Crowd tonight

Masks didn't stop the RAC from being very loud against Purdue so I call BS on that theory
Omicron wave should be over by mid/late January in NJ/NY and a little later elsewhere. We'll be at herd immunity at that point and COVID will very likely become a localized and occasionally regional (especially where vaxx rates are low, as the unvaccinated are still much more likely to get infected - even those previously infected, as omicron evades immunity from previous infections quite well). Unless we get very unlucky and get a new variant that is as infectious as omicron, but more deadly - which is extremely unlikely, but possible - it's far more likely that SARS-CoV-2 becomes our 5th endemic circulating coronavirus, joining the 4 others that cause most common colds - and like them it'll mutate every year or two into something that will still infect people, but not be severe.
Attendance listed as 8014. Well done RU fans.
Absolutely - was there for that game and it was probably the 2nd loudest crowd I've ever heard at the RAC, after PSU in 1989.
I would say maybe 10-15% of fans were actually obliging to the mask policy last month. Almost 0% of students were obliging.
Tonight I saw very few people not wearing their mask.
It definitely had an impact on crowd noise.
Many of the non-mask wearers from Purdue also seemed to be missing tonight
I forget if you posted this at some point/if I saw it elsewhere or imagined it, but (assuming COVID didn’t/doesn’t just go away due to vaccinations and herd immunity) we were basically looking for a very transmissible but mild strain to become “dominant,” right? Because it would make it tougher for new variants to survive by infecting people somehow?
I was there too and were not vigilantly wearing masks at the Purdue game. With the recent Covid surge everyone tonight was masked up for the entire game and it definitely muffled the crowd noise, can’t wait until we can dispense with the masks!
Everyone in our section was masked up for Purdue - can't speak for other sections...
Only about half were in my section for Purdue and the students had them around their ears, but were all barely wearing them. Take a look at the Purdue game tape and you’ll see. Big difference.
Actually they are pretty much strongly saying cloth masks are facial decorations..some of us knew the charade before
I didnt wear my mask in the stands til the Maine game. Mask wearing in stands was maybe 60% for Purdue..maybe 20% among students and about 5% after the court storming
Except that 90% of crowd didn’t keep masks on during Purdue game. Almost none on in student section.
Lol. Omicron delta we only need epsilon and we have the economic honor society. I still have the pocket protector!
Me
i also was in Eco Honor Society, but had no idea what the Greek letters are. Never got a pocket protector either. I feel cheated.
Most of the season ticket holders showed up along with a good representation in the student section.The crowd certainly helped Rutgers win the game.
I think is was a pen actually but pocket protector always seemed like a better fit culturally. Lol.
The Docs I talk to all say the virus can spread from vaccinated to others. They all also say cloth masks are pretty useless. I did both but let’s not blame this virus in those who are non compliant. The cause is a lab leak and nothing has stopped it. Lockdowns delayed it. It is smart to get vaccinated to save ourselves. Just like not smoking, diet and exercise. We as a country have a habit of trying to blame everyone not like us when things go awry.
This came from a lab leak. This is global and not every country is Red vs Blue or Vaccinated vs unvaccinated or masked vs unmasked. Yet they all have heavy death tolls.
Everyone should talk to their Doctor and ignore our politicians and bulletin board “heroes.”
unsubstantiated rumors are to be shared as facts
Facts don't mean more than opinions without proof they are true.
Just the idea it happened is enough proof needed to believe.
Conspiracy theories rule !!!!!!!!!!!!
But it has been said cloth masks aren't very effective against the Omicron version that spreading like wildfire
It also has been said regions with low vaccination rates could allow the virus that causes COVID-19 to evolve more rapidly, possibly yielding a more transmissible or antibody-resistant variant that would escalate the pandemic.
As for cloth masks they help keep infected droplets from escaping from the wearer when breathing out. But how much protection wearing one gives those around the wearer has been questioned.
The answer might be, a little protection is better than none when trying to protect those close by you..
If that's not your bag, let them eat cake , I don't want to be inconvenienced and it's a every man for himself world.
Cloth masks protecting the wearer from inhaling infected droplets doesn't seem to be a fact and a lot of scientific studies have said that.
So wearing one is best described as a way to protect others, even if it's an inconvenience to do so.
If you tend to care about keeping others safe, even those you don't know
Everything you said has been said in both directions and sometimes the same people have flip flopped. If you want non compliant people to be compliant our leaders and Medical community need to get their **** together and tell one story. You know like certain people partying in Miami without a mask or having birthday parties in Martha’s Vineyard without masks. How on earth can we expect skeptical people to comply if our leaders are do bad? The media and politicians have got out lied about this as have many on this board.
That’s why I won’t listen to anyone on this board but I will listen to my Docs. As I said earlier, there are so many people who are non compliant with even visiting their Docs, taking vitamins, not smoking, exercising, etc. They are the high risk population and on top of that they won’t get vaccinated. Go figure.
Exactly what I did. Really worth watching our scarlet nights play.
You must realize how obese Americans are. To maintain that level of obesity, 2-3 hrs without food is not an option.
how many doctors going on cnn and saying cloth masks are not anything more than a facial decoration do you have to see before you admit that cloth masks do not work
The ‘masks work or do not work’ strawman is an ignorant and/or disingenuous deflection.
Masks help, vaccines help, distancing helps, fresh air helps and handwashing helps. The more measures the better.
Of course the ‘masks don’t work’ liars would prefer getting sneezed on by someone wearing a mask rather than someone not wearing, and would want to wear a mask too in that hypothetical.

Actually it’s the opposite. The obese and overweight can last much longer than the skinny crowd without food. They just need water so they are fine.
Curious…what is the rationale for not selling food ?? Concession line overcrowding (less distancing)?
