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.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
