The flu

I have a doctor friend who tells me the bottom 10% of medical classes become pediatricians.

I've not had the flu in ten years and I'm flu shot free since developing a chicken allergy 20 years ago

never had a flu shot or the flu myself. Outside of migraines (which I rarely get anymore) I do not remember the last time I was sick at all.

I am in my sixteenth year working in elementary schools. I have spent time in several dozen schools in multiple states, spending significant time in nine or ten. Most will tell you to expect to get sick as you get used to a new school's germs but I think they have just conditioned my immune system to be stronger.

At this point I have the white blood cell versions of Luke and TD in there.

That many hours can't help. The body is saying sleep amigo.

They can't complain nearly as much either. But what would he know? He only went to Duke.

My daughter's doctor was the director of the pediatric respiratory illness department at Duke before opening a private practice here on the coast. The other two in house doctors are wake forest and nyu grads with a nurse pratictioner from LSU...so yeah, no.

I think they take into consideration strains that were very prevalent in the southern hemisphere during their winter.

It's kind of a crap shoot. They have to choose between 4 strains several months in advance and even then the effectiveness level is minimal. I wonder if they can flip around their projections to be a little more accurate.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
