Corona Virus

For those who still don’t take this seriously or fail to understand the meaning of exponential growth and how quickly we’re going to get engulfed by this virus. Consider the following parable about exponential spread.

"You have a pond of a certain size, and upon that pond, a single lilypad. This particular species of lily pad reproduces once a day, so that on day two, you have two lily pads. On day three, you have four, and so on.

Now the teaser. “If it takes the lily pads 48 days to cover the pond completely, how long will it take for the pond to be covered halfway?”

The answer is 47 days. Moreover, at day 40, you’ll barely know the lily pads are there”


At the rate we’re going half of our country will have the virus in about 8 weeks.  I hope our government will do what’s necessary to force people into isolation and flatten the curve so our hospitals can handle those who are really sick

Just to change the tone a bit, what is everyone doing since we can't go out?

My wife, son and I rented terminator dark future friday.  It wasn't as bad as I heard. On saturday, I did some yard work.  Then we got out took a long walk, grilled some chicken, and then she watched a movie on The Filipino Channel, while I watched the old movie Battle of Britain.  Today it was another walk, and reading a book that I bought (and planned to read at the beach this week), Countdown to DDay, which gives the german perspective of the buildup to the Normandy invasion

Too much yard work for one.  Sore all over.  Gravel, mulch, block are no longer pretty in my eyes.

Too much eating at home.  Should have grilled some.  Trying to do business online but that is kinda tough when everyone else is doing yard work or reading about WWII :)

I have some marble chips to spread around a flower bed.  And a fire pit to build in the back.  Not really looking forward to either of those.  Can't use the "we are going out" excuse any more either.

I have been staying with family while recovering. We have been watching  A lot of movies lately.  I need to get my Xbox delivered here so I can start getting online because I’m sure tons of people are playing online games now

If you go, be sure to take hand soap and bottled water to wash hands.  Restrooms are closed

I went with my friends to shooting range and spoke to sales clerk... he said they have never been so busy... people are buying weapons like crazy and manufacturers cannot produce bullets fast enough.  They are on back order for hollow point bullets.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
