The revenue sports? Let them try. Let the other sports try, too. Get kids playing tennis, swimming, gymnastics, golf, track and field, even water polo again. Get them back in school, appropriately, too. Kids in front of screens all day is not a good thing. More focus needs to be there, indeed.

As for the political commentary, Israel is completely locked down this point and Europe appears to be headed that way, too. Guess they should have paid more attention to getting the virus under control, too.

I agree, we should do what we can to reopen schools, and get kids playing sports again (especially low-risk sports), revenue or not.  That will require effort, effort that we don't seem to have had the will to do, and it probably require giving up some other things (like bars, restaurants and house parties) to keep the effective reproductive number (REff) below 1.

Yes, cases in Europe are high and rising, but still lower on a per capita level than the US currently (and even more so than the US at the peak of the second spike).  Plus, cases in the US are starting to creep back up, after declining by about 50% from their July peak.  We may be headed to a third wave.
