Just got back home from the Granville Morgantown Walmart and the guy working at the door gave me a mask and said it is mandatory again for what it is worth here in Morgantown
i went to Kroger today in Morgantown- - no mask mandate.

Quarantine, people still got covid.
Social distance, people still got covid.
Wear a mask, people still got covid.
Get the vaccine, people still got covid.
The definition of insanity.
You have a good point but you have to be fair about it also. I'm going to go out on the limb and say:
For those that quarantined, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that practiced social distancing, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that wore a mask, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that got the vaccine, the great majority did not get covid.

I went to all the games that fans were allowed to attend last year....they had people walk around holding "masks up" signs, but they were not aggressively pointing people out or anything.

Also, I went to fan day this past Saturday and no fans were wearing masks....a few (maybe 8 or so) players wore them during the autograph session.
I also went to all fan allowed home games, always had a beer handy along with popcorn. Never wore a mask in the stands!!

I think that’s just a Walmart thang bro. I’m sure you put that mask on like a good sheep 🤣. They were trying to get me put on a mask at the receiving dock at the Walmart I deliver to this morning. I said nah it’s too freaking hot. Just stay 6 feet away from me please

Kroger is not mandating it but requesting people to mask up when shopping…Walmart is being more enforcing with vendors in certain locations with it but not customers yet that I know of down in the southern part

Lewisburg is business as normal
Eisenhower Beckley is enforcing mask on vendors
MacArthur Walmart is business as usual
Summersville is enforcing mask on vendors
Flatwoods is enforcing mask on vendors

Not heard about Fayetteville or Princeton

Also just read a report from the Massachusetts outbreak concerning vaccinated people catching COVID-19 stating the deaths in those instances were people with underlying conditions and average ages being around 82 FYI

It will depend on infection and hospitalization levels...which depends on vaccination levels.

If you want to be sure the season isn't interrupted get vaccinated and encourage your friends and family to get vaccinated as well.

Its the only way to get this nightmare behind us.

As a side benefit it will also help in keeping people alive. If you're into that.
This will end up like the flu in that every season we will be guessing which variant will be running rampant.

If there's a delta booster, I'll take it. If there's a lambda booster, pass it on. Let's fight this thing and try to get past it... And as far as attending games this season, if they make you wear a mask, I just hope they sell beers that you can easily drink under your gaiter. Fingers crossed.

Hmmm, went to Wally World here in Harrisonburg last evening, no mask required. And we live under Dictator Ralphie.

Anyone hear if they are going to go back on the No mask necessary Policy at the football games?
I think the WVU admin. will take the stance that if you have been vaccinated it will be a personal choice as to whether you wear a mask or not. But, if you have not been vaccinated, you will be strongly encouraged to wear a mask.

If it is true about the Delta variant being xxx times more contagious than the regular covid, then being at a ballgame screaming and yelling, it could present a dangerous situation for fans .

It’s interesting that many people who make comments like that one also endorse just going with herd immunity.
In this instance it was said ironically by me to a poster I grew up with. Just me yukking it up with a right winger. (I’m a libtard)

What I read didn’t address booster shots but my personal thought is they will be required until more folks are vaccinated and CV19 goes pretty much goes away.
Not sure if serious. COVID is never going away. No matter what happens. If we were 90% vaccinated in the US & masked up everywhere it would still be out there. It’s not going away, no matter what we do.

Dang right I did. Put it on like a ***** 😂 Complied just like the French folk when Hitler rolled into France. I couldn’t do the silent protest and walked off, I was in a rush

That Mass case that CDC used to highlight vaccinated people getting COVID (something like 700 vaccinated people got it). It was July 4 the weekend.. something called "bearfest" in Provincetown Mass which I understand is Rehoboth Beach on steroids for Gay men. Of those 700 plus vaccinated positive patients... 89 percent were Male and over 40. Something tells me the contact that caused this spreading event wasn't the kind you get standing in line at Kroger.... For whatever reason few media sources have mentioned this. I guess they think they'd be critiqued for focusing on the lifestyles of the patients... But I think we'd agree the same thing could happen at a Hetero Swingers resort as well and again the point would be this isn't ROUTINE contact that cause vaccinated people in such a large number to contract COVID.

Very true. However:

For those that didn’t quarantine, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that did not practice social distancing, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that did not wear a mask, the great majority did not get covid.
For those that have not gotten the vaccine, the great majority did not get covid.

can we get off our high horse now?

Wal Mart in Lewisburg isn’t making people wear a mask.

Exactly....miller lites and popcorn were able to be stretched out a long time..... And while they held up the signs for masks, no one ever singled anyone out and said something (at least from what i saw in section 104)

I was called out at the last game by some old hag of an usher. I had a coke in my hand and no one within 20 feet of me and she verbally harassed me until I put the mask on. I called the AD'S office on Monday and expressed my extreme displeasure and let them know my money spends anywhere and doesn't have to be given to the mac. The apologies were pretty profuse.

You left out that those who got COVID the vast majority did not die.

I'm betting we may see no one allowed at sporting events........based on the way things appear to be heading.
Dr. Fauci is sounding the alarm bells
Fauci chastised those attending the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally: "You’re going to get to do that in the future, but let's get this pandemic under control before we start acting like nothing is going on."
"I'm very concerned that we're going to see another surge related to that rally," Fauci said.
Fauci admitted that it was "understandable" that people "want to do the kind of things they want to do," though he called on rallygoers to consider their impact on the spread of COVID-19.
"There comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis, that could involve you, your family, and everyone else that something supersedes that need to do exactly what you want to do," Fauci said.

Despite being true from a statistical standpoint. a whole lot of people have died from it.

For those who won’t wear masks (especially those who have not been vaccinated), why is it such a big deal to wear a mask or face covering? I know it’s hot…blah blah blah…but seriously, why do people refuse to do it when it can help put an end to this. Vaccinations are the best defense but if people choose not to have something injected into their bodies, that’s their choice. However, wearing a mask is not invasive and has no side effects. So I am asking sincerely why is it such a big deal?

I know many on here don't want to hear it, but my 40 year old daughter is still very, very sick eight weeks from diagnosis with the vaccine. She cannot even lift a cup of juice. Her friend who was not vaccinated and with 3 young daughters has been hospitalized over a week on oxygen and declining. He wished he had gotten it. My daughter had minor symptoms the first two weeks and then went downhill with probably every symptom there is. The worst is muscle pains and severe weakness.

USA TODAY:
CHICAGO – The sight was striking. As COVID-19 cases surged in the U.S. last weekend, the city's downtown was a sea of mostly unmasked humanity as hundreds of thousands crowded together for the outdoor music festival Lollapalooza.
A chorus of public health experts sounded the alarm about the fast spread of the contagious coronavirus delta variant – even by the fully vaccinated – and the city called for masking indoors, yet more than 385,000 people packed the four-day event.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended the decision to hold the festival, citing strict pandemic precautions that required concertgoers show proof of vaccination or a negative coronavirus test and to wear a mask.

Festivalgoers enjoy Day 1 of the Lollapalooza Music Festival on Thursday, July 29, 2021, at Grant Park in Chicago.
