Honestly, I cannot wear a mask while doing sports due to my asthma, It's a 50/50 on whether one should wear one or not, we are not required to wear them in Wisconsin. Also keep in mind the spikes in cases are due to more testing.

Um, no. The spikes in cases are primarily NOT due to more testing.

The way you can tell is by looking at the percent positive tests. For example, Wisconsin testing rates have not increased since early June, but positive tests have been creeping up from around 3% (with 200 - 300 new cases per day) to around 4% (with ~450 positive tests per day).

Other states such as Florida have much more dramatic increases, with positive tests rising from 2-3% (700 - 800 positive tests per day) to 12% to 14% (5,000+ positive tests per day). :eek:

In constrast, Maryland has managed to decrease positive test numbers and percentages while the number of tests has increased.

You are probably aware that "Having moderate-to-severe asthma may increase your risk for severe illness from COVID-19." (CDC). Protect yourself and others, young Wolfy. :)

Florida is so completely boned.

Florida literally sticks out from the rest of the country in every conceivable way.

Or, more simply, when my state has increased testing by 20%, but increased cases by 400%, it's clearly not the testing.

Nicely put, even though "nicing" your post feels wrong. :rolleyes:

If participating in most outdoor sports, you probably don't need to wear a mask. If you are participating in an indoor sport, you probably should not be participating. I see pretty much anything indoors with more than a few folks around, as a risk. Again....not always a risk to me, but those I love.

Yes...and yes.

I am still amazed by the number of people who are trying to argue against wearing masks, social distancing, etc. I mean seriously. The rest of the world has mostly figured out how to keep this thing under control, but we're over here like petulant 4 year olds saying "you can't make me to do it because I don't wanna"

Go to bed, troll cosplaying as teenage kid.

I'm running out of places to hide from people that want to shake my hand. We have players coming in from all over the country to play Highbridge Hills and I'm getting nervous about someone either infecting me or creating a covid hotspot that will get us shut down. I very much appreciate their thanks and support but I just wish they would practice social distancing and think before sticking their hand out.
