Is that now going to be played at Walsh due to the upcoming lockdown in Newark?
 
Playing the #2 team in the nation on national TV and going against the cities recommendations are not a good look for either party, even if it's not a mandated rule right now. The other issue I read was the nighttime curfew that could possibly effect some games.
 
If we tell people to shower with them so they can scream about that being the overreach, will they then find it more reasonable to wear them out in public?

If so, then Yes! Please start wearing masks in the shower.

There's this narrative about people not wearing masks in public en masse that I have yet to actually see in public.

Nj has been very good about masks since the beginning. I think the problem is elsewhere.

Yep.


You can pretty much point to where the outbreaks are worse by looking at what percentage of the population is wearing a mask in public.

Damn shame it was politicized so much.

Absolutely. NJ’s have been great overall, IMO. Don’t seem to see this as some underlying super threatening attack on civil liberties, rather a good, common sense thing to do. Is it 100% no, nothing is, not even N95 (hence the 95) - but it offers some resistance to large viral load clusters.
 
Ok, so NJ has the highest death rate in the country but they have been very good about masks from the beginning.

NJ has seen a massive spike in cases & hospitalizations yet they have been very good about masks from the beginning.

NJ is #1 state in population density via latest numbers 13th most cases, 5th most deaths

Please move this post to LOTS. This isn't about the Baylor game. I just want to read about college basketball on this thread. Thank you

March and April were a disaster here as the first ones hit by an unknown virus. For the most densely-populated state to crush the curve is a good job. Other states are the inverse of this. Now just have to remain vigilant and not act like it’s past.

 
Yep.

Look at the states with the highest death rates....

Well NJ is top by population density so deaths by 1m prorated is gonna be high and NJ caught the original outbreak just like NY because of NYC and westchester county

If you want to ignore the facts of how this all started and how the first states didn't have adequate time to prepare and react... sure. But we are 9 months into this now and how a much better understanding in how to prevent transmission. There were about 12 thousands deaths in NJ when people were arguing here if the virus was airborne or not.

Deaths per million in the last month for example - South Dakota is leading the country. NJ is 41st.
Last 2 months - North Dakota is first, South Dakota 2nd, NJ 43rd. Last 3 months - North Dakota is first, South Dakota 2nd, NJ 48th.

The data has been very clear. The answer has been to test a lot, when you start to see the positivity rate increase, that is a sign of community spread. When that hits a certain threshold, there should be public measures in place to slow it back down.

Ignoring that this started before we had any testing capacity in NJ and NY is frankly just intellectually dishonest.

Your last sentence is critical to understanding where we’re at-although you didn’t need the word intellectually

Like masks, shame the Covid stats were/are used as a political weapon. 200 million deaths lol
 
The Dakotas as of a few days ago have the highest positivity rate per capita in the world.

And the bad boy snowblowers crossover even will have live attendance at a reduced capacity, most of the original field not attending by either pause due to program positives or an opt out

My point is that we shouldn’t be lecturing other states when a lot of poor decisions early on led NJ to have the highest death rates. Masks wearing is obviously good common sense in settings where there is closer contact.

Like when you’re on a stage by yourself 150 feet from people lol

Like anything else, we learn as we go. Every state facing issues now had months and months of data to plan for what happens if the virus starts spreading in their state.

Like I said, it’s not a surprise that right now the areas being hardest hit are areas where mask wearing is less prevalent.
And yes, we should expect them to learn from the errors in other states.
