CUSA said they would make a decision Friday (today) - were continuing on until then.

Markeith Knowlton was a monster. He and Buckles were incredible... Markeith has the speed though.

Great for him!

Same for both of these. Even today, I couldn't have told you where Roger went to school...

huh?

Same boat here. I thought the total was higher... hopefully we get there next year.

I wish we had 844 people donating that extra $4000 a year to qualify for black parking! My good pal was in the black last year and doesn't donate at the level required - not sure how he got it assigned that spot. The box seats only get a certain high level parking passes based on their donation - the rest of their guests get the commoner parking. Under RV it was the total donations over a lifetime that got you in the pecking order for parking and not the yearly re-upping.

This is their gimmick as of late. The black lot is no way sold out based on the MGC donation levels printed in the gameday magazine they give out. A separate topic indeed - but I find it very used car salesmen of them.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/06/politics/jordan-osu-wrestlers-strauss-invs/index.html The D or R doesn't matter - it is about former wrestlers accusing Gym Jordan of a cover-up of college athletic abuses. Which is where TTG's comment stems.

...and definitely home insurance would not payout your claim if you actively took away the ability to detect and handle wildfires (like Trump did in 2018 with the Pandemic Response Team).

There are two people talking and it is being portrayed as "Sweden said.." Just like the anti-masker/hoax side saying that Sweden is saying to not wear masks - that is not what the health minister is saying at all. And I think the Prime Minister is the one saying they should have done it differently - since it had a huge impact on their elderly.

I mean, this is true and all, but it isn't really how it is portrayed. They are saying they aren't recommending a mask policy YET, because they are not spiking. Their message was from the start - this is serious - this is our plan - and they had mandatory spacing requirements and limited the mass gathers to sub 50. They thought that was enough... they did NOT go full UK and just try to force their way through it. This is the most important part: "It seems 80% of the people, when asked, ‘Are you following the advice of the agency?’ responded, ‘Yes, we are following the advice of the agency.'" If you have 80% compliance on a NATIONAL policy - you are doing great! Sweden does not *really* earn the laissez faire title honestly... they had a policy, just more liberal. They had guidelines in keeping schools open, it wasn't the wild west like Georgia.

Pretty funny line in there with the US demanding lower prices, then complaining the those socialist medicine systems unfairly demanding lower prices first. Pretty soon the conservatives may sound like the liberals. I will welcome that.

This has all been covered already - but you are incorrect. Sweden and UK are the gold standard for this experiment. UK gave up quickly because of their mortality rate. Sweden stayed on course and suffered the *same* economic troubles as all the other EU nations, but had a much higher death toll. Herd immunity on a massive scale requires a vaccine. Are you walking around maskless and just skirting all the recommendations? If you are following recommendations that are in place now - you are part of the solution. We see the Dallas County numbers declining at the expected rate and if we keep the mask mandate and gathering restrictions in place - we will be open and running again soon enough. If not and we keep playing these games about how many people will survive an minimizing the actual risk - we will continue to not control the pandemic. You example of the stage 4 cancer death is just asinine. You know that is not the norm. It is setting up a strawman and then attacking that. Yesterday was a good day in Dallas - two people in their 40's dead. one person in their 60's. One in their 90's: https://twitter.com/JudgeClayJ/status/1291100793039396867/photo/1 Tuesday was not a good day - 31 dead. 2/3rds of those were below your threshold of when it matters if you live or die: https://twitter.com/JudgeClayJ/status/1290757479232679944/photo/1

Do you think had the leadership from the top down been serious with their words (while sorting out action) -- you would have bought in earlier?

Absolutely.

