Hopefully this is the gamechanger we have been waiting for weeks.
Correct.Isn't the testing only for contact sports? It would end the season for football, soccer and others, but if we're non-contact I wouldn't think it would affect us.
Agreed. Involvement of lawyers screw-up much of life.Asinine everything. Not sure where I posted it, but I was in North Royalton yesterday and there was a petition being walked around Demanding that School be in person. Demanding that Football be allowed to be played without restrictions. Saying kids couldn't be tested for Covid. (I have no idea the legitimacy of the petitions or if they got any support at all or if it was one guy that fizzled out after 30 minutes, but he was out there going door to door.) I found the entire thing odd, but it was football specific for being allowed to play and no kids would be allowed to be tested. Nothing about other sports. At least the 10 seconds I let it go on until I said I'm not a resident. Where is the common ground for all of us? How do we get kids back in school and playing sports and all the other stuff they should be doing? My hope was that we work to get numbers down to something we can test and trace and manage and we would be ok. Doesn't seem to look like we can do that. Now lawyers. It will never happen if lawyers are involved.

What I think CAN BE IMPLEMENTED is scanning foreheads thermally by both schools & athletic departments. This is financially & quickly implemented. Not 100% certain, but nothing ever is. However, it is another doable screening methodology.
The governor said the testing does not apply to H.S. sports.The governor just mentioned covid-19 rapid testing. The website below made these claims among others.
- Accurate, objective and automated results in 15 minutes
- Accurate detection with direct samples
- Fluorescent technology with automated read allows for an objective result that eliminates the subjectivity of a visual read.
- Up to 20 test results within an hour
COVID-19 Employee Rapid Testing
Employers need to manage work in a way that protects the health of their staff and the general public. Call (855) 232-0644 to set-up COVID-19 testing today.www.mobilephysicianservices.com
I saw that as well...80K tests/day may not be enough for HS sports across the country, however. We shall see.CNBC had a company(RUCDR) on this morning that claims to be able to test 80,000 home saliva kits per day for Covid-19
Order kit, take spit sample, UPS to them, result in 24 to 48 hours, 99% reliable.
What are we protesting for or against? For sports to be allowed. For in person classes or against. I don't want to look all stupid if I show up and I'm on the wrong side. To be honest with you, I'm kind of against Football. Not cuz of Covid, just in general all of a sudden. Can I be for sports, but against Football. Just for a year. By the way, I've heard Woodridge CC is looking pretty good.We may get to run, but where? We have two meets on our schedule already cancelled, and conference along with school on hold.
It seems the Pre State meet is still a go.
Parent protest scheduled for 4pm today at the Bay BOE
So, how are you liking Georgia. That hot bed of Liberalism. Bet you aren't dealing with the problems of should there be in person schooling and all that. You just passed us here in Ohio with total number of Covid Deaths. Guess that means it's time to open everything up down there. Bring me some Boiled Peanuts.The Boardman Spartan Meet is going to have to get real creative to pull that meet off.
Was very aware that cross country is now a "non-contact sport", but I can envision a number of scenarios where whole cross country teams may need to be tested.
Very sad. Upsetting. It's nice golfing down there. Enjoy that.Psycho I am living on a golf course and staying away from the drama. My neighbor who lives around the block just passed from the COVID-19. You might know him his name is Herman Caine. No joke.
I wouldnt shed a tear if we had XC but not football. Hell, I wouldnt shed a tear if we had no in person school, but had XC Maybe it would help me get our XC participation numbers up, idk. Anything to get my team in a better position once this ruddy virus lets up. Anything to not repeat the disaster that was our 2019 season.What are we protesting for or against?
