I'd rather contract COVID than watch this game in person
Why does the team, which spends most every waking moment with each other, social distance from each other on the bench with masks on for two hours every 3 to 4 days? Seems like a PR move.
They're following the state and city guidelines. Seems odd to assert doing what we're all supposed to be doing is a PR move.
I mean if they were really following them would they be playing at all?
I am glad MU has not done the fake cardboard fans in the stands thing! Some schools practically have the entire lower section filled in, I mean how much money is being wasted on this????
Do they social distance and wear masks with each other at practice? At breakfast/lunch/dinner?At team meetings? At videotape meetings?Of course not. So they are all social distancing on the bench.....until the timeout....then they put their arms around each other. So, which is it? Again, seems odd.
I would imagine the answer to all of those is yes except for while eating. I see no logic in your unfounded assertions other than perhaps you choose not to mask yourself and thus assume everyone behaves as you do.
I get that because I don't understand why you'd assume they automatically have bad habits when outside public view when we see them masked and distanced for the most part on the bench.I guess we'll never know how good their compliance is, but it generally seems like the staff and members take this seriously on the sidelines and off the court (based on a lack of in-season COVID breaks) so no reason for me to assume otherwise.
I mean, in terms of viral load, it's not illogical. It isn't ideal, but with the low population in a large building like the Fiserv, you will have less spread than you do in a video meeting or smaller, more enclosed space. And it's extended time periods that are most dangerous, so while you do want to minimize contact, having a small instance of contact then going back to social distancing afterwards is a better course than having long-term instances of contact.It's not ideal, nothing about playing basketball in a pandemic is, but I think they've displayed relatively good habits thus far, and our lack of game cancellations on our own part would support that.
