YupIf we had an upvote/downvote system in the politics thread, after enough down votes, that post is replaced with this and you get PM'd this every hour for the rest of the day...Again, there's no right answer. Stop acting like there is one.
There are obvious drawbacks to every choice and there's not enough information to determine which is the least of evils.

At least right now unorganized activities look OK in my neighborhood. Where I am there is a soccer field, baseball field, basketball court and a couple tennis courts that are pretty busy all day. I live close to an elementary school.Aren’t after school activities of all kinds being discontinued though?Interesting read. What about the kids that don't play organized sports in high school or college. Don't the majority just watch sports? I was just an uncoordinated kid that only played with other neighborhood kids like me in a few sports at our local parks. In college there was no chance to play anything but pick-up games with friends. I don't think I suffered any great damage by being a nerd. Then again, maybe I did and just don't realize it.

I realize there's potential for both false positives and false negatives, but I hope for the sake of people who would come in contact with him, he would still do a 14 day quarantine in the off chance the 2nd test was incorrect.

Hmmm. Suddenly Freddie has nothing to say about getting infected with COVID at church.
Stupid evidence, always getting in the way.

He said it's a non-factor and there was little to no evidence that church attendance is responsible for COVID transmission.
The post on the prior page goes against that position.

I’m fairly certain he posted actual data points on transmission at church.He said it's a non-factor and there was little to no evidence that church attendance is responsible for COVID transmission.

I'll wait for FR to continue the discussion if he chooses. I don't have a dog in the fight so I'm not going to drill on him if he's not interested.

Because he scrolled by the case study and didn't acknowledge it despite being the flag bearer of this issue. He's fully aware of it now and can choose to discuss it or ignore it. When it comes up again in a few days/weeks/months I'll point him back to it.
What I'm not going to do is speak for him or give a one-sided speech. I value his thoughts on the issue and have nothing to gain from soap boxing on it. Nor do I have anything to gain from continuing this line of questioning with you. Thank you for your input.

Not surprised by that at all. I think similar last minute drop out rates will be common at many places. Next year will be quite brutal...

To be fair, does one story about one guy getting it at a church and spreading it to 91 people really put the nail in the coffin?He said it's a non-factor and there was little to no evidence that church attendance is responsible for COVID transmission.

I mean, im sure there are a lot of one offs like that for a lot of different places.
Is there more data available indicating widespread issues associated with church attendance? I'm asking.

What's interesting about that church graphic is there are at least 4 instances of minors passing it on to adults if that's a complete contact tracing study.
16->39
15->54
18->44
12->44
16->56
That would point to the ability of Middle and High School students specifically passing the virus along to adults, which their transmission ability/effectiveness has been called into question throughout the pandemic.

No one ever said church's can't be a place where Covid is spread..
The discussion many moons ago was whether or not they are a significant source of infections, which pointing to what four or five examples out of the 10's of thousands churches in the United States is not an argument for that.

I think it just means it can spread at church just like any other gathering.To be fair, does one story about one guy getting it at a church and spreading it to 91 people really put the nail in the coffin?He said it's a non-factor and there was little to no evidence that church attendance is responsible for COVID transmission.

"Nail in the coffin"..... phrasing? I'm sure for some of them, literally yes.To be fair, does one story about one guy getting it at a church and spreading it to 91 people really put the nail in the coffin?He said it's a non-factor and there was little to no evidence that church attendance is responsible for COVID transmission.

Freddy himself posted a story that linked 650 cases of transmission to in-person church attendance at only 40 locations. (He shared the story and somehow managed to divine the takeaway from that that there were not any other cases of transmission at the other 5,000 churches - his number - in the country, as opposed to recognizing that 650 out of 40 means potentially tens of thousands of transmissions directly related to church, but okay)
