(7,611 posts)Statistics. But I do like to read and I do try to figure what we really know about Covid. The Provincetown study is a good time example. Many people, even scientists, are now stating that the study proves that vaccinated people can infect others with Covid. It does not do that. It offers a little evidence that may or may not support that theory. There are ongoing studies supposed to be ready by the end of the year that will establish whether vaccinated people actually do spread the disease. We will see.
Whether or not it is safe outside even in crowds is a real question. If everyone were to stay at home and lock the doors would have real consequences to the economy. It would send us towards another great recession or worse. It would also have disastrous social consequences for young people. That's no way for them to live if in fact it is safe to congregate outside. It isn't virtuous to stay isolated if in fact it is safe to get outside and socialize. There is accumulating evidence that it is, and virtually no evidence that it isn't. It is hard to track down how and where someone gets infected. But all the crowd gatherings are showing us something.
Am I right in thinking that you are one person who agrees baseball is safe? Anyway I appreciate your engaging me in the discussion. Mostly I just get ignored.
