The COVID19 SCAMdemic... Economy So Strong That eBay Hard Up For Business

I'd guess his team is vaccinated and/or tested, so he wouldn't really need a mask.

Mask in a room full of people seems reasonable.

I'm still not dining indoors, too many unvaccinated people.

It's become pretty clear that this virus is respiratory transmitted, not surface transmitted, so disinfecting surfaces and the handwashing is performative at this point when it comes to Covid 19, but always a good idea from a general hygiene perspective.

Yeah, never quite understood that one. It's not like there's a force field around my seat, keeping the stank in.

The other one that got me was watching hockey last year, coaches with masks on that kept pulling them down to yell at their players...

 

[anotero]

You got me. It makes about as much sense as people who wear a mask to enter a restaurant, then take it off for two hours to eat.

How you gonna eat through a mask?

That's just it. If he's vaccinated, then he shouldn't need a mask. Unless the vaccine doesn't protect you.

I agree, that's why I said it wasn't about Hamilton. I didn't mean to sound like I'm criticizing him, I'm criticizing the FIA for making the mask mandatory. Congrats to Lewis for 100 GP wins, it's quite an achievement. It was undermined a little, I think, because a lot of fans were disappointed by the result Lando ended up with. Fantastic season, though.

This season is the best in a very long time. So many surprises and the tightest championship since 2016, but that was between a single team's drivers. Tightest since 2012 if we're talking about different teams' drivers. Very refreshing season.

I think the FIA is doing what any large, highly visible organization would do. Are masks the single lynchpin keeping everyone involved in F1 from catching COVID? Absolutely not, and there have already been a handful of cases among the teams, and even among drivers. Hamilton, Räikkönen, Gasly, Perez, Norris, Leclerc and Stroll have all recovered from COVID. Toto Wolff even got COVID. But are they hurting anything? Also no.

I've been to places that say you gotta put your mask back on between bites or sips.

Yeah no, I'll just eat outside.

That's asinine. No one has ever claimed any of the vaccines are 100% effective, even before the delta variant.

You not understand vaccines doesn't give you the right to spew logical fallacies like they're cool.

And you don't understand masks, or sentences, apparently. According to the CDC, masks might protect other people if you have the virus, and might protect the wearer. They are also, according to the CDC, not a replacement for social distancing. So again, if Lewis and his team are vaccinated, who are they protecting each other from?

I think that he may have simply forgotten, in the moment. Hamilton had a very low chance of winning that race all the way until the final few laps. Couple that with the fact that his win yesterday meant he now is the first F1 driver in history to reach 100 victories. Really big win for him.

I'm not disagreeing with your criticism of "what is the point of the mask, then?". Just offering insight as to why putting a mask on wasn't the first thing on Hamilton's mind. Big emotions and lots of adrenaline with that win -- it was far from easy for him.

That’s certainly believable.

Re: the point of the mask…could be something along the lines outlined below, and the massive investment the teams make in their drivers…and the investment the “pay-to-play” drivers (or Daddies) make in their teams (I’m looking at you, Nikita MazeSpin):

• The risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection in fully vaccinated people cannot be completely eliminated as long as there is continued community transmission of the virus. Early data suggest infections in fully vaccinated persons are more commonly observed with the Delta variant than with other SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, data show fully vaccinated persons are less likely than unvaccinated persons to acquire SARS-CoV-2, and infections with the Delta variant in fully vaccinated persons are associated with less severe clinical outcomes. Infections with the Delta variant in vaccinated persons potentially have reduced transmissibility than infections in unvaccinated persons, although additional studies are needed.

You're talking in circles like Unreal1 again.

Vaccines aren't 100% effective. Masks aren't 100% effective. Social distancing isn't 100% effective.

You're playing the "If something isn't 100% effective, why do it" game.

That's a logical fallacy. It's about reducing transmission, to stop the spread.

My wife and are vaccinated and hang out with another couple that's vaccinated without masks. There is still a risk, but it's not high. Walking into a grocery store, we wear masks to reduce the possibility of catching covid, by reducing viral load, and reduce the chances of giving it to someone else if I have an asymptomatic case.

Outdoors, we keep 6 feet from other people.

Methods for reducing transmission can vary depending on the situation.

I get the restaurant example, either don't go, or stop the performative nonsense, I choose not to go.

The rest of you F1 rant was nonsense though.

How is this woman even a lawyer? She just openly admitted to conspiracy against the United States and implicated two US congressman.

Woah. I thought everyone stopped dining out bc they became master chefs last year.

 

[zrickety]

I only have one MBA. I have two Master's Degrees. That said, a 6th grader could figure out that if 50% of the US in vaccinated and over 95% of people in the hospital for COVID are unvaccinated... that it would suggest that the vaccine works. I'm not sure where you got your degree at, tho... maybe Trump University? The university where a "BS Degree" means something else entirely...

Get your booster and you'll probably be dead by Christmas. That's what's happened in Israel.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

The 'vaccinated' are most afraid of the virus. Wonder why that is?
