And isn’t much more deadly until 60-65 I’m guessing. It’s two factors IMO:

Conference Play Only...a sham, and also a death blow

fewer people are dying each day from all causes including COVID than they were

Nice try. Recent weeks take about 6 weeks to update and be comparable to older..

I guess that gives you a chance to ride the fear porn for at least

Pretorian

It's not fear porn. It's facts.

Dwight89

7/9/20 8:06am

Which facts? The death rate, case count? Some facts are more helpful than others

Hoo boy. Fewer people die in the summer than in the winter.

Uh, you do know how to look at statistics right?

In all fairness, people may be saying "safer" but the internal conversations

It actually makes a lot of sense, from the power conference POV.

Everyman

7/8/20 12:23pm

Sure it makes sense. I mean, no social distancing in your own household, right?

Show me the evidence that COVID is less harmful than the flu?

I can't show you, but isnt it true that more young people die from the flu than

History will not be kind to this post

The CDC estimated it to be less than that a few days ago

The devil is in the details with that tweet...

Quite watching the fear porn

puntersarepeople

7/9/20 8:24am

Right now we are at 134K deaths. Current projections are

Dwight89

7/9/20 8:36am

At 164K you’ve hardly changed anything

puntersarepeople

7/9/20 8:44am

That is assuming that the low end projections are true...

Dwight89

7/9/20 8:48am

That is basically one half of one percent of the overall US population, the majority of which was over 70 &already ill.

Turnpike Lane

Do you know anyone that's died of Covid? I do. While both were over 70

Dwight89

7/9/20 9:39am

With all due respect, go check yourself. Throwing around unChristlike here is ridiculous.

Turnpike Lane

You can deflect all you want, but it is what is, my man.

Dwight89

7/9/20 2:40pm

OK i just pulled the CDC numbers

Dwight89

7/9/20 8:46am

Wait....so you claim to know the denominator?

Vernon Dozier

7/9/20 2:27pm

If you look at my data the death rate is based off population...

This where you are wrong....

Help me understand your first paragraph?

Dwight89

I may have not worded it well...

Vernon Dozier

7/14/20 10:56am

A couple of thoughts on that...

Dwight89

We will agree to disagree....

Vernon Dozier

I agree, I guess it could help with flexibility? Reduce travel $?

I don't want conference only and I don't think it would do much if at all.

AlphaCoug

7/8/20 2:02pm

Why would that hurt BYU? They have a contract with ESPN and if any games are

Lance71

7/8/20 2:13pm

Maybe because BYU is not in a conference perhaps?

If it’s conference only-schedule, the five games

It also destroys any momentum we may have had with a good season. Don’t get to

I think it’s just a simple way to shorten the schedule

Stanford just announce they are cutting 11 Varsity sports, they are never coming

BYU Grounds

7/8/20 6:09pm

They will still have club teams for those sports.

Jay Kay

This hurts P5 confs more. No games, no TV revenue for them. They lose the most.

One of the early article I read on this quoted one of the P5 commissioners

"Covid19 is becoming less severe than the common flu." You had to throw in that? Educate yourself!

Conference only play allows the conference to enforce its rules. The conference

It's giving P5 conferences an easy out to do what they've always wanted to do.
