in the 12 days since you posted this, the total death toll is up to 22.8k confirmed COVID cases and 4.1k probable cases per the CDC. Whether it gets to 100k, who knows. The point is, the measures put in place keeping people indoors and away from each other is keeping that number lower than it could grow to become. That's why when you suggest people are going to start rioting because they can't go to the beach, you get clowned heavily. that dismissive attitude is in direct opposition to what top health professionals are advising: stay away from other people. Pushing sports to start up earlier than health officials advise just isn't worth the collateral damage caused by a potential second outbreak.

KD is a PG county legend, but whoever is running the All-Met account is saying that he isn't... He also says that Michael Beasly, Quinn Cook, Victor Oladipo etc aren't legends because they went to private school.
It's insane to me

Idk how strong the PG county league is...but WCAC GASSING it. I know their numbers were suppressed there...but cmon. He either saying the PG County Public league is phony (since all the talent play in private)...or WCAC THAT nice
Aquille put up bout 30ppg in the Baltimore city league...and he’s one of the best scorers to play high school in hs public ball on the east coast in a minute...and he gave them WCAC boys work too. MIAA/BCL also. Here, they ain’t too much of a difference in talent between public/private. It shifts over the years. But the cream rises to the crop. St Frances & Poly or a County school can be elite. Shoot...Patterson was known for Lacrosse before Aquille
And 40ppg in any high school league is special. I seen Kris Jenkins talking bout he putting that up
I live in PG coach youth basketball in the county, and high school ball in Alexandria.
There is legit talent and legit teams in PG county public school. A few years ago Wise was ranked number 1 inthe post, and Eleanor Roosevelt usually has a strong team every year. Ronald Polite was doing damage this year at Oxon Hill.
PG county ball can be very very strong especially at the 4A level, but a majority of the talent is in private schools
That being said nobody averaging 40 in public school lol

Second outbreak is gonna happen, its easy now to avoid it. Once people start going back to work, commuting, etc this gonna spread easier.

Like I said Individual sports like Golf and Tennis? Maybe
The road is much longer for team sports like basketball, hockey, football, baseball, and soccer.

^^^ I heard this morning that the PGA is planning to start a modified tour schedule in the Fall.
Might happen. I can see it - No galleries. Players caddy themselves. Everyone stays six feet apart during matches - maybe even have everyone wear lightweight masks during play. Scaled down TV and officiating crews, etc.
Golf is the sport that most easily can be adapted for social distance precautions, IMO.
Edit - I checked and the PGA actually is panning on holding an event in mid-June.

So what would it take for people to be comfortable with bringing sports back again ?

PGA is looking shooting for june. it's plausible, but will need lots of screening precautions for the groundscrew, participants, and officials. our local courses have mostly been open and they've been absolutely packed, but there's plenty of precautions in place to keep people apart.
it's going to need public confidence, and precautions for whatever participants in place. finishing the nba in a central location is plausible, but you have to think of all the ancillary people behind the scenes that make it viable. it's not as cut and dry as some people make it out to be.

That’s a good summary. Agreed.
I also have mixed feelings about team sports resuming play without fans because I think about the ancillary team personnel and arena workers, etc. who still won’t have jobs. But at the same I recognize that back to full scale or nothing does not make sense. I know the reopening of the country, sports included, is going to need to happen incrementally.

I ask that because anything short of a vaccination is dangerous as hell and if we’re waiting for a vaccination then this isn’t gonna end before sometime in 2021
so I think it’s likely then, that the NBA return some time in the summer with no fans but that it’ll be without fans for A LONG TIME and that’ll obviously affect the cap, tv, etc

For me personally, WAY more answers.
We're still too collectively unsure about this thing, so it's going to be a while in my opinion. And I love sports, I do. Definitely a fiend, and this is killing me, but I don't want anything to resume until till we collectively have entirely more answers.

If I was a player, given what happened to towns, I would be reallyyyy cautious abt the league returning
like you’re a pro you’re not gonna Have symptoms but all it takes is one guy to have covid and be asymptomatic and carry it home to his girl, his family her family and grandparents and boom.
Zach Lowe mentioned how the NBA may resume with the league having to play around guys contracting the virus and I don’t agree with this at all but I could see it happening because no matter how stifling quarantining can be, someone will probably come down with it and if so, boom.

The towns thing did me in. Idk how I could be comfortable with guys playing without a vaccine. The level of quarantining to make sure that NO ONE within the NBAsphere contracts covid for the duration of the season would have to be insane.
