The 49ers Faithful is anxiously awaiting the day that they can safely pack Levi's Stadium and watch their defending NFC Champions live after the COVID-19 pandemic. That day may not be as soon as many thought according to Santa Clara County executive officer Dr. Jeff Smith.
"Sorry to say, I don't expect that we'll have any sports games until at least Thanksgiving and we'll be lucky to have them by Thanksgiving," Dr. Smith said. These predictions came Tuesday during the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors meeting as Dr. Smith discussed the fact that even if shelter-in-place orders are lifted and life can seemingly go back to normal, it may not immediately get there.
"With this particular pandemic, when the orders are weakened, it's pretty much guaranteed that there will be new infections," Dr. Smith said. "There will definitely be individuals that get sick and because there are individuals who get sick, there will be individuals who die after the order is released, unless we come up with a foolproof immunization, which is highly unlikely."
The rise of cases of the novel coronavirus has led to the sports teams in Santa Clara County and nationally to put a hold to their active seasons. But a stop to sports until Thanksgiving would impact the 49ers who told ABC7 News in a statement today that:
"While there is much debate regarding the appropriate time for the return of sports, our intent is to exercise great patience and make the most informed decisions regarding the health and wellness of all San Francisco 49ers and Levi's Stadium employees, patrons, and the community at large. Our organization continues to collaborate with federal, state, and local health organizations, as well as our League office, to monitor the evolving developments regarding COVID-19."

It is incumbent upon the people to say no. Our leaders are not supposed to be our betters, they are supposed to be our servants.
Whatever.
We gotta stop getting worked up like these people matter.
Trump learned his lessons about stats and charts.
We’ll be rocking by May.
Yeah, that’s a face of someone who played sports in school.
I hope you re right, but these people are in power and can shut us all down til they say “OK, it’s safe for you to come out now.” There will be no sports or anything else until they give permission. Sure you can go out and do your thing, but you are one of a few doing so.
At least here on the San Francisco Peninsula, the Peninsula Open Space Trust has not shut down their preserves. You can still go hike on thousands of acres of wilderness hereabouts.
The City of Palo Alto has taken a draconian position and posted “No Parking” barricades and signs all up and down Page Mill Road leading into the hills and forests. But once you leave the Palo Alto City Limits, things are more relaxed up n the Santa Cruz Mountains.
LOL. Yeah that bearded, bespectacled mug tells you all you need to know, doesn’t it?
Looks more and more like we are going to be in a red state/blue state stand off soon. The rats will do everything they can to keep the economy kneecapped and it does not have a damn thing to do with public safety. That is just the means to the end. It’s going to be “unlike the irresponsible GOP who choose money over lives we are protecting the health and safety of our citizens”. Every new case and death in an opened area will be big big above the fold news.
Even bluest North Idaho is locked down and getting more locked. Yesterday they closed the beaches on Lake Coeur d’Alene in Coeur d’Alene. Just as the nice spring weather hits, too.
A lot of the problem is that Washington State 30 miles west is REALLY locked down and they are really streaming into Idaho to use our parks! They aren’t paying the park fees and are congregating in big groups, too.
Shame to see the 49ers will skip the season. The rest of us are going back to normal soon.
If that's the case, then why the hell would I ever listen to them?
They aren’t paying the park fees and are congregating in big groups, too.”
Rats will be rats. Not sure if it’s legal but maybe ban state to state travel? Seems to me if my idiot Governor can make it illegal to go out and buy a can of paint then states can ban out of state “visitors”.
Ultimately it won't be the leaders who decide.
How many people do you think will show up at a football stadium in the Bay Area if the virus is still circulating and we don't have a vaccine?
Well, then, ....cancel the election.
That was VERY optimistic of me.
i took my middle aged man’s nap and was surprised I said that.
I fear you are more correct.
