I can tolerate a lot of things; having young men play a sport that can result in broken bones, torn ligaments, concussions, life long neck, back and knee issues, a brain rotting CTE, and an occasional freak paralysis...
But this, THIS, is where I draw the line.
No young adult male competing in the height of their health should even have the opportunity to possibly expose themselves to such mild to asymptomatic flu like symptoms. There are ~26,000 university cases already and ~1 hospitalization reported. Is this the type of risk we are ok with letting college kids decide for themselves!!? The obvious answer is NO!
Cal U of Pennsylvania had cancelled football in July and gone online in early August.
Good point though, add encouraging 20 year olds to bulk up to a morbidly obese 355lbs to my list of things entirely tolerable though.
(They also retracted Covid as the cause of death several days ago, not that it is at all relevant to what I said.)
That all seems fair, good points, really interesting.
I was more hoping for your source for the 26,000:1 ratio, though. Is this dead university case the one hospitalization? Does it count as a hospitalization? I just want the facts, ma'am.

You can double check, each university report is cited in the thread. Obviously not an exhaustive academic study but 29 different universities all openly and independently publishing their data can tell you a lot. The #Chart lags behind the actual reported data, so there are significantly more reported cases if you go directly the the citation websites of each university now.
Obviously someone will die, its inevitable given the "N", but there is no doubt in my mind the risk assessments of what is acceptable are really skewed.
Thank you. If only someone could have predicted that a lineman with a BMI in the forties might have an adverse outcome with COVID. Lotta willful ignorance on this bored.

There's citation in the thread below the first twat. I was skeptical when I first saw it, without the citations. ATBS, I didn't verify them.
I looked through about the first 20 sets of citations, and none of the data sets mention hospitalization, and only a couple spokespeople mention that none of the students have been hospitalized at their school.
I don't know how he went about choosing those schools, and how he thinks any of their reporting is germane to the question of hospitalization. I reckon he's doing bad analysis, assuming that since it isn't reported it isn't there. But, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and making inductions with no basis as your sole referent is no proof at all.
Non-rigorous googling disproves his thesis of 0 hospitalizations, generously we can conclude this Ivy League professor is merely an idiot, less charitably that he's cynically misread data and cherry picked.

Why would you link to a hospitalization of a girl who tested positive off campus in March to invalidate a data set of 26,000 on campus positive students from approximately the last month?
Surely you didn’t think the thesis/take away from the data was that absolutely no college aged person has ever ended up in the hospital from covid ever?

Is the fantasy that somehow the virus effects college aged humans differently than it did a few months ago? Or is this just an exercise in confirming one's priors?
I stay out of the Rub'n'Tug intentionally, sorry to bring this up here... But what does Trump admitting on tape that he was intentionally misleading the public do to this mindset?

Why do you think, Mensa?
I love how he is making sure he isn't to blame and he's "fighting" for the kids. As Giswald would so eloquently say, "Not in the middle of the store".

Everyone's got a guess these days, so here's mine: Previously undiagnosed heart abnormality, aggravated by the 'Vid.

Edit: what kind of willful ignorance is this professor guilty of?

Sorry, that was sloppy on my part.
