My eldest daughter, who already lost her senior year and graduation is going to OSU this coming year. She is freaking out about not getting to move into campus and having a real freshman year. This whole thing is hard on a lot of people. Obviously the real people suffering and dying, but all the collateral damage including job losses and interrupted life moments. I think Oregon has done well in controlling the virus spread here, and I hope, and I am optimistic, I get to move my kid into the dorms this September. I already don't get to see her walk for graduation and I'd hate it if lost more. (sorry, I know that is selfish whining, obviously people out there are actually dying). |

Not being able to walk at graduation is terrible. After decades, I still remember mine. School decided to sit us boy-girl in alphabetical order. My next door was a girl who was also on the swiming team. We had been teammates and friends for four years. No other special relationship. We sat and held hands during the entire thing. When it was time to actually walk, I got to go before her. I take my first step after they call my name and she goes all jock and swats me firmly on my ass.

Sage, you get award for best postings on this board. They are always fun to read. Keep going with the umpire ones. And I have to ask about the Mrs? |

I read the article. It is interesting. It is something that I have heard thrown around. Basically, the Asian version of the disease mutated in Germany or Italy and then exploded on Western Europe and the Eastern United States. It was no more deadly but much more communicable than the original, accounting for the overwhelming of the hospitals in Western Europe. It also rendered the early tests worthless, because they were based upon testing for the Chinese original. The tests then had to be reconfigured, which accounted for the delay in getting testing to sufficient levels in the Western World. It also helps to account for the failure in the original WHO testing, which was based upon the Chinese original. It helps to account for the difference between the virus transmission levels in Asia, Australia, and the Western United States versus the virus transmission levels that you are seeing in Western Europe, Eastern North America, Latin America, and Africa. Of course, this is based upon a speculative article, which includes no experimental verification and has not been peer reviewed. It might be sailing over my head, but what I fail to understand is how that relates to the original post. |

It might be sailing over my head, but what I fail to understand is how that relates to the original post. The OP addressed opening things up again. I offered the article for consideration [no more because it has not been peer-reviewed and isn't likely to be in the foreseeable future]. It is by no means the last word as another non peer reviewed paper says it ain't so. The message is that opening up and normalizing will likely be very slow and deliberate and impact the sports world significantly. |

Technically, she cannot do that. (I know take it to a different thread). This violates are constitutional right to assemble. The constitution does not differentiate in any way what that assembly is for. Her order to prevent Oregonians not to assemble violates this code. www.justice.gov/crt/deprivation-rights-under-color-lawI suspect that if someone pushed back hard enough she would relent, or face her own legal consequences. This is only my opinion from recent research. I am sure there are those out there that have studied constitutional law who can weigh in more appropriately than me. I sure hope posting this does not get me banned.... |

June, July, August. Right? Not through the end of September, or through October. Not sure what you mean. She said no large gatherings through September which in my translation means til at least September 30th. There are (were) three home games scheduled in September. |
