A few weeks ago, I was with a group picking up trash at a local park. We were surprised to see a youth baseball tournament being played with a bunch of parents in attendance. Nobody was wearing a mask.

Not really. Ignore the politicians completely. Take the words of the scientists that have political bosses with big grains of salt. Listen carefully to the scientists that have no dogs in political fights, even if they get the details wrong now and then and even if they are not quite 100% consistent (particularly as more scientific information is developed over time).

Then do the best you can, exercising considered judgment while avoiding reliance upon information from obvious outliers (a/k/a quacks).

I come up with the following, the best I can do with what I understand today:

1. Big outdoor gathering on a windy day-- wear a mask but stay away if immune-compromised, elderly, diabetic, hypertensive, obese, etc. Football game on a windy day-- likely a relatively small novel virus infection risk for fans in stands. Calm day-- likely a good day for everyone to stay home. This suggestion may be revisited, one way or the other, as scientists learn more about the COVID situation in Flori-duh and as that situation develops.

2. Avoid personal contact. That makes playing football as we know it impossible. So kiss the football season goodby unless you want to watch replays with other fans on jumbotrons.

3. Avoid large, crowded indoor gatherings, particularly ones with people speaking loudly or otherwise breathing vigorously unless you are wearing a sealed spacesuit.

4. Wear masks in public. If it helps even a little, any help is a good return on a very small investment.

5. Buy lots of life insurance and long-term disability insurance (without waiting periods before coverage kicks in, or contractual trap doors if a claim involves a novel virus illness), if disregarding suggestions 1, 2, or 3 is something you must do.

Covid hospitalizations is the primary constant, no political influence there... unless you're Florida, where recently #s had been suppressed... with the exception of Dade County, who have been transparent all along.
