OMFG. 3 months. It’s been about 3 months. Here’s some food for thought. Stop spreading COVID and making excuses for why it’s necessary.

You provide very little to this forum anymore. Which is quite unfortunate because you used to be a valuable member. You don’t know anything about me.

I don't know. Let's quarantine you, expose you to smallpox, and see what happens. Have to toughen up your immune system /s

No, your thought is stupid. I'm not saying it isn't true in some contxts, but we should npot be doing it with COVID.

God I swear some of you don’t read what you say or something. You made up something completely different than what that other poster said.

The other poster brought up the long term effects of wearing masks. One of those is that we aren’t being exposed to as many minor colds as we normally would. It is a valid question if that will have a negative effect long term on our health. No where did they remotely suggest exposing people to super dangerous diseases.

My thought is stupid? What about the first part of your post?

Sorry not on wavelength for looking at killing everyone.

Gunner, I'm certainly not downplaying the virus, because it's serious, but 99.99% of people don't die from this thing.

I don't agree with you very often but I at least get where you are coming from. You are better than this.

100% of the people that have died from this thing have died from this thing. And that number should horrify everyone and give them pause with their flippancy when it comes to spreading the virus and what they support.

I believe the current research has it at 0.64 IFR which would mean 99.36% of people infected don't die.

thats all fine and good. But it is also important to note that many people that have recovered are left with lasting problems.

Yes that's very true. I just think we can talk about things on both sides without going over the top.

It was sarcasm dum dum

The "we shouldn't have fans in the stands" crowd is pretty vocal on CF but there will be 30,000 spectators that are ok with this approach. Policy seems to make sense at this point of the pandemic (low hospitalization rate, R rate state wide).

That’s great. If they want to live communally inside of JTS for the entire season that’s great. Otherwise you either aren’t smart enough or are willfully unwilling to understand how infectious disease works.

I understand completely. We can have outdoor events with spectators and keep our R rate low.

Yeah, I think wearing masks in response to the immediate threat is a good thing (along with continuing to get out of the house and interacting with the world), and setting them aside later is the best course. Our immune systems tend to weaken when not being regularly challenged in a too-sterile environment.

“I’m a sound believer that we’re too clean of a society,” says Dr. Christopher Carpenter, section head of infectious diseases and international medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. “Our fear of germs has pushed us too far into trying to keep everything safe and sterile. That extreme is harming us more than it’s helping us.”

“We are getting far too sterile,” adds Kiran Krishnan, a microbiologist and chief scientific officer for Microbiome Labs, based in St. Augustine, Florida. “Exposure to microbes is an essential part of being human. Most of our immune system is comprised of tissue that requires activation by the microbes we’re exposed to. The immune system requires the presence of friendly bacteria to regulate its functions. Think of the immune system as an army, with tanks and missiles but no general to lead them. That’s the role friendly microbes play in your body; they’re the general.” The vast majority of microbes, 97% to 99%, are benign or beneficial, and they are the best protection to fight pathogenic microorganisms, Krishnan says."

During normal times I agree with this 100%. Microbial superbugs are real. However, we need to balance developed immunity with the extreme rate of spread of this virus. Wearing masks for a while (NOT forever) will slow the spread, and will give us time to treat the infected and develop a vaccine so that we can adjust back to a more normal society.

Not if they're sitting next to each other, spraying droplets with each cheer, and not wearing masks.

That's pretty much what I was asserting (for a while, but not forever).

The only thing I know is that I will be at the ISU FB and BB games that attendance is allowed at.
