Others say politics cloud the true reality of COVID-19. Many state that masks do virtually next to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Partisan politics and media do keep us from knowing the full reality of the Coronavirus. But we still must err on the side of caution until there is a full understanding of COVID-19. And a cure or effective mass suppression of the virus through therapeutics.\u00a0Regarding wearing masks, I know there is this controversy about whether they are effective. Can the masks catch microns particles? Everyone seems to be an expert on this with various opinions whether a medical expert or a poster on social media that barely passed high school science. But again until we know more about the virus, it would probably be best to wear a mask when social distancing is not possible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure Freddie Freeman would concur with all this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional reading<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/2020\/06\/17\/love-not-covid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spread love not COVID-19<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If someone as big and strong as Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman prayed not to die when his fever spiked to 104.5 after catching the Coronavirus, then shouldn&#8217;t the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[269],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.9.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Question on the Coronavirus - Eric&#039;s New England Gift Shop and Photo Tour Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"If someone as big and strong as Atlanta Braves 1B Freddie Freeman prayed not to die when his fever spiked to 104.5 after catching the Coronavirus, then...\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/2020\/07\/23\/question-coronavirus\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Question on the Coronavirus - Eric&#039;s New England Gift Shop and Photo Tour Blog\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"If someone as big and strong as Atlanta Braves 1B Freddie Freeman prayed not to die when his fever spiked to 104.5 after catching the Coronavirus, then...\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Coronavirus-Question.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\">\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\">\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/visitingnewengland.com\/blog-photo-tour\/\",\"name\":\"Eric&#039;s New England Gift Shop and Photo Tour Blog\",\"description\":\"On New England, memories, food, happiness, civility.
