The overwhelming evidence is that masks help limit the spread yet we have our own bunch of Einsteins that want to dispute that regardless how many times they're told and no matter what experts have to say about it. It's pure lunacy. I guess I shouldn't blame the idiots who spout this nonsense. In a way it isn't totally their own fault. Our society has made it virtually impossible to separate fact from fiction. There are way too many supposed news sources and way too many people in charge that thrive on bad information because it serves their ulterior motives. But I still won't cut anyone any slack that can't see the common sense in the good wearing a mask provides. It's so simple it hurts. If fewer of an infected persons respiratory droplets get out, anyone with a heartbeat should be able to figure out the benefit. Yet here we are, fools to the left and fools to the right. It's maddening. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right? Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Thinking about picking one of these up; think how much the university would make if they slapped an N or a Blackshirt logo on the front of a mask? 3 Quote Link to comment

Stats are posted daily. yes. 24 hrs. but these numbers are not published. u have to calculate then yourself after plenty of searches. they dont want the general public to know them. probably for political reasons - who knows. 3 Quote Link to comment

Other countries have effectively curtailed their outbreaks so population really has no effect. Germany has a population of 80 million and has roughly 600 cases per day. So, our population is 4.5 times theirs and we have 40,000 cases per day or 66 times theirs. Break it down by capita, per 1,000 people, per 100,000 people, total numbers however you want the US is among the worst when it comes to deaths and infections. Also, all the countries I compared us too are either trending lower in daily case count or are roughly the same while we are increasing exponentially. Are they testing at the same rate we are? Positive tests if we are testing at a much higher rate doesn’t say much other than we are executing more tests. Does that mean we actually are doing worse at containing it? Or is it possible they are just testing less 2 2 Quote Link to comment

Exactly. Regarding Frost's comments, it does seem there has not been much of a plan on what to do once an outbreak hits a football team, which is discouraging. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Or is it possible they are just testing less They all were testing at a higher per capita rate at the beginning. Currently, we are slightly behind or even with most of them. Also, their positive rate is decreasing while ours is increasing. So, still we are doing worse. 1 Quote Link to comment

I actually think the US is reporting less accurately than we are. Many states have rolled back their reporting data recently and not increased it. Also, yes they did have spikes 3 weeks before us, but look at the trends we are going higher and higher and they are going lower if we were just 3 weeks behind we'd be trending down. 3 weeks from now we'll be at an even higher daily case count and they'll be way lower.
