Never know, but China, the most populous country on earth is on the downside of their curve and only had 3200 deaths so far.  Maybe he is talking the world?  South America and Africa  and Australia had better be preparing

we're not doing the job china did, or even italy.

Actually, we have not done the draconian things China did, but have reacted much better than Italy.  Lots of the cases we have here in the US is because of Italy and people vacationing there.  Shutting down travel from parts of Asia was smart.  The shutting down from Europe should have been done a week earlier.

I think with each day, more measures could happen here.  Even state to state, never know

That sounds horrible.  It is called "vicarious trauma."  The guy I was watching also said that closing schools:  37% of nurses have children in school....what are they going to do with them? 

I watched my grandmother die by sitting with her, holding her hand, as fluid filled her lungs.  It was 2 days before Christmas.  When I think of Christmas now---that image is one of the first I get.  It is traumatizing.

I would never want to go through that again.  I did not sit with folks like you and Raz but have had similar experiences.  Having people struggling to breath is horrible, absolutely horrible

this is from a couple days ago.  our #'s are pulling ahead of italy's as of today by a pretty good bit.   it doesn't matter where it came from.  you can say that italy is smaller, % of population...   however that actually makes things much more serious in where we are headed

Image result for us italy infection numbers

We have the benefit of hindsight and observation of countries that are ahead of us--so to compare is probably not really fair.  Here is an interesting article about Italy being "ground zero" in Europe:

Did not see that--was the reason they were excluded (and now included) ever rationalized?

testing numbers supposedly

once their numbers started up like other countries, they were placed on the list.

of course, politics and what they tell you have a lot to do trying to save face, so you never know.

reporters asked about rate going up now and gov said, yep, that's why they are going on the ban list too.

never know however

Italy death rate 5.2

US death rate 1.9

Hoping we caught it early based on what we were seeing

I was going to make the point about populations of each...However, in fairness to Italy, they could not learn from other countries (even China at that time) before this thing was on them--we have learned from Italy--I hope.

      Caleb Williams is struggling big time in OTAs

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I'm really trying to give a fug....   Nope...that's  a lie.  I simply Don't give a fug about the bears, Caleb, or the fact we traded with them over a year ago.  All water under the bridge.  With that being said, Caleb is a punk ass rookie, that is in his first OTA in the NFL.  It really doesn't matter how he looks. He's suppose to be learning the system.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I sit here and think, Y'all call me a Homer?  This thread is filled with mostly people on the Extremes.    Ones whom are incapable of believing a group of talented athletes can play well enough together to win.  And ones that fit this description.   In may.  Believe that our offense is going to magically start carrying this team. Which has never happened in the history of this franchise.   You guys have no business calling me a Homer. Seriously.    Now that I have expressed this... let me open up more on This current team than I have to this point  In THEORY, our run defense should be much improved.  Which would in turn, give the defense more opportunities to actually rush the passer.  More than last year anyways.  Once again, in THEORY, our running game should be much improved.   That in itself should benefit out defense, by allowing the offense the opportunity to actually sustain drives.  There isn't a single pass rusher on this team that scares me. Clowney is a pretty good complete defensive end/edge guy.  At no point in his career was he ever considered an elite pass rusher.  Now he's our best pass rusher. After that we have a wanna be journeyman pass rusher, and a lot of unknowns.  Even with more pass rush opportunities on the horizon, how ANYONE can be confident about our pass rush at this moment, just blows my mind.  Going back to offense.  IF our oline can come together, and ve somewhat healthy this year, that will be a miracle in of itself. Thus is coming from a fan whom always says the okine takes time to come together.  He'll, last year they never had the opportunity to come together.   The line was being shuffled from the beginning.  How anyone expected our young left tackle to be even competent when musical chairs was played all season long at the guard positions , blows my mind. Is anyone capable of understanding the impact that has on an oline?  Which in turn impacts the entire offense?  Seriously.   The fact people still want to say they know Young sucks/is a bust after the 1 rookie season behind that miserable attempt of even fielding an offense??? Seriously, what the fug are you smoking? That ain't good poo. You need a better source for your drugs man.  You guys have brain damage.  IF our oline can come together, IF our oline can remain decently healthy, then yes, our offense should, for the first time since Tepper has owned the team, be offensive to other teams!! Our running game should flourish.  Nothing in any generation of NFL is more effective andndangerous than a balanced offense.   While I am somewhat optimistic about what this team as attempting to field this season... I do have my doubts.  I can see how it can come together.  I can also see how it can fail to get traction at all.  Our team should at least be more entertaining to watch for the first time in I don't know how many years.  Maybe I'll actually attend some games this year.  I won't hold my breath.  If our team findsa way to improve to average, that means will win 6 to 9 games.  That's a pretty good improvement for a first year head coach.  Notnsurw how many of our fans would be alright with that. Seems our fans fall into 2 categories.   Superbowl, or tank, I mean don't you dare win 1 damn game, and fug up a high draft pick so we can continue to suck forever!!!! Hmmmm  Seems this post has been all over the place.  And you have the audacity to call me a Homer. 🙄
