Full stadiums this fall

OK a couple of things here, yes I will attend the games in Lincoln if they are played. Next if no games are played or they are played without fans in the seats I would hope that not only is what I paid for my season tickets credited to next year's tickets but my donation is too. I certainly hope they do not expect me to make a donation for a season full of games that cannot be attended by fans. The same thoughts would apply to my volleyball and basketball season tickets too.
The CDC did not recommend masks for most people in the early stages of all of this because they didn't want an all out run on masks by the general public. It didn't work. Masks were soon scarce anyway and now some characterize it as indecision by the CDC since they now have recognized that masks do indeed help.
The good news for you is that people on statins such as Lipitor have a 3 fold reduction in symptoms from COVID-19. They don't know why it holds true but that is what research out of England has shown in care facilities.
Why does it not surprise me that you're a teacher.....
Very interesting nice find where ever you found that bit of information.
I would think knock offs like Atorvastatin would fall in line too..
statistics should give you a reasonable idea of how those in your house would react, right? otherwise, what's the point of scientific research?
as for the gray area, you either want to go to a game or you don't. being exposed to folks who were in attendance is no different than passing by someone who's ridden the bus, been to a crowded store or any other means of exposure. it's not like football games accelerate infection or cause them to be any more serious.
same goes with fans in attendance bringing something home. they're not making their decisions in a vacuum, either. nuance is not lost on those who may see the world differently than you, professor.
I've been told that is what will happen. If no season or season with empty stadium, you will not get a refund but you have prepaid for next year. I think that scenario is small
I think Ricketts has been handling the virus okay, but I can't stand the guy.
1) I'm in a town of 5,000. I would bet that going to my local grocery story at 9 am here is much different that being in a stadium with 45,000 people (never mind 90,000). Yeah....I could still come in close proximity of the wrong person, but the odds of that happening are way less at my grocery store than at the stadium.
2) At no point did I say or imply what others should think or how they should view the world....let alone what they should do, professor. All I was saying is that my decision on attending such events is going to be made with others in mind...and I don't see anything wrong with that. I get that others may view things differently, or have different priorities.
3) My "grey area" was in reference to the notion that, in the minds of some, if you're not willing to take every risk out there right now, then you're cowering in fear. That simply isn't true.
oh, okay. sorry for not tailoring my post to your exact situation. my fault.
other than that, sounds like we agree on most everything. GBR.
If you were going to restrict attendance it would be a huge problem to decide who goes and who doesn't since most are season tickets. I think it will come to a everybody goes if they want or nobody goes.
For me I wear a surgical mask, however, CDC is all over the board. They recommend home made cloth coverings for the general public. Interestingly WHO also doesn't recommend masks for healthy people. To quote CDC as of today
"...Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.
The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance."
So along come Governors and Mayors to make pronouncements that requiring you to volunteer.
The inconsistent messaging has been a disaster and may have had the biggest negative impact. Mask up fellas.
I believe there is a difference. Yelling loudly increases the chance of spreading it over just walking by someone.
1) How far away is the season?
2) What was the original goal of social distancing? b. Was it met, or were the goal posts moved?
3) Is the virus ever going to go away? b. Is a vaccine realistic?
4) What % of the pop has been exposed?
5) Why are we afraid of spreading it?

That would be good.The good news for you is that people on statins such as Lipitor have a 3 fold reduction in symptoms from COVID-19. They don't know why it holds true but that is what research out of England has shown in care facilities.

Shazaaaaam!!! I would have maybe used the word "treat" rather than "control", at this point (given that we can't "control" the common cold)... however, that is a small matter of semantics, I guess. Good for Gordon!
Just imagine yelling in a mask.. I can barely breath in it just sitting waiting for my father’s doctor appointment not alone on a hot humid day to start the season..
Yeah, that's not going to happen. I'm an open everything immediately guy, but you know there is a greater risk of getting it if you go to a football game than going to the store or having friends over to your house. Some will take the risk, others will not.
True, but "getting it" means... not much, if anything, for the huge majority of those in attendance. I would be more concerned about people wearing masks in the heat, fainting and falling - especially the elderly. Heck, after recent trips to Walmart, where one guy was using his hand as a mask...and another lady protecting herself with a hat fitted with a Malaria net...I am not sure Covid is the biggest risk out there.
