Could you wear a mask at a ballgame?

So, how would you feel about wearing a mask at a baseball game?

We're all wondering how fans are going to sit in a stadium, side-by-side, and watch games this year. It's unlikely to happen, and the first thing you must think about is how we would watch games with masks on our faces.

Think about the story of the church choir in Seattle. They believed the 66 or so members were asymptomatic. But 47 members got sick with the COV-ID 19 virus and three died.

It was obvious the pellets that flew out of the mouths of the choir members infected others. They couldn't help it. They were singing. And you can't wear a mask singing.

So, how could you go to a ballgame and cheer loudly for your team? The same pellets that came out of the mouths of the choir members would be flying out of the mouths of baseball fans when they are cheering for their favorite team.

How would that work? That's why it seems unlikely we will see fans in stadiums this year. It might take until a vaccine is discovered to have fans sit shoulder-to-shoulder again.

Would you feel comfortable sitting in a stadium with a mask on? Or would you still worry with someone behind you that may not have a mask on that they could infect you if they had the virus?

These are the things we worry about now. It's a new world, and when it includes fans in stands remains to be seen.
