Faucet wants masks again indoors.

Will lockdowns be next?

This is day 500 of The 15 Days to Stop The Spread!

Without this turning political, I am concerned the latest CDC guidelines will sidetrack the season.

I saw a patient in consultation today, admitted for can't breathe due to COVID. I think it has been like 2 or 3 months since I saw one at that hospital.

I think we are going in for some trouble ahead.

1. We need to have more people get vaccinated, which includes making children eligible.
2. We need to have stronger safety measures with mask mandates, capacity limits, and other mitigation tools back in place.
3. We need to get ready for boosters.
4. We need to get get politics out of public health and start acting like this a long term crisis they needs everyone moving in the same direction

Do all four of those things and we can get back to a more normal life.

So yes, I think game cancellations, reduced capacity, and other covid safety measures are going to be on the table this season. I was hoping we didn’t have to go there but it’s something I now expect to be part of college sports.

As Pogo said, "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Some of us, anyway.

If everyone had behaved responsibly, we'd be in a better place by now.

Do #2 and the season sucks. I would not mind requiring vaccination or anti body proof to attend.

Not again.

I would have thought we would have little to no governmental interference this year since there are no national elections to influence.

Next year, watch out.

That's the problem in a nutshell. Too many folks are treating Covid as a political rather than public health issue. The virus couldn't care less what any of us believe.

I like our chances in an empty Notre Dame stadium even better. Just sayin..

I read the California State University is requiring vaccinations for students and staff. Are they going to require visiting teams to be fully vaxxed? If UNLV’s football team is only at 90% will Fresno State tell them they can’t come on their campus?

Universities requiring vaccinations is nothing new. Mine had to be up to date before attending college.

If we have to wear masks or there are lockdowns, or we see empty stadiums, that certainly won’t be Fauci’s fault.

There were/are ways to avoid this scenario, but the stupid people among us choice to ignore them.

Nope. If you don't want to catch the virus. Get the vaccine. Why should everyone else stop living their life because some people don't want to get the vaccine?

We should be @ a normal life now bc the vaccine is readily available to anyone who wants it.

The virus changes and the way to stop that is to vaccinated and use mitigation. When people don’t do either the vaccines become less effective if a more contagious and deadly version emerges, that is what we are seeing now due the poor vaccination rates and bad public health policy.

It’s really not that hard to get this right unfortunately nobody wants to sacrifice their lifestyle or “freedom” when people are basically putting everyone at risk and delaying a return to normal life.

I believe there a good chance we will college football games canceled this fall due to the virus but i hope we do what it takes to get back on track.

Everyone in my family got the Trump Warp Speed created vaccine. No China virus illness and no vaccine reactions!

Social distancing works, Social distancing doesn't work, masks don't work, masks do work, vaccines work, vaccines don't work, PCR tests work, PCR tests include influenza per cdc. If you are vaccinated you can't get infected or spread it, if you are vaccinated you can get infected and spread it. Does anyone believe any of it?

That's the Fauci flip flop.
