Pollard announces plan for 25,000 fans at season opener

6 feet and 15 minutes are not concrete numbers on contracting a virus. The more people you come into contact with increases the odds of transmission. It's how superspreading occurs.

That is what I've said, but I was told by several in other threads that I should not worry about those other shoppers in Target because I was by them for at least 15 minutes, and this was not from the anti-mask people, quite the opposite. It seems to change on a regular basis what some people say is correct and what isn't. I haven't gotten that from you, but a handful of other posters.

Terrible idea. Ames is the #1 in Covid-19 new cases per capita. But don't worry about fallout: Reynolds will doctor any negative numbers.

Everytime someone talks about positive cases, I'll refer them to this:

Your Coronavirus Test Is Positive. Maybe It Shouldn’t Be. (Published 2020)

The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.

www.nytimes.com

It turns out that if you have a relatively small city, and mass test about 1/4 of the population, you are going to find cases. Does that mean they have active virus now? We don't know. Data would suggest 90% of them probably don't.

Hopefully you aren't going off the NY times article, President Winterstein is discussing what the correct numbers are with them for their corrections. Using NY times researched data is not a wise decision.

Instead of 6 feet and 15 minutes, which is freaking arbitrary as hell, it should be an interaction count limit. People should limit the number of people they interact with in a day to x number of people.

We're going. Got new ISU masks ordered and ready to follow the guidelines to ensure we all get to go to six games this year if we want to!

I am very comfortable with safe distanced outdoor activities now - I went to Sturgis this year and can report that I stayed healthy. Avoided crows like the plague. Wait, too soon? Seriously, I didn't even get off the bike in Sturgis (where the news showed all the no mask, no social distance.) Rode the Hills like it was my last chance to do it, camped, had a great week with good friends! And have the shirt (and commemorative mask) to prove it.

Hey, I agree with you. The less people you are around, the less chance you have to catch it. To me that always made logical sense.

I stand corrected. Still though, 25k offers plenty of room. Im old enough to remember the crowds during the BVDV years. Plenty of room to space out.

What are you even talking about? We went to 5 bowl games during BVDV's years as AD. We were no where near averaging that low of an amount.

 

[EIClone]

I plan to go. I plan to follow the guidelines set up. I don't want to be the one to wreck it for everyone to enjoy it. Go Cyclones.

As someone who’s 5’11”, that one less inch off of 6’ does play a big factor when trying to meet women.

I had to make sure that last one was a ‘ not a “.

Just go full capacity 25000 makes it impossible to distance 6 feet anyway

It would actually depend on the size of the groups. I don’t know how wide each seat space is, but for easy math, ifthe average group size is 3, then you could have about 4 seats between each group if needed. I would think that would be about 6 feet. Ideally, there’d be 6 feet between every group, but it won’t work out that way. If masks truly work and fans don’t high five or take their masks off, it should work. I am hopeful at least. I don’t envy anyone in decision making positions.

Crack down on any yokels for everyone else.

Pollard For President!!!!!

I had to double check before hitting “post” to make sure

And also the louder you are being and more yelling you are doing the greater distance viral particles are expelled. In a game environment that would increase the distance beyond 6 ft. 6 ft is just a guideline for when doing normal business and having conversations at room levels

Funny right here. Two folks immediately abuse my post. One cites a NY Times article as justification. The other says never trust the NY Times. And what are the magic Winterstein numbers?

I’m curious as to why that is.

it only takes one.

Fewer interactions; less chance you interact with that one.

It was mentioned she was working on the corrected data with them. I don't remember the exact data they stated, but that is what Winterstein said in her presser.
