  1. Looks like they're trying to rebrand "deplorables" thinking it will work this time.
  2. Yeah, when you go from 1 case to 4, the growth rate is astronomical. Have you been called an idiot today yet?
  3. Sunday Ticket Max is the entire package. There's Sunday Ticket and there's Sunday Ticket Max. Two separate packages. Looks like the people who get the Sunday Ticket promotion have more than just the very basic DTV plans.
  4. If that is the case, then you'll never open up because by nature of the virus the cases will keep growing. That should not be the standard.
  5. To clarify, those are the official White House orders, based on CDC and others' recommendations. The CDC orders were much more prescriptive. Surprised that battle wasn't picked up here by the peanut gallery when the admin kicked back the CDC recommendations after the first pass.
  6. Why do people think it's helpful to add their cackles & shrieks to their tweets of TV programs?
  7. The biggest problem with CDC guidelines is the one size fits all approach for the entire country. That's not feasible even in NYS.
  8. Took a quick look. Those weren't meetings, but REQUESTS for meetings & appearances. None of them were with Trump.
  9. You still haven't defined "operatives"
  10. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Eli Lake more of a skeptic early on?
  11. Just when you thought the responses couldn't get stupider.
  12. It's not untold. It's ignored when it's told, because we're only supposed to have linear thinking in a complex world. People shouldn't forget how Cuomo totally blew off this line of thinking as recently as 2 weeks ago! Hey look at this, finally a correlation to child deaths from WUHAN
  13. Anecdotal evidence on deaths of despair is starting to come in now - suicides are trending up. Spousal & child abuse is up. Every thinking person predicted this and knows it will continue to get worse until the lockdowns end.
  14. For starters, it's a bit disingenuous to throw out Stockholm as a good sample area because its population is less than 1 million. Any reasonable person would think that a population of 975K is close enough for government work. Never mind that the metropolitan Stockholm consists of 2.4 million in a very concentrated area. Homogeneity of the population should be irrelevant for a virus that'` not supposed to respect national boundaries. In any event, Sweden's homogeneity shouldn't be too dissimilar to other Nordics. Finally, it's immaterial that they never shut down to watching the data, because they are a very good sample size to see what happens without a total shutdown. The main difference it seems is their hospitals aren't being inundated, which is the most important statistic to watch in the outbreak. But, in the end, it's very likely that the data points will converge in the shut-down vs no-shutdown countries. The difference will be that Sweden's economy won't be dessimated.
  15. Where in the world are you pulling these numbers from. If anything, all the data suggests that the real mortality rate is closer to 0.5%, and very likely will drop to 0.1% flu rate. What's more important, the at-risk population is much more identifiable than it is for the flu, which makes it easier to try to protect those at risk. If stay at home and social distancing really worked, how in the world do you get 67% of NYC cases from people who were "self-isolated" at home?
  16. Sweden is not tiny. It's more like Canada with heavy population clusters and wide open space everywhere else. Stockholm is fairly dense, and should be a good tell for any major metro area. Why do we need to wait 4 more weeks for the GA result? i read here that a 1-day "spike" in deaths 2 days after some areas open up for business is all the data that they need.
  17. How do you interpret this offer? Simon had a thread on this previously. Maybe you need to have a certain package threshold to get the freebie. We don’t want you to miss a single play this season. With 2020 NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX, you can catch every minute of every out-of-market game every Sunday — on us.
  18. Or more correctly, the data is starting to catch up with reality
  19. Yeah, and the primary grid serves the buildings that will be closed. Good luck providing stable power to the residential neighborhoods 24/7 for the 3 summer months
  20. CA doesn't have the electric grid to support its population sheltering at home during the summer months.
  21. This is the most obvious statement that's clearly eluding most "thinkers"
  22. If you were a subscriber last year, DTV threw in Sunday Ticket for free this year.
  23. Or you can be a grown up about it and still maintain proper distance. Even before the Wuhan virus if someone stopped too close to me on a trail or on a beach, I'd think they're a creep. Maybe that's the advice you should be doling out. Don't be a creep. BTW, please point me to the mountains of research that shows the rates of viral transmission in fully open spaces.
  24. Proximity ignores time. You can be within 10 inches of a jogger who passes by you outside, and have an almost 0% chance of contracting the virus. That's a far lower rate than wearing a mask.
