Does Viejas still sell those oversized bags of popcorn? Anyone know how much they cost? So your solution to COVID protocols is obesity? That'll show 'em. Just following the rules! Popcorn at one kernel a bite won’t make me fat. The beer might, but that was happening either way. |

You must enjoy finding the negative aspect about things. A mask is a minor inconvenience. It does not hurt. You’ll be fine, I promise. What is negative about what I asked?! In fact, I found the positive aspect in that I don’t have to wear a mask as long as I’m eating or drinking - that’s better than the alternative!! And honestly I won’t have to worry much about the mask, since I’ll be eating or drinking the whole time… so, agree with you. My question really was just about the most strategic foods to purchase. “how militant the underpaid, overworked security guards are”. Yep sounds positive. |

Yes, I am not very positive on the labor market right now lol. Have you heard? It’s in bad shape. Lot of lower wage workers that are actually showing up are phoning it in pretty hard, and understandably so. I was wondering if that would carry over to security guards. I imagine it will (it has at other indoor venues) - what do you think? |

Would guess that our AD is trying to set up something that will work but it could take some time to have it run smoothly
Fortunately MBB starts out with an X game - not expecting a full house against St Kate's ?
Hope people get there early and have some patience with those who are working .
Think those working will try to get it as right as possible and seriously doubt they will be looking around at the crowd once in the V
Trust people will co operate and not act similar to some of the people who have been attacking Cabin Attendants
Get there early to avoid any conflicts
It might be a good idea if our AD puts some old game film on the Big Board - of the rally by the Aztecs when then went to a zone defense to beat the Lobos back some years ago .
Stay a class Act

For different reasons, I personally welcome the mask mandate for this year. Hopefully the folks who sit behind us 2 feet above our heads will wear their masks as well. There have been many times someone would be coughing and hacking. And, I can’t definitively prove it, but I am pretty sure I caught what they had on a few occasions.
I prefer not getting another rhinovirus (cold) which turns into a three week sinus infection because of my chronic sinusitis. BooHoo for me right.
For most of you, that is probably not a problem. Just getting a cold for 3 to 7 days and be over it. So far since the pandemic started, I haven’t had any colds.
Also, my wife who has a compromised immune system and I, don’t want to test the waters to see if we end up in the hospital in case some of the covid-19 is lurking around inside the Viejas Arena. Even though we have been well vaccinated.
Speaking of testing the waters, back in October of 1962, I was on an Aircraft carrier, The Yorktown, and we were out at sea searching for USSR subs during the peak of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then when Kennedy was killed, I was in the China Seas searching again for subs. Those were certainly concerning times for our nation during this period of the Cold War.
Maybe because of my youth I was never consciously fearful of our situation. Since the pandemic started I have certainly been more concerned with mine and my wife's fate.
I guess what I am trying to say and covey here is, I wish everyone would be more altruistic and perhaps patriotic in dealing with this invisible enemy that has attacked our shores.
But for now, I hope the folks behind me wear their masks .

Plenty of people will not be wearing masks at various times. Not worth the risk, imo |

But for now, I hope the folks behind me wear their masks . Thank you for your service! I was living directly in the middle of the beginning of the pandemic (for the U.S. anyway). I'd be lying if I said I wasn't also fearful, hearing ambulances bomb down my out of the way street every 15 minutes, empty sidewalks in the busiest city in the country, and clorox wiping produce and groceries after the once a week trip to the store. For what it's worth, there is no one sitting in front of me, coughing in public is now a jailable offense, I'm vaccinated, and I self-rapid test about once a week. We'll all be good! |

If the vaccines actually worked to stop the spread of COVID, we wouldn't need to have a mask mandate. The pharma companies have created a vaccine that doesn't stop one from getting or spreading the disease, which means it will create mutations that will evade protection from the vaccine and lead to a never ending "requirement" to get "vaccinated" each year, twice per year. Great business model for them.
We should have only vaccinated those at risk and then allowed the disease to progress at those who were best equipped to fight the disease off knowing what is necessary for healthy individuals (as well as those at risk) for them to prime their immune system to fight off the infection. Instead, we are allowing pharma companies to ensure our immune system is based on a subscription service. And there are people on here that feel someone like me is "stupid."

This is no different than the common cold or flu. All these viruses constantly mutate, which requires yearly vaccines. Covid is no different. The fact that we got a very effective vaccine (though not 100% perfect) in such a short amount of time is miraculous and a testament to human ingenuity. I have zero problem getting a yearly covid shot along with my flu shot, and am incredibly thankful we live in a time when I can get these to protect my health. All that being said, adding a mask “mandate” on top of this, and then allowing people to remove said mask for as long as they want to eat or drink is beyond stupid and completely illogical. |

Padres didnt have a mask OR vaccination mandate after May…. Outdoor venue vs. Indoor venue. Private venue vs. CSU venue. The Gulls don't have a mask mandate either. Comparably-sized building with different rules regarding the same virus. It just doesn't always make sense. |

For those of you who think this is a good idea, I am curious to know what the end game is? When will it be "safe" to not wear masks? If there were an actual end point with unbiased numbers and accurate reporting, I would be onboard a little more. Since it seems so arbitrary (The Gulls don't require masks), what is the end point?

It just doesn't always make sense. One venue falls under San Diego County health department protocols and the other falls under CSU campus protocols. |

CA Counties do have metrics they use to determine the elimination of indoor mask mandates. I know that the CSU system does as well but I do not know what they are. I do know that in Sonoma County it's less than 50 new cases per 100,000 residents over a period of time and a threshold of over 70% vaccinated rate which I believe goes up to 80% when Children 5 and older are included. |

Roughly the same-sized indoor venue, same virus, and different rules, with both protocols approved by the appropriate government agencies. What is the difference? Is the virus more infectious on CSU campuses? |

And there are people on here that feel someone like me is "stupid." No. Never stupid, just possibly a little ignorant… but the great news is that anyone can learn. We don't all learn at the same rate, so it's never a good idea to think of someone who's possibly a little slower at the uptake as simply being "stupid". What's exciting about the science is that observations are not just someone's random opinions. They're actual, observable, facts. The facts are something that can be replicated over and over again … There's real data. Go SDSU RESEARCH!Go Aztecs!!research.sdsu.edu/covid-19-projects |

If that was the requirement then I'd do it if I wanted to go see a live game. IMHO fighting vaccinations, masks and testing has prolonged this pandemic and I'd like for it to be over sooner or later. Please don't be the jerk that comes to the game and makes everyone uncomfortable and distracting from the game by causing a scene to get your 15 minutes of fame. What the hell dude. I never said I was or wasn't Vaccinated. I asked a simple question. Your the one being the jerk. It's simple... 1. Vaccination has proven to not be the miracle people were sold. 2. You can still get AND SPREAD Covid even if your vaccinated. 3. So why are vaccinated people given a free pass? You couldn’t be more wrong on point #1. Only 4% of the people dying of COVID now are vaccinated. 96% of the deaths are by unvaccinated people. Did you ever take a math class? |
