BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Health officials are urging everyone to take the COVID-19 vaccine now before we get into the fall season, when they anticipate the Delta Variant will spread even more.

UAB Infectious disease expert Dr. Michael Saag said outdoor events are safer than indoor events, but that doesn’t mean you cant catch the virus outside.

He said if you are packed into a football stadium, you can catch the virus from someone sitting behind or around you. He said when someone is cheering loudly, the infection particles can reach up to eight feet. Saag said unvaccinated people should wear a mask at the game the entire time and those who are vaccinated should wear one too when they are in a large crowd with mixed vaccination status.

Hahaha! The sociopathic stupidity of Covid Fear Porn genuinely makes me laugh now.

This whole thing has become comedy theater. I believe that, one by one, those that bought into the government lies are waking up. The deep state blew it. The nonsense is not playing well in australia nor France right now either. They failed.

Distrust of government, Fauci and the fear mongering message is hitting critical mask. They are done. They will have to go full scorched earth to keep people in line. And when that happens, it will be lead poisoning that will be killing people, not this weak sister virus.

Buffalo Bills open practice today (7/31/21)...

crowd estimate 35-40K. that’s over 50% capacity - just to watch guys practice.

Me thinks the public in blue state NY is reeeeeealy afraid of the Delta (no sarcasm tag big enough).

My fall sports (hiking and fishing) won’t be affected at all.

Carry on with your fear mongering.

Delta wave will be over by Labor Day. Maybe sooner. UK is already down 35% from their peak and we are a couple of weeks behind them.

May be sociopathic, certainly stupid, but remarkably effective in laying the groundwork for ruining the short- and medium-term life plans of a great many ordinary Americans naively thinking their children’s sports teams, marching bands, etc. could return to their normal activities this fall, and that they themselves would be able to attend and view same hither and yon throughout the state in the normal course without fear of Karen-level intervention and humiliation.

And when we’re finished with the D variant we have the rest of the alphabet to use, each one a pandemic crisis well into the next two centuries; they’ll have it that babies will be born with masks on.
