the two weeks ending Sept 26 indicate that the number of deaths for those 70 and under was 18.3 percent of the total COVID deaths in MA for that two week period. |

What do you mean by “case fatality rate”? Seems to me the key metric is what % of people who contract the disease die. Deaths so far equal 2.8% of reported cases

Right---not sure what Phreek is referring to when he calculates a "case fatality rate" of 21.2% for people 65 and under. It must be a different metric than the one you and I just referenced.

Deaths so far equal 2.8% of reported cases Case fatality rate is the percentage of positive cases who die from COIVID, or COVID is a major contributing factor. I have not found a breakout of cumulative cases by age cohort; however, there are exceptions where there is such data for a month. The CDC does breakout deaths by age cohort, and it is a running cumulative, updated weekly. I added the deaths for age cohorts 0-64 years Through Sept 26, updated as of Sept 30. Deaths by cohort 0-24: 431 25-34: 1513 35-44: 3956 45-54: 10389 55-64: 24772 __________________ total all ages 194091 |

Acknowledging it's not official, the more I think about this, the dumber it seems to me. Why would they want to subject the players to so much traveling when there's no need for it (with a little creative thinking)?. Break the league into pods of 4-3-3 (BU, HC, Army, CU; LU, LC and Bucky; and AU, LC and Navy); let them play extra games amongst each other to get to 16-18....then let them have the flexibility to play a few non league games closer to home! I dunno, if I'm a player (ha), particularly in my senior year, I want to: 1. Stay healthy by minimizing long trips, and 2. Play as many games as possible!
Finally the league office is starting to read some of my emails to them!

I wish they had read the part about non-league games. There is no reason at all for the league to dictate to schools whether or not they play OOC games between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just don't allow them for ten days prior to the first league game and, of course, make sure everyone has been tested. |

NJ's governor Murphy just put a hold on all high school winter sports after 5,000 new cases were reported in the state yesterday. The current plan is to start hoops on January 1st. There have been lots of plans that changed in the two months prior to implementation. I'm hopeful, but not wagering on seeing HC basketball happen |
