  1. I will point out that I have seen this bite post many times on Twitter but never with that word. The algorithm they use determines which words/phrases get you to respond and gives you more of it. I get tons of stuff from 90s Bills and other sport items. Block the trolls and they go away
  2. @Joe Ferguson forever I am truly curious what stance you have ever taken in regards to COVID that was driven by concern for the young people? I know your concern for 70+ year olds is outstanding but I accepted shutting down schools for several months and did both online and face to face school at the same time for a while year to help out old folks, but what stance have you had that was not basically screw the kids.
  3. My concern will always be for kids over adults, yours is the opposite. Also your 30k number is not from COVID since the total since 2020 of COVID deaths under 30 still has not hit 10k in total.
  4. I can get Hemingway and Anne Frank from my local library so you are lying about the book ban, i appreciate that you don't want to discuss the fact that the vaccine did nothing to protect the young and healthy beyond what their own immune system already provided, as intelligent people thought in March of 2020 and knew with certainly by August of 2020. It is still a conspiracy that the US funded gain of function research in Wuhan on a Sars virus? You must have missed a ton of news over the past few years
  5. It was not novel, the US government had been studying it for years at the Wuhan laboratory. But two questions, how many lives to think we're saved by healthy 30 year olds getting vaccinated? Secondly can you name one book banned in Florida?
  6. I assume you live in one of the states that mandated the COVID shot for children, was that part of abundance of caution or was that simply evil to force an experiment on children?
  7. As I stated there were several articles of how ICUs were at capacity without pointing out capacity is a flexible thing for an ICU. Sam Attallah who you quote, works out of the hospital I go to for my doctor. His hospital was absolutely not being overrun at any point. They had to move non emergency appointments but he was being dramatic. The nursing shortage is real here, but that is due to an ever expanding population and is continuing to this day. By mid 2021 most of life Orlando was back to normal even at the hospitals.
  8. Far too often you sound like you never practiced medicine at all. "Filling up every ICU bed" is a line from a politician not a doctor- ICU is made to flex and few places ran out of beds. NYC ask for and received the floating hospitals and barely used them. In Orlando they shut down non vital services but COVID never overran any hospital in central Florida , though the loval media did lie about it a couple of times and then "correct" themselves a few days later.
  9. Wait, you expect me to read an article and not just go off a headline? You expect too much!!
  10. I agree with Williams, he physically fits the position well for us and I think he understands his role well. Our LBs could be insane for the next few years. I disagree with Elam but it is one of my few indictments of Beane, taking a man cover corner to play put zone is dumb, guys instincts work with one or other, rarely both.
  11. I went to the Bills Raiders playoff game that about the same temperature and stayed the whole game when I was in my teens. My father left with my sister who was a preteen at the time at the end of first quarter because her clothes weren't warm enough. I have minimal sympathy for any adult because if you bundle up you will be fine and it takes several bad decisions to get to that point. As for kids, my sympathy is enormous and wish they had a father like mine.
  12. What Frank said about too high self esteem is not off the mark for many of these kids. I will state most of the kids I teach have parents who have money to pay full freight for a college, so scholarships and such are not top of mind. Also most colleges have acceptance rates north of 50% so being from my school and being a 3.0 gpa kid gets you into most schools. During 2021 COVID was top of mind and kids stayed home with minor colds, and that seems to be continuing, which is an issue. Lastly I definitely have the kids who don't care about college or the future also, but the issue we have is we can't kick them out really until they turn 19 even if they are not doing much of anything.
  13. If you hear about the absenteeism being out of control, it is not a joke. I have an Honors class in the middle of the day where 19 of 26 already have 10+ absences. Generally at 10 absences for the year and A is hard to reach. 10 of the students are on pace for 20 absences and at that point a B is generally unrealistic. How is a teacher responsible for kids they don't see?
  14. Hillary literally paid for the Steele Dossier, which is Russian disinformation, and you think Trump was the new "scale and willingness"? Secondly acceptance of foreign interference is applauded when it is believed to help liberals, such as foreign nationals whom work in Hollywood praise them.
  15. I do have a question for you- how was the interference in 2016 any different than the interference in every election since at least Reagan? The only major difference I see is that one of the campaigns was dumb enough to get hacked with classified information. Russians lied about Trump in the Steele Dossier, Russians lied about Hillary also.
  16. Any player not named Josh Allen should be available for the right price but I doubt anyone will offer what he is worth to us.
  17. UCF had some injuries in middle of year and got smoked by two middling teams. We lost by 2 to Sooners and by 1 to Texas tech and Baylor. We would have been 8-4 if not for some bad luck. All of our good luck came during that one game.
  18. I will ask again, if playing the odds, what is the most likely source of the illness to a child who has never traveled?
  19. I proved your statement that illegals don't live in "affluent suburbs" was stupid, but as for the third grader, if the child did not travel how did they come into contact with the measles? Lack of travel means it was most likely brought in with someone else from somewhere else. It is very likely the initial student with it did not go to a doctor because he was illegal.
  20. What is wrong with you? You throw around accusations that are juvenile and bigoted whenever you are shown that your "facts" are stupid. But I will show you how mixed some areas of Florida are as far as income. This is not my school but in my county, and these two would go to the same school. https://www.rockethomes.com/homes/13377-lake-butler-blvd-winter-garden-fl-34787 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/720-Queensbury-Loop-211-Winter-Garden-FL-34787/2055523940_zpid/
  21. That is the dumbest argument I have heard, I teach billionaires kids and have several students who are illegal immigrants, they live with legal people with several families per house. But thankfully you did not try to argue how it was introduced to the community.
  22. Something I have been hearing from friends who teach down in Belle Glade area that NIL is coming to high school. Players currently go to local restaurants and get free food without concern about college eligibility, so how long till it is fully sanctioned?
  23. Shakir will be better this year than last year. He will be a top 8 slot guy in the NFL similar to Beasley was to us. When we drafted him I was thrill because in college he was like Beasley but more athletic.
  24. I am a UCF season ticket holder and our game vs OSU was the brightest spot of the season. That being said we had played extremely poorly the two prior games and for obvious reasons you thought that was who we were.
  25. For a "doctor" you seem to have a very poor understanding of how viruses are introduced to a population. If measles were eradicated from the area for the past 20+ years, where do you suggest the initial infection came from? Secondly only 4% are not vaccinated in Florida schools of people here legally, so it is amazing you think the majority of non vaccinated students got the illness that fast in the school
