The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Of course there are going to be exceptions since the vaccines approved so far decrease your risk of getting infected by 95%, 90%, and 76% depending on which one you got. Not 100%. I love how over 315 million people in the US has received one dose (148 million fully vaccinated) and this clown finds one person who got Covid despite being fully vaccinated. All this article tells is young adults should get vaccinated ASAP because you can see the impact that Covid can have on them long term. If only I had some kind of mechanism that could allow me to travel back in time and invest in Peloton stock. -
New NFL-NFLPA Covid protocols

The kid played through a painful injury last playoffs so I don't doubt his toughness and commitment. His intelligence on the other hand.... -

Actual doctors don't seem to have reservations. https://consumer.healthday.com/b-6-14-almost-all-u-s-physicians-have-gotten-a-covid-vaccine-2653327263.html More than 96% are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with no significant difference in vaccination rates across regions, according to a new survey from the American Medical Association (AMA). Even among the 4% not yet vaccinated, 45% said they do plan to get their vaccine. -
Tua throws 5 picks on first day of Dolphins mini camp

That "I expected it to be a lot harder" line hasn't held up well. Get Watson's agent on line one. -

Stephon Gilmore holding out?

Normally I agree but phluck the Pats. -
Hey Levon... You made the wrong choice

I don't know if his ego can take it but he'd be a possible upgrade as a change of pace back for the Titans behind Henry. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It is but proof vaccination is easier to track. It's a data point combined with new cases, hospitalizations, deaths, etc.. that make easy to analyze when making policy decisions. Most only see that Cleveland Clinic study as useful in that if there's a scarcity of supply then they shouldn't be given top priority. Since supply outweighs demand right now it's useless information to most of them. If I'm a doctor I'd much rather have a person who gets both natural immunity on top of vaccine immunity. I asked my primary doctor if she's worried about the unforeseen side effects of the approved Covid vaccine and she said he's more worried about getting struck by lightning on her morning jog. Very anecdotal it's representative of the majority of the medical community as a whole (including those who work for the CDC) when it comes to the Covid vaccines. -

It's also why he didn't get tackled for a 20 yard loss.

CFP considering expansion to 12-team format
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in College Football
With a chance (no matter how minute) at a championship title and to put good film in against better teams they'll play. Internal pressure from both the team and your college as a whole also plays a factor. -
Jerry Hughes, the longest tenured Buffalo Bill
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember a lot of experts saying he was the best WR prospect since Calvin Johnson. Better than Julio Jones and AJ Green. Little did they know at the time he believes he is an alien and that we are all possessed with demons inside of us. Did Whaley even bother to interview Watkins? -
Jerry Hughes, the longest tenured Buffalo Bill
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
True but fans have to be consistent (not saying you aren't). If they blame Whaley for drafting EJ then he should be given credit for trading for Hughes even though he technically wasn't GM at the time. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Because the medical field as a whole is extremely cautious. The Cleveland Clinic study was conducted mostly with younger and healthy people (do older and more at risk people produce the same robust immune response?) and we don't know how long the natural immunity lasts. Vaccines have shown effectiveness against the different Covid strains up to this point while there's little information about how the strains impact people who got Covid that haven't received the vaccine. The CDC and the media should make people aware of the study though for people still on the fence about getting the vaccine. -

Doug Whaley did pull off two lopsided trades (this one and Shady). I'll give him that much. -
Sumbody in The Windy City not happy about Mitch Trubisky!
Doc Brown replied to Kwai San's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm wondering if this guy is aware they could've had Mahomes or Watson and not traded up. Edit: I dm'd him in his twitter account. He's WELL aware and not the kindest person. -
CFP considering expansion to 12-team format
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in College Football
I love it. Twelve was perfect for the NFL with the top four teams getting a bye. One bad game won't ruin an entire season for some highly skilled teams and you'll have a lot more meaningful games near the end of the season trying to get into that 12 team playoff. You'll also get to see some Cinderella stories. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
That's why you look at the actual overall raw number of deaths as a whole (regardless of cause) because those are less prone to estimates and preconceived biases (if you think the lockdowns were overly restrictive you tend to find information suggesting it was an over count and an undercount if you think they didn't go far enough). -

178 hospital employees out of 25,000? LOL. Enjoy that suspension without pay. -
The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
If you go back in this thread there were studies that showed the death rate was likely 0.2 to 0.4% of those infected so that's not particularly surprising. If you took the .2% and half the US population got infected with Covid then there would be approximately 630,000 US deaths. I always wondered about excess deaths to access the severity of the virus considering we basically shut down our economy to combat it. Results released in April showed the US death rate increased in 2020 increased for the first time since 2017 with an increase of 15.9% from 2019. Suicide actually went down 5.6% which was surprising to me considering people didn't get their usual social fix. Here's a better explanation of the preliminary data on deaths in 2020. During January–December 2020, the estimated 2020 age-adjusted death rate increased for the first time since 2017, with an increase of 15.9% compared with 2019, from 715.2 to 828.7 deaths per 100,000 population. COVID-19 was the underlying or a contributing cause of 377,883 deaths (91.5 deaths per 100,000). COVID-19 death rates were highest among males, older adults, and AI/AN and Hispanic persons. The highest numbers of overall deaths and COVID-19 deaths occurred during April and December. COVID-19 was the third leading underlying cause of death in 2020, replacing suicide as one of the top 10 leading causes of death (6). -
PFF ranks offensive play callers: Daboll 2nd in league
Doc Brown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Reid and Payton should be in their own tier at 1 and 2. Daboll definitely propelled himself into the top 5 though. I’ve never seen a Bills OC scheme guys wide open like Daboll did last year.
