Canes test positive

247 headline reported "Canes cancel workouts due to OUTBREAK".

3 PLAYERS testing positive is an OUTBREAK? Did the players even know they had it? Of the 43 Clemson players that tested positive (that's an outbreak), only 4 had mild symptoms. The other 39 didn't even know, they popped positive on their weekly mandatory tests.

Clemson did it right. At our rate we won't play till 2022. Players are gonna get. Question is when.

Entirely not true. Most people in the medical community, including myself, disagree with you.

A mask will not 100% prevent a person from getting sick or passing the virus to another, but in most cases it will lower that chances you do vs wearing nothing at all.

You could add some validity to your claim of medical credentials if you bothered to explain the different kinds of masks and if they prevent or reduce getting the virus, or passing the virus, or neither or both. I believe there is significant difference it type of masks but I will leave it to your medical expertise to shread those pearls of wisdom from your ruby lips unto the barren fields of our brains.

Why did the Surgeon General claim that masks weren't effective back in March?

You don't want a run on masks when medical facilities themselves can't get enough. My wife works in a nursing home and at that timeframe they were reusing masks because her facility couldn't get enough.

What the surgeon general should have said is make a mask out of a tshirt, or bandana because that's preferable to nothing.

And the federal government should have gotten the manufacturing straightened out. But here it is in July, and the masks I just ordered are from China and not the US.

Let’s leave the politics out of this.

First of all, I live in South Florida, and for the most part, I’m seeing compliance. I mean I am out and around in Broward and Dade quite a bit.

Secondly, the minority of people that are constantly breaking the rules are not in the current administration‘s demographic for voters. I’m not talking about one group, I’m talking about multiple demographics. This is South Florida, just on percentages alone, the majority of the people breaking the rules vote the other way.

Young people crowding in at house parties, pool parties, and hanging out close together at hangout spots, are NOT in this alleged “MAGAloid” demographic that people keep pointing the finger at it, at least not in South Florida. Let’s just be real.

That’s why it’s stupid to bring politics into this when blaming the populace. Blame the leadership all you want, but let’s be honest about what’s happening out there.

Everybody should absolutely follow the rules and wear their mask. There is no question that has to be done and to do anything else it’s just not socially responsible or acceptable.

At the same time, keep in mind, it’s not very scientific to correlate this mess to lack of mask usage. We just don’t know at this point how and why this flare up is spreading with any great degree of scientific certainty. I think a good portion of it is young people saying “fūck it“ from what I’m seeing out there. Or it just could be more increased social interactions that happened after the lockdown. But we really just don’t know yet. That is why it’s a good idea to be precautionary.

But my no means am I advocating for people not to wear masks, it only makes sense to do it, even if you think you’re just giving a marginal sense of protection to those around you.

The problem with what’s being said there is no rules mandating wearing a mask for the state. The leadership is playing politics about wearing a mask. So it does start with politics. Mandate the whole state to wearing a mask and hopefully these young people will follow the rules. We’re no different then NY, and other Countries that got a handle on the problem. It’s all becoming an excuse for not putting the onus on the real problem, and that’s the leadership at the very top of this Government.

IT'S JUST A MASK. IT'S JUST A VACCINE

“In 4 months, the U.S. transformed into an obedient socialist country. Government dictated what events are acceptable to attend. Violent protests that instill fear are OK but church services, family funerals and patriotic celebrations are dangerous. And you bought it without a fight.

Standing in a graduation line is a "safety hazard". Small businesses were forced to close but crowds to support the corporate money machine at WalMart, Lowes and Home Depot are OK.

Come on. It's "just a mask" & "safety precautions".

How about a little hush money. Here's $2,400 that we stole out of your pay check in the first place. Enjoy. Buy something with it. From a big corporation.

Cash is dirty. We can't give change. There's a coin shortage. Use your card. In 4 months, they convinced you to use a traceable card for everything.

In less than 4 months, government closed public schools then "restructured" education under the guise of "public safety". In less than 4 months, our government demonstrated how easily people assimilate to "guidelines" that have NO scientific premise whatsoever when you are fearful.

In less than 4 months, our government successfully instilled fear in a majority of the population in America that allows them to control every aspect of your life. Including what you eat, where you go, who you see and your toilet paper.

And the most dangerous and terrifying part? People are not afraid of the government who removed their freedom. They're afraid of their neighbors, family and friends.

And they hate those who won't comply.

It's absolutely terrifying to me that so many people don't question "authority". They are willing to surrender their critical thinking skills and independence. They just... gave up without thinking. Without a fight.

Do you know what's coming next?
"It's just a vaccine. Come on. It's for the greater good".

Wait until you're told that you can't enter any store or business without proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. Wait until you can't go to public events or get on a plane without proof of receiving the vaccine.

To everyone that doesn't believe this is possible - DO YOU UNDERSTAND that government successfully dictated to people WHEN they were allowed to be outside, where they were allowed to go, and how their children would be educated in less than 4 months? And that a majority of the population followed blindly because they were told to do so.

