You know, Abject, instead of starting a whole new thread to respond to a locked post, you could have just, ya know, messaged the guy. I am pretty sure that is what Jesus would do.
The basic premise of a mask (whether inside or outside of football) is the restriction of air which helps contain the spread of particulates. So the principles of the scientific studies outside of football do apply but the exact efficacy percentage may be different with the football specific visors.
As in the non-football studies any form of protection against COVID is better than no protection.
So if masks work, why have positive cases gone up in Michigan since July 17th, when a mask mandate was in effect? Why were there spikes in California when everything is/was shut down and masks were mandated? Why does the CDC say that 1 out of every 300 positive cases was caused by an asymptomatic person? Why does the CDC still say social distancing (6ft) and washing your hands, not wearing a mask, is the best measure to fight spreading the virus?
-There are infinite factors (beyond a mask mandate) that go into the number of cases in a state.
-What does the stat of 1/300 cases being caused by asymptomatic people have to do with the price of tea in China?
-The CDC is under a lot of political pressure from the president.
He is making the point that if you aren’t showing symptoms, your chances of spreading it are really low. Which goes back to Dr. Fauci’s comment that if you aren’t showing symptoms, there isn’t much reason to wear a mask.
I don’t mind wearing a mask and being precautious is fine. I am just not willing to pretend masks are more than what they are.
Please explain how the science is improperly supplied by suggesting that the restriction of air flow and particulates will help control the spread of COVID whether inside or outside of football.
