I am sorry.

Yes I know some live for the Super Bowl. However CNN said today that "ONLY" 25K fans would be attending. 25K in the midst of a pandemic.

Saw the interview with the Mayor of Tampa. She said all would be masked etc, etc,etc. Then I watched a clip during the anthem, they showed the field, many maskless and some with them pulled under their nose. Just another super spreader in the name of America!

F this shit.

Vaccinated or not, you still can spread it and need to wear a mask.

I doubt they had ever worn masks without being forced, so they had either had it with symptoms or without.

The insurrectionists were spewing spittle mask-less. I am sure many masks were knocked off the faces of those defending the capitol.

I’m well aware that masks aren’t perfect. I’ve been masked since March, but I got sick in August.

It’s a scary thing.

Your droplets with covid in them will be stopped by your mask, which is right on your face. However, droplets out there in the air will be breathed in through your mask and the open areas at your cheeks and chin (or not, depending on which mask). They don't shield incoming, they do best shielding outgoing. I was just saying this morning how odd it is that all those maskless idiots breathing in covid from all the panting and yelling and spitting are fine.

Breathing with that much chem in the air is not easy. With or with out a mask.the duche bag protesters would not ever admit to contracting Covid if not hospitalized. They are selfish total assholes.

Trust me, there was an uptic from insurrection day.

Used to watch Studio Wrestling on channel 11 from Pittsburgh years ago at like 1 am. They had a spectator "Ringside Rosy" and
the rest of the crowd was just a picture of fans. That was back in the Bruno San Martino days.

But they're not. This is how you get a half million deaths in a year, or at least it's a big part of that, this attitude. I remember when this all began us being told if we held the death count to between 100,000 and 200,000 we would have done fairly well for pandemic conditions. Now we will be lucky if we can hold deaths to below 3/4's of a million.

44. Super Bowl revelers without masks crowd Tampa streets despite coronavirus
Mon Feb 8, 2021, 09:25 AM
Feb 2021
TAMPA — Dr. Anthony Fauci advises people to lay low for the Super Bowl, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say your risk of spreading coronavius increases with the number of people you encounter, and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor has ordered people to wear masks in popular outdoor areas through next week.

But judging by photos and videos from the scene, these exhortations fell on largely deaf ears the night before the Super Bowl along historic Seventh Avenue in Ybor City.

This said, the fact there even was a football season is just crazy ....

Even in my Ohio town people are having Superbowl parties. A week or two we'll spike the numbers yet again. Maybe we'll manage to pop a mutation no vaccine can kill ...

ugh and double ugh.
