    Without the hysteria there would be no motivation to stop college football or the rest of the economy for that matter.

    LOL@ hysteria.

    If the hoax crowd had just done the things, we'd be done by now. But, but muh freedom won, though, so here we are.

    How many studios are open in LA? How many sports events are going to be held there? How many concerts? But the WholeFoods is open, right? The Pot stores are open.. the liquor stores are open... Picking winners and losers. It's what democrats/socialists think they are good at... And so far, are batting zero.

    Ya we did do those things. We locked down, stayed indoors, lost our jobs, wore masks, and social distanced. '15 days to flatten the curve', remember? Its been 5 months, and in many liberal states things are still shut down. Of course riots, protests, and 6 funerals for Floyd were fine

    I personally am done with the masks, distancing, and the rest of the lefts bullshit

    FYI, are you unaware of why just about everything is closed, and why they are being closed. Only the naive think this virus is political.

    Here is something to chew on ....
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/health/florida-coronavirus-children/index.html
    Covid-19 hospitalizations among children in Florida rose from 213 to 436 during that same period, a 105% increase. Deaths among children rose from four to seven in Florida during that period.

    You do you, just don't be outraged when other people make different choices. You do support the Big 10's right to make their own decisions, yes?

    We never had enough compliance to make it work. The citizens of most of the other countries had a far greater compliance, so it worked for them.

    In America and Brazil, the idiots trump and bolsonaro have made things infinitely worse by turning the pandemic into a political football.

    And there it is and exactly the point, the players want to play, the school has onsite testing. The players have healthcare, food, stipends, room and board all while they play. Otherwise many go back to poor conditions back home where the street life is prevalent. So you do you and let them follow their dream for their life, it's theirs's after all.

    Worse, they were forewarned, saw what was going on in the other states, had the audacity to think it wouldn't reach them, and now they are in a serious crisis. All due to themselves.

    Right. It's a Democrat[ic] HOAX! - one in which someone has gone to a lot of bother:

    The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. has surpassed five million, by far the highest in the world, as the pandemic keeps spreading rapidly across the country.

    Just ignore all those victims, and the high level of infectiousness by people of all ages.

    "We have very few people with it,
    and the people that have it are … getting better! They’re all getting better!"

    "We've done a great job in keeping it down to a minimum!
    we've had tremendous success — tremendous success —
    beyond what people would have thought!"

    Screen Shot 2020-02-21 at 12.42.28 PM.png
    "And again, when you have 15 people [infected],
    and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero,
    that's a pretty good job we've done!"

    "People are really surprised I understand this stuff! Every one of these doctors said,
    'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability!"

    It's up to the owners of the events to decide. I can't decide what products go on sale or which movie the theater will show next week. I can't decide the theme park should be open the hours I want to ride coasters.

    They still have free college, right? They can study and learn.

    Here in NJ we have open air dining and drinking. If I want to out, I do, I follow the laws, wear my mask and make the best of an ugly situation. Your suggestion that this is fabricated by Democrats is just more RW conspiracy BS, and its time for them to act mature.

    Maybe this will be similar to all those other crazy RW conspiracies? You know, things like:
    Flynn being exonerated
    Trump campaign being spied on
    Epstein being a pedophile
    Clinton a frequent flyer on Epsteins plane
    Russia collusion
    Rampant pedophilia in Hollywood
    Media bias
    Social media banning conservatives
    etc
    etc
    etc

    Why purposefully try to mischaracterize what I wrote. I suggested if you're afraid, stay home. If you aren't why chirp like you are? Why demand that everyone else around you do things for you? I suggest the virus is fabricated, in a lab from Wuhan. If democrats (like Obama and Biden who funded that skunk works) had a part in that, don't you think it might be said that it has been "fabricated by democrats"? I think that's fair, given the evidence. But sure, if the world around you scares you, don't go out into it. And if others aren't as courteous as you describe yourself, At least you tried to protect them from you. One hopes you don't use a neck gator or other similar method... But sure, you tried. Brava.

    Just add the oxygen mask right to the football helmet . Add a ultraviolet light, and spray each player with Lysol mist at intervals

    PLAY BALL!! :)
    Edit: add Hydroxychloroquine 200mg tablets to the GaterAid if Doctor approves)

    Ahh I see you don't know, many of these are online classes with no one at the school which means the same crappy place they were attempting to get away from. No healthcare, No great meals, No Stipend.....
