Is this like an Uncle Rico bit? The 26,000 and counting aren't coming back Uncs, but I feel like I'm missing an obvious joke here. Well to be fair the projections and timelines have been all over the place. It's better than the projections two weeks ago. It's incredibly worse than the projections our government was providing about six weeks ago. Another 2,000+ died today, so it's definitely bad enough.

Quartney? Alright now I kind of want to root for a Quartney

Yeah I totally agree with you, that's why I asked. I've thankfully stayed away from social media but I've been obsessed with this thing since late January. Mainly just watching clips from disease experts and following relatively level-headed discussion. At this point I've had the family locked down for two weeks so it seems likely that we don't have it, so I kind of want to turn everything off and focus on other things, but man it's difficult. I've found this virus to be a total productivity killer, it's hard to focus on much of anything when a historical pandemic is playing out around you.

Do you feel that there's good news that isn't being reported, or are you staying away as more of a mental health thing?

OK that's worse than my worst case scenario. Scary

I'm not exactly following. This is unprecedented territory. What I linked to is pretty awful. I think 300+ US dead per day and counting is already terrible and it will get worse, but I don't think we're going to start murdering each other in the streets any time soon. My community is stepping up big time already with helping the poor, hungry, etc. This is a huge deal, but I don't think society is going to collapse if it continues for months, which it will. We just may not be able to watch some football. Remember, there is no real current food or water shortage despite the grocery store hoarding. That's just idiots hoarding. If people just stay the eff inside and watch some TV we should be able to minimize the impact. Worst case scenario is that it's life for 12-18 months until there's a vaccine.

I know, but my point is that this particular virus is not being suppressed in New Orleans right now, which was 82 degrees today. Unless hundreds of new cases per day is suppression, in which case, yikes.

It's very bad. This is pretty clearly now the worst pandemic since 1918. 268 US deaths so far today, another new high. Also another new high worldwide - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Rough analogy. If this burns through everyone then god help us all. To your question though, China really hasn't done it yet. For starters we can't really trust a thing that China says, and there is evidence that it's spiking there again. South Korea data is solid and truthful it seems however, and they did it through extreme social distancing, and their culture in general is far more apt than ours to band together and listen to authorities. Do you really think we can get all of America to truly shut down simultaneously for 2-3 weeks like they've done in South Korea and Hong Kong? I find it extremely doubtful. We're already talking about the end of this thing and we collectively haven't even really started simultaneous social distancing yet. Florida still doesn't even have a shut down order!

I fear the fact that this thing is now running rampant in New Orleans is evidence that this is unfortunately not seasonal. Warm climates are watching cases explode as well. This very well could be life until there's a vaccine.

Probably better than Senorise Perry. Upgrade everywhere you can.

Wasn't a big fan. Swear he got out of James Conner's way a couple of times in the Steelers game, or he just took atrocious angles.

The fact that we just got a WR that's better than Michael Thomas at anything is incredible. I love everything about this.

Meh, that prospect with 20 posts doesn't like the Addison signing either. C- troll effort.

Lol Randall Cobb? BOB is embarrassing. Maybe he can pull Brandon Lloyd out of retirement too, that should do it.

He'll retire a 49er.

So sick of hearing this. Who knew that 18 wide receivers are immediately guaranteed to have back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons and a better contested catch rate, than the 2nd best in the league? Diggs will put up better stats this year than every single wide receiver in this draft (except, maybe CeeDee Lamb but we weren't getting him anyway).

John Brown just had a career year? I'll gladly take better than John Brown...and John Brown.

Cousins is a dork, I don't like him either.

Because he was unhappy and the relationship frayed and got to the point where it couldn't really be saved. You're right, time will tell, but he's truly just a football player with no off-the-field nonsense who doesn't otherwise display diva tendencies. If he's trashing Josh on Twitter a year from now, then it's a pattern that might fit the head case designation, but at this point I just think he's a guy who needs a fresh start.

Yes, such a head case that he essentially raised his brothers starting at age 14, chose his college based on his proximity to them, is a father now himself, has never been arrested, and a quick Google search shows that he's respected as an incredibly hard worker. If anybody throws around any head case or "diva" nonsense about Diggs they're completely wrong.

It's not personal, I just have no idea who you are, and experts that I've been listening to for weeks now disagree. All real, nonpolitical information that I've been tracking since January, including the awesome and highly recommended John Hopkins tracker site, has shown an incredible rate of infection. That's real - if you're 6-8 feet away from a person with this disease you can catch it. That's insanely concerning. I don't care if the death rate is 0.01%. If 50-70% of the population catches it it's an unprecedented ordeal that none of us have seen in our lifetimes. Except the case fatality rate for this virus is about 3% (6% in Italy, oddly), so why not take this seriously? I'm in Colorado where it has jumped from 8 cases to nearly 40 in about 48 hours, so this is clearly spreading. We've confirmed community spread here. Confirmed community spread of a virus 10x more lethal than the flu? Of course that's concerning. Looking back through this thread though it seems this had a political slant from the start and is not really intended for real conversation about this disease, so I apologize for plugging up the party. So sorry, so sars. Still hope you all wash your hands and consider saying no to the next Goo Goo Dolls concert though.

Thank you. This is an apolitical, Trump-praised dude that works with Trump, so we should all be able to come together now and agree that this is at least 10x worse than the flu, and we should all wash our ***** hands and avoid crowds.

Yeah, no sorry, that's not really how this works. For all you know I'm an infectious disease expert...so you should listen to me. In reality however I'm not going to get my infectious disease advice from anybody on a Buffalo Bills message board. Maaaaaybe if Bud Carpenter had an account. Are you also Bud Carpenter?

What exactly do you gain by dismissing an actual pandemic?
