So then influenza is a far greater threat than COVID-19? Because the worldwide annual  estimates for influenza deaths are 250-700k per year. 

I assume that means that is worse than COVID-19 by your logic, right? 

dude, never go full retard.    (and yes, i do realize i've done just that many times)

This just started dude. How are you not getting this? The major problem with covid 19 is that asymptomatic people have heavy viral loads and it is more contagious then the flu, swine flu SARS or Mers. 
 

children get infected and barely have any symptoms. They are super spreaders. Why are countries completely shutting down around the globe like its wartime. You are being naive as hell.

It just started? You mean like.....when it was discovered roughly 2.5 months ago? SARS lasted about 7 months. MERS lasted about 7 months. Already trucking towards the halfway point if those are anything similar(which SARS appears to be). 

It is more transmissible than SARS or MERS(based on initial information from China) but FAR less deadly. 

Take the time to look at the mortality rates of all of these diseases. COV19, SARS, MERS, influenza(pick your variety) they all tend to have SIMILAR spikes in mortality to the SAME general demographics(which some obvious variations). 

So, if you are in a high risk demographic, you should be very worried. If you are NOT in a high risk demographic, you should be very CAUTIOUS. See the difference?

Kungfoodoodoo or whatever his name is...probably works at like Discount Tire and dude is over rattling off a medical research opinion like he is the Surgeon General - I don’t even know if I’d trust the SG’s opinion on this matter because he looks like he may have been compromised by trump.

Where is your medical degree from? 

I don't have to have a medical degree to literally read the information from the CDC and WHO. I am guessing you need that degree to make sense of simple instructions/information? Why doesn't that surprise me.

Well we could discuss UNC's last place ACC finish. At least you should have some insight into that.

What happens if 150 million people get infected and it has a death rate of 1%? Is that not significant to you? Then on top of that what about the people that don’t die of the virus but die because they can’t get care at the hospital. Those death rates won’t even be counted. What death toll is insignificant for you? 
 

in France 50% of the people in ICU’s are under 50. That should scare you. 
 

im hoping you are right and we just see a big spike and then it goes away but literal scientists are warning that this is gonna get really really bad.

two ER doctors are in ICU in Seattle from it already. Our healthcare system could collapse.

1% of 150 million people is not significant to me. There are roughly 8 billion people on this planet. Anything shy of about 10-15% mortality rate I do not find PERSONALLY significant(this is my personal opinion and I am very sure not shared by many). Especially when that rate does not happen in my demographic.

People are also flocking to ICU's because they are very scared about this pandemic. Even people without this virus at all are because they are SCARED. Why do you think I am preaching to be reasonable? I have a stuffed up nose and a little bit of a scratchy throat, should I book it down to the ER to get tested because it's coronavirus or maybe look at the vehicle outside covered in pollen and just take an educated guess which is more likely the cause?

I am also hoping that I am right, I personally BELIEVE I will be correct and I don't want to see spikes in mortality rates. I don't believe our healthcare system is on the verge of collapsing, although it could be if undue panic spreads(and why in the world would people flock to one of the highest risk areas for infection like THE HOSPITAL??). Why do you think I keep preaching the need for being levelheaded? If panic spreads rapidly then you really are going to see widespread issues with the healthcare system. As it turns out(yet most Americans refuse to believe), we DON'T have a great healthcare system in this country. 

Again, be CAUTIOUS, don't be STUPID, but don't PANIC either. Neither of those two is going to be helpful.

Get it together y'all. This is getting close to being sent to the TB. Take your personal sniping there. No one else cares about y'all's dick measuring contest.

I'll just add him to the ignore list. I only kept him around because I like to see him freak out and defend UNC without using any logic. I won't engage further.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time
    • SmokinwithWilly
      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
