This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's not a fair question by jt
Perhaps a better question would be, "how many 18-22 year old carriers passed the virus on to someone that was at risk, and how many of those people died?"
I don't know the answer to that question, but I would imagine that it isn't a small risk.
Right now, the best bet is to keep moving forward, collect more data, and see where things go. These guys are certainly planning to re-start (the Michigan guy will be put in his place shortly) but instead of just blindly cheering this on and being glad football is coming back, we should try and hold these guys accountable and make sure that all necessary safety protocols are followed and adjustments are made. I'm somewhat confident that something can be done to make this safer, but I don't think just saying things like, "Oh, they aren't at risk anyway" is very productive.
