The number they are working with IS with taking these drastic actions. That is my point. So with the numbers they are using and then given their assumption... it MAY end up as a severe seasonal flu. That isn't hard to read. I am not claiming their "MAYBE" hypothetical report is wrong... but it doesn't really say anything different.

The good news is that after the whole world isolating and some countries are doing it with military, that we need to take some great assumption "If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%." and then... and only then... will it be similar to a really bad flu? So no, this isn't the same as the normal flu - it takes a lot of measures to make sure it can be in the range of the flu. I don't think there is anything new in this report. Besides that, the final death toll is calculated after the fact. The number always increases. For example: eventually death's will include the normal ICU patients that couldn't get a bed or vent because of all the COVID-19 patients that flooded the system and then that non-COVID-19 patient died from their symptoms.

The other side of the 'not hospital employed' argument is that when you are in a 'you eat what you cut' mode, then you aren't truly out of the model it is accusing the hospitals of using. When a doctor needs to see x number of people to cut even, xy to survive or xyz to thrive (but run a cute rate style of practice) ... What do you think they will do? A salary from a hospital will eliminate that. And allow for planning budgets and growth and move physicians where most needed.

That's true in some respect and I see their point about independence. Yet, I think it obfuscates costs and resources and isn't the best for planning got big events like this.

"We" is a funny term to use here. We are victims of this private insurance game. In Texas, hospitals for the most part are not legally capable of employing the physicians. They have to hire their 501c entity. So ... there is no employment to guarantee payment to the physicians. There is no call the arms to get them working. When the 501c folds from not being able to pay the bills (these 501c groups of multi-specialty groups - so when only one of the specialties collecting, the whole entity will ultimately fail) -- then the hospital will be understaffed even more because they can't hire physicians directly.

Most people are worried about the travel industry and service industries (for good reason), but this is really going to be a killer for hospitals,. All elective procedures (surgeries, etc) are cancelled. Only emergencies are getting scheduled. That means normal money making procedures that fund the rest of the hospital are not happening to balancing out the budget. Paying for the hospital for uninsured ICU patients or patients that will not be able to pay their max out of pocket (when they recover) will lead them to bankruptcy and hospital without a way to pay the bills. It is the equivalent of the MG football team cancelling their season and not collecting the MG scholarships from us donors ... How long do you think softball and soccer could survive?) Already we know some physicians that have their contracts cancelled because they will not be collecting revenue for the next three months at least. It isn't like these physicians can go out and find another gig - since all elective procedures are postponed. So ... what do you do? You lay off your whole staff, you break your lease and close your clinic. I can see a future where a ton of surgery centers, ERs and community hospitals will be shuttering up. I don't see how the surgery center I am invested in will survive two months without revenue. So even in an 'industry' which can 'benefit' from more patients - it has to be the right kind of patient.

Rape jokes are hilarious!!! /s

"based on allegations" - they aren't allegations when he wrote an apology letter to the victim and admitted to it the police. But alas. Here we are, when the same people here offended by people peacefully kneeling during the anthem are cool with a violent rape.

"Legal scholars" - that's rich. https://www.thedailybeast.com/kobe-bryants-disturbing-rape-case-the-dna-evidence-the-accusers-story-and-the-half-confession He apologized because he DID it. Why refused to testify is something she will only know (TTG hit it on the head though). The physical evidence still stands.

All the internet is writing his obit and purposely ignoring WHY he was also so hated. They pass it off as player-hating.

Well that makes a bunch of sense.

I wonder why Choice is back in town. Maybe he still lives in Dallas?

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Every year this is the same conversation. Yet some our top talent goes undrafted and unsigned. Craig Robertson Zach Orr Lance Dundar Jeff Wilson Adrian Awasome Derek Akunne Tobe Nwigwe Booger Casey Fitzgerald ... etc. Every year. Yet we see other schools have players drafted consistently with the same level of play. The QB position is so little drafted, there is no chance for Fine. Maybe the DE spot can be drafted? Man... hard to say.

So meta.

"• Received offers from Maryland, New Mexico, Arkansas State, Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Dartmouth." I mean damn. I (personally) wish he ended up going to Brown, Columbia, Cornell OR Dartmouth. I wouldn't pass up the Ivy league for any amount of DIV I football. But now that he is here, I hope he gets the chance and crushes it.

Fouts. Apogee. MTSU. ULM. ULALA. Arkansas (Fayetteville & Little Rock). Texas. Baylor (old stadium). Tulsa. Kansas State. Arkansas State. SMU. TCU. La Tech. Cal. Clemson. Cotton Bowl. I am certain that I'm leaving out college stadiums. 🤷‍♂️

I saw him on special teams playing. He isn't touching the ball. Their other rbs are having really good years..

I guess you don't follow the religious murder justification terms. 🤷‍♂️

This is the second Christian honor killing of their pregnant sister this week in Texas. There was a Christian honor killing in The Colony a few days back too.

Look at Liberty. Gross.

It's bs

I mean, I don't know what high school girls have to do with this, but agree. Let's just see. I was kind of expecting a hire from a FCS school. This seems better. Maybe I am a victim of my low UNT expectations.. who knows. If we give up 30 pts to Big 12 schools like he did at KU, ok, fine. Not happy, but fine. However let's not give up more than 12 to CUSA schools... Then we are talking.

Is it better to have loved and lost or to have never loved at all?
