Arbitrary is the word that comes to mind. Why 150 miles? Is the transmission rate significantly worse beyond 150.
I would like to hear the scientific support and/or factual support for the action. And I mean specifics. Not the general litany that is set forth in the Orders.
“The issue with sports, IMHO, is never the sport. It is, and has been, the logistics behind the sports.
To get a football team of 60-80 players to a venue requires a lot more than most casual fans understand.
From Farm 93:
“A team will usually have a truck, or two or more of equipment. The locker room, the coach box and other things usually are set up with a large group of workers from the team and the stadium. The players, coaches and team support staff are likely to stay at hotels, and eat at restaurants. All of that creates chances for spread. It is not just the game, it is all of the behind the scenes things that COVID loves.”
Agree. But I have seen no evidence that College or Pro sports in SCC has contributed to the spread. How many people are actively involved in Stanford sports right now - including practicing etc. How many in that group have tested positive. How does that compare to the “general population”. Age group specifically. Same question for 49ers.
And then - from those that did test positive, how many have they infected. One thing we know is contact tracing certainly occurs when anyone connected with the team does test positive.
I don’t think there is anything grounded in science or fact in this instance. If I’m wrong, show me the evidence. Otherwise, I think this is a gross overreach.
