its absolutely insane...ive seen several medical professionals go on tv this week and all in unison say how we should and we may be wearing masks every winter to stop flu season, what is wrong with these people. The Holloway comments were disturbing

Holloway has no idea what he’s talking about. Pretty sad.
He’s got to go. Masks mandates have already been lifted in 17 states and Holloway states masks for years to protect against the flu. How did he become the RU President?

I listened and that's "President-speak" in the face of huge uncertainty for hypothetical situations fairly far in the future (during a pandemic at least) that are impossibe to predict now. It's what I would expect to hear. Listen more closely though, especially right in the beginning when he says, "I'll be better able to answer these questions (about fans in stands) by June" and then went on to say what I would expect him to say, which was, "it's all about the vaccine rollout and vaccine takeup, frankly."
Take home message is if you want to see live sports, especially without having to wear a mask, then take your friggin' vaccine, like you should, since there's a less than 1 in 1MM risk of serious side effects (and zero risk of dying), vs. a 100 to 10,000 in 1MM risk of dying, depending on age group, from COVID if not vaccinated (and about a 400 to 40,000 in 1MM risk of having a debilitating infection that lands one in a hospital). Only by vaccinating as fast as possible will we get cases down to near zero by mid-summer, which to me would allow people in charge to allow 100% fans in stands (with proof of vaccination or a negative test), hopefully without masks. We'll see.
Boy nice to see that there are still a lot of dumb, ignorant, f&$# on here who keep pushing the hoax narrative. Bunch of assholes.
Saw a Wheeling Nailers ECHL game last Friday in a pretty crowded arena and still kickin so far. Was amazing being inside a venue again drinking beers and watching sports. People were great with mask wearing and were really into the game.
near zero...man didnt we predict that''
wait until they tell you we can get the flu down to near zero too...oh wait
wait until they tell you we can get the flu down to near zero too...oh wait
yep how about those under 18...how are they going to handle that one at games and movie theaters and events lol
It won't be a popular opinion, but I also hope that many venues and areas where people are clustered, flying on a plane, etc, require the vaccination card, or at least make
those having the vaccination go through less requirements and restrictions
this would help increase the percentage of the population that ultimately gets the shot (shots), and gets us faster to herd
immunity
as far as venues go, we may see this more, case by case, than a national ruling.....so it would also be for eateries, and the like
from the start I looked at the vaccine as an opportunity to regain normalcy, not an unwanted annoyance.,...I wanted to get the shots as soon as I could, both for the 95% chance of
not getting sick, and the possibility that it may open things up
for me and my family personally
people can still refuse to get the shot, this is their right....but, if an establishment does not want to admit them, they would also have the right to do so, or, at minimum, place greater restrictions
Well said. Everyone has a personal choice to make, but if you’re on the side of really opening up, get the damn vaccine.
Ha ha. You really need to ask that question. Where are all the “That’s my president” types when he made the “courageous” decision not to rename Rutgers.
So this time we’re not supposed to take a promienet persons words at face value and interpret more their hidden meaning. Funny how that works.
You seem to have perfected adding nothing of value to any thread. Congrats.
Well, the truth is he said nothing definitive at all and said RU would need to see where we are in June before issuing policies. His speculations about possible mask wearing for games and into next year were speculations, not proclamations of policy. There's a big difference.
So people like you have something to clutch your pearls over. Just be patient and let things play out.
Oh, and get vaccinated.
I think it is a popular opinion. It's just that those against it whine so much more loudly.
I agree 100 percent. You can't just complain and complain for months on end about wanting everything open and back to normal, then decide you're not going to take the one proactive step that could help get you there.
Maybe those requirements go away after we hit herd immunity and the thing recedes, but I hope they're widespread before that.
to trigger folks like you. I donate every time he does.
I'll let my own healthy immune system take care of myself thank you.
RU better have a policy and plan in effect soon. Just because the first game isn't until September everything has to be in place. Security hiring, food handler, stadium workers, etc.
Lifting mask mandates in the midst of a pandemic is just friggin' stupid. Do I need to repost my post on the science of masking again here? They're not perfect (and some are better than others), but they're far better than no masks when distancing cannot be achieved, especially indoors, where the risk is much greater.
lifting mandates isn’t stupid.
Not wearing a mask just because the mandate is lifted is stupid.
There is so much confusion with this issue the thought of a vaccine passport makes me think of 1934 Germany.
I don’t agree with the “everyone needs to be vaccinated” narrative being presented by he corporate media, the government and even this message board.
I found this article to be informative in helping me make my decision not to be vaccinated, (at this time).
I’m curious how the pro pharma pro vax contingent here perceive this article?
I will add Being this is the Rutgers message board and I am a lifelong fan and season ticket holder.
If a vaccine passport or even just the vaccine is required to attend football or basketball games. I’m out!

A More Honest Perspective of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Since the first cases of the new coronavirus strain outside of China, every aspect of the pandemic’s ever-changing amoebic narrative has been carefully controlled by the World Health Organization and major government health agencies. High officials within a syndicate of institutions, including...

We disagree completely. Lifting the mandate sends an official government signal that masks aren't needed, which is just stupid in the midst of a pandemic. We're nowhere near herd immunity yet (maybe 30-35% infected vs. 70-80% being HI) and don't have enough vaccinated yet (15-25% of the US have received a first dose so far) to make up for that, especially since there's overlap in those groups. IMO we should at least wait until we have ~50% vaccinated, which I hope will be by the end of April, and see cases going down way below current levels, which are still above this summer's peak and going back up again a bit.
Government shouldn’t be the ones to determine if masks are needed or not.
Scientists, doctors and researchers are the ones that people should listen to and make decisions from that. not the government, imo.
CT has just relaxed a few things but most if not all institutions are still saying, “that’s fine but if you’re coming into our place you’re wearing a mask.”
Which I bet continues across the the Country as we move along.
