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  The 5 days a week 8 hour work day model is inefficient and outdated...in addition to having to show up to work for all of those hours.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

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
