Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Heheh, maybe the first time in my life I've ever been categorized as a Left Wing Activist.  I kind of like it!

Wear a mask.  It's not that hard and it's not a hoax.  

I have certainly called for some more rigorous studies on exactly what mask materials/densities/layers etc. work best.  It's difficult for me to fathom that we're 4-6 months into this thing depending on where you live and what date you start counting, and we still don't have some basic published studies on the effectiveness of N95 vs surgical vs 2-sided fabric vs bandanna vs scarf.  Because as I've said many times, if wearing a bandanna or a scarf really doesn't do anything, then we shouldn't be asking citizens to do so, and instead we should be telling them what DOES work and how to get ahold of it, and even providing it to citizens for cheap or free where possible.

As I stated back in March, the problem is that, starting from the first words we heard about this, we were on a timer.  We're using up our goodwill, we're using up our "COVID capital," with the public.  So telling them to do things that aren't actually beneficial, is not only a waste of everyone's time,  but it will also backfire and result in WORSE behavior.  Antagonistic behavior.  Rebellious behavior.

I was saying this back in March, and well, here we are.

Even so, wear a mask.  2-layer cotton, surgical, whatever you can get ahold of. 

I wasn't calling you guys left-wing activists... I was pointing you out as pro-mask while not being left-wing activists.

Let's bet a dollar on who they're voting for in November.

You would lose.   Big. 

But, we digress, as we should not be talking anything politics on this thread. UTee has a big hat, and he's got cattle.

It wasn't about politics... It was about how to convince someone who said they wouldn't accept info from a left-wing liberal that masks were useful.

I was only trying to point out that even people other than OAM were in favor of masks, and probably because we study the evidence.

And utee is already questionable. Is Austin really even Texas?

That's like asking if Madison is even Wisconsin. Heh.

Or if Chicago is even Illinois? I'd venture >90% of the land mass of Illinois doesn't think so.

Not necessarily. It would be an interesting case.

In my experience as employer, I've fought off a lot of unemployment claims made by people who voluntarily left my company, and I won them all.

If there are teachers (entire unions??) who voluntarily choose to not report to work, how is that different?

I was responding to the idea that the school year was cancelled.  

And I'm not even a left-wing liberal, for the millionth time.  
I find that my biggest crimes are citing evidence and knowing the difference between equity and equality.
