Nebraska Announces Face Covering Policy For Home Athletics Events

Well the fact is that it's due to the substantial spike in covid cases in Lancaster County over the last few weeks.

Here are some more facts:

Hospitalizations for COVID-19 positive patients: 75 with 55 from Lancaster County (7 on ventilators) and 20 from other communities (5 on ventilators)


Looks like either you or your source are full of shit. Lol
Thanks Garth.
 
Ok, the mask is a mitigating measure to slow the spread of the virus. The viral particles attach to larger particles in your nose and mouth, usually saliva. The masks limit the distance that the particles coming out of your nose and mouth are able to travel. And the masks stop like they did last time, when the mandate expires on September 30th, unless cases and hospitalizations are still high. Then it gets extended, probably another 2 weeks or a month. Does that answer your question?

Slow the spread for what? Before it was until the vax

Yea and that was assuming more people would get vaccinated. But then you had people spreading false information about the vaccines and a ton of people refuse to get vaccinated. Send you thank you cards to those folks.

The vaccinated can still get it and spread it. "slow the spread" is just shitty marketing.

Yea but statistically speaking they're less likely to get it and shed less than unvaccinated folks. So that would go towards slowing the spread, no?

The vaccine isn’t approved and you got it. That’s damn funny. How’s it feel to be a lab rat?
 
Riddle me this - why do they have to stick a swab up to your brain if it’s in your saliva? This is all so comical and political

Great point tone, they should come up with some sort of test where they can test your saliva.

Link?

That's a hypothesis right now, but studies are just beginning to come out that challenge that.

Making an assumption that the rich and powerful donors from the state of Nebraska are hard right is not hardly assumption. I'll concede that painting them as 'nut jobs' was a bit over the line. I'll give you four of the largest and you tell me if they're hard right. Ricketts. Hawks. Whitney. Peed.

Assuming that they'll pull their money, I'd say most is closer to reality than none. Depends on how strict they are.

I'm casting them in a negative light because, in my opinion, asking the schools/archdiocese to choose between enormous amounts of money that will do a lot of good for children and the church as a whole and doing what the schools think is best for the kids is a shitty thing to do. They're obviously free to do whatever they want with their money. But holding money over the heads of the schools/churches and telling them to dance ain't very christlike.

And as for your 'personal freedoms' line, gimme a break. People give up their 'personal freedoms' every day in this country because of what the government requires. And now all of a sudden wearing a mask is a bridge too far for these people? Laughable. Nobody wants to wear a damn mask.

I can only assume that reading comprehension is difficult for you. Here is what I posted:

  1. Making an assumption that "Most of the biggest donors are hard right nut jobs" without any factual basis behind this. It may be true that most of the biggest donors tend to be Conservative in nature, but that doesn't make them "hard right nut jobs". Note that no where do I say that it's an assumption to call the biggest donors right wing. In fact, I conceded that most of the biggest donors tend to be Conservative in nature. I stated that just because they are Conservative in nature, doesn't make them "hard right nut jobs". It looks like you conceded that painting them as "nut jobs" was over the line, so we'll just go ahead and put this point in the win column for me.
  2. Making an assumption that said donors will "pull their money if they have to wear masks" without any factual basis behind this. While there may be one or two donors that possibly might hold this opinion, you've generalized this to be "most", which is factually incorrect and irresponsible. You respond to this without giving any factual information backing up your opinion that MOST donors will "pull their money if they have to wear masks". Once again, a generalization using the word MOST when in reality, it could be 0, 1, or more...
  3. Lastly, you cast the Owners of a fairly large company in Lincoln in a negative light because they have/may (sounds like you don't know for sure and are just using conjecture once again) withhold their donations to the Catholic Schools and the Archdiocese of Lincoln if a decision about mask wearing is made that doesn't line up with their belief. Last I checked, their money is their money and they can do with it what they want. I don't begrudge someone that doesn't want to patron a business that may not hold the same beliefs/values as that person. Here you concede that "they are obviously free to do whatever they want with their money", yet when they do that and their reasoning/belief doesn't match up to yours, then you cast them in a negative light? Which is it? Are they free to do what they want with their money or are they only free to do what they want with their money as long as you agree with it?
The last thing I wrote was this:

Do I agree with mask mandates? No. Did I wear one today when I went to the store? Yes. Did I bitch/moan to anyone that would listen that I had to wear one? No. You respond with some diatribe regarding "personal freedoms". There's not one mention of personal freedoms in my response to you, yet here you go again with generalizations or something that is non-substanitive.

You claim that you want to have fact-based discussions/debates, yet the majority of what you post is simply your opinion with little to no fact to back it up.

I can tell you unequivocally that the numbers in this report are not factually correct. The person that confirmed that for me is in a Senior Position with the LLCHD and is most definitely not full of shit. The exact words that this person used were, "they are getting fast and loose with definitions of "from Lancaster County" in order to help support the Mayor's stance on COVID.

You can choose to believe it or not, that's fine with me, but this person is definitely not full of shit and neither am I.

So you're saying that a senior ranking member of the health department admitted to you that they are fudging the numbers in their official reports?
