It's scientifically proven. 350 deaths from school aged kids since Covid started.... there were 2700 deaths from teenage drivers in 2019 alone. Isn't 99.8% survival rate pretty good? And that's of the cases we know. We haven't seen that it's an absolute must for them to get vaccinated. 🤷♂️ "Vaccinated" Because surviving is all that matters. Who cares about long term health complications when our freedom of going maskless is in jeopardy. Priorities out of whack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck of an option you've came up with! My priorities are LITERALLY my students and players having their lives go back to normal. There is a virus out there that, from what we've seen, does not hamper them in anyway. The science backs that. Could there be long term effects? I mean.. yeah there could be. There are risks in everything. You could fall down the stairs, you could get in a wreck, you could have a heart attack, etc. Why are you so scared of living? Aren't you vaccinated? From what we've seen from Covid as far as teenagers go... your fear is wayyyyyy out of whack. It doesn't align with reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falling down the stairs would be an accident. Refusing to wear a mask is willful negligence. Apples to oranges. The only way we get back to normal is if we get the pandemic under control.

Hoosierfan1901 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Believe it or not, I think we will have a QB issue this season, wasn’t too impressed, but our guy has only started 2 games at QB in his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone got vaccinated and obeyed rules the last year then the virus wouldn't still be so prevelent Not to deter this convo but Covid is here to stay…likely forever. Vaccinated are getting it and passing it. Masks have limited protection when most people transmit it asymptotically and from family member to another. This virus is too transmissible to be stopped and will be like the flu virus and just move from one hemisphere to another. Heck even if we do find a true vaccine it can move to animals as a host to survive before returning in a new variant that will get by vaccines. Luckily over time viruses mutate to be more transmissible but all get less lethal. Unless people plan to get Covid shots every year (good luck we couldn’t get people to get flu shots) and even then it won’t stop it. We might as well get used to living with it and worry about those with co-morbidities and older folks and the rest of us get back to our lives. Vaccines are great but with a virus that changes this rapidly will always be chasing our tail. More emphasis should be on therapeutics imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, Harrison only had started out with 65 players before the 2019 season, and midway through it, ended up only having 26 before our game against them. It’s pretty sad considerably how nice their stadium is.

I somewhat understand Bosse, but Harrison is somewhat surprising, since they did have some success a couple of years ago. It could be coaching or just players uninvolved or just doesn’t care. Harrison’s enrollment numbers have been pretty steady over the years. Bosse’s numbers are slowly dropping, which is one of the reasons. Another reason is people transferring from the program. And possibly some controversies from the recent coaches. They did have a sectional championship appearance in 2017 too Edited August 15, 2021 by Hoosierfan1901 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
