Masks are here for the long term so it's hardly surprising that multinational sports corporations are getting into the game. You can get some very fashion-conscious looks from several sources.

Not sure how I feel about advertising on health/medical equipment etc that is to prevent death. Then again,not a fan of that ugly chicken on the Laval Rockets either.

Dude, it's important to maintain looks, even through a pandemic.

Who are you talking to?

Sorry, couldn't resist, love Taxi Driver.

I'd rather see some sort of message on it-

I mean....what?

I think you’re a bit naive.

 

[waffledave]

I don’t see what’s stopping them.

Start with the fact that not only are they lacking any semblance of leadership, but they have a leader who is hell bent on ruining the country and letting covid spread on purpose.

Is that the guy who never sang in his whole life?

Yep , that's the guy , he was doing lip sync and if my memory serves me right i believe it's his manager who sang the songs

114 cases...here we go

 

[cajmonkey]

People freaking out about new cases...

Pretty much veryone is going to get covid eventually. The more testing that's done, the more cases we count. Really basic stuff.

What matters is the death toll.

Cases going up while death rate stays the same or drops is good news.

If vanity or high fashion masks get more people to wear them, then I'm all for them.

And hospitalizations and ICU going down is another positive. Because if a second wave does come in, at least there is room in the hospitals for those who would need it.

 

[Runner77]

The crisis is evidently being exacerbated by exceedingly partisan leadership that is hell-bent on denying science. The countries that softened the curve all did it by empowering their medical experts. For some States, it would appear that it's still not an option they want to fully commit to.

Yup.

I don't care if a million more cases are registered tomorrow alone, if no one is experiencing severe symptoms that require hospitalization. All it would mean is that we did a bunch of testing.

Completely agreed. For a country that touts itself as the greatest in the world and most advanced, this makes them look anything but.

114 cases...here we go

114 new cases is 90% less than the peak or mid-April. People need to relax. There will be a spike but as long as it’s managed and hospitals aren’t crowded, we will be fine.

 

[Harry22]

Also keep in mind that the number of tests has gone up by 80% in the last couple of days so it is normal for cases to go up.

 

[Runner77]

I'd go with this.

Starting a post season in the middle of a pandemic? No thanks.

 

[Runner77]

Completely agreed. For a country that touts itself as the greatest in the world and most advanced, this makes them look anything but.

Ironically, the US (Federal govt and several States) is adopting a position that completely goes against what their experts have traditionally counseled other countries to do during virus outbreaks. The worldwide leaders in mismanaging the pandemic are the US and Brazil.

Well, here's to maintaining looks because honestly, I don't think that pandemics are going anywhere for a while.
