I think lack of vitamen D is a precursor to many diseases. Not sure if you can treat after with vitamen D as it takes three-six months to get levels up- but I'm no doctor. Vitamen C they say can help prevent colds, but cannot assist with curing them. It just help your resistancy. But then on the other hand Vitamen K is given and cures certain diseases, so maybe. However, the sun actually kills the virus. So I would think transmission would be more difficult if it cannot live on surfaces. Quote Link to comment
nic Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 If all the protests (lockdown, Floyd or otherwise) don’t change the downward trend, I see a full season with stadiums at least 50% full. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 ^^^ Phase 3 starts June 22. No word on when Phase 4 would start but as long as it's by the end of August.... Quote Link to comment

Atbone95 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Phase IV specifically says that 100% capacity is allowed if 6ft distance can be maintained. I highly doubt that means 90k is feasible come August, but it does mean that ~50k is probably pretty doable. Quote Link to comment

Thats about every third seat in every other row. 2 Quote Link to comment

I highly doubt that means 90k is feasible come August, but it does mean that ~50k is probably pretty doable. My math says if 6’ distancing has to be maintained then the approx. max capacity at Memorial would be maybe 12,000. First thing you have to completely eliminate every other row, cutting it to 50%. Then you would have to eliminate 3 of every 4 remaining seats, so 75% of the remaining. That gives you roughly 11,250 butts in seats. Then what, maybe another 1000 without seats. Personally I think they will create a way to get more (and maybe all) in there but if anyone is serious about 6’ spacing, it won’t be more than about 12k. If it comes to that, I think they should just allow the band and all the students that want in and that’s it. How can they prohibit the students and then equitably determine which 12k get in? Probably won’t be an issue though as people everywhere seem to be getting really good at ignoring what makes sense to limit transmission and dolla bills are driving decisions. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

It gets a little dicey... The basic approach is 6' between "family units". So you can be within 6 feet of the people that you live with or see regularly... It'll be weird, for sure. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
