If you want football, doesn’t this seem like common sense?

Common sense has gone out of the window with this hoax called "Covid."

I can’t imagine face coverings aren’t required on all campuses.
They’re required at TAMU.
The Corps is already back and observing the new protocols.

Yes, and I imagine a lot of students will comply, but masks only do so much. They don’t eliminate the need for social distancing.

Don’t let the dumbs on this webpage speak for SEC students and athletes. A lot of these conspiracy folks buy into Q nonsense - one of the dumbest, constantly disproven conspiracy peddlers out there.

Schools require them. Students will wear them [on canpus]. It’ll be interesting to see if that’s enough, but I’m betting that semesters will be cut short. I think if that happens we can explore keeping student athletes there and have a low risk season due to how dead SEC towns get without students. Won’t help programs like Vandy, but what can you do?

I think that’s what the SEC is banking on. It’s no secret that schools are going to be a disaster, but if they can show athletes weren’t a problem despite the shitshow, then we might can play ball.

My common sense tells me that a virus that over 10,000 particles of can fit on the head of a pin isn’t going to be stopped by a mask I can see through.

Masks, even with their limited effectiveness, simply prolong the agony.

The only way over this is through it. Herd Immunity or vaccine

Isn’t it common sense that, if you are not sick, you shouldn’t wear something that catches everything that should be exhaled, and holds all that filth in your breathing zone?

They don't really help. You can look at the numbers for a state like California, which has strict mask laws and then a place like Georgia which has laws the opposite.

The spikes/curves are basically the same.

Or you can look at the data that shows the particles it blocks will travel less then 3 feet without a mask, and that's the distance from a cough, not just breathing. A mask cuts the distance in half, and does block some. So if you are going to be around someone who coughs in your face while sick, might help you a little bit. Doesn't help healthcare workers really though because it only slightly reduces the risk. They'll need shields and much more to be safe.

Wear them if you want(or if it's the law where you live for sure), but you better be doing the social distance thing and staying at home more if you actually don't want to get sick.

Common sense would say that masks spread it because they become contaminated objects that are almost entirely handled incorrectly, hence most studies showing that they are of no benefit in a community setting.
