TB is going to be Trump's guest tonight at debate in Nashville.

Doc and Melrose...........that would be entertaining to say the least

If you spend 9 minutes at the company water cooler with a co-worker talking about the World Series at 10:30 am today then discuss how Wentz played with the same co-worker at 730 am for 8 minutes tomorrow morning and that co-worker gets symptoms on Friday and test positive you have to quarantine for 14 days due to the "cumulative" upgrade in the CDC guidelines. For anyone to call this new guideline "science based" is a total dolt.

Over half from what I heard.....and that was a few weeks ago.

Just shut up and wear a mask. To your last point least she has an understanding of the difference between consecutive vs. cumulative...…...

I'm not clinging to anything from the CDC...trust me on that. If there are different criteria that certain entities are using beyond what the NDHD has set forth......good for them. That "cumulative" criteria hasn't applied to any of the club or HS teams my kids play on since this late spring. But for the sake of not continuing this discussion.......you are right.

No it didn't. Yes.......both club and HS.

We will agree to disagree because the NDHD hasn't.

The screen shot I have from the CDC website on 9/10 has no reference to what you claim or what was reported in that article and it never has until they changed their guidelines a couple hours ago. Not looking for a pissing match. Bottom line is they changed their guidelines to make it easier to try to quarantine individuals.

Expound. Consecutive and cumulative aren't the same thing. In the initial guidelines there was nothing about a 24 hour period.

CDC now shifts its close contact guidelines from "within 6' for 15 consecutive minutes" to "within 6' for a cumulative 15 minutes over 24 hours". F#@#ing lunacy. Even though ND took heat for divetring from the original CDC guidelines and instituting the close contact mask on/case positive mask on non quarantine scenerio they got it right. These new ridiculous CDC guidelines are nothing more than an attempt to close schools and shutter businesses/workplaces.......in every state but ND. This is the same agency that had its director come out and say a mask protects him more than a vaccine will but a couple weeks an agency spokesperson refuted that and said a mask protects others from the wearer.

So if I choose option #1 (which I will) to go along for the ride to see what happens and if any games are played or if I can actually go what is really going to be different from today than in 8, 12 or 16 weeks?

People who have season tickets just want some verification that there will be games, any games, that they can attend to make option #1 a valid option. That isn't in there. Lots of people like Nodak78 are going to take option 5.....saying screw this athletic year.

A list of options were sent via email to UND season ticketholders. Basically kicking the can down the street as nothing seems to be set as far as games or capacity for any sport. So you can continue to hold out hope for watching some UND athletics live and wait and see what happens or you have 5 options of refunds available to you.

Why should parents take a kid in to get tested for every mild symptom? This mentality that "it has to be Covid" until proven otherwise is ridiculous. Maybe parents can teach their own kids to test their own sewage for Covid.....with a mask on of course.

On the mask mandate......UND mandates a mask for anyone inside its Wellness Center starting tomorrow.

ND positives today are half of what yesterday's record number was. Must be due to the mask mandates issued in Fargo and Minot on Monday night?

Yesterday on a day that ND set a record for "positive" cases of over 1000 around 0.5% of those cases were elementary aged children.

Yet the Sheyenne HS FB team quarantined 70+ kids over one positive. Bases on the CDC close contact guidelines that is basically physically impossible especially with the measures that are being taken in practices and games.

....and to be fair to the quality teachers out there, which are becoming fewer and fewer, lots of parents are a big part of the problem as well.

Mostly because they aren't being dictated by left leaning bedwetters. Plus most private school parents take their child's education seriously and see it as an investment in their kid's future. Public education right now is a joke....and that's being generous.

0.003% positivity rate of students and staff/employees......64% of ND deaths 80 years of age and older. Makes perfect sense. Visited with a 7th grade teacher in Fargo last night. District told teachers they can't fail any student even if the student does zero school work. Started last spring....now this year as well. Dumb and dumber. Also on LTC/nursing homes.......buddy of mine on national vaccine task force. Vaccine trials have shown marginal efficacy on the elderly. If this holds true guess the only solution is more lockdowns.....right??

Would you consider this a "gallant" effort?

Cause lockdowns work. Just ask all the Americans that visited food pantries over that past few month for the first time.
