[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should be worn when social distancing cannot be consistently maintained (games, scrimmages, other drills). If they are doing fitness or passing 6 feet apart, they do not need the masks. [/quote]

Except In VA.  What is the point of requiring masks on the bench, etc if they don’t need them in the game.  They will all be exposed during play so what is the point of requiring them any other time? Just for looks?[/quote]

This is how I feel about indoor dining. Is wearing my mask for 35 seconds before I sit down really going to make a difference?[/quote]

Of course not.  Wearing masks is just as likely to be counterproductive as productive - period.

It's a peculiar combination of virtue signaling and superstition like just about everything seems to be these days.   There's no evidence that it slows the spread of covid - and worse, if it actually did slow the spread, that might actually result in more people dying.

Still we all go round wearing them just like people in previous centuries hung garlic on their doors to keep vampires away, or whistled for the wind, or danced for the rain.  There's no hope for mankind :-(.[/quote]

gtfo.  no evidence that is slows the spread? lol. [/quote]

Yep.  Zero evidence.  From the CDC web-site:

"In our systematic review, we identified 10 RCTs that reported estimates of the effectiveness of face masks in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the community from literature published during 1946–July 27, 2018. In pooled analysis, [b]we found no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks[/b] (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.51–1.20; I2 = 30%, p = 0.25) (Figure 2). One study evaluated the use of masks among pilgrims from Australia during the Hajj pilgrimage and reported no major difference in the risk for laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infection in the control or mask group (33). Two studies in university settings assessed the effectiveness of face masks for primary protection by monitoring the incidence of laboratory-confirmed influenza among student hall residents for 5 months (9,10). The overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies (9,10). Study designs in the 7 household studies were slightly different: 1 study provided face masks and P2 respirators for household contacts only (34), another study evaluated face mask use as a source control for infected persons only (35), and the remaining studies provided masks for the infected persons as well as their close contacts (11–13,15,17). None of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group (11–13,15,17,34,35). Most studies were underpowered because of limited sample size, and some studies also reported suboptimal adherence in the face mask group."
