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

So since my dad's death I have been pretty much the primary care taker for my mom.  This past Sunday I took her to church for the first time since the funeral.  It wasn't really all that packed, maybe 75-100 people in a building that usually holds 2-300.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, was wearing any masks or really doing social distancing.  Hands were being shaked, hugs exchanged, etc.  I was kinda weird to be in such a large crowd where nobody wore masks.  Even at my dad's funeral, in this same building, a large portion of the attendants were wearing masks.  Having already had covid I'm not really scared anymore, and I know that a good amount of people there probably had it as well, including mom.  I know there have been several large outbreaks at area churches.  Not sure why but it seems that there is a real backlash against wearing masks at religious activities.  

I haven't been to church since COVID hit

one wedding reception, no funerals

I consider myself a religious man, but I guess I don't feel that need to worship in large groups

We've done online.  It's good enough for me and I can wear my PJs and slippers.

Nah I always run on Sunday mornings after church.  That's my "long run" day so no partaking beforehand.

But when I finish, yeah, a little OJ and Vitamin T is always a good call.

One thing that I appreciate about this forum is that while we can (and frequently do) disagree about how to interpret data/info, we all agree that the source info must be good and won't put up with bad sources and pseudo-science.

The interpretations and projections of data discussed on this thread are more levelheaded than most anything from the supposed TV experts.

For some more data interpretation of the lighter variety, see below:

Though Iran's Daily Case & Death totals have been dubious due to poor tracking and filtered news, the consistencies of reported numbers are worth a look. Both Daily Cases counts and Daily Death counts have flatlined, with the flatlining of the Death counts lagging at two weeks from the Case counts as expected.

Note the Daily Case counts have flatlined at just above 6000 while the Daily Death Counts have flatlined at *about* 85.

That's about 85 deaths per 6000 cases. Do the math (85/6000) and the numbers indicate about 1.4% of cases result in death.

Does this percentage fit with what we're seeing in the U.S.? And Elsewhere? I'm guessing it's generally closer to 2%?

My Church has two services.  First one, mask required, no sitting near anyone except family members.  The second services is outside for those who don't feel comfortable indoors. 

I tried the online services, just not the same.
