[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 724007, member: 1776"] I haven't advocated for not having kids on campus or not having college football, I hope to have both. i would advocate for social distancing. There is no reason for 50,000 people to be in the stands of a football stadium. That has the potential for very serious consequences. Even if most of those in the stadium are young and healthy they will interact with people who are not. If you take all the folks who are at a higher risk (that would include all seniors and all people with underlying conditions) that would amount to roughly 45% of the US adult population. The studies are pretty clear on mask usage, if you use them you knock down the spread of the virus. You had the case in Missouri where the 2 infected hair stylists worked on 140 people and none got sick as the stylists and all 140 customers were wearing masks. AZ is currently at 85% io hospital bed usage state wide. Montgomery, AL is currently at 100% of bed utilization and the mayor and some of the doctors at the local hospitals asked the city council to approve a mandatory mask ordinance - it was voted down 5-4. When I go out I take a mask with me. If no one is around I do not wear one. If I am going to be within 10 ft of people for any period of time then I put it on. It's a pretty simple gesture. The US is currently the Western 1st world country with the second highest new case rate per capita after only Sweden. Brazil, Peru and Saudia Arabia have higher per capita new case rates than either. We have lost 116K officially and probably closer to 175K if you look at excess deaths and even now COVID is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US behind Heart Disease and Cancer - and still far ahead of the 4th leading cause of death in the US - accidents, and is currently killing roughly 6-7X every day what the flu kills on a daily basis. Like I implied, i'm not in favor of locking the country down, but I am in favor of doing small, easy things that would help control the spread. Ironically, those who want to argue for the greatest 'freedom' don't want to take the simple steps that would allow everyone to have the most freedom and have the country be the most open. as the Surgeon General said, wearing a mask increases our freedom, not decreases it. We have seem to have forgotten common courtesy in this country, it's sort of sad. [/QUOTE]
