Masks don’t prevent anything. Except for possible extra spread of the virus through coughing/sneezing. It doesn’t actually protect you from getting it if someone has coughed or sneezed near you. Especially since most masks are low grade and don’t prevent the virus from entering or exit. It just lowers the possibility.

On top of that everything you touch to include your mask could have the virus on it. So if you touch something touch your phone then touch your clothes, you are exposing yourself to it. On top of all of that if you aren’t wearing “Eye Protection” you are still likely to get the virus if exposed to coughs or sneezes etc. because it enters through your eyes.

So, for a healthy person there is not point in wearing a mask. It’s pretty simple.

Except to potentially protect others if you have it.

Sweden says hi.

Do they play football in Sweden?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

It ain't going no where is what you refuse to acknowledge. Do you really want to shut the world down till a vaccine is available?

THAT IS STUPID AND INSANE


Virtue signaling idiots like you make me wanna puke

Easy bro... you know there is no conclusion to this conversation. Let it burn out

Yeah...you're right.

I know everyone is fatigued with the CV-19 talk in this thread but as we do open back up we should understand the risks. I think this is worth your time to read.

Guess you missed the part where it can still get through those masks plus, the individuals who still touch their mask and touch stuff etc without washing hands. But, whatever.

 

[vols 30]

yeah, it’s sab .

I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you play, but my heart will break for you if you announce Trojan. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero.

Some quarterbacks have two year careers and make it, but the odds are against it. Look at Tee Martin, he played for two years won a National Championship at Tennessee and then couldnt make it in the NFL. He had all the tools. What was the deal? He wasnt developed enough to play at that extremely high level. Hes in coaching now and good for him. DJ Shockley decided to follow a very talented QB in David Greene to UGA. David Greene started all four years and set SEC passing records. Shockley had a senior year to show what he could do and was everything that the league was looking for at the time. A Michael Vick type guy who could throw. Shockley, despite having a very good senior year, had to wait until the 7th round before his name was called. He will be battling with a pretty good QB in John Parker Wilson for the 3rd string job. All I am saying is think.

But I watch you and I think you do what it is you do as good as its ever been done. But you need first team reps for all four years to really develop into an elite QB prospect and be ready for the NFL. Chaney put Drew Brees into the NFL and look at him now. Your skill set reminds me a lot of Brees.

I just dont want you to make a decision based on distance when it could effect your entire career your life even. Yes USC has developed great QBs, but the man who had a large part in those guys and their heismans is in Knoxville leading the Orange. We will be winning National Championships sooner or later. If you decide to be a Vol, it will be sooner. Great Recruits will follow you to Knoxville. Its a family here. And that family doesnt end with the team. We are part of one big family The Big Orange Nation. And we love our athletes, we love our coaches, but most importantly we love our Quarterbacks. Hell, I hear all the time about random vol fans on a message board that have sat down with Monte Kiffin over a beer and talked football. He loves to talk football. Hell talk you ear off, but as fans, we eat it all up!!! We love Lane Kiffin and the brass he has brought to this battle.

We are realistic though, none of us exppects to go out and dominate under Kiffins first year, but 7 wins and a decent bowl would be a great first step to greatness. Then in year two, wed have you under center and you will never experience anything else in life as great as walking to the huddle on your first play and the screams for you are so loud you cant even call the play. You are a warrior so I know youll be stone faced, but youll be smiling inside. Running through the T is something that we hold sacred here in Tennessee (Im in Nashville and yes the fans here are just as rabid and loving as the ones up in and around Knoxville.

We are really in it with two receivers that are ranked in the Rivals 250 that have all but said they want to be Vols if you are going to be their quarterback. You know who they are you talk to them all the time. Jac told me he was gonna kick your butt if you put on anything but an orange hat. (J/K On that one) Welll cry for a while, then try to understand why, and then its WTF do we do now? mode. Because without you. Its going to be hard on this great family. We will still watch your career in earnestness and wish you the very best see youre already part of our family. (some will hope that you ride the bench behind Barkley and then Ride the bench behind that 5 Star guy they signed one year behind you.) But most of us will love you and want well for you. Thats just the kind of people that live here in Tennessee. Im sure your moms family knows something about that.

The SEC is the undisputed greatest conference in the land. We just signed a $2.25 billion deal with ESPN to ensure that every single SEC conference game is broadcast on TV. You will be on TV. Scouts will see you lead us to greatness. What a story. Most guys in the business of covering college football are in bed by the time the West Coast games come on, if they are even broadcast. Thats huge.

