The truth is that virus spikes are connected to heatwaves in lots of areas. It's very likely that going inside, retreating into air conditioning is what has spread this virus to a degree. So those liberals, like you, who said "close the beaches!!" are definitely a part of the problem.

To a degree? Likely? What health experts are saying that "air conditioning" is a significant means of transmission?

Strict lockdowns have contributed to the virus because you are more likely to get this inside in air conditioning than outside on a beach.

Without the lockdowns people wouldn't all be at the beach. The very great vast majority would be at work, riding mass transit (buses, skytrains, etc), at bars, clubs, restaurants, malls packed with people, etc. If C-19 were just treated like "another flu season" the death toll would have been multiplied at least several times & hospitals overwhelmed. Many businesses would have had to shut down anyway due to sicknesses.

I have heard the same thing. You are more likely to catch it inside than outside.

When inside at a party, more people are closer to each other spreading germs while the air circulates. Have a drink or 2 and people get closer and closer to each other

If you were to have a gathering, do it outside

Funny how we are debating college football as what college kid is ACTUALLY going to follow the rules?

It's very likely these college football players will have a greater chance to get the virus without football than if they play.

It's like the closing schools argument. Every day for the last 3 months, there are hundreds of high school students gathered outside, no distancing. I'm sure they're going to people's houses and do the same thing.

Canceling school doesn't change the fact that these kids exist and they're not socially distancing.

That's just an illusion that the left uses to destroy the country.

That depends. If you're alone at home you're probably safer inside than out at a crowded bar, for example.

OTOH if you live with 10 other people in a single room then you're probably safer after you've jumped out of an airplane while skydiving.

Reportedly BTW Sweden has a lot of people that live alone. And not many of the races (blacks, Asians, etc) that are more likely to be infected.

Safer? You're assuming that you die if you get the virus. We know there's a 99.96% chance you won't die though, and more like 99.999% if you're under 50, so no, you're a sensationalist retard.

These college students are gonna get it from partying and such. Nothing to do with going to class. My neighbor just left for FSU this morning. She's been home with her parents for the last 5 months. She lives in this AWESOME apartment complex. You really think she's going to social distance?

As for schools, thats a tough call. I'm not so worried about my kids getting it as they are young. I'm scared that they'll transmit it to me, my wife, or another family member.

However i did vote that my kids go face 2 face to school but we're all starting virtual for now

Football or not, those inclined to act irresponsibly are likely to act irresponsibly.

Likewise those inclined to act responsibly are likely to act responsibly.

The decision to cancel sports at least puts into their heads the idea that they should act in accordance with it in their lives.

This is a silly opinion. You think a college football player will say "Hmm, I won't go to this party with these hot girls to fuck because they canceled football so this must be serious."

Have you ever meet a college aged person?

What actually is happening here, is that these college football players will have 1000 times more free time than if they played football, so they will take 1000 times more risky decisions, thus increasing their chances of contracting the virus.

So nice job.

No, as i've said before, & posted articles regarding, there's more negative health effects to be concerned with C-19 than just dying.

Moreover, again, there's more than a young person himself, if he's even healthy, to be concerned about, since people have parents & grandparents & come into contact with other people who are vulnerable.

160K + dead in months with lockdowns, etc. Over 700K on the ball. Millions already without the safety measures.

College football players will have more time to spend with their grandparents if they're not playing football than if they are.

Thanks for playing.

This is getting repetitive. Football itself is a high risk factor for infections.

And if they are playing they'll have more time around old coaches & referees, plus close face to face contact with immune weakened teammates & others. Additionally also a greater chance of infection to potentially spread to others.

Herd immunity. Sure beats not achieving herd immunity and also destroying the global economy.

Nice job by Sweden achieving herd immunity!

They aren't even wearing masks, almost zero people wearing masks in the entire country.
