speaking of masks

A GC I am working with in Houston says that OSHA is not happy with their masks because they are not designed for environments where people might sweat.  So construction guys are being advised that their masks are bad when they get wet from sweat as the virus "sticks" to it?  Really damned if you do and damned if you don't.  They said that the bandana type things are the worst, do not use.  At least that is what they are telling the construction crews.

He had one team where 16 guys tested positive but only 3 had any symptoms at all.

That’s a tough situation. Working in 90+ degree heat with a mask can’t be easy.

This is why until a quicker, cheaper and widely available antibody test becomes available, we won't have any clue to how many people have had this.  Even then it will only be an educated guess.  Still only 2.2 million people nationwide have tested positive.  Yes, I said ONLY because that's not how many people who have contracted this disease. It's honestly some figure with a multiplier higher than that.

The 13 of the 16 that were asymptomatic is right in line with the high end of the conclusions of studies conducted I've seen highlighted in a couple articles being as high as 80%. I'm assuming since we are talking about construction workers, these people are younger and fairly healthy men.  So that is not surprising at all.

If this is coming from somebody in the know that's one thing. It certainly sounds like some assumptions and bs though.

I’m in Toyota dealership and almost no one is wearing a mask but people good 6 feet away from each other.

I've visited a handful of dealerships the past several week. Most everyone I've seen is wearing a mask and they had masks for customers at the door if needed.

Not a single employee is wearing a mask and no one offered me anything :(

I'm in the Winston area. People up here have been surprisingly pretty good about wearing masks. Unfortunately some areas have different demographics and have started a war on common sense.

Yeah I went to Hendrick Honda of Concord about two weeks ago and not a single employee was wearing a mask, no sanitizer out for us to use, and maybe 1 out of 10 customers were wearing a mask. 
 

I was the odd ball in a mask and ended up sitting outside just because I didn’t want to sit in their waiting room with no care to distancing or masks

Was on a Zoom call this morning and one of the guys said he found out he had it by chance as he was taking another CYA test for the virus and the doc told him he was positive.

He said the only thing he has experienced is a loss of smell and taste to an extent.

Can you imagine trying to run a construction crew and the Feds, Mayor, Gov, CDC and OSHA all singing from a different sheet of music?

      I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By TD alt · Posted

      For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
