Yeah, it's well known that COVID generally doesn't hit the young all that hard when we know the flu can be pretty dangerous for young children.

I understand the statement, but what is your overall premise?

Should schools be closed this fall to in-person learning?  If everyone masks up on on school grounds, what's the problem?  Colleges could pose some issues due to on campus living, but what's the issue for K-12?

That kids are fuging super spreaders of basically any illness. They are little disease bags.

If you have kids teaching kids, kids running the schools, kids driving the school buses and kids raising themselves when they get home...there's no reason to shut down the schools.

The issue is not the kids, its all of the people they come in contact with.  And maybe school has changed since I was there, but a majority of my teachers could be considered higher risk.

Science still does not have a firm understanding on how much kids can spread Covid. The data is just not there since schools were shut down so fast back in March.


Since we don’t know, Governors and schools are taking a cautious approach. Low risk does not mean no risk.

If everyone went potty like they should, we could eliminate diapers. Little kids have a different set of ideas than ( most) adults.

True, but do we close down schools for the flu?  Does the flu not spread from kids to adults?  Asymptomatic folks are less likely to be a vector than symptomatic persons.  Again, college is a whole different ball of wax, but K-12 should be straight forward.

Ok.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