You're kidding yourself if you think this behavior won't be repeated with a vaccine. Or whatever the next step is.

"I don't follow politics."
"Who cares about that stuff?"
"I don't like to think about it."

They got you. Without a thought. Without a fight. Just like France. Just like Russia. Just like China. Welcome, comrade.”

There's an entire universe of knowledge - that hasn't been "published."

You might be familiar with a study - published! - that concluded that HCQ was a prophylactic and effective treatment for Corona viruses in an NIH study way back in I believe - 2005. Not familiar? Not a surprise.

I'd be willing to put some of what I say to the test -

One one table, we have two syringes that has a full dose of venom from one of the following - taken at random - a krait, black mamba, eastern diamondback, cobra, or fer-de-lance. No one knows WHICH venom is in both syringes.

On that table is also another two syringes - has a really full dose of venom - taken at random - from a brown recluse, black widow, scorpion, or any other toxic insect that can kill - even a potentially fatal dose of flying insect venom.

On that table are another two syringes - and in those two identical syringes - are big doses of Covid-19, MERS, SARS, West Nile, all mixed together - and to make it interesting - the polio virus. We know what's in these, and they too - are identical.

And on that table are two mushrooms in bowls of identical size - let's say - the Deathcap mushroom.

We eat the mushrooms, get our injections - and you can have all the doctors you wish to assist you. I only need an RN. Any RN.

I won't be affected. I won't lose any tissue. I won't be sick. All the toxins will be neutralized. All the viruses - nothing. They'll be destroyed.

I'll show you what modern medicine really knows.

This CV-19 is a candy-*** virus. Easily treated.

Except by our Medical Community of Experts.

It’s mind blowing how many idiots we have in this country. It’s very simple. Put on a mask and stop going out in public. Some people just can’t do the simplest things. We’ve got the potus telling people to go outside and go to Rally’s. Even with protesters I told all my friends if you go to a protest go quarantine for 2 weeks.

Americans are too arrogant and dumb to come together to beat covid. Until we get a vaccine we’re stuck. No way High school or CFB is played in 5-6 weeks. Can’t bubble high school and college kids.

Last thought, never forget 2020. Kobe died, POTUS told the American people to inject themselves with disinfectant and now we may not have football for the first time in a over a century. Worst year ever!

Hey there Karen, go wrap yourself in bubble wrap and stay in the basement the rest of your life so that you never catch a fever.

This has all been so unnecessary. Problem is, our government (federal and state) is full. of clueless a-holes worshipping a dumber than dirt a-hole of a President who doesn't give a **** about anyone but himself and his reelection. Any responsible country has already gotten control of this mess by shutting down and wearing masks.
No football this season just when we thought we had a functioning QB for the first time since 2002.

News flash. It's the president's fault there is no football. What a joke.
 
61 MILLION Americans contracted the H1N1 virus.

All the masks in the world were never going to kill this thing in our country. Too many personal freedoms. Too much selfishness. Too many opinions. Too much politics.

That being said, I haven't seen a single person in Miami not wearing their masks when appropriate. Not one. And honestly, I seriously doubt it's making a difference anyway because people really are socially distancing on top of that. That’s something never been done before in this country. Ever.

Not really sure what all the screaming and blaming is about when it comes to that.

And last but not least, there is a ton of time between now and September.

If you live in the Tri-County south Florida area there are rules and they are generally enforced, and that’s where most of the positives, hospitalizations, and deaths are. Not worried about Union County Florida just yet. Let’s talk about where it is actually happening.

Maybe that's why it's spreading!

Pre-infected masks from China - and telling everyone to wear masks . . . this is hilarious!

How can you say it's not the end of the world on one hand, and then say "wear a mask" on the other?

It is, or it isn't. It doesn't take fancy verbiage or a 5 line paragraph lol.

If I showed you a video of Fauci saying masks don't do ****, you still wouldn't believe me.

It's not the end of the world for the players, or the program. What is the end of the world is canceling the football season because tough guys like you won't try an mitigate the spread of the virus, cause you live in Merica dammit and ain't no fauci or ****i or dad gum science guy gone tell me I gotsta wear a dang mask!

I don't care what a video from Fauci says. People who are a lot smarter than you and I, who have devoted their lives to the medical profession, say wearing a mask and socially distancing helps to mitigate the spread of contagious viruses and disease. What could possibly be the harm in just trying to listen? How awful is wearing a mask and avoiding people when you can? Nobody should be shutting down the economy, that's nonsense. But just wearing a mask? You're that much of a stubborn prick that you can't just put a mask on when you go into a building/near people? It's that awful? I personally think it helps, maybe even a small amount, but it helps. But even if it doesn't, its prison torture to just do it anyway?

Some of these knuckleheads would comply if suddenly the CDC or WHO suggested a daily 5-gallon ***** would prevent this candyass virus.

Lowes and Home Depot would be out of 5-gallon buckets in two days.
