I’m not taking a position on it. I just reported what I heard Fauci himself testify before Congress.
And it's still true
I can and I do but I can't make the person that chooses to go a bar wear his mask in the grocery store.
It's hard to listen to SportsCenter these days...
Paul Finebaum may be one of my least favorite people ever.
Interesting comparison in growth of cases between Minnesota, Texas, and Florida. Notice how daily new cases in Minnesota never go above 750 while Florida and Texas go from around 500 to above 10,000 in about a month.
It does seem incredible that a virus is so deadly and contagious that kids can't go back to school or college, can't dare compete in sports. Families shouldn't take vacations.
Certainly can't worship at church or attend a loved ones wedding or funeral. Too contagious for that.
And you small restaurant and bar owners.....we realize it's difficult on you....but your sacrifice is fot the greater good. Not for your family and your employees..... but for everyone else.
Really only 3 safe things to do.
1. Stay indoors
2. Shop at HD, Lowes or Walmart.
3. Protest in the streets. .....or riot and destroy property.
Research has shown those 3 things don't spread the virus
Every expert on infectious disease pretty much agrees that the highest risk activities for catching COVID-19 involve prolonged contact with large groups of people indoors while wearing no PPE. If individuals wear PPE, limit prolonged contact + physical distancing, move outdoors, or a combination of these measures the risk of contracting COVID-19 decreases. No one has said HD, Lowes, or walmart has mystical powers to prevent transmission. I get lunch at a tiny mom and pop deli pretty frequently, and they follow guidelines for reducing transmission and still do good business. Several other mom and pop restaurants and grocery stores in the area have done the same. A lot of experts were worried about the protests causing a spike in cases, but it never came. It seems compliance with wearing PPE while being outdoors was enough to limit transmission in large crowds. I'm honestly surprised that turned out to be the case, but that's what the data say.
I think weather has a lot to do with the rise in cases across the south and southwest. People are indoors with the extreme heat (such as dining indoors without a mask in July/August) when it's really hot, as opposed to those states that have more bearable summers and can dine outdoors (MN in this case). Not many talk about that factor, since it really doesn't help either side's position.
Look at Colorado for example. They re-opened 3 days after GA and haven't seen a crazy spike like the southern/southwestern states.
No spike in Colorado?
"For medicinal purposes only" may take on a greater meaning! Somebody aught to look into that...
Puff, puff, can no longer pass
No, I think it fits with what we've been saying. Being indoors in a temperature controlled environment with large groups of people is the easiest way to transmit the virus.
Awesome......so playing sports outside and allowing fans in the stands shouldn't be a problem......
Because the protesters much of the time were nutt to butt......and many weren't wearing masks.....although it does seem the "protestors" in Portland are wearing masks.......mostly gas masks......but I assume those are better.
Still trying to figure out what "compliance" was being followed during the protests.....but I guess that depends on how people view things. And what is considered "peaceful" protesting.
Maybe talked about in here (sorry, I skip 10 pages at a time on here due to the clearly one sided-ness of most posters), but meant in the news it isn't regularly talked about it.
Whats worse, mostly peaceful protesters or mostly peaceful cops?
I've said on here before that the lack of transmission during the protests was a good sign for fans in the stands if they followed rules for limiting transmission which would be wear a mask and physically distance. Sports continuing depends on players and staff not getting sick. Most protesters wore masks and were peaceful.
