CNN's fear porn debunked: https://www.kristv.com/news/coronavi...-covid-numbers
- 85 is the number since March. Not a sudden spike as CNN wants you to believe so you poop your pants and keep watching.
- Most found through contact tracing, not because of being sick
- None died from COVID.

And just for good measure, they weren't all babies. 33 were between 1 and 2: https://www.necn.com/news/coronaviru...ecord/2299445/

Stop watching CNN Bobby. Be better.

Thank you, was just about ready to post this info!

Well, Breitbart says most of the cases are in a 2 week July period.
Are they fake news?

I don't think it was overplayed by CNN. If you've had 85 cases since mid-March, and 60 of them in the last 2 weeks, that looks like a surge to me.

Are you talking about cases or tests? Or are they the same? It’s amazing how much more you’ll find something when you are looking for it.

Huh? They said tested positive. Call it what you'd like.

SWAC has cancelled their fall sports.

[xubrew]

The NCAA Board of Governors meets on Friday and will likely discuss whether or not to cancel the Fall championships. Now, this would not include FBS football since that is not an NCAA Championship, but it would include FCS, D2, and D3 football, as well as all other fall sports in all three divisions. It also doesn't mean that schools couldn't go ahead and play a season if they really wanted to. It just means that at the end of it, there would be no NCAA Tournament, and in most cases most schools won't want to play.

I don't know what they'll do. I'm not even sure if I have an opinion anymore on what I think they should do. I do know that players only get four seasons, and if I were them (and I'm not) I don't think I'd be all that excited about wasting one of them on whatever whatever the hell this Fall is going to end up looking like if they do go ahead and play.

It's obvious that college sports as we know it will not happen this fall. They may happen in some shape or form, but a lot of what we like about sports won't be there. Will players and fans even want that?? Will it be like watching a really good R rated movie on network TV? It just won't be the same.

I lol'ed at the R-rated movie bit :D

At this point I would sign up for a conference only season with no fans. I will take what I can get.

At this point I'd settle for winter sports. As things stand now I'm not entirely convinced we are going to get basketball this year.

For everyone that had been saying "No way they'll cancel football," I hope they're starting to come around to thinking that it is at least a possibility now. The virus really doesn't give a shit how much money schools could end up losing.
