I'm all in favor of full on cancellation of fall sports including football. Just wear your goddamn masks and hopefully in 2021 we'll be ready to try again.
What if in 2021, we are in the same position. Cancel sports again? This crap is not going away. We, as a society need to make adjustment and live our lives and move on. A vaccine will most likely be available by the fall of 2021, but how many people will take it. Not me! Does that pose a threat to sports? I say play ball but with no fans, Just like in MLB.
Assuming it works out, the vaccine will be key to containing this. If people continue to wear masks and get the goddamn vaccine (Just take it, not having that debate right now) yes we'll be fine for sports in 2021. Vaccination of athletes will likely be mandatory along with students who intend to come on campus.
That's my problem. I will not be forced to be vacainted by a rush job, hurry up drug. I also have a HUGE problem with government control, (socialism) telling me what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. If that means I cant go into any major sporting event, coliseum, etc..... So be it. I'll watch it on television!
Not looking to get political at all, but since EVERYTHING is political today, I expect half the country to get the vaccine; half not. I've heard that we need 50% compliance to achieve herd immunity, so a working vaccine could achieve that.
I agree with half the country wanting the vaccine and the other half not. I got the coronavirus back in March. I didn't even know I had it. I was checked three different times for the IgG antibodies and my numbers all came in very high. As far as I am concerned, I am protected. Now, that doesnt mean I will always have the antibodies, the same way getting the vaccine doesnt guarantee I will always have the antibodies against covid19.
If people are willing to get vacainted against covid19, by all means do it. I just have a major problem with the Goverment telling citizens they must, or its a law to get vacainted. And this is coming from a guy who worked for the Goverment.
Things are going to heat up big time in this country when the vaccine is readily available and the governors start mandating citizens to get vacainted, otherwise you cnt attend any big, social gatherings. Watch and see. That will happen.
