Going to be special when the first recruit gets coronavirus and everyone negative recruits the hell out of us
The chances of a healthy 17 year old getting coronavirus are pretty damn low.
The chances of a healthy 17 year old experiencing severe symptoms are low but I think the chances of him contracting the virus is the same as anybody's. My concern isn't necessarily about him getting seriously ill, it's more because the optics of the headline "UW recruit contracts coronavirus on campus visit" could seriously fuck us over.
But it's not the same as anybody else's. As a healthy 17 year old he's not going to spend much time around unhealthy 70 year olds. By nature of the population he's a part of he's less likely to be exposed to someone who has the virus and if he is exposed that individual is less likely to do a lot of coughing and sneezing that make it more likely that they spread the virus.
Coming to UW on a recruiting trip is a lot different for your chances of infection than visiting grandma in Kirkland.
What is this based on? I don't think healthy young people are any less likely to contract the virus and become infectious than unhealthy old people. Probably the scariest vector was the kid in Everett who was tested and returned to school before his test came back positive.
This sounds scary and obviously we don't want to spread the virus to more carriers when it can be avoided but kids are largely unaffected. The teachers would be the real concern here, as well as anyone with compromised immune systems.
There's plenty to worry about with Coronavirus. Schools are not especially high on the list.
If only these worldwide school closures were aware; likely victims of fake news.
The schools aren't closing to protect the kids. They're closing to
1. Maintain optics for those who want them to #DoSomething. Reelections are a bitch.
2. Protect teachers, administrators and other staff.
3. Protect the families of those kids who could potentially get infected.
The kids are going to be fine. In fact closing the schools cuts off a lot of kids from lunches and other services. It's almost assuredly worse for the kids to not have school right now.
This isn't being done to protect children. Not by anyone who cares about the science anyway.

Ahead of the curve
The Curve was March's goal. Please try to keep up.
I guess my twitter app is broken, because I looked on the website and the newest follows are completely different than what it said for me. But he's going to Texas.

Twitter mobile shows mutual follows first, so you probably saw Lake and other UW football accounts at the top. The desktop version of twitter still shows most recent follows

Twitter follows of who???
Not going to lie! When I saw B4L I thought it was for Built for Life. But its brothers for life
