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.

(16,867 posts)I doubt they had ever worn masks without being forced, so they had either had it with symptoms or without.

(51,308 posts)And they WERE wearing masks! Wtf?
sheshe2
(84,062 posts)The insurrectionists were spewing spittle mask-less. I am sure many masks were knocked off the faces of those defending the capitol.

(51,308 posts)Im well aware that masks arent perfect. Ive been masked since March, but I got sick in August.
Its a scary thing.

(84,062 posts)Mandated here and now many of us are double masking.

(51,308 posts)Its the only thing we can do at this point.

(1,375 posts)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.

(8,366 posts)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.

(35,454 posts)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.

(22,919 posts)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.

(24,658 posts)They are potentially spreading it far and wide.
The Patriots..Patriots team flew 67 healthcare workers on their private plane to join them in the festivities. 67 healthcare workers that we CAN NOT afford to lose. We are in a crisis.

(84,062 posts)I am sure I can catch it again.
I am watching Designated Survivor. Keiffer Sutherland is phenomenal in his role.
Lasher
(27,675 posts)It was crowded and the only mask I saw was one being worn by a reporter.
Only caught the one clip of the anthem because someone posted it here.
CNN...the Mayor said she had tried to close the bars and DeSATAN wanted them open.

(27,675 posts)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.

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.
