Fine.
But note that I am noting specific information on those of you who support the recklessness.
I'll use the information as I see fit.
Be careful what you support.

You are noting that 49 out of 50 states have specific information that racing without masks is ok and Oregon is reckless or that Oregon was the only State who wasn't reckless?
Too bad it took Oregon waiting for a kid to get wrecked to update its policy - now that is the definition of recklessness.
Why leave out the 50 States’ Health Authorities? Are they selfish thugs as well?
Or could it be that you know more than the preponderance of those medical professionals?
Look, it’s ok, and even healthy, to admit when you’re wrong.

Democrats are nuts. They say they follow the science, but the science says this does not spread outdoors. So they follow the fear and the mob instead.
The science does not say this does not spread outdoors. It is much less likely to but if you have half a brain you would not say that a virus simply cannot spread outdoors. How stupid are you? If I sneezed on you 10 times while highly contagious with COVID you really think the outdoors offers a magical immunity? It must be nice being so stupid.
The science does say though that covid is not a threat to young people. It also says that heavy exercise while wearing a mask is not advised. Science, actually just facts, say that breathing hard like that while wearing resistance over your mouth ( the mask) puts a negative pressure on your lungs that can physically damage them or cause them to collapse. Both science and common sense says racing with a mask on is a bad and dumb idea. There is no reason for people to wear a mask in a race. There is barely a reason to where a mask anywhere for that matter.

You can take the parts you like out of any clause.
Science says that the likelihood of covid spreading outdoors is lessened because of particle dissipation in the air. Lessened, not destroyed.
Moreover, this is, as science dictates, the general rule when people keep a reasonable distance and are not by each other for a prolonged time. This is why science says to social distance outside and wear a mask when social distancing is not possible. Being in someone 's breath slipstream for a period of time without any mitigation measures can be, and is, many times problematic.
Because you want normal and your racing life back is no reason to lie to yourself or others about science. Learn other hobbies.
There is no science saying wearing mask while racing is a good idea. Zero, because it is not and it is a dangerous idea. Actually, there is a lot of evidence suggesting students and young people should not be masking or social distancing at all, because they are not affected and the healthy youth population spreading viruses around having ng very mild symptoms is the primary means society reaches herd immunity... it is why this year it has taken much longer to get there. There is absolutely no reason now that young people should wear masks. All mandates should end ASAP. There is no evidence out there to support the opposite at this point in the battle other than politics.
Looks like it’s not actually settled...

My answer to you is simple...
I 've been a germaphobe and squeamishly careful from a young age up to current times.
I didn't share a snack with a friend in school if they had touched it
I would never sample something from either parent if they had touched the fork, even if it had not touched the plate
Hugs felt too much close for comfort
I hated crowded places because i didn't know where people had been
Then by high school, in my Bio 2 AP class my sophomore year and my Human Genetics class, I learned introductory microbiology and a bit of virology.
It allowed me to validate that my fears of germs were founded because what I was afraid of had a descriptor in science.
I didn't like to get close to anyone still
By the time I entered college and then got into the working world, I realized that a lot of adults, despite the sophisticated airs they try to give off are nasty, dirty, sniffly, snuffly pigs.
Imagine a typical offire:
Martha over there sniffles 100 times a minute
Dean? He's got the smoker's cough
Bob? Not only does he make disgusting groans you can hear from the other side of the office from the bathroom but he doesn't wash his hands then grabs a document to hand to Sally
Sally? Oh she came in with the flu today...yeah....and she friendlily pats Bob's shoulder to thank him for the document with her flu hands.
Beth? She has been sneezing multiple times today
Then you go to lunch...
Ken, behind the counter, has a cough that he conveniently calls allergies
Mary, who is making the food, has to clear her throat every 10 seconds
June, who serves the food, has just asked to leave early because she doesn't feel well.
Back (teria) from your lunch ..ha! You're in an infirmary...i mean a meeting..
Cough sniffle sniffle snuffle Cough cough throat clear coughing fit etc
And the saga continues
So now in a pandemic, people are having to use gloves, masks, ample bleaches, hospital grade disinfectant sprays, sanitizers and highly antibacterial soaps for required handwashing...
And you have to wonder for one minute WHY I support these precautions?
WOW. You have a major problem. Seek professional help.
I agree. He is a paranoid guy with severe mental issues. Plus, he wants us all to share his paranoia.

Um.
Jesus is not going to stop the virus and Jesus doesn't determine the manifestation of RNA.
Even if Jesus has helped previously, it doesn't mean it's guaranteed.
Sorry, but when you are talking virology and protection, Jesus can't change what the body does.
Faith is great for Salvation, but you're not automatically stronger because "Jesus Christ."
That is not a capstone argument.
I love the Lord
I pray to the Lord after every walk or run
I accept the Lord as my savior
But I accept science when it comes to viral manifestation. That's beyond Jesus.
Amen.
Jesus can heal the sick and raise the dead. He can also make us free from this virus. After all, He created the science that you worship.
