TSSAA ED says fate of high school football unknown as of now

[sportsguy22]

So, evidently the mask thing is falling apart now. The CDC is recommending all asymptomatic people can operate as normal and are not contagious. Many states quietly have implemented these protocols without any big headlines. Keep in mind, all of us along with health professionals highly suggest that if you have symptoms and/or have been diagnosed with COVID you should stay at home and away from people. This, by the way, should always happen no matter what the illness is. If you are sick and have symptoms, stay at home and away from people! Common sense obviously. So, there is simply no need for masks. If asymptomatic people are not contagious, then there is no use for masks. Not to mention, there is more and more evidence that nobody should be wearing a mask for more than a short period of time. It is dangerous to be breathing your own carbon dioxide for much longer than 30 minutes. Even doctors who perform surgeries or other procedures immediately remove their masks ASAP after finishing. Unless you subscribe to the theory that we should all wear masks all year long no matter what because someone could be symptomatic and stubbornly out in public, then what in the world are we doing?! As the next few weeks progress, we will start to hear more and more about all this.

That would be great news. I haven’t seen the CDC’s guidance on that. Please post a link.

And they shut everything down? We all were told to wear masks? Gloves? Social distance? Quarantine? It's ridiculous to make this comparison. Ridiculous.

Gonna have to post a CDC link, or a reliable source. I haven't seen or heard any of that.

I treat the classifed email scandals of both parties equally (They were both foolish), and i'd definitely compare Russian Bounties and Begnhazi.  Also, I'd never vote for hillary.

 

Apparently you're pretty political too.  Should we ignore your opinion?

Just pointing out the hypocritical nature of basically claiming a politician is honest, faultless, and blameless. It's idiotic.

From CNN no less:

If it’s extremely rare or not passed from asymptomatic people, again what in the world are we doing?! With masks, but really just with life and sports in general? We should live life, safely and smartly as always. This fear and panic craziness is ridiculous.

22, we hashed this out in this thread weeks ago. This wasn't a CDC recommendation. This was a statement made by a WHO official, and that statement was ultimately backtracked.

Based on what I've read since that WHO statement was retracted, there has been no consensus on whether asymptomatic carriers are driving the spread. The Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences published a big study about a week ago indicating that people with COVID-19, but who do not show symptoms, may be behind the majority of infections. But there are other studies showing that either could be true. The WHO currently maintains that "the extent of truly asymptomatic infection in the community remains unknown" and that "transmission from infected people without symptoms is difficult to study." The WHO findings are certainly debatable, since a lot of the data they cite are based on studies that were done primarily in China.

Bottom line, the answer is we [still] don't know.

But the CDC has in fact adopted these protocols and guidelines. It’s not been publicized very well however. My contacts (Nurses and Health Professionals) in Alabama say they all received letters recently that says if they tested positive but are asymptomatic, they should continue with work as usual per CDC guidelines. Evidently, they feel strongly that asymptomatic people cannot spread this. Again, it’s this behind the scenes stuff from the CDC that is not publicized in the media...it’s maddening for the truth to not get out there properly and for these political games to be continuing. This is a major development, yet the media doesn’t cover it.
