Covid-19 Effect on College Basketball & Other Sports

[Taylor Swift]

To be effective against Omacron, you need the booster. Current percentage of Rhode Islanders with booster, 27%. Ugh

It's Omicron, at least spell it right

[Taylor Swift]

Over two years, 3000 people have died with/due/from Covid. Each year Cancer is the second leading cause of death in Rhode Island. Between 1995 and 2015, the number of cancer deaths, was 2,330 each year on average. Yeah, each year almost as many people die from cancer as have died from Covid in two years. So tell me your priorities and what you are scared of. You are more likely to die from cancer in this state than from Covid.

Not sure why but here goes…

1. Cancer isn’t a transmissible disease

2. Isn’t there an awful lot of effort and money poured into cancer prevention and treatment?

1. Cancer is not a transmissible disease but there are environmental factors that can contribute to it. Asbestos is a low-hanging fruit example of that. Essentially, anything around you can cause cancer, whether you know it or not.

2. With those who have cancer, there are radiation and chemotherapy as "treatments" but there's really no true prevention. From personal experience, a woman who has "treatable" breast cancer has to take medications for years, such as Letrozole, which can lessen the chance of cancer reoccurring but in theory, there is no actual cure. I will confidently tell you that if someone goes through radiation and chemotherapy treatment for cancer, they're never the same. The effort and money that these fun tutu and pink 5k's in actuality don't really go into the true treatment and cure of cancer. It's a lot of hooplah.

My comment has zero to do with your specific personal experience. I would hope that you'd be more conscientious and understanding of other people's stories. The privilege you try to profess is stagnant.

My guess is that two thirds of the crowd at the PC game either went maskless or wore it on their chin the entire time. I chose to wear mine, and my daughters did, too. I have to help with caregiving for my 87 and 89 year old parents and am trying to protect them as much as possible (a mask in crowds and more testing the past month).
No one is an expert in the best course of action these days, despite some people thinking they are. We’re all trying to navigate things as best we can and these are my personal choices at present. I want to continue to go to my parents’ house and I don’t want them worried each time I arrive.
Perhaps some of my behaviors would be different if I didn’t have this situation.

Did they ask for proof of vax upon entering as in the Ryan Center?

At the PC-URI game masks and proof of vax were not required and nobody had masks on - and it was very crowded being a sell out.

Was last night sold out?

I think it was a mistake for the government to not require masks and proof of vax from the beginning, once you don’t, then try to implement it’s going to be next to impossible. I’m surprised even 1/3 had them on,

Why aren’t players also wearing masks? I see most coaches wear them but even they are pretty loose with the wearing of them. They should be disciplined (players) and fined (coaches) if they don’t wear or they become chin straps.

When you say Trumps favorite kind of person is an American, if you mean white, male and Republican (except for the ones who don't bow at his feet like Cheney and Kinsinger), I might agree. I tend to think his only favorite person is his narcissistic self. But anyway, this forum used to be fun. It's not fun anymore. All I do is get pissed off when I come here. I try to ignore all of the misinformed posts, but I can't. Getting all worked up is bad for my health. It seems all I do is argue with people who are helping prolong this pandemic and defend one of the worst human beings on this planet. Let's hope we can have a great basketball team some time in the near future. That's why we all came here in the first place. Go Rhody! See ya.

Well ..if you didn't think you had all the answers where there are none (this includes trashing everyone else's thoughts), you might not get so worked up. That is a boatload of pressure to put on one's self.

Getting back to the initial point, I was not asked for proof of vaccination last night. I will add that I had my card photo ready on my phone for the URI-BU game, and there was no line when I arrived.
If the game wasn’t sold out, it was pretty close.
I follow science and don’t dismiss at hand every government directive, but I’m also practical. There’s the government directive or mandate and then there are the people out in the world that are supposed to enforce them. Many places don’t have the staff to enforce things like mask wearing and the people that refuse to wear a mask know it. It’s really not fair to any employee to be put in a position to enforce mask wearing. They don’t get paid enough to put up with grief and, in some cases, potentially assaulted. Plus, many places are short staffed. Any of these directives or mandates need to be enforced at the manager/owner level, but let’s face it, they don’t want to be doing this either. Bottom line: mask wearing can never be 100% enforced, especially in larger stores. Each person needs to make his or her own choices. Stay away from unmasked folks if you’re nervous, go at odd hours when the store is not as crowded, shop on line and do store pickup if you need to.

