I personally feel this Chinese virus is a joke. Statistically it's basically a zero in terms of affecting the young.
The general survival rate is like what 97 percent? Basically is 100% unless you're a hundred years old.
With the testing becoming easier, I think we definitely messed up and chose poorly.
ODU has aspirations of the AAC as the next step. You won't get there by being the only team in C-USA to wimp out of this season.
Could cases go crazy and teams stop? Yea sure. If that happens then I'd say the administration got lucky. But right now we are looking silly.

Yes I'm sure. In fact, those stats backup my 97% survival rate thought.

Racist much? I hope you are kidding. By the way, the strain of the virus that is in the US came from Western Europe, not China.

Calling a disease/virus by it's origin is actually a common thing. Has nothing to do with race. I shouldn't even have to justify it. Perhaps you would have preferred I said Wuhan China to be more specific?
I'm pretty sure all of this started from that area. If it stopped elsewhere and reincarnated itself then imo the birth place of it is still the name and the blame.

If you said COVID-19 or coronavirus, that's the specificity understood by pretty much the entire human population. It's even shorter to write.

No thanks. Not really shorter. Besides, everyone knows what it means. In fact, it was predominantly called the Chinese or Wuhan virus before being switched over to Corona and COVID. But to each their own.

Dead is dead. And I have been to more than one Zoom funeral. Forecast is for that 186k to rise to 410k by year end. Again dead is dead.

And it's a whole different conversation from should you play.

It sucks and it’s sad. But there are plenty of things that kill people. The common flu is bad too. This virus has been overblown and governments have over-reacted. The fact remains that 97 percent survive. The US has tanked a great economy and ruined the lives of many for something that the mass majority will easily overcome. That’s just the truth. To add onto that, I’m willing to bet that many old people have died “with” the virus and not “because” of it. Butttt I’ll stick to facts which show that this thing is a statistical joke.

The survival rate is MUCH higher than 97%. Its more like 99.96% per CDC. The number you are looking at does not account for cases in which a person was never tested but had the virus.

Not sure why you’re bringing politics into this. We were actually talking statistics. But I’ll play along- liberals always pick emotion over facts.

Uh, it's shorter. Really. All it takes is the kindergarten skill of counting to verify. But since you'll dispute counts, it's clear you'll dispute anything, factual or otherwise.

Ain't nobody got time for that. (I'm out).

Ery'body on earth no what dem dere shorter werds meen.

Kung Flu is similar in length. Maybe you like that better? But word length is a dumb argument. I’ll stick to the facts that the Kung Flu, Chinese Wuhan, COVID virus, is a statistical joke. But you’re already gone and won’t see this. Dang I just waisted these 30 seconds. Unless God forbid you came back to time my typing and it was more or less.

Moving this part of the thread to OT. One covid thread on our main board is more than enough.
