And why does this bother you so much?
U2 are quite the pair. Upset about people wearing masks.
You can't stop stupidity - anyone who won't go outside, at least in areas with very few people, because there's a deadly virus, just hasn't paid any attention.
So what's the reason not to wear one? How does this impact you?
Great post. Also, bac said he saw a bunch of groups in pairs wearing masks, so unless he knows that those pairs have been with each other the whole time and are "safe" why wouldn't they wear masks? We've seen quite a few friends during this and since we're not 100% sure people not in our house are uninfected (and they can't trust us 100% either), we all take the precaution of wearing masks (or being well more than 6 feet away outdoors).
None. He's simply the crankiest person on this board.
I have been tested twice now... and as soon as I go out in public to buy stuff.. touch stuff.. I assume from that point on I might be exposed. When I don't have symptoms I feel fairly confident.. but you simply cannot be 100% sure.
Why get tested just to get tested? Weird logic. Please explain.
Sorry, but yeh you're wrong again. Above is my post directly replying to your "hypothesis" that R's weren't wearing masks in the south causing the spikes--note the part about the indoors A/C in the hot sunbelt states vs. N/E indoors in colder weather. Funny how you cherry-picked a post to another poster and took it out of context, ignoring the issue specifics in a reply directly to you.
Yeah, I said what sane people are thinking. Crazy people need to either chill out or stay locked in their homes. We followed all the rules and my kids still had to see this psycho act like a lunatic.
Well. the first time was because i had a strange cough.. no other symptoms. The second time was more than a month later... and I waited all day to make the appointment to give anyone with symptoms a chance to register first. Since there was a slot available.. I took it.
OR.. you need to chill when seeing these crazy people or stay locked in your home.
No, not about you, just about you complaining that 50% of people on the board haven't been tested. Why get tested unless there is a legit reason to?
I'm not, but you took the opportunity to express that you're bothered and then yelled about how bothered you are. I'm concerned for your mental health.
LOL, try reading the articles linked. Here's an excerpt: Manish Butte, PhD, an associate professor in the department of microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics at the University of California, Los Angeles, tells Health that within a public setting, like a restaurant, workplace, or gym, air conditioning might be potentially risky.
Well , there are different rules for people in power positions and there always will be. Look you have a sports board and the ONLY person of power is Richie the owner... For several months now we see 5/6 people who because of a claimed medical knowledge or perceived expertise dictate the conversations. That’s all well and good but when a difference of opinion arises people begin to challenge who is right and who is wrong . In the end someone always brings in politics. It’s a thread created in order to talk about the virus and specifically about new therapeutics, vaccines, spread , masks or no masks , data and it usually deteriorates into a diatribe about death, future deaths and why it’s this groups fault and not ours.It will never change ... it is too deeply Imbedded in personal philosophical differences of choice. Maybe after we beat this virus down we can get back to being a sports board that argues about what bowl game or what NCAA bracket we will be in . God I sure as shit hope so.
Yes you know more than all the doctors many of whom went to Yale about masks, and everything else related to Corona.
I was quite chill. Trying to keep 6 kids from laughing at the crazy people. And then me trying not to laugh when an eleven year old announces “sure wasn’t concerned about social distancing when that xl sundae came to the window”
I was not complaining. I was commenting on the poll results in relation as to why people on the street.. with CoVid or thoughts that they might be asymptomatic carriers might wear masks.
I might agree with you if you said it was 12 people all walking 6 feet away from anyone else. But you said groups of 2 which means that it was likely 2 friends walking together. Assuming those two friends weren’t podded/roommates, it is exactly the right thing for them to be wearing masks.
Oh.. I get that part.. And I do believe that many of the decisions about this pandemic are about the 2020 election... but that is not to be discussed here. and still I think its wrong to mock people wearing masks outside.
