Clearly some people posting here do not have a teenager at home. These kids are done with it. Parties are happening, going to the cabin or lake, etc. All with not a mask in sight and zero social distancing. This is not about those scary hockey kids coming to your school and getting your kid sick. T...

This is a pandemic! Please look up what a pendemic is before posting on it being just the flu! The word is not used lightly and is serious. Again if you want to play hockey that’s fine but have your own school for each league and let them infect each h other and keep my kid safe! Have you guys thoug...

All research is not the same! You know that right? What is published by Mayo and scientific reports in the US have much more reliability than those published elsewhere. Then there are MDs out to make a name for themselves and make research to get there name out there. Then a tier down from there are...

Just an FYI, there is a thing called a pandemic going on! The word pandemic doesn’t get used till necessary. It might be a good time to do things a little different for a few months. Come on parents! Parents should be able to guide their kids to good decisions. Again parents should be stepping up an...

So what you guys are saying is” give me high school hockey or I’ll take my kid elsewhere”? Very mature. You guys were the kids who said I quit and took the ball home with you so no one else could play! MSHSL should not make decisions based on others decision to not follow the rules or put their kid...

Take all the kids in these leagues and make a school for each league. Let them live the risk they decided to take. The kids and families who are being smart about all this can keep their school safe. If you want to take the risk that is fine but keep the risk takers in their own school. And good luc...

Yep. From Hermanbaggers banging the 7A teams out of their players. All of 7A could use some. After a while it gets real sore!

What is this about Hermantown baggers becoming the favorite. They have and will be the favorite for next ten years with transfers and getting what they need from other associations. Nothing has or will change in 7A. Class A hockey is dead! Thanks Hermantownbaggers. Let me guess the Elite team experi...

Actually the mandate applies to all indoor activity. Hockey is a high risk activity and tge only reason you are supposed to take off your mask is when you are isolated.

I don’t see this at all as a political issue. I see this as doing what is right to keep the most safe. The science backs doing what we are doing and that is all there is to it. Do f leg politics get in the way of the right thing to do. The only people to make it a political issue are those trying to...

Exactly. And if everyone did those things for the next several weeks the sports would be on and things would start going back to normal. Herd immunity is not the solution by itself but is part of the solution.

The science is there for all who want to see it to see it.

Looks to me that two out of three graphs also support mask wearing. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/images/19-0994-F2.jpg you didn't see my post was also from CDC... which tells me you really have an agenda.... set in your opinion... https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article?fbclid=IwAR2V1hP...

Current WHO recommendations emphasize the importance of rational and appropriate use of all PPE,20 not only masks, which requires correct and rigorous behavior from health care workers, particularly in doffing procedures and hand hygiene practices.21 WHO also recommends staff training on these recom...

Droplet is caught by masks, sneezing in elbows, and Kleenex. So yes they do work when covid is called what it is. A droplet transmission...

WHO. Calls if droplet. Data says......... Modes of transmission of the COVID-19 virus Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are >5-10 μm in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are <5μm in diameter, t...

Why Does Droplet Size Matter? The human eye can only see objects as small as 40,000 nanometers (about the width of a fine human hair), but many respiratory droplets are much smaller than that. The cutoff point for calling a droplet a “droplet” is around 5,000-10,000 nanometers. Droplets smaller than...

When tested on influenza patients, surgical masks trapped 96% of droplet-associated viruses,

Research says......................

Let’s also look at the authors. Both from China. Article was written in April. How did China do during this outbreak? Healthcare workers catch it due to the excessive number of times they interact around the disease. That is a fact. The vast number of interactions and hygiene pre and post interactio...

Mayo Clinic data July 2020. More up to date than April when “research” done for article.

They state there are major knowledge gaps to contend with. And they need more data on sizes of droplets etc. Face mask There are major gaps in our knowledge of the mechanisms of person-to-person transmission of influenza, including the importance of transmission through droplets of different sizes i...

Looks to me that two out of three graphs support hand hygiene.

However, as with hand hygiene, face masks might be able to reduce the transmission of other infections and therefore have value in an influenza pandemic when healthcare resources are stretched.

This just admits there is benefit!
