Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

That doesn't sound like a good idea.

First of all, when you play you sweat and your mask can get wet/saturated with perspiration...
this reduces the effectiveness of the mask - maybe even making it worthless.

Secondly, wearing a mask during such an activity reduced your ability to breathe and
take in oxygen properly which can't be good for your health.


@friscostylez

For me, the mask impeded my peripheral vision, which led to some embarrassingly bad passes. But that could also be because it was my one time playing in the past year.

This is roughly one out of six.

With each week, this number should go up by 2-3%, meaning that by the end of March we'll be at about 25-30% with at least partial immunity from vaccines. Combine that with the ~25-30% of people who have some immunity from a prior infection, and we're at something like 40-50% total (accounting for those who had covid-19 and got the vaccine). This virus is quickly running out of hosts to infect.

Anyone had it twice already?

Just had it for second time, had a headache for 1-2 days and that was it

That was your immune system recognizing the virus and defeating it.

That was probably rust or you washed, or both. Im in the same boat.

I want to blame the rust but if we're being honest, I'm washed

Anyone else who had it have a lingering dry cough for a while? Almost 4 weeks since I tested positive (symptoms were fever 1 day, fatigue for a few days and that's pretty much it) last few days been dry coughing randomly and it's annoying as hell

Ive had a lingering cough/stuffy nose all winter.

I’ll be full dosed on the 22nd of March. My wife is pregnant and as of now is electing not to
Get it since there is sparce data on pregnant woman getting it. Although woman who have got it havent had any issues. So even after I get fully doses, im have to be careful around her, cause fully vaccinated ppl can still spread it but chances are much mess likely

My brother has had a cough for 2 months since testing positive. Lungs are probably scarred.

If you don’t have difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, try taking a Claritin or Zyrtec in the morning. Usually works on dry coughs that aren’t virus (colds) related.

Would u guys chance it by hooping with a mask on??

I haven't played any pickup or touched a basketball in over a year. Has to be some type of record, but nah I wouldn't risk it.

Both parents had tested positive for COVID, and were quarantined in the basement of their home when they were found dead.

Totally agree that now is too early to start reopening and letting down our guard. It's time to double down on mitigation and vaccination efforts in order to bring the numbers as low as possible and give the vaccines a chance to win. People are short sighted though.

Going to get tested later. Cant tell if it’s spring allergies or corona

What are your symptoms? Undue fatigue, and loss of smell would be most obvious differences between allergies and covid IMO.

im not tired, it’s all in my head. Just a cough and some congestion.

I can smell but it’s not 100%.

Do you usually get congested like this in Spring? Hoping it's just allergies.

yeah like clockwork.

thanks bro, I’m not worried about it tbh. I just don’t want to be a super spreader if I have it and I’ve been around a few people who have it.

this is the type of large scale collaboration that was ASSUMED during civilization-level threats, total war, pandemics, natural disasters.

the fact that this is big news (and a full year into the crisis!) shows how me flaccid and weak the structure of our society really is.
