When I said 'Indiana', I was referring to the state, not the school.

Plans for full time e-learning at home, or even those with one or two days a week, just do not work unless society is in a total lockdown. Dual income families, or single-parent families simply have no way to keep young children at home unless at least one parent is working from home as well. It worked 'okay' for April & May because everything but essential services was shut down. That's not going to be the case this fall. Indiana, for example, will be 100% open unless cases spike again. Parents have to work, and having children physically at school all day allows that tp happen. Basically, if we don't open up schools, we can't open anything else either.

Greater Clark School district, which is down here in Southern Indiana adjacent to the one my kids attend released their plans earlier this week. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/greater-clark-county-schools-revises-first-semester-calendar-releases-return-plans/ar-BB15Tql5 Some highlights 3 learning options offered to students Traditional classroom will be one of the options available, with specified dates set aside for e-learning School will start as scheduled on July 29th No Fall Break. 2 weeks originally scheduled for fall break will be e-learning instead. E-learning will also take place the week of and the week after Thanksgiving Extended winter break will begin on December 5th. Spring semester schedule will be determined at a later date. Anyone entering a school facility will be screened for temperature Masks will be recommended, but not required Plan is dependent on the State of Indiana to go to Phase 5 of its re-opening plan as scheduled on July 4th

National TV is unaware the Pacers will be playing when the season resumes. https://www.nba.com/article/2020/06/26/nba-comeback-schedule-2019-20-seeding-games

In one of those decisions that make you go WTF? The State of Kentucky is allowing the Louisville FC (soccer) stadium to open at 50% capacity on July 11th. The stadium seats approximately 15.300 people, so you are looking at about 7,600 fans. Meanwhile, on July 12th, NASCAR comes to Kentucky Speedway. The grandstands there hold about 86,000 people. The State is allowing, get this, ZERO attendance at the race. So, the state is effectively saying it's okay to cram 7,600 people into a space designed for 15,300, but, one day later, it's NOT okay for 1 person to be in a space designed to hold 86,000. Kentucky math at it's finest.

Florida reported over 8,900 new cases today. Anyone else beginning to think the NBA should have chosen to complete it's season somewhere other than Orlando.

Well, since it is the end of June, and the story was written today, that headline is very misleading. It says 'could be', which I would naturally interpret to be based on today's numbers. If the intent was to only reflect what was going on in March, then the headline should have said 'Could have been 80 times higher in March'. I won't get into it here, but I was just telling my cat how this was another example of the incompetent reporting or intentional misrepresentation by the media.

With 2,500,000 'confirmed' cases, that would put infections in the U.S. at about 200,000,000. The U'S. population is about 331,000,000.

89% wear masks? Not in Southern Indiana. I feel safe in saying it's below 50% here. I think people lied to the pollsters. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/89-of-americans-wear-masks-in-public-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-persists-poll/ar-BB15YDVk?ocid=msedgntp

Heard about 8 million times by someone that has been married 9 times.

Would not be surprised at all to see the date get pushed back again if things continue trending like they are in some parts of the country. . The NCAA has to factor in the situations for all member schools. While it is reasonable to think there is little risk for Archie, Painter, Mack, etc. to recruit locally, it would likely be irresponsible for coaches in Texas, Florida, Arizona and California to be knocking on doors.

New Jersey adding nearly 1,900 deaths to its total. Probable deaths not previously counted by the state. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/new-jersey/articles/2020-06-25/33k-more-seek-jobless-benefits-in-nj-amid-covid-19-outbreak I've never found a good definition of 'probable' versus 'confirmed'. And, I'm not sure how they can make a reliable conclusion after all of this time. Because of that, I think the two numbers should be kept separate. have a column for confirmed, another for probable, and then a grand total if you want. But, don't just lump them all in the same bucket without any further breakdown.

We need help on the frontline, not at gourd.

Has Miller even been offered yet?

I hate to ask. But, Eastern, Central, or other time zone?

So, does mid-July mean the 15th or the 16th?

Is that a Northern Indiana frost or a Southern Indiana frost? What if the recruit is from South Florida?

Oops. If anyone on here is dead, check your mailbox. https://www.wave3.com/2020/06/25/audit-us-sent-b-virus-stimulus-payments-dead-people/

Define 'soon'. Does that mean imminent, or possibly next Tuesday, or before the end of July? Or, maybe, to your sources, 'soon' means by Thanksgiving. I have to know.

Have there been any studies about natural immunity? I've not heard of any, but it is strange the rest of you are negative with that much contact.

Played a pickup game with my kids just the other day. Don't think I cracked the rankings though.

Thanks. That's kind of what I thought, but then I see things like this on the Indiana Department of Health website. This is what was reported as new cases yesterday. What does not make sense is the 'between 4/21 and 6/22' reference. Has the 4/21 case been sitting in a lab for 2 months waiting to get processed? Did some Purdue student interning with some county's health department originally misfile the test results with those for livestock pregnancies? I'm now curious as to how many of those 331 cases are actually tests that happened in the last week. New Positive Cases 331 between 04/21/2020 and 06/22/2020

Question. If a non-symptomatic person is tested and show anti-bodies, are they reported as a new Covid case? I ask, because we are hearing about all these athletes that are testing positive, but how many of them are actually currently infected? For example, what if Michael Penix shows evidence of anti-bodies the first time he is tested at IU's football complex. Is he forced to quarantine? Is it possible that, although he was never previously tested, he actually caught the virus in April, recovered, and is no longer a threat to anyone else? Taking it a step further. When a state like Indiana reports 300 new cases, are all 300 of those people currently infected, or are people who may have been sick in March/April finally getting tested and getting reported as a Covid case? In other words, other than the presence of anti-bodies, how does a test determine you have Covid? And, if antibodies are the only way to tell, how does the test determine whether the anti-bodies are 'new' or 'old'.

@Hoosierhoopster Not a good outlook for Houston. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/the-worst-coronavirus-outbreak-will-hit-this-city-doctor-warns/ar-BB15RQEK?ocid=msedgntp

OK. So Area 51 in Nevada is showing a spike, while Roswell, New Mexico looks to be clear. So, we should trust the aliens, not our government.
