  1. It seems this drug is gaining traction (not as a "cure" but as a way to shorten the severity of the virus). The article cites a Chinese study published so I guess we can either believe their data or call it hogwash. University of Minnesota doing their own study, as are South Korea and Spain. The WHO has gotten on board to at least investigate the usefulness of the drug so that's promising. Sadly, some medical facilities have run out of the drug not based on demand, but some physicians and pharmacists "hoarding" the drugs for friends and family (at least that's the allegation). https://www.statnews.com/pharmalot/2020/03/19/teva-mylan-coronavirus-covid19-malaria/ As a result, Mylan plans to restart production of hydroxychloroquine tablets at a West Virginia facility to meet “potential” increased demand and is looking to begin manufacturing outside the U.S. in coming weeks, according to a statement. In explaining its decision, the company noted the World Health Organization listed the drug as being under investigation for combating the coronavirus. He also pointed out that the University of Minnesota announced that it will start a multi-center study evaluating hydroxychloroquine in around 1,500 people who were exposed to Covid-19 within three days but are not symptomatic. And Amsellem also noted that studies are under way in South Korea and Spain. And a search of PubMed, an online database of medical papers, turns up several abstracts, including “Discovering drugs to treat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),” published by three Chinese researchers in Drug Discoveries & Therapies.
  2. Hadn’t seen that before. Makes sense. Generation C! I can just picture little Augie’s asking “What did you and Mom do during the 2020 pandemic?” and Mrs Augie just changes the subject quickly. By the way, had no idea where to put this. If you want to move it to “Generic Covid” thread go ahead.
  3. Is there a chance with so many men and women staying home for the next few weeks that we see a huuuge baby boom in December 2020 - January 2021?? We could be ushering in a new generation of little Fergy’s, Gugny’s and (God save us) Exiled’s. https://www.npr.org/2019/05/15/723518379/u-s-births-fell-to-a-32-year-low-in-2018-cdc-says-birthrate-is-at-record-level
  4. STOOOOOOPPPPPPPPP!!
  5. I believe I was at the forefront of this issue when asking whether I can pet my “dumb yellow lab”. Your answer made sense. So I have brushed him every day since then...and washed thoroughly (because the hair and slobber is unbearable).
  6. Maybe it’s not fox fur after all...that piece of fur on the floor is left over Schnauzer pelt. No wonder she left him.
  7. Maybe he'll share his "other" pics of the fox?
  8. https://glensfalls.craigslist.org/clo/d/stony-creek-silver-fox/7094747014.html I thought Craigslist banned any form of human trafficking? This fox can be purchased for $750 and you get a fur coat included as part of the deal. Seller writes: "she left me now she looses" By the way, this is in @Gugny's backyard. Would ya?
  9. Definitely a dude but wearing "short shorts". I suppose the fridge wasn't large enough for his case of Mich Ultras.
  10. This rug should sell very quick. Not sure why none of you fellas haven't scooped it up yet. It goes with any color in your house. https://glensfalls.craigslist.org/hsh/d/lake-george-rug-colorful-orange/7068778837.html Seller writes: "Huge rug - unrolled only, but we didn't like the way the rug looked in our room. Make us an offer!" I don't like the way it looks on the earth
  11. These are making a comeback...
  12. I assume that's where the description "Project" came into play.
  13. "....and it doubles as a gravel/top soil screening plant..." ?
  14. As I recall, those key words were used in a San Diego ad several years ago. Dead serious.
  15. Post them if you find some. This one looks interesting. https://albany.craigslist.org/snw/d/south-bethlehem-hovercraft-project/7095452584.html Caption could read: “So close, but yet so far” or “You built a time machine? Out of a Delorean?”
  16. Might I suggest the BettyCrocker.com message board. You can comment on recipes, tell the author you substituted a Tbsp or honey for a cup of sugar and ask “Why didn’t it turn out sweet enough?”....then sit back and enjoy the show.
  17. Thanks for picking this apart. How someone has 20-30 minutes to devote to this kinda chit is admirable. You are now an 8.7 on the Bills Fandom scale.
  18. I'd smoke that at 250-275 for seven hours, create a rub of cumin, marjoram, black pepper and cayenne. The snout is just like burnt ends if you do it right.
  19. Sorry to hear this teef. I'm in the same boat here as a small business owner (smaller scale)...only two employees. I'm giving them the option to come in and work with me here (cancel office appointments) via email with clients, other attys and banks...or go home. I think they would rather be here because it takes their minds off what is happening for a few hours each day. Keep us posted and if there's anything we can do to help. @Hapless Bills Fan Not sure if this has been asked, but do you know if this will be an annual vaccination we should all get? Will it be something infants should be vaccinated for like Chicken Pox, Mumps, etc or will this die off in the next year or so? I know these are very broad questions but didn't know if this thing will find its last host and disappear or if it will continually change and revisit us each Fall/Winter? Also, this is a dumb question: Any risk of this virus affecting beef, pork, or even my stupid Yellow Lab? Is it unique to humans only and animals cannot spread the disease?
  20. Hi...grandpa?? I’m in jail. Yeah. It’s me...your grandson. Can you wire me money for bail? I need $7,500. Please.
  21. Live visits to go into a neighborhood, talk with people, observe a class where your kids will be attending, check out the country clubs, look at houses, the facilities where you’ll train for the next 3-6 years. I must be different. More power to you if you can move your family across country based on a Yelp review.
  22. How do I look at neighborhoods and local schools for my children before I decide to sign with a team?? Virtual school visits?
  23. Players need to be interviewed, wined, dined, flown around in a jet, look at neighborhoods, schools, etc. It can't hurt to delay it for a month. Oh wait...I guess everyone wants FA because they'll be bored out of their skull. We should expose players, their families and franchises to a deadly virus just to make our lives more exciting?? #delayfreeagency
