Props to Ryan Miller.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31140-5/fulltext ”Reviving the US CDC” Wow, the lancet ain’t playing around... (and they’re THE gold standard of medical journals).

Came across this and thought it might be useful for you and @TheBrownBear https://rehabmed.weill.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/post_covid_rehab_-_patient_guide_0.pdf Recovering from COVID-19: A Patient Guide its the recovery guide given out at NY Presbyterian hospital in NYC. It’s been one of the hardest hit hospitals. If you don’t have an incentive spirometer you may want to order one (they should be cheap or at least they used to be), or call and ask your doctor or local hospital for one. They should give you one without issue I’d think. But even if you can’t get one they still show a number of different breathing exercises to do and they link to a bunch more videos at the bottom. Id also think about getting a pulse oximeter as Hapless recommended to monitor your oxygen levels. Here’s s couple more breathing exercises from the American lung association that I’ve seen recommended for Covid 19 recovery. https://www.lung.org/lung-health-diseases/wellness/breathing-exercises Ive read and been told it’s important to fight this virus setting into your lungs. This video demonstrates similar techniques to link from the ALA. Best wishes to both Roth of you for a speedy recovery!

I’m not sure, but if I’m reading the charts right I think it’s because central NY falls under the 2nd threshold. You have to meet either or. For ex., in metric #1) It looks like they’re at 6 new hospitalizations every 3 days (average), putting them well under the 15 case threshold. So even though they haven’t had 14 days of declining hospital cases, since they’re under 15 total cases every 3 days (average) they meet the criteria. Same with metric #2. It needs to be fewer than 5 deaths every 3 days and they’re at 3. (assuming I’m reading the charts right...lol) And yes, I’m happy with the way NY is handling reopening. They’re letting the experts lead and following the CDC guidelines, which is what every state should be doing IMO. I know some people get mad that we’re still closed but NYS is literally just following the federal plan for reopening. edit - @Hapless Bills Fan I just looked at the hospitalization rate chart for Central NY and I see what you mean. The rate is climbing quickly. If it continues they’ll be over that 15 case threshold soon and could have to shut down right after they open.

Yeah this was from April. Here’s the original story: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29050030/broncos-von-miller-tried-take-every-precaution-caught-virus I can’t find the other story I was looking for. It had more details. He was having someone come in to service his fish tanks once a week. Had a couple teammates over. A plumber. His brother was in and out. His assistant too. So my guess is that someone probably brought it into his house.

From the link above: It’s on a 3 day rolling average. Pretty sure one day here and there can be higher than the last as long as there’s a downward trajectory of cases over a 14 day period. If you look at the hospitalization rate graph in that link, (if I’m reading it correctly) I don’t really see any 14 day period where you could draw a line that slopes down. Best I see is a 5 day decline from 4/20 to 4/25. Our ICU rates are going down, which is good to see. But hospitalizations look like they were actually on an upward trajectory from 5/8 to 5/13 before dropping for 1 day yesterday. https://forward.ny.gov/regional-monitoring-dashboard Looking at the metrics, we are getting closer on hitting #2 but we are not even close on #1.

That’s one gripe I had about Botterill. He preaches development and not rushing players, then he rushes 2 of our most important prospects for (IMO) reasons other than them truly being ready (the ROR trade).

It makes me wonder how many are taking this thing serious around here. Personally, Ive seen multiple neighbors on my street gathering in large groups quite frequently. I’ve even seen multiple neighbors have big parties - for Easter, mother’s day. A couple had birthday parties. One house on mother’s day must have had about 10 cars parked out in the street. Even the ones that say they’re “taking it serious”, like my neighbor a few doors down with CODP, aren’t really taking it serious. Like, for her birthday a couple weeks ago her family did one of those car parades. Has to be about 7 cars. They drive by, honk. Circle around, then about 1/2 of the cars park in front of her house. They get out of the car, go right up to my neighbor and they all start HUGGING HER. No masks on anyone. Same thing on mother’s day. I was left wondering what the point of the car parade even was...lol. There’s 2 houses in particular, one right next door and the other a few doors down, that constantly have people over. Like, almost every day. My neighbor on the other side just had about 5 people over when the weather was nice last week. They all hung out shoulder to shoulder in his yard drinking beers. Then when it cooled off they all crowded into his small shed and hung out there all night. Went to watch the fly over at the park near my house 2 days ago. It was absolutely packed. I couldn’t even find a spot to park. I’d say maybe 1/2 (or less) were wearing masks or tying to social distance. It’s not the 1st time I went to walk in that park and there were lots of people crowding together. I’ve drove by restaurants and seen crowds standing outside waiting for food (with very little mask wearing and social distancing). I see many people in public without masks. Many who don’t social distance. I’ve had people standing Most of my friends I talk to are out and about almost every day. I think I told you about my friend who told me how serious he was taking this, then tells me how he’s running to the stores every day (no mask). He’s having groups of friends over for card parties (but he wore gloves! ?‍♂️ and had just come back from picking his sister up at the airport...). Maybe this is just my experience though? I know that many around here are following the guidelines. Maybe it’s just my neighborhood... lol

Im feeling pretty good about CB2. I think between Wallace, Norman and EJ Gaines someone will lock down that job.

I haven’t had a chance to read through all the guidelines contained in this link but it seems like a pretty decent resource so I figured I’d share. https://www.backtoworksafely.org It’s from the American Industrial Hygiene Association.

Some of the stuff Watkins said reminds me of someone I know who has some issues with schizophrenia.

Really looking forward to this one!

Just came across this site. From the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/new-york You can pick any state. I just used NY since that’s where I live.

I can’t speak to the report being discussed. But Personally, I’ve found that a lot of state health websites lag a week or two behind in their data because they are only reporting the cases once they confirm them and that takes time (as it mentions on their websites). And county department’s of health are overwhelmed, which is slowing things down as well. augie - go to that website, scroll down just past the deaths over time, to where it shows demographics. Then click on the lab testing tab. notice how from May 1st till current there’s all those perforated dots? This is what it says about what those dots mean: Also, see this: Ive found this website to be pretty accurate. They use preliminary data and it seems to more accurately reflect the real time case numbers. I mean, I can’t say for 100% sure it’s accurate, but since I’ve been following it I haven’t noticed any big discrepancies. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I agree with both of you. I just don’t see how they can resume the season. All it takes is one player or coach or team employee getting sick to derail everything again. At this point just focus on next season (and even that is not a guarantee, at least starting on time anyway). It would be a logistical nightmare to try and complete this season.
