North Balti Zen Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 City of Baltimore has to sign off on any attendance at Camden. No word yet on how many will be allowed to attend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It’s also up to the Orioles. Gov. Hogan said social distancing has to be maintained with all these restriction relaxations which is pretty much impossible with even 50% capacity at OPACY (let alone restaurants). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 over-under 60 wins for the Os? I haven't paid much attention, but unless they have several pitching prospects that are ready to step up, who they got than can get outs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 By the first of summer all who want a vaccine will probably have one. At that point it needs to be 100%. Anybody worried about their health will have either been vaccinated or can just not go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect no fans or less then 25% if that's the case that is a real shame and ridiculous tbh. Hopefully fingers crossed they go with at least the 50% but if it's there ultimate decision then I'm not very optimistic. Bowser still saying no fans at Nats Park but that ‘could change’. The Navy Yard area bars and restaurants would get a nice boost by allowing fans - plus all the workers at the ballpark, too. Same for Camden Yards.

June 1 or July 1 and let rip I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any variant that pops up outside the US ends up here anyway, because there are plenty of exemptions for those restrictions- just not for the majority who would like to travel.

WxUSAF Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’d be in favor of all domestic restrictions being lifted. I think international still makes some sense. 11 minutes ago, CAPE said: All travel restrictions should be lifted, and I am talking international too.

mappy Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I think its best not to tell people to stop being scared, we all have our limits with what we are willing to risk and should be more respectful of that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this! I honestly get tired of all the calls to just open stuff up, it's time now, etc. I don't even think it's necessarily so much "being scared" as it is being cautious. Honestly, everyone would like to get back to some semblance of normal but as @WxUSAF mentioned earlier, this is no time to spike the ball. Many of the experts (such as Dr. Fauci) have cautioned that while the vaccine is ramping up, that doesn't mean we should just abandon current distancing/masking protocols or start opening everything up in full. At least not yet. I'd rather be overly cautious with this than not. The other issue is that "making your own decision" doesn't only affect you, it potentially affects everyone around you as well. The nature of an airborne virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling that even if most people (who want it) are vaccinated in 30-60 days (the President said in May which would be fantastic), there will still be calls for “now isn’t the time to open up....we still need to be vigilant” and the hamster wheel will continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who have lower risk thresholds, absolute should go do the things they are able to do with all safety measures in place. but lets not belittle those who chose not to as being 'scared' 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all grown ass adults, we know what we are comfortable with and what we are not. And that's okay. its okay if someone wants to hit up a bar after a long day at work, or go catch a Os' game (when they can), but please don't belittle the rest of us who are being more cautious. No one here knows anything about anyone else and why they are making the choices they are making to go out, or stay home.

jonjon Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I agree we need to keep vigilant on being cautious for as long as we can. That being said, looking back at the last page or two of this thread I don't see where anyone was belittling someone who wanted to be cautious.

Ok, but I still stand by what I said - if not what I specifically said, I still don’t see any belittling. The only blatant thing I saw was trix calling out a group of people for being awful human beings. Shouldn’t your post about not belittling others for being scared apply the other way, too?
