Good thing literally every player in the NBA can get tested whether they have symptoms or not. Meanwhile, hospitals are just poo outta luck lol.

Meanwhile when I call into my Dr. Monday after getting sick over the weekend ...

"Fever?"

yes

"Any other symptoms?"

Dry cough.  Tightness in chest but I'm not having trouble breathing.

"have you traveled?"

No

"have you been in contact with someone that has covid19?"

I don't think so.  How would I know?

"Ok. Stay home unless you start having trouble breathing.  Then go to ER."

….

 

I get it.  I'm young and have a great chance of living through it.  Fever is already gone.  Still have a dry cough.  Chest still has discomfort to it.  Just assume I have it and quarantine myself.  Take over a room of the house and stay away from the rest of the family. I haven't slept beside my wife in 5 days.  Haven't held my children in 5 days.  Wife trying to handle poo outside the room well everything's going to hell.  But she's shown no symptoms.  So I can't just assume she's got it too.  It would have been nice to have test done.  Confirm it one way or the other.  I'd love to fuging know if my family I've been around the last 2 weeks that are high risk need to be tested.  Should of just lied and said yeah I traveled. Whatever. I'm rambling and venting.

 

Day 5 of self quarantine:

I've begun to lash out on a computer screen.  fug me.

Where are the “Nothing to see here “ folks now? This is a disease that comes about once in a 100 years. There are too many people playing politics instead of heeding warnings. America has got to do something about its tainted news sources, as it is costing us lives. News sources that cater to a political party should be forced to label themselves entertainment, and leave the word news for unbiased reporting stations that report fact not conjecture or propaganda.

If this take is correct, we're just plain good and proper fuged. We can't go on lockdown for 18 months and still have an economy to comeback to. I don't think society would have it anyway. There would be massive social unrest.

We better hope that there can be some successful anti-virals found and a vaccine fast tracked. Because that paints a picture that would probably make the Great Depression look like a soft quarter in comparison.

There is no real 'fast-tracking' of a vaccine - it will be at least a year before anything has the data available to at all support a conclusion of safety and efficacy, and even then that in itself represents a fast track through standard drug trial requirements. There's just no way around it

don't be sucked into believing its the people's fault for not heeding warnings.     also fox news is listed at entertainment.  got out of a lawsuit for 70% of the information they spew on a daily basis being lies - because they are classified as entertainment.

I’m not blaming anyone, I’m simply stating that our news sources have an agenda, and it is not the will or protection of the people, it is to serve their political affiliations over public health.

That’s not entirely true. Fox News aside the MSM has been warming of this virus since it hit China. It was our people and government that chose to ignore it until it was to late. Than again not having a pandemic response team to act proactively instead of reactively really screwed us.

China controlled it in 2 1/2 months after they let the cat out of the bag. But they have known about since late November early December. We started in earnest mid March. So we are probably looking at May/June. The issue being a cold is they usually come raging back in fall/winter worse than the year before.

Actually, let me give a bunch of these, since most people are dumb enough to get their news through social media or TV media.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
