Have you heard anything from anyone in communication with the Florida governor's office on the prospects of the season? I've spoken with school officials in California who say they have not had much of any communication with Gavin Newsom, and that what they're hearing is all over the place from a vastly different day to there being no in-person classes to start the year. We are totally in the dark in California on this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are totally in the dark in California on this now. The very start of the school year/football season is 120 days away. It's not surprising that little has been discussed yet. But don't worry. Florida is an emotion over logic state. So we will definitely have football, baby! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not surprising that little has been discussed yet. But don't worry. Florida is an emotion over logic state. So we will definitely have football, baby! I'd argue that emotion over logic is fueling the push to keep everything locked down indefinitely. You don't arrest and cite someone alone in the ocean, surfing by themselves, because you've identified others he is near and might infect with a virus. You do that when you've panicked, decided to abandon social distancing policies and instead declare everything closed, no matter whether they can operate according to social distancing guidelines or not. Anyway, this figures to be highly interesting if nothing else. Florida has a Trump boot-licker for Governor. California's leadership skews heavily left, and is prone to a bleeding heart syndrome that tends to take them to policies running contrary to some of their ostensible goals. (No group is more adversely impacted by an extended shutdown than poor students, most of whom are of color). We could see a scenario where Florida high schools play, and California schools do not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally wrong. The lockdowns have always had definite dates wherein the lockdown would be assessed and extended as needed. The people calling for it to be ended are totally and completely without medical or scientific merit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but, again, this is about choosing between two bad options. Just because poor students will fall behind more than others doesn't mean, therefore, that schools should be reopened without question.

The lockdowns have always had definite dates wherein the lockdown would be assessed and extended as needed. The people calling for it to be ended are totally and completely without medical or scientific merit. You're referring to the public announcements. Reading between the lines, and having friends of friends working in the governor's office who have access to trial calendars, it is obvious they have set dates in mind well beyond what they've shared. All indications are that no significant portion of the lockdown will be lifted prior to June, even though, publicly, there's another date listed. Many of us are not calling for it to be ended entirely. We're calling for detailed plans, with objective, measurable criteria for opening various sectors given certain outcomes to be made public. We're calling for much more than six unanswered questions described as indicators. Johan Giesecke is not calling for nations that implemented a lockdown to reopen suddenly and immediately. But, he does have a lot of very interesting points. And you can't find an epidemiologist on the planet who's any more esteemed in the field than he is. The Sweden model explained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because poor students will fall behind more than others doesn't mean, therefore, that schools should be reopened without question. The point is salient because public discourse typically doesn't involve the need to consider all aspects of this. It's broken down along tribal lines, which should be embarrassing to all of us. Either you're a conspiracy-loving Trump moron and you want everything lifted immediately OR you're opposed to ANY concern given to reopening, operating by the mantra "As long as there is one single case, everyone must shelter in place! All just to stick it to Trump. Newsom MIGHT prove to have done a good job with this. BUT, he must provide measurable objectives by which various things can reopen to the public. Playing games around what is shared and what is not, and when, is BAD policy. Unprecedented steps have been taken resulting in a significant curtailing of basic civil liberties. The LEAST that can be done is to be fully trasnparent and forthcoming with the citizens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per what has been made available to the public, it IS indefinite. Newsom just said Wednesday he will NOT yet provide any date. So, the very definition of an "indefinite date". Rumors from what is heard from someone working in the governor's office (June 15 is the date trials begin appearing on the calendar) can't be relied on or seen as "definite". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Fauci said, the virus sets the timetable. Not human beings. No. I'm not expecting dates informing what the virus will do. I'm expecting metrics to be announced around how restrictions will change based on various outcomes of the virus. "After __ days of a decline in the rate of new cases, gatherings of up to 10 will be allowed". "As long as use of beds in hospitals/ICU units remains at or below __% of capacity, restaurants which have reconfigured to allow for social distancing will be able to welcome dine-in customers". Etc. All just very rough examples of what I'm expecting. Nothing of the kind requires anyone to know what the actual outcomes with the virus will be.