The UT campus is nice. Knoxville is one of the greatest places on Earth to go to school. WE are all a family. I hope I see you on campus sometime so I can shake the hand of a man that is getting set to play big time NFL ball. You got it in you, bro, you just have to take advantage of all your opportunities. Work your hardest whatever it is you are doing. At Tennessee You will get first team reps your freshman year and there is a real possibility of winning that starting QB job. The longer you do it at a high level, the better your chances are for the millions that come with playing at the next level. We love you.

I piss myself laughing, everytime I see this posted.

Staying at home doesn't eliminate the virus, it's still going to be out there. Staying at home was to prevent the initial spike that would overwhelm our medical system.

we may have to do it again in fall, esp in rural areas.

this time it has to be fed or state mandating municipalities based upon real evidence of being overwhelmed.

else, its here...we deal with it.

 

[drvenner]

I said potentially, but I'm going to drop it. I don't like sniping and arguing with my friends. Bring me all the Five stars!

Will somebody put this jackass out of our misery, please?

Will perish from TDS in early November this year.

It’s cool man. Luckily my grandparents are already dead. It’s other people that will kill their’s because they can’t stand not eating at Chili’s. I’ve been out of work for two months, yet other people’s safety matters to me. At least I’m not calling myself Pro-Life then being fine with a 9/11 happening to the American people every few days. We aren’t going to agree on this so I’ll leave it.

Sorry man, but this is just a stupid post. Not because you're taking this thing seriously, but because of the irrelevant hyperbole with which you're mocking others who don't agree with you. It's as if you're trying to convince yourself.

If you're consistent with what you say, then you don't drive much and you mock others who do, because every time people get behind the wheel they risk making your 9/11 happen, excuse me, I mean they put people's lives at risk more so than going to Chili's to eat. But I doubt you do that.

Look at all the scientists so excited to kill grandma. Seriously, if you people had just stayed in your homes for a month like normal people, we’d be free now and for sure have football this fall. It’s like talking to a wall. Sorry for filling up this thread with this bs but you guys are just plain wrong about this. Instead of trying to prove the unproveable. Just admit it: You’re bored and you hate your wife

Did all the grandmas that got covid get killed by covid or just got sick and died like a normal really old person?

Also, all you need is to test positive for it after death to register as a covid casualty. Basically everyone in the nursing homes has it, so how can you trust the data as it is compiled?

 

[Volbucky]

Are you as confident as you were with Washington last cycle?

Are you as insecure as the rest of the dawgs right now?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

My wife and I both work in healthcare. Every provider or nurse i know are not wearing masks outside of work. I really don't understand why people are wearing gloves. Gloves are not preventing you from getting a virus, if anything its helping the spread.

Because its the cool thing to do right now

 

[MarcoVol]

Are you as confident as you were with Washington last cycle?

Passing a few of these out today

 

[Atlanta VOL]

Are you as confident as you were with Washington last cycle?

Well we are not contending with a crooked coach this time around...but its not for lack of UGA trying that’s for sure.

 

[JacketVol]

Do you talk to people under 10 and over 60?
Do you talk to people that have diabetes?
Do you talk to people that have upper respiratory diseases like asthma etc...?
Do you talk to people that suffer from heart disease?



The mask isn't for her. Something like 90% of people are asympotmatic. The mask is so SHE doesn't give it to someone else.

Unless it’s a n 95, it won’t work. People touch face constantly and germs are on it when they take it off, then they touch it and then fingers start touching surfaces etc. We were at Disney for 9 days and no masks. But washed our hands and used hand washes, and tried not to touch things and went thru two nasty airports including Atlanta. Docs said mask were if you were sick before but now it changes. Whose right, I don’t know. But stay your distance, wash hands a lot, cough in your arm, sneeze in a tissue, and stay home with any symptoms. Mask with they way people wear them is a false sense of hope.

The same people criticizing people not wearing masks and leaving their homes raided the grocery stores and continue today. I'm over that tired argument. Next thing you know they will criticize you for leaving your house and going to work...oh wait they do that too.

Sorry. Just tired of being let down by so called “insiders”. And as I recall there was a pretty long thread on the UF site with a guy claiming to be ATL VOL going into pretty great detail on the measures he took to convince us that he was legit. I’ll try and find it

We know you are sorry, no need to say it. Or post at all really. It’s been a long 40 years for you guys.
