good, it's needed. there's way too many selfish luddites breathing up in everyone's face in the midst of a pandemic. it's a little mask. not a chastiity belt, socialist plot or deep state tracking device. and it prevents around 60% of transmissions which is crucial because almost half of covid positive people have no symptoms. in places where mask use is basically universal covid spread has been largely controlled and people will be able to do things like go to the game-with a mask on.

Meanwhile, further south it's being reported Alabama students are throwing COVID parties and betting on who tests positive first.

Good luck controlling for loose fitting or used surgical masks. Also dirty cloth masks.

they're better than nothing. and there's no reason we can't have a community standard of hygiene during a pandemic that includes wearing a decent simple mask. i mean, we change our underwear, we buy pants that fit, we throw out the garbage. why can't people just wear a mask. run the old in the dryer for 3 minutes. wash it in the sink. spend 5 bucks to get a new one so you don't get sick or risk the life of the old folks, the nurses and doctors and medical assistants in your hometown.

i don't get how so many people blame poor folks for their situation by saying "if they were just responsible..." but when people with resources insist on being irresponsible people are like "you can't make people do stuff if they don't wanna".

or, put it this way. do you want to watch sports next season? then wear a mask today-a clean one-and tell other people to do the same thing-in a friendly way.

haha, well, I was raised to handle my sh#t and I'd already helped raise 3 little brothers and sisters so I went to college knowing how to cook, clean, do laundry. And as a TPS grad I was one of those kids who appreciated the opportunity of college and actually went to class, organized my time and limited the partying to Friday and Saturday nights cuz I knew I was fortunate to have the chance to be there and not be hustling crack on Upton like some of my old friends. but, maybe I'm just a pompous old fart now that expects people to have both personal responsibility and empathy for others.

haha, I cooked, cleaned and did laundry to work my way through college. Well actually, that money didn't make much a dent in the bills but did buy some personal items so I didn't feel such a slug and strombolis.

I'm a TPS grad but that didn't play into appreciation of college more or less for me. I wasn't poorer or less fortunate for having attended public school. With life experience behind me, I believe I'm richer for it. To each their own interpretation. Different systems add to the valued diversity of thought.

There are a lot of "pompous" old farts declaring empathies, definitions of which I find they change as the crap hits their own personal fan. Judgmental, I work on not being, hopefully with growing success. Empathy comes from that.

At what age do we become so philisophical? I'd rather play ball and not wake-up to read that another officer has been killed or another war started. 04-cheers

RE: Ohio State Students Will Wear Masks Indoors
Young people wherever they are will completely violate social distancing Standards whenever they are out of sight or in sight given the opportunity. This has already been proven at so called liberal or Conservative universities or high schools. The very idea that college, high school, or elementary kids will social distance when “ hanging out” is ABSURD. The idea of masks at school is a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has left or in this case putting on the mask after the breath has left. I recently attended a HS graduation party of a young lady who stated masks required on the invitation and very quickly the kids were mask free shortly after arrival and all were hugging, kissing and sitting next to each other at eight person round tables munching away. So much for social distancing and the parents said “oh well” and chose not to intervene like all weak ass parents in today’s society.

The very idea that a cloth mask will prevent a less than 2 micron virus when airborne from a sneeze, breath , or other human exerted bodily moisture is absurd. The virus does indeed separate and a mask far in excess of N95 is actually required to filter the virus. Wearing a mask, particularly a cloth mask outside is beyond ridiculous.

However, I can see the logic behind campus movements as it is unlikely the people will switch on and off with their mask with regularity if given the option. Therefore masks being worn at all times on a crowded campus makes some safe sense.

OTOH.... As stated above I do not and will not wear a mask outside. I might make an exception for a UT football game to please otherwise minded fellow Rocket fans. I will however wear a mask into a public enclosed space. I do believe this is the best safe option. I own true closed around the mouth surgical masks which I have owned in abundance for years due to health issues. Anything else is not much good at the virus level. I do occasionally enter stores without a mask but I always wear a fabric neck bandana moisture container wicking ring/scarf so I can simply lift it up over my nose if required and then back down as an apparel item afterwards.

It’s a shame the COVID situation has gotten political on both sides. I hate the vitriol so damn much. I so hope our country can come together and find a kinder heart on both sides. Both POV’s need a kick in the ass.

Pono... I respect your opinion. Let’s hope this virus gets behind us so we can move on and focus on much needed bigger longer standing health, political, and economic, issues. My above statements are a mixed bag because I also have split feelings as likely all Americans do.

My best, blessed, and safe wishes to all Rocket fans

Go Rockets.

I just hope the immune system is able to fight off future strains of the virus - which may not be the case given the history of many corona viruses. Then I wholly support all the young and stupid to be virus carriers in order to develop some level of initial herd immunity in front of any vaccine that is developed. Maybe they can help with the studies of the disease.

No matter how you look at it, deaths and serious illness can be limited if those most vulnerable remain isolated and practice the steps set out by the CDC. Wear a mask, wash your hands, don't touch your face unless you just washed your hands, and stay as far away from others as possible. It's a virus. You don't catch it by walking outside or through an open window. You get it from others. Doesn't matter what students in Alabama are doing, if those that are most vulnerable do the right things, they cannot catch it from anyone. You can't count on the students to make the right decisions, so parents, grandparents and everyone else having contact with anyone have to take their own precautions.
