Wow, that's really interesting. So they literally are using the athletes as guinea pigs, and telling them as much.
Instead of posturing and making belligerant statements about "values," this is what is needed - actual experiments and data. I'm glad that these athletes are willing to participate (not that they really have a choice). 2 hair stylists in St. Louis, with symptoms but wearing masks, expose 140 people. I hope that someone is carefully following up on those people - maybe they will get some useful information about masks out of it. It's not even June yet, there will be plenty of new information by July, about all sorts of things.
