Love it.
Andrew Ray?
Things are beginning to look up indeed. My son has his first wrestling tournament this weekend.
Yep, my youngest had her first VB match last night.
New world, guys. Visiting fans had a different entrance, stayed on their half of the gym. Different restrooms for home and visitors. Teams never changed benches after a set. No pregame handshakes. Ball was wiped down AFTER EVERY POINT. Seriously, every point. But, it's 2020, and it's whatever you have to do to play. They had a blast.
I watched it on Facebook... First VB match I think I have missed in 6 years. But I am still in time-out until later in the week...
Best of luck to you and your family !
Thank you, sir. As formerly predicted, I got my vaccination early on and look forward to continuing in society shortly...
It appears the CDC has released some new Covid related numbers. We all knew statistics related to this virus were suspect at best. Not surprisingly the morbidity numbers were way off.
The moral of this tale is to take statistics and data not as knee-jerk facts, but rather with a grain of salt until there's been enough time to aggregate and analyze the methodology and accompanying data.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website disclosed the shockingly small number of people who died from the coronavirus, with no other cause of death mentioned. Out of the 161,392 deaths reported in the CDC data, just 6%, about 9,700 deaths, were attributed to the coronavirus alone. According to the CDC, the other 94% had an average of 2.6 additional conditions or causes of deaths, such as heart disease, diabetes, and sepsis."
Something that has seemed obvious for the past few months......
@JoelSidneyKelly How EXCITING!!!! These pics are just awesome!!! Life, is happening again.... WOW!!!!
Covid 19, forcing many of us to learn things we really did not want to know. My new word of the week in regard to this ^ post. "Comorbidity".
co·mor·bid·i·ty
/the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient.
Covid 19 deaths in Georgia, where I am tracking them because it is of interest to me because of my age group over 70. Is really two different disease profiles. Of the 5632 deaths in Georgia according to Georgia Department of Public Health Daily Status Report. If you are under 30 with 41% of the Georgia population there have been 50 deaths many with other factors contributing to or the principal cause of the death.
On the other hand if you are over 60 with 21.7% of the population their have been 4,722 deaths still many with other factors contributing to or the principal cause of the death. If you take in the additional fact that among the population over 60 the chances of you having a contributing factor go way up. It becomes apparent how much more serous this disease is for the elderly.
Very true. Although, many of us have been screaming about it for months to no avail. It is a disease. It is not the end of the world. I'm just glad we are gradually getting back to more normal activities.
@texdawg, hope your son's season is taking a turn in the right direction...
We actually played a football game Friday, and host one in a few days...
One of my older brothers got the virus. Had low fevers that came and went and he got slowEd down. Said he drank green tea and he is all good now.
How much older?
Makes you wonder how much safer it would have been to put all that effort and protective measures into the targeted high risk categories/age groups instead of “spreading it around” and pushing blanket bans on things that were completely insignificant.
Alls well so far.
4A and smaller public schools started last week. Huge success.
5A and 6A public schools start 09/24.
My son is pvt school and his first game is also 09/24. Helmets and pads on Monday. And he has been back to school and in a real classroom for almost 2 weeks.
Dallas ISD kids are a different story......district is practicing an over abundance of caution.....don't know when they'll get to play....affects a couple of thousand kids....hopefully kids won't lose scholarship opportunities because of it.....but afraid some may.
Today's my last day in quarantine. It's been a true joy.
