What you are too stubborn to admit is that you are not taking personal responsibility by refusing to wear a mask. Your Personal responsibility to society is not to infect others. You are contagious before you show symptoms. Therefore, you cannot be certain you are not sick and infecting others.
Your right to swing your arm ends at my nose.
Your right to not wear a mask ends at your ability to infect others.
Again, you are too stubborn to know the truth. If you have the Flu, you are contagious and show symptoms in the same 24 hours. With Covid, you get the virus, you spread the virus for a week, then you show symptoms.
Wearing a mask might help some with Flu in crowded areas like airplanes and public transit.
The virus doesn't care what "you believe" and I see no evidence you took enough microbiology or virology classes to have an educated enough opinion about it.
Yeah because the mask plan he had in place was working so well that the largest medical center in the world has run out of normal ICU beds....
Abbot did it as a last resort and overloaded our medical system.
The mandate is legal and enforceable. It's a public health issue. George Washington mandated immunization.
Yeah because death is the only issue with COVID....

And no way those players have older people in their families, they are all orphans...
If sheltering everyone under 50 worked then we would not have outbreaks in nursing homes...
But we do, so that doesn't work.
and the entire world shut down. Every nation shut down it's economy. the difference is most of those goverments too it seriously, required masks, tested, contact traced, and isolated.
My home office is in Belgium. Belgium had the worst response to Covid -19 in Europe. They got a late start. They were shut down a month, work from home with 25% staff in the office for another 2 weeks, then to 50%. They wear masks, social distance, and shut down everything. 11% of the population was laid off.
Now they have less than 125 cases a day for the past 2 months. Wearing a mask is required in public. Social distancing is required. Most businesses are open.
We have been shown what to do. And that it works.
But we have too many that refuse to do it. And that's why we will not have in person schools or sports this fall.
My post did not even contain the word death, yet you immediately changed the narrative to be about lack of death.
My post was about hospitalizations and asymptomatic. And you didn't answer the question: again, how many players have been sick enough to be hospitalized? Zero.
Finally, why on earth do you think our players would have to (or choose to) be around their older family members? Are you questioning their intelligence? Their compassion for their families? How dare you. Who are you to presume they are too stupid to not be around old people? I have old family members and I am not around them.
Just another reminder, because apparently no one seems to remember this, or wants to acknowledge it, but not wearing a mask is killing the economy right now. The 60+ crowd are the ones with the most disposable income, and study after study has shown that these people are indeed staying home because they don't feel safe. And it's the low wage service workers that serve this demographic that have lost the most jobs. So if you give a shit about people out of work, please wear a mask. The economics of Mississippi may be different because it's more rural with a smaller economy, but it's worth being aware of just the same.
