ha beat me to it!

Exactly. To say what is happening currently "doesnt matter" is just a cheap and easy (and invalid) way out of a conversation they know they can't win. WRT the nursing homes. It's not good, but mistakes happen. Especially when dealing with little info, and little help from the leaders above (Feds) who once again abandoned the American people. The important part is seeing the mistake and correcting it as quickly as possible. Just like we teach children, admit your mistakes and address them to get them fixed. Seems some adults could use that lesson as well. As opposed to being 4 months in, having plenty of information, and still choosing to do the wrong/dangerous thing.

Appropriate:

The biggest city in the country got hit hard and first, when everyone was still trying to figure out what was going on, on their own after being all but abandoned by the Federal Government. Since then, NY has got COVID under control, while we are spiraling further into chaos with no end in sight, and the Governor is spending time and resources suing mayors for implementing mask requirements. Our ICUs are still at capacity, and case numbers are still growing. NY leadership steered the state out of a bad situation. GA leadership is putting the pedal to the floor, driving right into that bad situation.

Thumbs up for seeing the term "sig figs" used. Blast to the past, for sure.

This literally proved he didnt do that. WTF?

I love your optimism, but semi-concerned about being in denial. I agree that "good" majority needs to stand together and squelch that bad minority of racists. I think that's what we're seeing across the country the last few months. Again, I think we're seeing that happen.

What's a tiny majority?

Big Gulps, huh? Welp, see ya later!

Whaley was GM for 4 years, and in that time had 3 Head Coaches and 4 Defensive Coordinators to draft for. And none of the DCs ran even close to the same scheme as the previous. I wont do a ton of arguing for Whaley as the results are what they are, but he never had a chance of succeeding with the way this organization was run.

Witchcraft! It is a universal law of physics that any home project will require at least 2 runs to the hardware store. 1 to get what you think you need, and at least 1 more to get what you really ended up needing.

Fine, 0 stylist-to-client transmissions!

Yeah, whenever I need a taste of those days I just go to this youtube

I thought it was Deshaun Watson? Either way, he finally would have made a decent QB pick. But I cant fault McD for blocking any QB picks regardless of who was there. Everyone knew Whaley was on his way out and a new GM was on their way in, so not fair to saddle the new GM with a Whaley QB pick. Nor would I stake my first-time coaching job on a Whaley QB pick if I were McD. Outside of that 2014 team with Marrone, I agree. Especially when it comes to the coaching support. Pete Carroll had Wilson Athletics make them custom footballs without laces because he saw Russell liked getting the ball out quickly, and wanted him to learn to do it without needing to find the laces first. Does anyone think Marrone/Hackett were going that in-depth in their development?

@LB3, you get a chance yet?

I've never stopped feeling it. I can literally remember what it felt like smashing my face into the rug after Norwood missed that kick. That's enough.

Yeah, who needs real leadership with low case and death numbers which will lead to a faster re-opening? We're good with just letting people needlessly die here in GA! Lockdown to 2022!

They can do that since Georgia is handling COVID so well. https://www.wjcl.com/article/cases-deaths-rising-in-georgia-state-sees-its-2nd-deadliest-day-since-pandemic-began/33390530

Kinda related. In some of our own American-style "testing", some good news here: https://www.livescience.com/hair-stylists-infected-covid19-face-masks.html 2 hair stylists had Corona. They saw 139 clients. Both the stylists and the clients all wore masks. 0 transmission. Wear your masks.

You are free to believe the conspiracy theory over the hard data. It's what makes this country so... "great". I mean, look at how great it's going currently.

Even if it is "somewhere between" that means we're under-reporting by 25,000 instead of 50,000. Still not good. Cool, so balance that out with the numbers on the other side, and we're still vastly under-reporting. edit: finally got past the paywall in an Incognito tab. That article references a rumor stated on the Laura Ingraham show about what hospitals MIGHT do to try to get more Federal funding. It doesnt say they are. We all understand the concept of why they might, and that it is a conservative talking point.

That is an easy assumption to make and exactly why the rumor gets proliferated. But all the data shows the opposite. That other causes of death are up by 300-400%, which would indicate Corona is being vastly under-reported. The data is right there for your eyes to look at, whether you want to believe it or not. If anything, social distancing should REDUCE the pneumonia numbers as well.

Still havent watched "The Four Falls of Buffalo", definitely wont watch the 2020 doc.

And that is just Pneumonia Here's a chart comparing "Unknown" cause of death over the last 5 years: Here's a chart comparing "Natural Causes" cause of death over the last 5 years: Weird how so many more people are dying due to these causes this year, isnt it? Seems like we are over-reporting on almost every typical cause. Which would indicate under-reporting of Corona.
