New ACC Thread (and statement on thread derailment)

Those medical schools teach by rote - which is how they learned.

Quick question - MERS or SARS had a really high death rate - and no one did a damned thing.

How's that work?

Quick answer there’s science and fiction, I’ll take science. Ohio State and the Big10 had some of the top professionals in the country( heck what states the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic inhabit) weigh in and the conference shut it down. Here is a quick question for you: Why did the conference turn down the opportunity to generate 800 million in revenue? Maybe they should have checked with you. Oh btw,the remaining Power 3 are checking notes with the Big 10 quite often, and the decision to play is far from assured.

Or you are dumber than the Big 10’s Doctors, but we shall see. I hope she lives but f’ it YOLO!

Duke is the lynchpin strangely - it’s the best school in the ACC/SEC/B12 and their Doctor is propping the entire thing up. If Duke bails (1st team to bail on March Madness) then season over for everyone IMHO.

I don’t know TheEye or you...but what do you mean by “I hope she lives”?!? Hopefully that was a poor attempt at humor. There’s no place for that in here bro

I am just a bit closer to the Big 10 situation than most and very informed on the events in Cbus and I’m not here to get in a ****ing match. That being said I posted in late July the Big10 season was in big trouble and my guys insight has been correct ever since. They made the right call and a few extra practices mean absolutely nothing unless you play football this fall and once the dress rehearsal is over, i don’t see football in any of the power 5s. Don’t sell the Big 10 short on med schools as Michigan and Norfhwestern university hospitals are in the top 20 hospitals in the country, the ACC has. Zero and my post referenced med schools.

There are plenty of lists and both conferences have some great institutions The Big 10 also has the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic at its disposal for advice. My hope is everyone makes the right call for the players. Be well my man​

Top professionals? The same professionals who through error kill a quarter million Americans each year?

Same professionals early on told us the truth - that masks do no good - and recently changed it? In spite of testing of masks that show they don't work?

Same professionals that have been wrong every step of the way as this "crisis" has progressed? We don't have to worry about it - we DO have to worry about it - which is it? The numbers say we don't. The mouths say we do.

The same professionals that had to resort to do miscounts of CV-19 cases? The same professionals who STILL do miscounts of cases? Miscounts of deaths?

The same professionals who demanded testing - developed tests - and folks who initially got in line - but were elderly and couldn't stay in the long lines left before getting tested - but were informed later that they tested positive?

These professionals?

Ok you win! Hope you stay well. I will continue to trust science, you can believe whatever you choose, sounded like a Fox News or OAN infomercial! Oh btw, I’ll tell Gene Smith to call you next time they have a decision to make as I see you failed to answer that question. Also my wife is a retired “one of those professionals” who used science and 12 hour shifts to try save patients in ICU Units for over 25 years. It never made a difference what color, religion, political party, etc the patient may have been, just dedicated to using science and the knowledge of THAT DAY ( it evolved) to give a person one more breath.

I like Cleveland but don’t know enough about Miami. They come to Cleveland from all over the world and these people can go anywhere.

See? You just had to go there - get all political and twisted up - OAN - FOX News.

Your science is wrong. That's not science - it's voodoo medicine. Sure, it's a virus, it's contagious, and when combined with other life-threatening illnesses and conditions where there is little or no immune system - just like a regular flu or pneumonia - that can be enough to push them over.

These "professionals" resorted to publishing and pushing "proofs" of different studies - that later were discovered to be outright fabrications! If it was so bad - why didn't THEY do their own studies? Why quote completely fraudulent studies?

It's because THEIR science - pure science - verified numbers - doesn't support any of this BS noise we're getting pounded with. Half-truths, misrepresentations, lies, and misinformation.

Which works on gullible people.

All those hospitals you listed?

Get all those top doctors, virologists, specialists - all of them. Load up syringes with SARS, MERS, West Nile, CV-19 - big syringes with large doses of these viruses - and give us all - me and them - a massive injection of these viruses.

I have no idea how many will die - but I do know ONE thing: I'll never suffer the first symptom.

And they're the experts . . . I'll take my chances with biophysics.

***** medicine when it comes to viruses. Medicine is a one-trick pony.

And we can all see how good they are at what they are supposed to be the experts on.
 
The student athletes are safer on campus and playing football. They are the healthiest people on the planet and may pose more of a risk to their communities as asymptomatic carriers than to each other in a more controlled environment with routine testing. Dr. Frenk is doing the right thing by relying on his Public Health training and using data-driven protocols--instead of emotions--to make decisions, which is what physicians are trained to do.

The decision to play is a risk/reward analysis. The risk is a lawsuit(s) for mortality & morbidity that could be tied to COVID19 (now or at some point in the future), not simply testing positive. The reward is a national championship. If there is no chance at attaining the reward, even the most statistically-remote risk can drive a decision.

The teams/conferences that don't want to play have little-to-no chance at winning a championship. Whereas, the teams/conferences that have a high likelihood of winning a championship want to play. It's as simple as that and has nothing to do with the risk COVID19 posses to healthy teens with elite cardiovascular fitness.

Good luck I hope you stay well. My wife happened to be “one of those professionals”

Simple psych journal review in undergraduate work reveals that. Imagine a full blown diagnosis from a professional?
