Hilltop Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 While I don't agree with many on this thread, I do offer a genuine thank you to guys like Guy who make very intelligent arguments without demeaning anyone else. Some of us could take a lesson, including myself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

This does not include the short term deaths and other major issues from depression, domestic and other violence, suicides, untreated/undiagnosed cancers, etc. Wearing homemade masks may tend to slow the spread, whether its by a few % or 50%, the spread will not stop. Most ought to be able to agree with this. Dr Fauci said on about March 6 on 60 minutes - masks are not very beneficial but make some feel better. He changed tunes a couple times since I believe. Experts are all over on this issue. How many millions have already had the virus without any problems? Best guesses: between 20 and 100 million depending on which expert guess you want to believe. How many deaths truly caused by Covid 19? less than 120,000. Estimates vary. Can you get it more than once? There are a few reports but apparently not likely. Herd immunity? Experts disagree but the evidence suggests it is very possible. Vaccine coming by Oct 1? Very unlikely. By Dec 1? Ify at best. By Mar 1? Maybe. By July 1, 2021? Probably. May never have one ? Possible. All this being said, we can not wait 12 more months on a “maybe” or a “probably” if the cost of the wait is literally many trillions of dollars and tens of millions lost livelihoods and perhaps 100s of thousands of other avoidable non-covid 19 deaths. Just my opinion based on available data. but So, what's the tldr on this post? Wear a mask or don't wear a mask? I couldn't tell what your point was. 1 Quote Link to comment

Same point as before. Masks or not, it will not matter in the end. Virus will rage on until we all have it or vaccine is found. Probably better to get it sooner than later.

Somehow they've restarted sports (in empty stadiums) and it is not because they've reached herd immunity. I know American college sports are not the same as European/American pro sports, due to educational considerations, etc. It will be much harder to "bubble-wrap" college football players in the same way as EPL, La Liga, MLS, NBA, etc. are doing/planning to do. However, having people mask diligently for the next 2 months will at least give an opportunity to force a downward curve in positive cases. If we keep going at 50K or more positive cases per day over July/August/September, we will probably not have any college sports for the rest of 2020 and possibly even spring 2021. This is very likely at this point. Got a couple weeks to decide and there are enough places with new case #s (thats all the media talks about ) too many people are terrified of the virus to have sports. School is doubtful too. If we wait for an end of new cases, it may be a year until virtually everybody has had it. Quote Link to comment

The Ivys are the last to worry about being strapped for cash. Oh yeah, I know...but they don't have that much cash by blowing it. Harvard and Yale seem like the only ones that care at all about sports. Quote Link to comment

admo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 1 hour ago, knapplc said: Texas governor orders most residents to wear a face covering in public Yeah, major counties in DFW & Houston made it mandatory 2 weeks ago. So not a shocker for us. It's a good move. On record, I've been wearing mask everywhere since Mid March. Nothing to it, just common sense. Even if it's 2 minutes inside a QT for Sprite and Doritos. It's good seeing everyone having it on. 4 Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 My biggest issue wearing a mask is the fibers make my nose itch. Other than that they aren't much of an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I guess I'm lucky that I'm one of those naturally unbeautiful people who look better in a mask. Friends and family prefer my face covered. Don't hate me because I'm ugly. I'm just born this way. Quote Link to comment
