COVID isn’t “political hogwash.”
The chances of a youth lacrosse player dying from COVID are extremely low. But if they catch it, the virus could still have an adverse impact on their health (lung and heart damage, etc). And they can still spread it to people with higher risk factors (grandparents, siblings with pre-existing conditions, etc.).
Please be smart, kind, and look out for yourself and others. Wear a mask. Use commonsense.
The virus doesn’t have a brain. We do. The only thing stopping us from defeating COVID is people who think it’s a ‘hoax.’
If every player, coach, and fan takes HOCO’s COVID protocols seriously then the kids can safely play lacrosse. If you don’t, they’ll shut it down and the season will be over quickly.
Seeing what our schools in Maryland and Howard county are doing is most certainly "political hogwash". People as a whole are taking those precautions you mention. I guess the Maryland Teachers Union knows better than the American Academy of Pediatrics. So much for "I believe in science".
