Growing up in Rochester during the 1970s, before I moved back to New Jersey after Bonas, the Bills were an afterthought. I was a lifelong Giants fan (my dad was a season ticket holder at the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium) and took my ribbing from "fans" of of the Steelers, Fins, Boys, Rams, Raiders, etc, or the bandwagon teams. I think of attending a game in Orchard Parlk (I did go to a game at the old Rock Pile AKA War Memorial Stadium) as a college experience. Small town feel where the fans arrive 2-3 days in advance with RVs. Frat boy atmosphere in parking lot, real people. Hope to attend game there one day but not this year. In case you missed it here's schedule. I have to shell out the dough for a lousy Giants team. Ouch. One day they will rebound but for now I'm stuck with Big Blue. Best to the Bills in 2020:

The Steelers game has potential to be a great Bona\Bills weekend. Either with home game or Big Four game in Buffalo with plenty of time to sleep in.

hahaha - Still have to love Goodell moving ahead with the draft and putting out the 2020 schedule.
The other sports should and will follow suit - this "run and hide" strategy has never been the American way and is failing the nation miserably. Herd Immunity is needed - the sooner the better.
Think about it - College is the perfect environment for Herd Immunity to take hold. The students as a group are 99 % unaffected and asymptomatic even if contracted. The Virus can be passed on and immunities developed so that by the time the students return home for the holidays - they won't and pass it to their elderly relatives.
For that matter - pro athletes are in the same Demographic. Stadium restrictions, etc will likely be necessary initially but the risk to the actual athletes is akin to the FLU. College Football stadiums can start by only allowing students and luxury box attendees to start the season if all the so-called experts are still preaching doom and gloom.

College Football stadiums can start by only allowing students and luxury box attendees to start the season if all the so-called experts are still preaching doom and gloom. I actually admire the actions of the NBA Commissioner far more - he was the first to recognize the severity of this threat and shut down his league to save how many lives of NBA players - and set the precedent for the NCAA and other sports leagues to do the same. Especially when you consider this virus hits African Americans harder than any other part of the population Goodell is simply riding good fortune - his league is the least affected - having a remote draft was as safe as can be and no harm in putting out a schedule as if business as usual while in the meantime he can have Plan B and Plan C. I think you are out of your mind if you think parents who love their child to such a degree that they would pay so much money to their education would throw their kids into your herd immunization experiment - far more likely they have their loved one stay close to home and take remote courses for the fall until everyone sees better how this develops. |

You do understand that the models have been totally wrong from the very beginning ... Herd Immunity is not my "Experiment" - it is how all Viruses are beaten (Not hiding and waiting years for a Vaccine to be developed). The goal should be to open the economy back up as quickly as possible, while protecting our most susceptible members of society. You can do both. The data shows that the 18-40 demographic is barely effected (Students / Pro-Athletes)... Sports should be at the very top of the list of Businesses to "re-open" from a minimal Risk standpoint. That's all I'm saying.
BTW - The NBA is following the NFLs lead. They will be the next to re-open.

That's all I'm saying. Is it possible to reach herd immunity before a vaccine? Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz, an epidemiologist specializing in chronic disease, wrote in The Guardian that a reasonable estimate for COVID-19’s herd immunity threshold is 60-70 percent of the population. (Meyerowitz-Katz also acknowledges that CDC data suggests the number might be more like 85 percent.) If we were to simply let people spread the coronavirus unmitigated until 70 percent are infected, that means roughly 230 million Americans would get sick. If we also assume the best-case fatality rate of 0.3-0.6 percent — a figure which presumes a health-care system with ample resources and space — that means about 690,000 to 1.4 million Americans would die in order to achieve herd immunity. Many, many more would get very seriously ill, and overwhelm those resources we need to keep the fatality rate that low. |

Your response is filled with false choices and a total lack of understanding models and the role of assumptions in them - did you really graduate from Bonas ? All Im saying - in such serious times where the US just passed 75,000 deaths - why would you not follow the direction of life long experts and medical opinions ..rather than those of any politicians or their appointees who wish to please who appointed them - Stay safe - you may need it ! Another hits the iggy list.... |
