    The mother of a child too young for vaccination, who caught Covid from unvaccinated family member, faced a choice when he developed Covid gangrene. Let him die, or have both legs amputated for a 25% chance of survival. She chose to let him die. No good option.
    In Colorado, a school board election that normally flies under the radar has become a flash point. Right wing groups have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars to a slate of four Trump cultists running to replace current members on a platform of no masks/vaccines and not teaching anything that makes white people uncomfortable. Vote for us. We want children ignorant and sick.

    She's pretty hot.
    Also, I hope she recovers.

    I've been helping coach a small high school football team, ~25 freshman-seniors, and as we go into our first week of practice for the playoffs it hit me that we have gone the whole regular season without a single case of covid. There have been a couple tests done, but that was it. We had one game cancelled due to health and safety protocols for the other team, and the volleyball team had 2 become infected, but nothing for our team. Just thought that was surprising and wanted to share.

    Football is outside. Very low risk of spreading covid there. Especially if many of the players are vaccinated.

    Sure, very low risk if that is the only thing happening. Add in film watching, locker rooms, buses, ect. It is surprising we didn't have any cases.

    Two of the coaches are unvaccinated :NOTMARIS:

    Baseball is an outdoor sport too, but if i recall, they were decimated to start the season.

    Yeah, we have some unvaccinated coaches as well. But most of the players are vaccinated and we haven't had a case since most have been.

    The last case we had on any of my 3 daughters teams was an unvaccinated player in July. One unvaccinated player we train with got it in August (she was only 11, so not eligible).

    If most of the players are vaccinated you're very unlikely to have a problem. As much as 25x less likely...

    It's a catholic school, so there may be many "religious exemptions".

    Excellent point. In that case it might well be impressive...

    If anything shut down because of one COVID case in the USA there would be mass protesting.