With all due respect, he likely already knows you feel this way, so any legitimate answer would be met with a slew red arrows. But we can't go back in time and stop the deaths, but we can stop playing the games that led to the deaths - China virus talk, casting doubt on the medical experts, distraction tactics with police forces and rogue mayors, saying we will open at all costs, making states compete with one another for private resources, insider profiteering, pumping up medicines to boost Trump's ego, "contact tracing is a plot by the government to track you" , casting doubt on the CDC, pressuring CDC to change recommendations and the general "it is what it is" attitude. We need a national strategy - period. This hodge-podge of state tactics for a national pandemic is not working. But for real - if you don't find some of the above accurate criticism, then there is nothing we can do. But alas, we have 50 pages of covid talk on that one thread already. 🤣

This guy? With the best words? Yo! Semites!

Yep. If you breath in the COVID aerosol and it is in your sinuses ... they will not hurt you. But you can still spread them by sneezing them into the air. Same for washing your hands - you would still want to practice the same hand washing procedures to stop spreading any covid even though it won't harm you.

Most vaccines need a booster because the efficacy wears off over time. COVID will be no different. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/adult.html We don't need volunteers to test inoculation - since there are over 4.5M US citizens that have already tested positive. There are studies on plasma treatment, immunity and all of that. Even once you are vaccinated and don't catch a virus, you can still spread the virus - which is why recovered patients need to wear a facemask. It is stop the spread to others, not about them not getting it. That is really what the facemask is supposed to stop - the aerosol from that person getting into the air. Even if the RNA isn't going to hurt the person with immunity (via short term live immunity or vaccine), it will still possibly be in their sinuses can ready to spread in the air. I hope the anti-vaxxers don't come out in force. I know our top leader of this country has voiced his anti-vaxx stances in the past.

Let's look at the death report from Dallas yesterday: https://twitter.com/JudgeClayJ/status/1290757479232679944/photo/1 From 20's to 90s. Majority are way under your 85 year line in the sand. The death rate is an odd thing to watch. As the scientists and medical communities study treatments and therapies - the death rate will trend down. That is just fact. However, after they go and tally deaths after this is over, the rate will go up again, but not to the original death rate it saw in Itally and Spain -- which is where the original estimates were coming from. But again, as we learn more, we discover the other effects of COVID for those that didn't die and had minor symptoms. CDC released the finding on long term symptoms: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6930e1.htm Doctors are reporting very irregular clotting in covid patients - which goes along with the sky rocketing cardiac events this year: https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/autopsies-indicate-blood-clots-are-lethal-in-covid-19-67727 Mortality and major complications for elective surgeries for people post-covid: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31182-X/fulltext "Pulmonary complications occurred in 577 (51·2%) of 1128 patients; 30-day mortality in these patients was 38·0% (219 of 577), accounting for 81·7% (219 of 268) of all deaths" So the point is - I wish people would stop being so quick to say that symptoms are minor - it only kills old people. We just don't know quite yet the long term. Will there be generation of adults that die from pulmonary complications in their 50s because they played youth soccer or college football? No one is saying to stop living or live in fear, but may some activities can be put on the sideline until we get a vaccine and and learn more about this crazy virus.

I was just pointing out how wonderful the Papa John's former CEO is. Lovely guy. I watched the Herman Cain clip a couple days ago too... Somehow Godfathers Pizza stayed in business with ACA! Despite all the consternation.

You will have < 20% decline in person students. That is not huge. In a class of 30 - you will have 25 present. How will the school handle hallways? Will the class switches be staggered to allow for the hallways/stairwells to be less dense? That picture above is pretty scary for anyone that believes how the virus transmits. Obviously GA seems to be playing by a different set of rules - with the governor outlawing mask mandates.

He and Obama. HBD.

I keep being told that businesses are the best at minimizing cost and maximizing profit. I am sure they will work it out. Maybe I will keep my beer if they just make the portions smaller to keep the price the same. Done deal. I remember during the ACA debates how Papa John's (racist) CEO complained that he would have to raise the price of a pizza by a dollar to cover his employees for full insurance. He used this as some justification that people would revolt and be angry -- but the internet had the opposite reaction. They were like "duh! I'd pay a dollar to make sure the dude handing me my pizza would have insurance. What kind of asshole are you?!"
