Nick Saban tests positive and Christine Brennan at USA Today is as giddy as a kid on Christmas morning. That woman has a serious case of the red ass over sports being played.

We cannot allow anything that brings people enjoyment to happen.

Remember when we were evil people according to S&L because we couldn’t just stay indoors until May

the health dept just came to my house..presumably because 1 of the 4 tests my fiance took came back positive.  They had called her a few times but she didnt call them back.  She didnt answer the door.  it has been 12 days since that test anyway so im not sure why they are stressing it.

This sounds really bizarre they’re so persistent, especially given the timeline and that they probably have thousands of others to follow up with. Is she dodging them for a reason?

Hell no. And if you're in favor of healthy people playing sports if they desire, it means you're pro-death and filled with hate and stupidity. 


I cannot imagine how miserable a person Christine Brennan is.

People already know this. If I, or someone in my family is higher risk, I need to take precautions. That's been the case from the beginning. This isn't news.

Kinda like we had to bite the bullet and not get together for Easter, mother’s and Father’s Day, summer holidays. Bite the bullet and not go on vacations or have weddings and parties or go to sports games. Bite the bullet and homeschool our kids. Bite the bullet and not get together for Christmas or New Years, either.

We'll be biting the bullet through most of 2021 as well. Mental health be damned.

We have a very large thanksgiving gathering every year.  Attended by nearly all of my paternal grandparents descendants.  I have pictures of my grandparents holding my granddaughter at the gathering.  

My grandpa passed away in July of 2019 so last year was the first year without him.  I have attended this thanksgiving gathering every year I have been on this earth (47yrs).  When my grandma passes it will probably end and break into the smaller family units.

There will be high risk family members there namely grandma.  Any one could be her last.  There are family members she hardly sees outside of this gathering.  Reality is no one is guaranteed another day.  Fauci can shove his bullet.

If everyone gets tested in the days before thanksgiving I think you should be fine

I was informed by a person on this board that mental health is a "you" problem, so that juvenile missing out on common life suffering from anxiety and the grandma with dementia in the nursing home wondering where her family is can just suck it up

Exactly, no one is guaranteed anything. If your grandma decides to go, good for her. Someone in their 80s or 90s is at high risk for a lot of things.

Thanksgiving and Christmas get togethers with my wife's side of the family have been cancelled for this year. Her dad, in his 70's, made the decision. He also has 2 immunocompromised grandkids. Cramming close to 30 people in a house does not seem like a smart choice.

Understandable. Yet another example of people making the best decision for themselves and their family without having to be forced to by Dr Fauci or anyone else.

He's not forcing anyone to do anything. He's giving his educated medical opinion. Not sure why that deserves a "shove it."
