Part of it was South Korea's ability to invade their citizens privacy even more than google or apple does ours. If you tested positive they immediately went through bank and phone data to determine where you had been, and then immediately quarantined anyone you had close contact with. They had all 31 cases completely contained when patient #31 took his dumb ass to a mega church and infected hundreds more.

Per capita? Try Germany, Japan or South Korea on for size. All examples of denser countries that show what actual leadership and prevention does before allowing thousands to be infected. Speaking of comparisons between Rhode Island and Texas, we're 49th per capita in testing per our awesome governor that wants to open hair salons back up. Even with China lying about their numbers, we're still going to probably end up with more deaths, and the virus had a 6 week head start on China before anyone was even entirely aware of it. It's weird that the same camp of people screaming to open up the economy also cry that China's numbers are fake. So which is it, a harmless bug that only affects the most vulnerable and we can all go about our daily lives with little restriction, or is it a deadly contagion that wiped out a million people over a few months time?

Can't argue with that, allowing the U.S. to lead the world in infections and deaths is "doing something" by definition.

Damn, that's like 7 Benghazis.

It's way worse than the flu in the harder hit states. The first death in the U.S. occurred on February 29th, and in 50 days there's 39,000 deaths even with a good bit of the country shutting down or practicing social distancing. New Jersey is reporting 10% of cases require hospitalization, 10 times worse than the flu.

I'm old enough to remember when Rick absolutely lost his ish at Obama when literally one guy died from Ebola a few years back. I guess 30,000 people when the president has a R next to his name doesn't quite incite the same disappointment in his leaders.

I can't read for you man, you're on your own there.

It is in this case. Also, police do stupid things all the time. He did, and your attempts at humor are almost as terrible as mike huckabee's.

Nice deflection, do you think it's good when the president tweets for citizens to take up arms against their state government?

yeah for the life of me I can't figure out which of those is worse...

very cool to have a president openly calling for insurrection against state governments. very cool and fine.

Remember the press conference that trump made to artificially pump up the stock market a month ago? Yeah, just a huge load of sh-t like usual. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/13/832797592/a-month-after-emergency-declaration-trumps-promises-largely-unfulfilled

This is just a gross misrepresentation of what those two numbers mean, so you're either BSing because you have no defense or you don't seem to understand how models work. You know I didn't get a look at this thread until yesterday and I notice how you went from being worried based on your job to simply taking all your cues from conservative talking points. Pretty funny to see, honestly.

Or Not.

Lance having a really good game today, about to help win it for the Renegades.

They won't turn into world beaters overnight but with his resume I can totally see them pulling off some good upsets against the SEC West in the next couple of years. Anything that gets that division and conference more parody is good in my book.

Same reason a lot of them do - a timeslot on ESPN to fill.

These days college soccer is becoming less and less relevant on the men's side with MLS academies getting into full swing.

wish we coulda kept soccer tho

those replies are cancer

I know TBD applies to the actual date and the time, but I figured the weeks and the location were accurate.

4 home games in a row? Better take full advantage of that.

A single game?

6-6 is disappointing but jesus what a miserable bunch we got on this board.
