[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879626"] I'm going to share some advice unrelated to football or the cap as a public service announcement. The evidence has been mounting for some time, now approaching fact, that the severity of symptons after contracting the virus, or whether you have any symptoms at all, is dependent on viral load. What that means if you inhale a smaller number of virus particles the symptoms are more likely to be mild or non-existant as the immune system is better able to fight it off. If the load is high, the opposite. This has been found to be the case among many viruses including flus. Initially it was thought that a mask might prevent spewing viral particles into the air but would not protect a person from contracting the virus. Mask wearing under that assumption amounted to an unselfish public good, "socialist" in some minds. Evidence is now mounting, with experts already hinting at such for some time, that just about any mask may limit intake of the viral load, not just N-95 masks. So, if unselfish social good was not compelling, how about self-interest? Even if mask-wearing did not protect the wearer and merely a social good, the notion of exercising "American freedoms" in not wearing a mask is ludicrous based on all of the available science. Is driving drunk an "American freedom"? I don't recall any prohibition against it the Constitution or the Federalist Papers. And there really isn't any distinguishable difference between non-mask wearing and driving drunk. While insurance companies have a vested interest in both regardless, a libertarian would say that if you choose to kill yourself one way or the other that's your business. Where both the masks and the drunk driving cross the line is when the "crime" ceases to be "victimless". Don't come near me without a mask; go ahead and get drunk and wrap yourself around a telephone pole but don't involve me in it. In short, wear the d*mn mask, keep your d*mn 6' distance, and for your own good wash your d*mn hands. [/QUOTE]
