What's on your mind?

Coach announced practice this weekend. About 10 girls, split evenly over 2 fields with all social distancing rules of course. Thoughts?

Looks like all the City & County Ball Fields are still closed , per their web sites. Would have to be a private field?

Team practice is NOT OK right now.
If you want to keep your skills and body on check: Stretch, run, calisthenic exercise (push ups, jump rope, etc), watch youtube WCWS videos, learn game theories, and I think parks are open to hit, throw, & get some grounders with someone from your own household, but not team practice. If not to get exposed to an asymptomatic COVID-19 carrier (after 2 months of steady positive tests & deaths people haven't learned that this is the real deal :roll: ), then do it so you don't get an unnecessary fine.
I get it. I want to get games going also, but not until things improve. I'm planning for best case scenarios personally, but now, mid-May, with 34,428 confirmed cases, 1,659 deaths, a mortality rate of 4.8% (1 in 20 people confirmed with COVID-19 will die), and a population affected percentage of 0.86% (1 in 116 people you'll see walking around in LA is confirmed to have COVID-19), is not the time.

I’ve seen the 4.8%. It generally recognized as being overstated since there were many people who were infected, but never got tested. I believe the consensus is anywhere from .4 to 1%( most “experts” are around .5%. Hospitalizations is another important number


As I have said, a small percent of a very big number is still a big number! Just look at your mortgage

The mortality rate is no where near 4.8%.

@ Spaz, not fear mongering, just putting out the numbers as of today. Numbers are just that, numbers, fact, truth. Not meant to induce an emotion, just transferring information on a black and white text box to whoever wants to know.
What you do w the information, and your emotion towards it, has no effect on the numbers as is. You can chose to be informed, alarmed or indifferent, to each their own I guess.

1,659 Deaths
05/13 Update
Cases through 8:00pm 05/12/2020
*including cases reported by Long Beach and Pasadena Health Departments
** includes deaths

1,659 deaths ÷ 34,428 cases = 0.0481875 x 100 = 4.81875% Mortality

An Anaheim based team has had whole team weekly practices for 2 weeks now. Sanitizer between stations, 6 players per group, masks outside, no masks indoors. Torn about this.

As of today May 20, 2020:

OC 4,500 cases (0.14% of OC Population, 1 in 706 people confirmed to have it), 88 deaths, Mortality 1.96% (1 in 51 people w/ CV died)
Anaheim 701 cases (0.2% of Anaheim Population, 1 in 502 people confirmed to have it), 9 deaths, Mortality 1.28% (1 in 78 people w/ CV died)
OC looking better than the neighbors to the north, but Anaheim specifically needs to be cautious. for a city w/ 11% of OC Population, it has 15% of OC COVID-19 cases.
