I work in healthcare. The mask shortage is real with no end in site. The CDC back down on the type of mask that should be used for positive patients. It used to be N95 masks that are actual filters. CDC now states regular surgical masks are OK. Front line staff are being told if they do receive a N95 that it’s OK to reuse. That is new based on the shortage. Front line staff are scared for themselves, coworkers and family. Let alone the other patients we take care of that are hospitalized during this. Not protecting those treating these patients will only infect them which will lead to massive staffing shortages.

It’s a huge issue. If we started testing when the first cases hit the US, we could have better controlled this. Quarantining everyone is actually less useful than quarantining only those who test positive. Also, the ability to test helps verify actual hotspots to decide where to best utilize what resources we have. And everyone needs to keep in mind, as testing does begin we will see a huge spike in numbers. No need to freak out about that as it is not indicative of rapid spreading, just indicative of knowing who actually is positive. Sustained testing will allow us to actually track how the virus is spreading and being successfully slowed/stopped. Edit: what’s truly scary also is that healthcare workers are not being tested. Being told if symptomatic, must report to work. I understand that there is only a finite healthcare workforce. But sending workers who are positive to care for others will only serve to incresse the spread.

Alcohol Watching Breaking Bad. Again.

I’d take Gordon on a 1 year big contract. May just satisfy him in this market. We obviously are not looking at just making the playoffs this year. He’d be a great addition.

No. Dudes a headache.

Beane killing it! Draft will be mostly offense and a DB. Going for it this year. 100%

Crazy time we are in. I work health care and it’s scary the shortage of equipment for caregivers. Feel those at the bedside are putting their lives at risk to care for sick patients. Worst part is, it’s only just begun here. Will get worse before it gets better. I did PM you.

I agree. Although loved the other Phillips and loved to keep him

Dang. Beane will find a replacement, and add.

Honestly, could still see him end up in NE. Won’t celebrate until he signs elsewhere.

Coronavirus is a catch all for the type of virus it is, speaks to the shape of the virus. COVID 19 is the type of Coronavirus. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/types.html

Shopped Tops today. Lot about 2/3rds full. No TP, Diet Coke, frozen veggies or chicken. Bread aisle decimated. Otherwise, pretty much everything else. Even had Clorox wipes (not many). Deli fully stocked. Gonna be a long few months.

Suggs got himself released and tried to get back to the Ravens because they were the odds on favorite for the Super Bowl. Look how that turned out.

Yep. click on the pic in instagram and their names are tagged.

Had the $5/month after my original free subscription ran out. Went to renegotiate and they gave me nothing. Right before summer of last year. Wanted to be able to stream while outside so I ended up getting a decent deal, but not great. Believe it was somewhere in the $16/month range for service. Also ended up paying an additional $8/month for streaming on any device. I called at some point to discuss my bill and found out that streaming was now included. Yet, they were charging me the additional $8/month for streaming. Was charged like this for 3 months. Talked to a supervisor who refunded me the $24 for streaming and gave me a full year for $99.bucks for XM Select, best I could do. better than paying full price.

Jim Kelly signed for 5 years 8 million. Made him the highest paid NFL player at the time. Amazing we feel 6 million isn’t a lot anymore.

Won’t play unless McD feels he can get the job done. 6 Million isn’t a contract that makes you play someone. If it doesn’t work out, cut him. Played his best under this defense. Should prove to be an asset whether he starts or not.

Posted there, same name. BBMB had its moments. Problem was you had to sift through a lot of crud to get to the good stuff. This site is better in many ways - no 16 different threads for the same topic, more insightful discussion, a lot less hot garbage.

What if Shanny called the timeouts before half and at least got a FG? Could been a different game. I don’t see the Niners in A “win now” situation. Good team, young QB. Just can’t see them being “all in” on brady.

I don’t doubt scheme has a lot to do with how a player preforms, look at Jerry Hughes. I don’t entirely blame wrong scheme on Clowney, feel he has not given it his all consistently. Would it be better to re-sign Shaq than go after Clowney? Younger guy, with much upside? Seems they have had similar young careers.

I don’t doubt he’s good. I feel he could have been better since he came in the league.

Don’t want to pay the big, big money for inconsistency.

I felt the same way. Hate guys like him. Feel they turn the jets on in contract years just to score the big payday. Not comfortable he’d do what is needed to be consistently great.

Would make sense. They were on the verge with Tannehill, Brady couldn’t do worse.

Depends on what Garrett’s offense is. Most offenses are similar, terminology differs. Don’t know he’d want to go somewhere with a brand new HC, regardless if he knows him or not.
