MD, very much respect your opinion and your posts are usually quite informative. Please for the love of god, quit defending anything that DocBarrister posts. Even if there is a kernel of truth in it, hes purposefully divisive, rude, xenophobic at times and has some sort of agenda that for the life of me I cant figure out. Cut the crap with this QAnon Conspiracy bullcrap. There can and does exists too schools of thought in regards to the pandemic. The truth probably lies closer to the middle. Nothing about Europe's society can be compared to our society, its bad comparison in a multitude of ways. If the colleges want to proceed to go ahead with College Football, its THEIR DAMN prerogative. It has not bearing on whether or not there will be a 2021 Lacrosse Season. That decision will come in a few months as we continue to gain an even better understanding of this disease and all the risk factors/treatments/immunity thresholds. I am young person myself, a LOT younger than most of the posters on here. I DO NOT think this virus is joke. But the response to it has been completely OVERBLOWN. I am allowed to have that opinion and not be told its QAnon conspiracy bullcrap. As someone living in Nassau County NY I see the effect the stringent restrictions continue to have on MANY aspects of society on a daily basis. A lot of these effects are quite negative and are most certainly caused by THE RESTRICTIONS, not the virus itself. When you have a governor that is a pompous as King ANDY he will fool you into thinking that his and ONLY his actions are the reason NY continues to be the safest place in the US relatively speaking in regards to the CV-19. He refuses and purposefully chooses not to acknowledge many other factors that are much more scientific in nature. The virus running RAMPANT in NY for quite a while and infecting a very large portion of the susceptible population within the NY Metro Area has had a massive effect as well. I going into to work every day in Queens NY, not everybody is wearing masks and practicing good hygiene. There are other factors at play here, the illness seems to be much milder in nature whether that is due to the age profile of who it is infecting/susceptible population dwindled due to having it early on/MUCH improved testing and tracing etc. Its a combination of all those factors. I promised you masks are only one part of the equation. There are many other factors, please keep those mind. I know you know this but you constantly try to paint people like JBFortunato as some "right wing" looney when in fact he is NOT wrong. As a young person who does not have a wife and children yet, various aspects of the restrictions really do affect me in psychological way. When you have a family and kids its a much different story, having to stay locked inside for two months with them during a quarantine. So please don't knock younger people for acting the way they do, I am sure you did it at one point and it probably helped to shape the adult you are today in a positive manner. Those experiences were invaluable to your life. A family friend who is a doctor said to m recently while acknowledging the serious of the virus, "Human beings are meant to live their lives, not go to all costs finding ways to not die" I felt this rang true, there is much more to life than to stop it as we know it at all costs to avoid dying. We take more and more risks a this pandemic continue to get better, and yes I think it has gotten much better than March/April. This is relatively speaking, nobody is saying its all roses but the negativity helps NOBODY, not a soul. Negativity falsely posited as, "just posting the facts/reality is nonsense" One can always find positivity in anything and this Pandemic is no different. The more positive we stay, the more we can use that positivity to continue to hell ourselves out of this situation. This "NEW NORMAL" bullcrap is so counterproductive, because ultimately no matter how bad it seems this situation is only TEMPORARY.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:33 pm Telling people to jump off the cliff, there's a soft landing...trust me
