I thought GMs were supposed to draft a QB every year. Saw it on the board...

This is a fair and just societal trade-off . Imagine how many lives we could save if many more people worked from home, others received unemployment to stay home ... perpetually ( not everyone can have an “ essential job” after all) stores were online order and pick up only , and all restaurants were take out only. And we left stay at home orders in place ! If we did this continually , deaths of all kinds would go down substantially. Two years ! WTF ! Madness, sheer madness. Health officials are not economists. They will also continue to be employed. That’s the problem ; health officials will say it won’t be safe forever and we should stay locked down to avoid CoVid 19. That’s not realistic though for a society, but they’re only focus is avoiding CoVid 19. It’s just not real life. People will die from things we don’t have vaccines or treatments for. It’s like saying we should all stay inside forever to cut down on skin cancer deaths.

Of course not ! Cuomo ( even in blue to the core NYS) made sure to send out mail in ballots to registered voters. November will not be safe !

Yes, it has bought some time, but probably not enough to reduce a lot of deaths. For many it will just be moving the dates up, unless they make a personal decision to continue sheltering in place. Business will adapt and need to be allowed to do so. People adapting will be the biggest factor imo. That means the vulnerable need to avoid crowds and wear an N 95 mask. Their families and friends should keep 6 feet away and avoid prolonged periods of time near them while indoors. At least until there are effective treatments, but for those most at risk it may mean major changes to activities and reducing trips to public spaces. Everyone else should be able to carry on pretty much as normal in relatively short order. Until treatments and or a vaccine exist, it will need to become part of one’s personal risk assessment.

Yep they only show negatives like playoff win drought etc..

We will be ultra conservative as usual and draft a DB or OL.

It may not ultimately reduce death, but it most likely delays death. We need to admit the fact that people are going to continue to die of or with CoVid 19. Denying it is illogical.

But we cannot stay shut down for much longer; certainly not as long as many of these politicians seem to want. From Cuomo saying deaths are going down , but not quickly enough ( number of deaths wasn’t a criteria) to Poloncarz saying we haven’t tested people from enough areas in Erie County , they just throw around vague statements. No one seems able to admit that cases are going to go up as more people are tested, as well as when things reopen. The goal simply cannot be that no one anywhere ever gets Coronavirus again. It’s not remotely realistic. It seems that Politicians and therefore a sizable portion of the public at large keep focusing on “ when it’s safe”, and that’s misleading. Cuomo is already signaling that November isn’t going to be safe enough for voters to go to the polls. They talk of avoiding a “ second wave” , which is probably inevitable along with a third wave etc. No one is going to be “ safe “ from contracting Coronavirus without a vaccine, which is a long way off if it happens at all. Are Pols paralyzed by fear of public backlash because they’ve misled the public ? They’ve created an expectation of being “ protected” and “safe” from a virus that isn’t going away when Governors admit they cannot prolong reopening any longer.

I would be calling it some nonsensical rambling by Biden, and would definitely have been on it. However, I wouldn’t have twisted it into something he didn’t say at all. The LSM hysteria over this has been laughable. Locally , channel 2 news felt the need to spend 5 minutes of last nights edition “ explaining” that people shouldn’t ingest bleach. Their arrogance is mind boggling.

I still haven’t heard anyone who says we need more testing explain exactly how it would be done ,what they’d like to accomplish with it, and how it would be implemented. Seems to be a red herring...

He asked an extremely vague question that was probably nonsensical. He in no way made a suggestion about anything.

Nope

Maybe they didn’t like Jefferson enough to take him in that spot. This was about value and immediate help, not depending on a rookie to carry the load. It’s a deep draft for WRs , and they can get one in the other rounds. Higgins was the target and had a bad Pro day. It seems they liked Lamb and Jeudy, but that was going to be an expensive move up if it happened at all.

Except no one is doing this or even thinking about it ...except perhaps a liberal.

Lol, what a crock of BS. Which is it now? Isn’t the goal to “ slow the spread” or is it to stop it completely ( that’s not going to happen) ? You don’t even know, do you Tibs? Here in BUF, a local news channel had a quote from an area doctor saying the early antibody testing data was “ disappointing”. He said you “ would hope there would be a higher rate of infection.”So which is it ? Herd immunity doesn’t happen when the population at large is shut in and shut down. Libs just want to tank the economy beyond repair, even though the vast majority of people won’t have an extreme reaction to Coronavirus. It seems the original goal has somehow shifted into preventing anyone anywhere from contracting Coronavirus, which isn’t realistic or even possible.

True, but little that Cuomo does or says makes sense.

Testing is on the States and Governors, then localities. They don’t want testing and do everything to delay it, then blame the Feds. They don’t want it, because it will lift the lockdowns. They are power mad and want to control the serfs, until the election. Then it clearly won’t be “ safe” enough to go out and vote ,so we must have a mail- in election, which they will try to steal.

No ,stupid people are not the reason we have a President Trump, Tibs. Democrats are the reason; the only reason. Their warped worldview that defies common sense, defies the Constitution, embraces socialism, denounces capitalism, is overly PC and believes Caucasian Americans are racist. That’s why we have a President Trump. Thats why we have Trump,

Hopefully we will be. Cuomo will fight it tooth and nail, of course. He’s about to roll out his new plan “ 500 days to bend the slowdown of the curve’s peak” complete with visuals reassuring us how short the lockdown is compared to the Crusades.

You’re way off base, because everyone knows not to do such a thing (it’s not what Trump said anyway) and only someone who thinks everyone else is not intelligent would think otherwise. It doesn’t need to be said , nutjobs just believe that it does. Only a Dem has done something so obviously foolish (by drinking fish tank cleaner), at least to date.

Yep, this was nonsensical rambling. Maybe he’s tired? Anyway, no human with a functioning brain cell remaining would take anything of note out of that mumbo jumbo. I dismissed it immediately. Oh well. See, liberals assume they are so supremely intelligent and everyone else is too dumb to figure anything out for themselves. It’s pathetic, really. Wasn’t it a Dem that drank the fish tank cleaner after all ?

Public transportation / hygiene and a high prevalence of heart disease/ obesity.

The numbers were wrong, Tibs because they had social distancing baked into them. Its looking pretty clear that the lockdowns were somewhat unnecessary . Sweden never locked down, for example. The numbers suggest that those who are most vulnerable and have underlying health conditions should avoid crowds and close contact with a lot of people. That would include older Americans. Hypertension and diabetes are going to lead to bad outcomes with covid 19. Keeping business shuttered and preventing otherwise healthy Americans from earning a living is probably a massive government overreach in this case. Yes, a lot more people are going to be infected with cornavirus and its not going away. Its not a reason to close an entire country for much longer. Certainly not indefinitely or until all risk of Covid19 for everyone is gone, as the far lefties seem to want.
