With 770 new cases reported, today, I’m wondering if we’re...

More protests =more cases
Cut back testing to April levels, take two aspirin, and everyone will feel better in the morning.
What is the hospitalization numbers in SC and how are they trending? The number of positive cases is not irrelevant, but I think more and more folks are realizing that it's the number of hospitalizations that really matters.
Its not positives you need to watch, its new hospitalizations that are telling.
I hope the players will be able to understand the play calling from Hilinski with his mask on.
No football means Clemson’s not in the playoffs. I’m good with it
Cases going up, no average increase in deaths. On June 7th there was one death in the entire state. It's been close to a half dozen a day average for awhile. If no major spike in deaths, the virus may have mutated to weaker strain. The concern will once again be hospital beds available. It has dropped slightly since first of month, and a key thing to moniter.
Even New York didn't use their field hospitals or the hospital ship to any extent.
No football season means Carolina has its first undefeated football team.
Lots of fear mongering, promoted by the media and others. They have their reasons for not wanting things to open up and not get back to normal. I`m not worried about the virus. The flu kills a lot of people, some previously healthy, and nobody panics or shuts down or wears a mask. You don`t have to go out if you don`t have to - let people get back to their livelihoods and let people take the risk if they want to.
I just hope they can open the schools back up.
How the hell can you social distance at a school?
Doing the zoom homeschool thing was not much fun

Fans butts in seats at the FOOTBALL games is what pay the bills. They can turn it into an online college overnight for safety precaution. But when it comes to losing revenue you will see how fast that changes.
I don't really get it. There are multiple players on each team that are testing positive for the virus. I don't understand the logistics, but I hope football happens.
Our regonal tv reports deaths the day after. I've literally heard the coroner called out at night and it's reported the next day.
We had our largest single day increase in NC today. I told my wife the same thing you stated above. Hospitalizations and deaths are the key indicators.
I’d be more than happy to watch games on TV even if stadiums are empty. I understand many thousands of folks enjoy being there. If it comes down to empty stadiums, that seems like a reasonable compromise. Players, coaches and staff get to do what they love, schools and TV networks get much needed revenue, and us fans get the chance to be ecstatic and/or heartbroken every Saturday. Sounds like a win/win/win to me.
Yep. Wonder if there's an outbreak in that autonomous zone in Seattle
I would almost think there would have to be an outbreak there but most of if not all of the protesters are very young.
Yes, exactly my point. Watch for a spike in the death rate. So far no major spikes at all in late three weeks.
That's not necessarily the case nowadays. Most of colleges' football revenue comea from TV contracts. And if more people have to stay home this season, that's more people that will be watching in TV. Ergo, even more TV revenue. Close to a wash.
Please don’t make a claim like this without citing your source.
The most critical data to watch is the rate of infection. South Carolina’s infection rate is currently at 14.4%, the highest in the County. This high rate indicates our daily case numbers will continue to climb exponentially until mitigation efforts are taken. If the public does not adhere to wearing masks in public and social distancing to slow this thing down, there is little hope for having a football season.

I know a few people making a lot more money sitting at home drawing unemployment. They'll ride the gravy train as long as possible.
Some of the responses on this thread are exactly why the infection rate has gone up significantly in SC. I live in GA, and we were one of the first states to open up. But our infection rate is nowhere near where SC is right now because many are practicing social distancing and wearing masks. Not everyone is doing it, but many are being careful.
My buddy went to a SC Beach this past week, and he said it was like nothing has ever happened. Pure idiocy if you ask me...

So, it was OK for you and your buddy to be at the beach but y'all were appalled that others were too?
That's what I thought but the news said the % of infections per tests increased this week.
People in the stadium pays the bills. Spreads lots of revenue in the community. TV small percentage of total budget.All sports paid by football revenue.
