HOLY CROSS IS NOT ALLOWING HOLY CROSS STUDENTS WHO LIVE OFF-CAMPUS TO COME ON CAMPUS. SO WHY WOULD A VISITING FOOTBALL TEAM BE ALLOWED TO COME ON CAMPUS IF THE COLLEGE'S OWN STUDENTS CANNOT? Sorry but it has absolutely nothing to do with students on campus.

They only go to Fitton Do complete Covid prep job and play the game Holy Cross, in the FAQ accompanying the communique to the students from TPTB, explicitly states that it is not making exceptions, e.g., even for vaccinated students. (not that there are many vaccinated students.) The only students who are treated a bit different are those who have recovered from their COVID infection, which is now over 200 students. At this point in time, Holy Cross cannot commit to the PL that it will still not be in lockdown next Thursday when teams have to finalize their travel logistics..

The most logical reason is that the HC campus is currently on lockdown and Bucknell’s is not. If I’m a betting man, I’m saying HC and Bucknell do not play next weekend. Hope I’m wrong. You’re wrong. There will be a game. Nothing to do with what’s happening on campus Hope you’re right. And that they allow HC fans at said game. Preferably lots of them.

Is HC practicing this week? No. No practicing, no team meetings, to trips to sports medicine before Wednesday. All of Luth is closed, all of The Jo is closed except for testing.

But where are the Bison going on Campus other than Fitton-drive up, play and leave Why should the Bison be allowed on campus if 700 or so HC students are prohibited from coming on-campus? Why not let other teams from other schools come on-campus as well? If I'm a graduating senior and I have a thesis to finish, or lab work to complete, and the library is closed, and the science buildings are closed, I'd be more than plenty pissed if HC allowed a visiting football team to come on campus while keeping me at bay. (The library is closed to all, as are all classroom buildings.) The college has basically admitted that, at this point, it has neither the time nor the patience to start carving out exceptions for this and that. Nor is it hiring a bunch of Talmudic scholars to issue interpretations. . IIRC, yesterday's shot across the bow was the third such shot this semester, specifically targeting those students who did not follow protocols, and after testing positive, their list of close contacts that must be sent off to quarantine is far longer than the college would like. So the TPTB's exasperation level is high.

Surprised that there were students at the Lafayette-Lehigh game this afternoon.
Neither broadcast teams, one for the Lafayette ESPN+ feed, the other for the Lehigh feed, were physically at Fisher Field for the game. They were located in studios in Easton and Bethlehem. Guess the broadcast teams for Lehigh and Lafayette decided to play it safe and not be in the press box.
The Bucknell broadcast team for Bucknell-Fordham game was in Mathewson Stadium as I am now reviewing the beginning of the game. At the 2:14 remaining mark of the 2nd quarter, the stands were shown with a few people in attendance. The attendance was very sparse. Doug Birdsong mentioned they were part of the family and friends, who are part of the weekly testing process that allows them to attend the game.
The incessant whining about the need to be physically in the stadium during the game seems immature with an “I want it culture”. Time for many to think about the lyrics from the “Who” Magic Bus. I have adapted to many things that I can’t have this year.
I appreciate the effort by the athletes, coaching staff and administrators to try to get this very difficult season to a successful conclusion. Best to give them as safe a venue as possible, until we can ensure an environment that virus transmission has been abated.
Besides, I am far more comfortable watching on my smart devices at home, than sitting in a stadium being concerned about being in a hot zone, even though I am fully vaccinated. The food is hot, the drinks are cold, and the bathroom has no lines.

Covid is real and likely will continue for some period into the future. It is like a very bad flu with deadly impact.
With that said many of the more vulnerable and those of us in their 7th decade(60s) and beyond want to live a little before we find out we are done. Like PP I do work in this space/ with government and industry everyday, but at some point in the very near future government needs to get out of the business of controlling our lives.

Texas and Florida have been opened up for a while now. The Rangers’ games in Arlington have been selling out. Things are going just fine down there. Maybe the governors up north should take note.

This is driven by data and science, but significantly influenced by politics on both sides, and the language/words being used does not help address or solve the public health crisis

People in their sixties and seventies should be fully vaccinated by now. If you're not you either have an outstanding medical reason, really lazy or just not paying attention. These are younger adults getting this. Stop panicking.

Needs to get figured out. Game should be at HC and, if not, a neutral site, never, ever at Bucknell. AD needs to say no. Play at Foley Stadium in Worcester. They allow fans.

More words of wisdom from the guy who questioned whether there would be 100,000 Covid deaths. A real infectious disease expert.

I’ve been vaccinated. Next weekend will be two weeks since my second dose. I would be putting neither myself nor anyone else in danger by attending the game outside with a mask and distanced if need be. I have coached 32 basketball games indoors since January. I have coached roughly 75 practices. All but a few have been inside. Not because “I want it” as my friend Crucis suggests, but because I know that my kids and their friends very much need it after living through an absolute nightmare since last March that has had profound impacts on all of them. It’s time to give these kids their lives back.

I am thankful that the pandemic that has caused our daily routines to change, was not a dual threat of both Covid and Ebola.
Waiting to attend outdoor events another couple of months until virus transmission is abated, is a sacrifice I understand is necessary. Staying in a pod for the time being seems sensible for the immediate window. Otherwise, with new variants, you are rolling the dice.
Personally, I take no enjoyment of going to a casino, cause I know the odds are stacked against me. The College’s Risk Managers probable concern is that a few hours of enjoyment in a venue that cannot be micro managed regarding risk, is not an viable option for the community’s overall health. Think not just students, but faculty and staff, even the ones that are fully vaccinated. The current vaccinations abate serious illness and hospitalization, not necessarily infection. EFG, have you been part of studies regarding subliminal vaccinations? Hope that discussion will be resolved in time for the 50th reunion, and all can gather on Kimball Quad.
Thinking of both Texas and Florida, has anyone seen the tickets for admittance to the venues? Do they absolve the operators and professionals organization of any liability in the case of a super spreader event? Similar to the waiver of liability prior to the pandemic.

It’s how they make money. COVID wins a fraction of a percentage, specially among younger people, as the science and data have told us.

Science and the data recommend all should receive the vaccine.
