Some interesting facts, according to a study at Dow University, between two people engaged in conversation at 6 ft. apart.

1. A carrier not wearing a mask has a 70 % probability to infect another healthy person who is not wearing a mask while engaging in conversation.
2. A carrier wearing a mask has a 5% probability to infect a healthy person who is not wearing a mask while engaged in conversation.
3. A carrier wearing a mask has a 1.5% probability to infect a healthy person who is wearing a mask while engaged in conversation.

Would anyone like to take a guess as to what % of those 23 Clemson ballers were conscientious about wearing a mask and social distancing?

Stopping this virus is not difficult, but there are just too many nimrods who believe that freedom and individual rights are more important to protect than the lives of their fellow citizens...until they are on a ventilator in an ICU with a probability of dying at more than 50%. You can't fix stupid and our country seems to create more stupidly arrogant fools than most any country on earth. We also create some pretty courageous and intellectually sound humanitarian thinkers too......unfortunately, some of our country's decision makers are not part of that group. But, for the sake of college football, let's hope those making decisions that may forever affect the lives of these kids and their families are part of the latter group. May they find a way to play the season without the virus running rampant through the ranks.

One of the great and debatable questions of our time which is created by that fact that so many young people are asymptomatic is "does a person carrying the virus have the right to infect another healthy person by not wearing a mask in public?" Common sense and morality seem to dictate an unequivocal "NO", but we seem to cringe at the thought of how a shrewd barrister can spin that into a deadly "absolutely". What is sad is that this question is debatable.
