doesnt matter, they are still wimps and i will FOREVER hate them for closing schools down! ( just being sarcastic BTW)

Ill tell who I am angry at...the wimp ass College Presidents that chose to ruin my first empty nest year and glorious peace of mind by sending my awful children back home. No back bone on any of em!?

so do I . Was traveling last year, layover in Atlanta for a couple hours( damn i could use a nice 2 hour layover in the ATL right about now). Between here and twitter, everyone had the the Thanksgiving game nailed...really nice bartender bet $20, as he could not conceive the NFL would put the Bills on Thanksgiving day, got my Venmo during the flight! Awesome! Why do you guys think this? I think by then we will have learned to deal with the risk, have some other therapeutics etc, so i see no disruption at all. Having said that, Fauci and Birx and other experts have all univesally agreed there will be a "summer break" from the virus, but a second wave will prolly coincide with flu season..which starts in late October. So what does not playing in September gain ? Why start up right when this thing is supposed to return? Said in the other thread, if what Fauci says is true, should start training camp early July, stary season mid August...have contingency plans if need to shut down for 4 weeks in December or soemthing I thnk just the opposite..no way there are NOT fans in the stands

well, you have cooties..so I win!

Yea, I am not buying that at all. But even if that is true, stands to reason those folks will be dropping like flies after sting on their ass eating takout and drinking a twelve pack everyday for 2 months

Just read that post of yours, substitute Trump for China... tell me where I am wrong?

Right out of Trumps playbook to never take responsibility or admit any kind of mistake. China just followed his lead.

We talking Trump or China?

Wait, are you saying heart disease went away? I can see deaths by accident way down. But you think other non contagious illness like heart disease and cancer went away?

Even this twit gets it.

Been rewatching during shutdown. Just started season4.

This poop only gunna last so long.. been nice knowin ya @BringBackFergy,

I think this is going to be a problem till a vaccine is available no matter the approach that is taken. I am 100% convinced the shutdowns were the right play, but think as more knowledge of the infection rates , hospital utilization rates, and morbidity rates become available, we can approach differently. People are gunna die from Covid, thats just the way life goes. How we can manage that to be as small as possible without sending out contry deepr into social unrest and economic peril where these is no recovery is my concern now. I dont know why there cannot be a middle ground where we say " we going back to work, if you are in a high risk category..you can stay home and get paid, and have a guaranteed job when a vaccine is available or herd immunity is reached" . I know, possibly a bureaucratic nightmare, but to me economy gets going again, gives business time to ramp up employment as demand ramps, and lowers unemployment ranks that would more than pay for the high risk group to stay home. I getting up there, worked my whole life and saved like crazy to insure a comfortable retitement, hate to see 35 years worth of work go down the pooper

true..but I think the worry is more about hospitals being overrun than number of people who are positive. Listening to Cuomo the other day he said as part of the plan for NY...will gradually reopen and monitor hospital capacity..if an area gets to 70% capacity or 70% of ICU beds taken, current rules will have to be put back in place. That makes sense to me..a

I am not...was late 20's then. Draft was not then what it is now. Maybe a Street and Smiths if you were flying somewhere, or going in the hospital etc. The focus was no where near what it is now. I will guarantee him playing at Lousiville meant I had no clue who he was, as Louisville ws prolly never on TV.

Today marks 7 weeks of isolation. Running 5 miles a day, no meat, dairy or flour. Eating fresh vegetables and home cooked meals every day. The change has been fantastic! Zero alcohol. A healthy, gluten-free, caffeine-free diet and a 1-hour home workout every day. Lost 35 pounds and gained muscle mass. So I have no idea who wrote this, but I am so proud of them that I decided to copy and paste.

I think hospitalizations are key, as 1) increased hospitilzations would mean outbreak is growing..tests or no tests..2)lack of hospital beds etc will lead to increased deaths I would think You know, thats a great point. I try to do all I can to limit all apps from using location services except when using the app, but realistically, like you said they prolly know my every step anyway.

these are cases no? Or am i reading the charts wrong? If it is cases, i would think as testing becomes more available and quicker, easy to obtain, and more prevalent , cases will grow as fast as the testing grows.Am i wrong there? I believe the more relavnt stat is hospitalizations and morbidity numbers per capita. Again, I may be wrong and welcome thoughts the other way.

Great point on previous years. And i was reading the chart as straight down..which very well may be wrong and your intreptaion correct. Will keep digging a bit as I am bored ! Agree the graphs are very tough to read.

wha??????

good call, did not think of them no way can Marone and Crew survive a tank year..dont see it

Of that no doubt..remember he was pissed they did not trade him at the deadine last year ...timing is just not great for him

Yea, i think he is pretty good as well. Question will be how much will he want vs what the Pats will pay. He may not have much leverage...who else would want him as a starter? I know the Bengals think they are hooking him up by letting him go, but they could have done this at beginning of league year..then the Raiders and Bears maybe would have been in competition for him.

Doc, the problem as I see it is deaths attributed to the Flu have disappeared. A few days ago I posted the weekly influenza report from VA, where I live. Deaths were steadily rising through February and March, and hit 166 statewide deaths on March 23rd. Since that date, not one death has been attributed to influenza. as I mentioned in that post, I am not sure what that could imply or point to, but I am pretty sure the flu did not just go away on March 23rd. in that report as well, the number of influenza and Covid cases were each at just about 13k, 460 (appx) deaths Covid , 2500 flu, granted in much smaller time for Covid. What do this numbers tell us? I am not quite sure , which someone smarter than me could explain it. Here is the report https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/content/uploads/sites/3/2019/12/Weekly-Influenza-Activity-Report.pdf
