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

Saturday I took the family on the blue ridge pkwy and had a picnic.  Was great

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.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • 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…
