    Maybe if we all treated the virus with this level of respect, we might be actually seriously talking about football this year and fall semester school. It is the downplaying it from the get go that has our numbers where they are.

    I have said from day 1 of this thing, if we do not take every single possible precaution within reason, we are not having football. If we did have football, it would not be with fans in the stands as we did last year.

    No one can argue with the absolute best way not to get this thing is to distance.
    2nd best way not to get it is wear a mask if you can't distance.
    3rd best thing is to constantly wash your hands.

    Point taken, you can be in contact with someone and not immediately get it. But there is a serious risk if you are in contact with someone. Not like Measles bad, but pretty bad.
    Don’t get pissy that you get called out by confusing contact with the virus and contracting the virus. You were pretty absolute that contact = contracting...that’s not true or how infection rates work. And we are not just considering a passer by having it and you just happen to cross paths with them. Contact tracing to determine the infection rate is much much more in depth than just passing someone on the street.

    As it stands right now, we are probably looking closer to common cold / smallpox R0 but it’s still in flux
