You mean like every Amazon employee must get tested every day? Or every USPS employee? Or every municipal sanitation worker? They’re all getting tested every day, right? 🤨 ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > But a football player on campus is probably getting tested every day – after all, these are essential workers in a billion dollar industry. Studying at home he’s just another college junior doing online classes by day and partying by night. > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > You mean like every Amazon employee must get tested every day? > > Or every USPS employee? Or every municipal sanitation worker? They’re all getting tested every day, right?- Getting tested does not offer protection from the virus. (Don’t want to go down that road again.) All testing does is tell you IF you have the virus RIGHT NOW. It doesn’t tell you how long you have had it and how long you’ve been spreading it. If you’re negative it doesn’t keep you from picking it up on the way home from the test. ---

Oh, I know that. Just pointing out some discrepancies in **jsc1953** ’s logic there: being an essential employee in a billion dollar _business_ does _not_ mean you get tested every day, let alone an employee in a billion dollar industry. ---

I do not know for a fact that big time college football plan(ned…it’s all but over) to do daily testing. But Amazon employees are completely disposable; if somebody calls in sick, someone else takes their place. If Trevor Lawrence gets sick, Clemson’s season is over. It’s in the university’s interest to have the tightest controls possible. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > How would a player, surrounded by 124 of his fellow players, 9 or 10 assistant coaches, a handful of graduate student coaches, another handful of strength coaches, plus medical personnel and administration, all and any of whom have contact with their families and whatever other socializing they do, be safer than someone who was at home and followed strict social distancing protocols? > > You’re talking about hundreds, if not thousands, of potential disease vectors every week, versus just a few dozen (from needing to get groceries). There’s just no way that being on campus is safer or more likely to not spread the coronavirus. There’s just no way. And yet the old guys who have no intention of putting themselves in harm’s way, are eager to see the young players (and their families) risk their lives and health. For example, former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz: > [@](#): > > …Holtz also compared college football players playing amid COVID-19 concerns to American soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy during World War II. > > “Let’s move on with our life. When they stormed Normandy, they knew there were going to be casualties and there would be risks.” … > **['Let's move on with our life:' Lou Holtz disputes decision to postpone...](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2020/08/11/lou-holtz-college-football-postponements-lets-go-play/3349037001/)** > > Said Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz: "When they stormed Normandy, they knew there were going to be casualties and there would be risks." You can see the logic! American troops were willing to give their lives for their nation in wartime; why can’t these wimpy football players do the same?!!??!? Why aren’t they willing to die so that Lou Holtz can make a buck as a network sports analyst??!?!???! Note that Lou Holtz expressed these patriotic sentiments while _working from home_. ---

trump’s been on a twitter spree in the past several hours that hits on a lot of his favorite themes: **PROJECTION!** trump tweets a video with the theme “Biden has a racism problem”. **RACISM!** Tweets a dog whistle about how the “suburban housewife” (quote marks from trump for some reason) will be voting for him because he ended the low income housing program. **BULLYING!** Insults Kamala Harris (of course) and Bill Maher, for some reason (guess he caught an episode of Maher’s show during executive time). **DENIAL!** “96% Approval Rating in the Republican Party. Thank you! Also, leading in most swing states!” **CONSPIRACY THEORY PROMOTION!** Congratulates QAnon loon Marjorie Taylor Greene on Congressional primary win in Georgia ---

**Thel** The only thing is it was funny and a skillfully delivered parody. If you could use a mirthful smile, spend the 5 minutes. No new facts-so you aren’t missing those. Just smirks and smiles. I’d never sue you, I like you too much ! ---
