Okay, this is #Lemming territory:
First, read this quote from the freaking President of Notre Dame University - part of the "invincibility" behavior:
(more like #GroupNoThink)
If everyone tested
negative
, we're fine, right?

Now, on Wednesday, #HopeHicks tested negative as she flew with Trump on AF1. But that night, she felt lousy. And on *THE NEXT MORNING*, she tested *POSITIVE*
How is that possible?
Oh...the virus has to rise to a detectable level - but you could be contagious before that.
Hmmm

REPEAT:
if you have 1 virus particle, the tests probably can't detect that.
10 particles?
100 particles?
1000 particles?
Dunno. But:
The CONTAGIOUS level
is LESS THAN
the DETECTION level.
#ScienceMatters
THAT is why this spreads. Viral implies rapid, exponential growth.

Next is my *reasoned guessing*, but
If you get the virus,
but your immune system fights it
and you don't get symptoms,
it probably never got "out of control"
But, if you do get symptoms,
*maybe it did get out of control*
Regardless
non-symptomatic people still spread the virus

So, the Pres of a prestigious university sez "we were told it was safe to remove our masks."
Uh, #Science?
Does *ANYONE* know everything about COVID?
Nope.
So if you make mistakes, *ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION*.
It isn't just your life. It could be your grandmother's funeral.

Okay, I'm wrapping this thread up.
But the whole "Anti-expert" thing is just stupid.
People wanted to have a Beer with "W". But he eschewed expertise ("Heckuva job, Brownie")
But if I design an airplane, are you gonna fly in it?
(I'm only a Mechanical Engineer, not Aero)

So - Universities. & presidents of them.
The *FIRST* thing you learn when you strive to become educated is this:
You learn that you don't know that much, and that there is so much to learn.
it is less easy/simple to say things ABSOLUTELY, in black-and-white language.
ND?

People on the "right" claim that Universities "indoctrinate" people to be lefties
No. conservatives have become black-and-white thinkers, and critical thought requires shades-of-gray
people on the right rejecting science, expertise, critical thought - pushes educated ppl left.

Anyway,
Nobody flies airplanes that aren't FAA regulated.
Because they don't want to die.
Well, guess what? As we figure out COVID19, wear a damn mask!
Or watch your President go down for not wearing one.
