In response to section110
Deja vu.
The second week of March we were bemoaning the league's decision to cancel the Tournament. There were claims of hypocracy (coach Donahue) until the ECAC shut down hockey just a few days later. Harvard refused to participate or host, and so many of us pushed for the remaining schools to find an arena and hold the tournament without fans. I signed Byce Aiken's petition. The league was right, we were wrong, and the NCAA didn't take long to shut down conference tournaments and then March Madness.
We just set a record for hospitalizations in this country today. Deaths will increase. In some areas ICU's are already full. Schools will all send their students home before Thanksgiving, hoping to get the back in February. The focus will be students spreading COVID to their families and communities.
I remember when Dr. Fauci thought we'd hit 100,000 new cases a day. I'm wondering about 200,000.
If Biden was President, he'd be smart to consider a shutdown between Thanksgiving and the New Year. Maybe the new real task force will provide advice that honest governors can follow. Advice that likely won't include athletic.
