But the Mainstream media and left exaggeration of it absolutely did and it’s impossible to logically deny given they suddenly didn’t care as they created Anarchy across the nation and encouraged large crowds and suddenly didn’t care anymore, the very same people who most militantly pushed the virus. You have elected mayors and governors permitting riots and the desecration of property and forcing their police to stand down. Wake up dude. The moderates and sensible folks on the left really need to wake, the face they haven’t tells me this Maoist revolution has infected them.

Answer to when will it ever end, it won't. I just got back from the grocery store, there were at least 60 people in food lion, and myself, an older lady, and the Food lion employees were the only people that were wearing a mask. There were probably 40-45 other shoppers walking around shopping without a mask of any type with absolutely no concern for themselves or anybody else they come in contact with.

Every person that I saw without a mask, I thought that I would love to say a few words to them when they were in a hospital somewhere close to being on their deathbed. I would say to them, don't whine and cry now bc you were fully aware of how dangerous it was when you went out shopping totally unprotected.

Anybody that gets sick from covid 19 bc they wasn't making any attempt to protect themselves, I don't have any compassion for them bc they knew before they ever got dressed to go out what their risk were, and they personally chose to ignore the risk, and they got what they figure would never happen to them. There is no excuse for playing Russian roulette with the only life you have, and risking the lives of their loved one bc they freely chose to be an F-ing idiot!!!!

I think this says more about you than the people walking around without a mask.

Yeah, it's not a smart move but saying what you said is just as arrogant and ignorant.

I'd definitely feel similar for those I saw acting reckless like the videos of people packed like sardines at waterparks or parties...that is idiocracy 100%!

Regardless, shame on you for this kind of comment.

Certainly hope none of your loved ones catch the worse end of COVID-19 no matter if they chose to be at a packed waterpark or a protest.

Really, dude? You want to dance on someone's grave? That's definitely not the Clemson way. Myself, havent been wearing one. I'm in and out of Lowes, HD, and various supply stores on a daily basis. Havent worn one at all and not sick, or at least havent had symptoms. The FACTS are that no one really knows or understands this.

Went on the CDC website to really look at this covid crap. This is here to stay. Its not going away. Its a virus(NOT a disease) that is, in essence, a mutation and/or recombination of building blocks that make up
The spanish flu
Swine flu
Sars
Mers
Bird flu
Etc.
Its here to stay. You are highly likely to catch it at some point.
Also, I know about masks. I have done quite a bit of research on masks. I deal with asbestos, lead and other issues. The mask you, and probably just about everyone else you saw, DOES NOT KEEP YOU FROM CATCHING ANYTHING. You wear it to keep you from passing it to others. Most people i see wearing these surgical masks, or construction masks, wear them incorrectly. Their nose is exposed, they have facial hair, etc. So dont preach about masks. Theyre not what you think they are.
You do what makes you comfortable. If wearing your mask keeps you warm and safe at night, then wear one. For all the good it'll do you. But dont get all preachy about what others should do. Makes you sound unAmerican

My 20 year old son tested positive in pre-surgery screening at Duke two weeks ago, he was asymptomatic. We demanded another test and the results came back negative five days later. He had not left the house for 20 days prior to the first test due to being incapacitated from back issues. Everyone in the household was tested with negative results. His surgery was pushed back three weeks and he now must be tested twice within 48 hours with negative results for them to proceed. The boy is in terrible pain and was so looking forward to relief, this whole ordeal has been a struggle.

UH suspends workouts after six positive COVID-19 tests

Houston suspends all voluntary workouts after six athletes test positive for COVID-19

National avg. of those tested for Covid 19 is 6.3%

So, if Clemson tested 169 athletes, and only had 3 test positive, that is way below the national avg.

Check CDC for figures. Lots of info on CDC and you have to dig to find the test results. CDC talks mainly about hospitalizations.

It would be very interesting to see where the majority of those cases are coming from. Considering all the rioting and looting we have had in Raleigh and Charlotte, and the lack of distancing, if those areas are the areas blowing up, well, you'd have part of your answer. It seems to me, that if the mayor of Raleigh, and the governor, were Sooooo enamored with getting over this, they would have shut down those riots quickly and efficiently. They were more concerned with their own politics and face value than what was best for the people.

Lots of good comments in here and lots that folks should be embarrassed about posting. Of course there were positive tests and of course there will be more. There are plans for how to deal with this for the folks involved and there should be plans for quarantine for those that want to make this a political matter. Trump didn't cause this and neither did the liberal media - get over it, its biology and only biology. Listen to the scientists and not the politicians, wear your masks and learn from the mistakes we have already made, like rushing to open things up when it was clear we were not ready. Maybe then we can have some semblance of athletics as we cycle between periods that will be our norm for the next couple of years. We know social distancing works to slow things down but as they say, when the parachute slows down the rate of your fall you don't take it off!

Unfortunately, sir, you need to be wearing a very specific mask. Surgical masks and the dust(construction) masks that you see at Lowes and HD are not capable of keeping out the virus. They keep the person wearing it from transmitting it to others. Slowing transmission is very important, but someone like you needs a respirator. Basically, a mask that will keep out asbestos particles. Most people arent wearing the masks they have correctly, anyway. It has to cover the mouth and nose and have complete, unobstructed coverage...no facial hair. I hope this helps you. Dust and surgical masks will obviously give you more than nothing, but if that is what you are using, you need to upgrade.

As mentioned earlier in this thread, our family has experienced a positive test recently. The Duke medical staff we consulted with informed us that it takes at least ten minutes of exposure in less than six feet separation for the virus to spread airborne.

My point was that if you're trying to be safe you need to take every precaution. The surgical and or dust masks are not the best prevention. If my trying to be supportive and helpful has upset you in any way please let me be effusive in my Drew Brees apologies

Good post but unfortunately even the scientists are all over the place on the issue. Even with something one would think as simple to figure out as if wearing a mask helps theyve gone from it doesn't, to it does, to the WHO saying last week that maybe it doesn't. Same thing goes for both how it's transmitted as we'll as how contagious it actually is. The mortality rates been reported as being anywhere from as high as 2-3% to possibly as low as .1% since nobody knows just how many people have had this already.

Then you have scientists and medical professionals, after months of telling us to stay home, come out with a statement saying that its OK to protest, and ignore everything they've been telling us, since racism is more important.

At this point one would think there would be a medical concensus that applied to everyone and wasn't conditional on the SJW cause du jour but apparently that isn't the case, thus theres confusion, resentment and people saying enough is enough.

Think about a football season where Lawrence and Etienne test positive and have to sit out NC St, Syracuse and Notre Dame. With the recent uptick and 2 players testing positive now I am becoming more pesimistic about the 2020 season!
