SectionC3

Curious if you agree with this. I watched the game with my kids (very small and very distracting), so maybe I'm off here. But I though TB's safeties were diagnosing quickly and flying downhill. Saw it a bit from Poyer against KC, but not as much from Hyde. I thought that helped. (Of course, the big difference was a couple of game wreckers on the TB DL and linebackers that played out of their minds.) Also, looking at that heat map makes me miss Jordan Phillips. Better interior DL would have really helped us against them.

This is one of the best posts that I have ever read on an Internet message board. Well done.

Good to know. Agree that masks and distancing along won’t be enough. Vax, therapeutics, effective and cheap rapid testing and common sense behavior (moving to Zoom, limiting tube commutes, etc.) all are key.

I didn’t see a complaint there. Only an observation. Turns out you’re as bad with diction as you are with treatments for infectious disease. Sad.

There’s truth to this. In NYS, the defense was absolutely appropriate at the outset of the pandemic. Now, defense is still warranted, but maybe in a more surgical or thoughtful fashion. The recent NYSSCT cases in Erie County illustrate as much; the science behind some of the closure policies is either lacking or non-existent. You and I part ways on the masking issue, I suspect. I think therapeutics are important to functioning in a post-COVID world (maybe you heard CNBC this morning; issue came up). But I firmly believe distancing and masking are essential until we get closer to critical mass vaccination and concomitant herd immunity.

I’m not ready to put too much stock into Williams. Want to see him in a different context (i.e., against a team that hadn’t been run over and quit). But your point about non-power 5 gold is an excellent one and well taken. Back in the day I did some work with some MLB scouts in Buffalo. They had a “rule of thumb” question about pitchers: what’s the pitch that’s going to get him to the big leagues? The one really unique talent that either of our guys have is Singletary’s balance. But otherwise these guys look like they have 91 mph FBs that can’t support a change with average control and a mediocre breaking ball. Point being, they don’t have the qualities to be difference makers.

I'm with you. I'd rather have an effective banger than a speed guy. I'm not sold on Moss. No pop. Maybe it was the toe injury. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

A Trumper complaining about lies. Interesting.

Great post. The party of Lincoln sold out and became a party of lies. MTG is applauded and Lynn Cheney is censured. Says it all. also, speaking of magical disappearances, trump is gone and we’re still dealing with this virus. So one of them magically disappeared, but the other one ... not so much.

So I shouldn’t send the HCQ gummies, the Lysol, or the bleach. Got it. Kind of surprising, considering how hard you fell for the HCQ hoax. I figured you’d go with the gummies. But I guess not.

Nope. It’s not the most dangerous drug ever. It’s just not an effective treatment for COVID. But some kool aid guzzling Qs still think otherwise.

Lemmings. Ironic.

Historically, yes. This MRNA stuff is a bit different - and pretty cool. Amazing technology.

No, but I wish it was. Sun score is pretty good, but I have a very, very strange roof (the house is pretty modern) and solar is a tough install.

I think that was Trump's idea, but he did it wrongly. Coal is dead. We're not making refrigerators or whatever here anymore. We're better off letting someone else do that at poverty-level wages and importing that type of consumable (crass, I know, but it's the truth). The "new" manufacturing has to be of a "green" nature. Time to reinvent and to educate so we're the world leader in that area for hundreds of years.

Of course, the Canadians smartly knew that we would never let that happen because we wouldn't have wanted the Soviets in Niagara on the Lake.

Maybe we should go back to the days of relying on magic, bleach, and Lysol to try to combat the virus. Also, you spelled Trump Virus wrong. This is a solid point. I'm going to cancel my NYT subscription and get all of my news from OANN, the My Pillow guy/psycho, and MTG. Hoax.

Nope. And also not through Lysol and/or bleach. Also, I'm sorry about your mother. Sincere condolences.

Less bad is still bad. I'm not arguing for a thicker safety net. Hinting at the divide in this country that will grow as a result of the K-shaped recovery. And also concerned about what I saw as a pre-Covid education gap in this country. We're generating classes of people that can either change the world through technology, or who top out at sandwich artistry. The absence of a middle isn't the government's fault, and it's not the government's responsibility to cure. But it will be a boil on society, and it might be something that we should all think about addressing (e.g., by figuring out the education messes in urban areas, etc.).

Hmmm. I didn't say that Trump recommended those things. Nice try. But he did suggest the possibility of such injections to combat COVID-19.

So ironic that a Trump supporter would complain about this. "I have the right to do whatever I want as President!" -then-President Donald J. Trump

One option could simply be less bad than the other.

Why only extremists who practice Islam? Why not any other extremists? .

You and MTG seem to be birds of a feather.

Speaking of hoaxes, how's hydroxychloroquine treatment going these days? Someone I know has COVID, and I was debating whether to send them Lysol and bleach, or some HCQ gummies. Thoughts?