Dude, we get it, you don’t like wearing a mask. You don’t have to wear one in most places. No one will call you out at most places. I can’t tell if you’re preaching that no one should. If you are, just let them make their own decisions. If you aren’t, then I apologize.
If we played a drinking every time and took a shot each time we read that you didn’t like mask wearing, we’d all be hammered. Given the situation we’re in, maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Hey Mike Morten. U say that Trumps favorite Americans are not Asian Americans, Arab Americans etc. , —Based on your opinion? Your opinion , like most anti Trump people is based on the constant media frenzy and Democratic Trump Derangement comments and actions .

Ummm....that's not what I said.

Dude. It's clear you know ZIP about political parties and how people vote.

It's the Democrats who are actually the uneducated and misinformed voters. The liberal elite (ahem, Pelosi, Biden, Obama, McKee/Matos, Raimondo, Gorbea, Eloozer, Davey C, Sheldon) who prey on these people for votes claiming they're going to "help them". If people took a step back and looked at all of their track records and the decisions they've made in the past, absolutely no one would have ever voted for any of them.

Republicans are fiscally conservative and believe in less government. I'm broadly Libertarian. I have zero trust in big government nor do I think that the government has any right to implement any kind of medical decision on my body.

I also back our military and our first responders, which are essentially branded as un-American by the MSM.

So you're only "well-educated" if you have a college degree?

I have friends in the trades who are very smart, make six figures, and do not have a college degree.

Next time you have an electrical problem in your house and call up an electrician, I hope you're okay with him maybe not being "well-educated" with a four-year degree. You probably don't even know if you have 100A or 200A service coming into your house.

The problem with all of this bullshit political stuff?

ZERO tolerance. Both "sides" are guilty.

It's either my way or the highway.

Most people in this country don't identify as left or right, most have views on both sides of the aisle [like myself], but all you hear is oh blame everything on liberals...or far right wackjobs.....

You would think it's a big parade...left right left right left right....it's pathetic...and I'm sick of it. The media foments it ad nauseum, every day.

We are AMERICANS, pure and simple.

Back in the day, the media used to report the news objectively, that's their job.

Not any more. You're either for us or against us. You're either a fascist or communist.

And don't get me started about Congress.

This country is on it's way down the rabbit hole. About the only thing that's good about getting old, is that I won't be around to see this country implode.

I’ve always believed he will run again. He likes the limelight too much and once his sycophants praise him and tell him to run, he’ll be all in.
Plus, he’s had a bug up his ass regarding Obama since 2011. No way can he take Obama being a two term president and him only being a one term president.

I've become indifferent to all of this....

Just get thru it and move on.....a couple months from now we'll be on the other side of this.

Nothing else we can do anyway.

Yep...few months from now, on the other side, then a decent summer...late fall/winter, people start to get sick again, we go back to where we are now, rinse, repeat. The song that never ends. Just curious how long the disparity between how this is handled regionally continues.

208, let's hope the Army vaccine works to stop all variants, so that we won't have to deal with another Omicron next winter.

Or if we continue to get new variants, that they continue to get less serious.

Otherwise, you're right, the cycle will continue for who knows how long.

I think medical science will find a way. Sooner rather than later.

Here's a question: What will happen first?

The end of the pandemic, or URI makes the Dance again?

We got 5K fan games getting canceled in RI, and I just watched Purdue beat Tennesee in front of 50K. What a world. Awesome game by the way.

I don't understand the point of this comment. Our games weren't canceled due to anything with fans, they were canceled because players had Covid

I get that, but the share difference of caution in general is incredible. The odds that someone has Covid out of 50 thousand people has to be high.

Has nothing to do with odds. It's regional/geographic.
