How wrong am I? I simply couldn't recall a single time a game as cancelled because of whooping cough.
I goggled "history of football games cancelled due to whooping cough" and this is the only example I found. *(I only browsed through the first 5 pages of search results)

The point that I failed miserably to make is this should be a "W" for USD by forfeit, and not go down as a cancelled contest.

Oh, that wasn't you who dismissed the whooping cough as a "pediatric ailment" then?

Certainly, and the point of the post was the uniqueness of cancelling the game. My sarcastic tone was due to the similarities to the 2020 season abortion due to the knee-jerk, senseless over-reaction to the chinah flu.

Take recommended vaccinations for infectious diseases and stop creating preventable problems for the rest of society.

There is a recommendation for a booster every 10 years
"All adults should get either a Td or Tdap shot every 10 years"
https://www.cdc.gov/pertussis/vaccin...receive%20Tdap.

I wonder what % of adults are current? I know of nobody.

Back to the point, why not park the sick players and grind on?

"doctors from PSU ultimately decided to cancel the game"
same article...“It should be noted that no players on the Viking team are seriously ill at this time,” the university said in a Saturday press release.

Seems a lot like a forfeit to me?

Take the vaccines he said, stopping to catch his breath due to the complications of myocarditis.

HINI, I get ALL my shots on time, always. Flu next week, all COVIDS up to date so far, Tdap and all that stuff. Even a distemper shot so I won't be pissed off

Then you should play for Portland State, then they wouldn't have had to forfeit.
