re: Makes me sick thinking of NC State kids

The rules were set.. agreed upon and that's what was used.

Were they just for show? Maybe but that's what you have to do in the corporate world or you get sued.

Small mom and pops can roll the dice if they want but big companies deep of pockets and have to protect themselves to liability. NCAA is just playing the game that lawyers make the play.

This ain't political for them, it's about running a business and the NCAA is definitely a business.

We can argue they should not be testing all your want. I think it's time to stop as well but I don't know of any large company not still taking precautions as long the threat of lawsuits hangs in the balance.

Major business is tied to politics. Always has been. As I said, the NCAA is simply a pawn in this political clusterfrick. There's no question that the PTB used the NCAA (as it uses all major business) in this particular case to coerce the teams into vaccination. That's what this was all about. It wasn't about the health and safety of the players. Again, had it been, then they would have shut down the event and made sure all the exposed tested negative before restarting. That would have, in all likelihood, allowed NC State back in the tournament.

That's just it. The NCAA opened itself up to possible lawsuits by NOT stopping the tournament and making sure nobody was affected by the NCSU outbreak. Instead it continued on with it as if nothing happened.

I would imagine it did so with the blessing and backing of the PTB and that's why it continued on with no regard to the possibility of the outbreak spreading to other teams.

Bottom line, this whole Covid bullshite is all about power and control, and keeping the money machine going purrrrrr. The NCAA is simply going along like good little goose-steppers.

33,620,000 covid-19 cases and 603,966 deaths is a 1.7% for the U.S.

I realize that...I'm projecting the mortality rate on the entire population to explain why the precautions are taken. People seem not to understand that...if the mortality rate is 1.7% then you can make an educated guess as to what would happen if no measures were taken to slow the spread of virus. Most understand that if somehow everyone was infected at once the mortality rate would sky rocket, but it is impossible for it to infect everyone at once. The stressed hospital systems in different surge areas are signs of the potential looming issues if no safety measures are observed. The vaccine, natural transmission, etc...all lower the probability of that stress on hospitals.

I suspect if the virus is in check the mortality rate will be lower. The last few weeks are the first time its been in check nation wide in many months.

that is not how this works.

the death rate is arguably lower than what I calculated in that post. Because it is likely you did not account for every case if covid-19.

I believe I said that as well. I was only explaining why you can't choose an ostrich strategy. It is serious enough precautions had to be taken. You can argue to many or too little but doing nothing was never an option.

Going back to the thread topic the NC State team choices are a microcosm of what has happened globally.

Jesus man I hope you survive this traumatic twist of fate.

People want to be such individualists these days with no civic responsibility. ok that is fine but there are consequences. those young guys learned a life lesson the hard way.

This is funny since everyone of the vaccine manufacturers is completely free from liability.
