Nursing homes in Charlotte reporting multiple cases.  It will get worse.

Asymptomatic folks who work there probably bringing it in and not realizing it.  Hate it for the folks who just are there waiting to be infected.

True.

NYC metro area is very densely populated and to be honest, I don't know what anyone could do with that place.  There is not an arms length of space as everyone is on top of each other.

CA and TX have done a decent job trying to keep folks away from each other for the populations they have.  Houston is a very large city.  Saying is, that when you are in Houston, your are still 2 hours from Houston.  At least they are spread out, hoping it makes a difference.

Mardi Gras just did New Orleans no favors

I’ll say one thing, if this thing leads to remote work becoming much more common, people are going to leave these big cities in droves. Rural areas are going to see a big population increase.

The high cost of living, taxes, and now increased risk of death, will not make these areas worth it.

Probably a few families might relocate, but Americans have a knack of forgetting things pretty quickly.  For better or worse....

No doubt we could have handled it a lot better.  I certainly didn't mean to excuse the things our government did or did not do.  But South Korea certainly had a much easier situation to deal with. 

Geographically yes, it is much easier for South Korea to isolate itself. 

Based on the extreme density of South Korea's population, no.  South Carolina has one tenth South Korea's population.

South Korea's population density is much greater than what we have outside of our top two or three cities. 

50 million people on a relatively small peninsula means that if the Koreans hadn't reacted quickly to the virus it would have been uncontrollable within a matter of days. 

If New York City had been as decisive and well prepared as South Korea there is every reason to believe they'd have fared much better.

People don’t move to NYC because they can’t wait to work in an office building.  If they can work remotely within NYC they will stay, especially without a boss breathing down their neck all day.

To me this is the shining light at the end of the tunnel as boomers leave their executive positions and millennials start taking over.  The 5 days a week 8 hour work day model is inefficient and outdated...in addition to having to show up to work for all of those hours.  I'm hoping at least SOME remote work will become the new normal.  I could definitely see my company allowing remote work on Friday's once the VP becomes President (he's a younger guy).

To all my Republican friends, please, please find a political candidate that has passed the third grade. It is painful to watch the Trump administration throw sh!t at the American people to see what sticks. I hate talking politics but reading our fan base backing this idiot is disturbing. I don’t care what side of the isle you live on, if you can’t see that this President is an idiot and a buffoon, I have some ocean front property in Nebraska I can sell you. Trump will forever be the worst president in American history. I completely blame this administration for what is happening with us today. He could have prevented the entire fiasco. American people have died and will continue to die, to protect Trumps pride and inability to lead. Moving forward, we must be smart and choose a leader that can lead this country, not destroy it. Flame away.

Crazy talk invites you to the TB.  They will love and embrace you there.  Harbingers will open the door for you, find you a chair and feed you nonstop truth from Twitter.

Do you have anything to say beyond hysterical talk?  "could have prevented Covid 19"  That's a good one.  Trump says he's the best, you say he's the worst.  Again, the truth is well between these two crazy talking points.  Twitter will be your roadmap.......to nowhere

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
