SJND hires....

- Start date
Yes a great role model for the girls and on paper a great hire! Does anyone know if she's coached before?
From the article:
“Gray-Lawson built quite a resume in five seasons as the head coach in St. Paul, Minnesota. She led her team two section championships and a trip to a state final while becoming the youngest coach in state history to reach 100 victories. Last year, she was named the metro area’s coach of the year.
As a player, Gray-Lawson was spectacular. She led Oakland Tech to two state titles and was a Parade and McDonald’s All-American in 2005. She went on to play in 143 games for Cal — the most in program history — and was named first-team all-conference in 2009 and 2010.”
SJND should be one of the most talented teams next year if everyone stays.
That if is a big offseason question to track.
In terms of coaching news, good to see a former NorCal standout coming back to the area.

I think highly of SJND's talent, but they lost three key contributors from last year's team -- Malia Mastora, Sophie Nilsson and Maila Lepolo. It's great to have Alexis Gray-Lawson back in town, but let's not burden her with too many expectations.
I don’t see it as an undue burden. If everyone comes back, I think that is a top 7-10 roster. More wanted to point out the roster isn’t barren.
Here's two things that could happen without a vaccine:
1) Right now, the most serious cases come after a week or so with the virus, and sometimes with the viral count lowered. For no apparent reason, some patients develop serious respiratory problems that, as far as we know, are not caused by the virus, but rather by the individual's immune system. If we can control the immune system's reaction, then the virus will not kill nearly as many people.
2) Right now, we have no treatments that really work on the symptoms. But we will get better treatments -- we may find a drug or two that works, and there may be better methods of care (patients prone rather than supine). If we mitigate the severity of the symptoms in the most serious cases, then we will put much less burden on the health care system.
I'm not saying either of these is likely, but they're both possible, and if both occur, then essentially Covid-19 becomes like the flu. And if that happens, the situation could change very rapidly.

So far all the medicines point to Rheumatoid Arthritis meds or the Lupus meds that all go back to your point of the bodies immune system response. Massive instant testing will help also by allowing those that don't have it or that have had it and cleared the virus to ease restrictions. Maybe indoor sports are played with no fans for a while and the revenue is made up by live stream revenue. That's where I see it going with no Vaccine or 60% herd immunity. Either way we need massive easy testing. Kids that are tested and don't have the virus can work together. Friends and families that don't have the virus can hang together. Our lack of testing ability per capita compared to other countries is surprisingly disappointing.
