So sad. He's 27.

Hopefully he recovers and can pitch again.

I don't think baseball season is going to last much longer.

If the covidiots would just wear masks so we can be done with this.

Earlier this week, the Boston Red Sox shut down left-handed pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez's throwing program after discovering health complications stemming from his bout with COVID-19. On Sunday, Rodriguez confirmed a report from WEEI's Rob Bradford that his "complication" is myocarditis, or "an inflammation of the heart muscle," per the Mayo Clinic.

 

I am so proud of your restraint from blaming Trump.

 

WTF?

Please show me where, since March, I've placed any blame on Trump in any thread. When you come up empty, I'll point you to dozens of threads where I'm chastising people for blaming him.

Do you even try to familiarize yourself remotely with people before you accuse them of things?

Sad. Really, really sad.

I'm sure you have other people to blindly accuse of wronging you. Run away, now.

 

Show you where you blame Trump and then tell me to go away...lol.

 

Find it and come back. I know how I think. You won't find it.

 

If the Covidiots had just let this run its course, we'd be done with this by now.

So sad they felt the sociopathic need to burn society to the ground because Trump.

Covidiots: More dangerous than Nazis

 

Did Eduardo wear a mask?

 

I don't know. Can you explain the relevance, since masks don't prevent you from getting COVID?

 

Nah. That's a very extreme position. Not fond of science? Yes. 100%. "muh freedom," isn't Nazi-like; it's just a selfish way to go through life.

 

So if we all wore mask it would go extinct? No, we would all need to quarantine in place for longer than the incubation, world wide (assuming some bio lab is not harboring and cultivating it). No one needs to be a maskhole

 

Ah, you are one of the science deniers.

So all the talk from maskers about Gohmert, Herman Cain, and this jewel...

...getting C19 because they didn’t wear masks is just BS?

 

The only ones being idiots here are the people that keep their heads down, and follow such fallacious orders

Others or myself have told you before that masks or no masks, people are going to get infected. Masks are not going to solve this issue. Vaccines will, and only will. The best course of action for our govt would be to hand over full responsibility to the citizens like Sweden did. Actually act sensibly. It’s been explained to you time and time before that wearing the mask isn’t the issue, the idea someone is trying to control your private life is the issue.

Hopefully this gentleman will recover. But not make the mistake of falling into the wrong line of thinking as governors have. Ones character is revealed when they blindly follow the pack, or decide to fend for themselves—and ultimately others freedom.

 

We are putting too much faith in masks, which when you add that to a nation quickly becoming a police state, that makes up for a terrible combination. I’ve been yelled at, yelled back, threatened to have the cops come by Karen’s, all Americans would like is to mind our business, get groceries, mask or no mask, but the mask pushers are the cause of hysteria in this country.

We are simply the resistance you put on us.

 

Masks help reduce the viral load. Do you understand what that means?

Sigh.

 

Reduction is not a solution in of itself. Nor is it a excuse for a authoritative government.

Do you understand the implications of such a government?

 

I'm no fan of government, but people are complaining that their local insert private owned business here is requiring masks. They are being jerks about it; harassing store owners and causing problems for people who accept that masks are similar to shirts & shoes.

You are free to not go to a government building, so you don't have to follow their rules, but do show respect for business owners who understand the point of masks, even if you don't.

 

1) We are putting too much faith in masks. Their use makes people feel safe so they engage in riskier behavior than they would otherwise.
2) Masks are mandatory where least effective and discouraged where most effective.
3) Worn correctly masks can reduce the spread of infections.
4) Freedom cuts both ways. Property owners have the right to say what goes on in their business. They also have the right to make stupid decisions and tick off customers.
5) I would never tell anyone not to wear a mask.
6) Outside of special cases on this forum in the interest of pointing out hypocrisy and lack of critical thought, I would never tell someone to wear a mask. In no case would I ever use physical force, economic pressures, or threat of hunger/privation to compel anyone to wear a mask. Nor would I condone others doing so.

 

Describe, in detail, which masks will protect against a virus. Be specific.

 

Man6 requir3 masks because they were forced to do so.

 

(IL) Our Governor has mandated masks and all businesses in my area have signs up that it's required per the Governor. I haven't seen anyone without a mask in any public place I've been. I went to get a link to it but this is more interesting as it just happened today.

Summary: IL Governor is considering fining people for not wearing masks.

 

The generic masks people are wearing do not prevent you from the virus. If you don't yet understand why we're wearing masks, then please stop pretending to have an informed ed opinion on it.

 

It's a shame, really. Nobody was wearing seat belts at one point. It was causing all of our insurance premiums to go up, because so many people were being mutilated, causing astronomical health care payouts.

Now, nobody complains about seat belts, because, DUH, while your risk of serious injury is not gone by wearing a seat belt, it is dramatically reduced.

I'm not sure why Americans need to be led to doing the right thing. It should be easy. What does the science say? Do scientists agree? Will it help?

These are the questions to ask - not "what does my team's talking memo say I should do?"

Blech.

 

I agree with you. I really think it's a matter of normalcy bias. People don't want to accept there is a worldwide pandemic and people; many, many people are dying. It's just easier to go on thinking "everything will be okay" despite the evidence around them.

I also believe some of it has to do with the privileges of living in a 1st world country. Comparatively, we live in one of the best countries in the world and that causes people to expect all the rights and privileges they have solely based on their citizenship. We've had them since the day we were born and have no real basis by which to compare it. Some take it as a personal affront to be asked to wear a mask and socially distance. Some take it as a prelude to all kinds of things down a slippery slope of supposed loss of "rights".

Basically, we've become so divided (not just along political lines) that most cannot muster the energy to even think about others or the greater good. I am old enough to remember when that wasn't the case. Yes, we've advanced in many ways but we've also regressed in many ways that are very important. We see this in these last few generations brimming with total apathy coupled with self-righteousness. Tragic. Even more so because it does NOT have to be this way.

 

Then why would you make the exception for your governor if you truly believe in #6? We have downgraded our countries credit rating and are spiraling into a depression, just so a few can feel safer?

Sweden didn’t get everything right, but they weren’t stupid enough to lock down, and shoot their economy in the head like the US has. We are now witnessing the bleeding by doing so.

 

Masks are not on the same level as seat belts. Probably the only type of mask to come close is an oxygen mask in a plane. Otherwise, we might as well make that same comparison about Halloween masks. See how ridiculous that sounds? That’s how ridiculous it is to try comparing masks to seatbelts, because they are not actual safety devices.

You continue to forget what makes America unique. Choice. You can recommend wearing a mask, Fauci can try recommending a mask, but when you try forcing me to comply with your beliefs, that’s where the line is crossed.

Really, masks have nothing in common with seatbelts. That apples to oranges comparison is one of the worst by far.
