I'm wondering how much of the online stuff will become "the new normal" going forward.  Be it school, work, etc.

I think a lot of businesses could drop the brick and mortar for the remote employee, especially in the service industry. Businesses will be adjusting their business continuity plans from here on out. Why not just pay for the employees internet and communication devices and drop the store front, it just makes too much sense.

As someone who currently is required to go into work.  What you are asking for is impossible. 

 

Correct.  And that's exactly what some people are attempting to do, create an absolute impossible standard for going back to life.  In the end its about assessing, mitigating and accepting risk.  We've done it our entire lives, and will continue to do it for the rest of our lives.

Yeah fug you.  Those are real answers to your questions.

1. We will take all precautions we can.  Ill wipe the floor with you if you try to paint me as some profit motivated capitalist only concerned with our bottom line. The health and well being of the folks who work under me are paramount to me.

2. You making assumptions about how contagious I think the virus is is just you being an ass and trying to score internet points.  I closed our offices 2 weeks before the state mandated it and 1 weeks before we knew one of our owns family was afflicted by COVID-19. I/we knew how bad this was.

1. So why does it have to be one extreme or the other?  Can someone who's not a greedy capitalist only concerned about money still make a rational decision about getting back to their life?  I guarantee you they can.

2. I didn't make an assumption about how contagious YOU think the virus is.  You have made a decision based on your own judgement.  I'm pointing out that there are those out there, some with very loud microphones, who have painted this thing as something that its not.

Yeah but this is a new disease and a large part of America can’t wade themselves past click bait headlines designed for maximum shock value.

I agree.  People need to step back, take a deep breath, read the data for themselves and make sure to always remember that the media makes more money the more they can scare people.  They are loving this right now.  They are also heading the charge on moving the goalposts, and some people are playing right along with it.  I'm happy to see people getting back to work, however I do think that areas that rely heavily on public transportation (like NY) need to stay shut down longer than most of the rest of the country.

Agree.  It made sense to treat the whole country like NYC until no one else became NYC.  Now it’s time to start opening back up.  Unfortunately I’m seeing a lot of goalpost moving from people terrified to leave their homes. The vast majority of people are going to be ok even if they catch it, assuming they haven’t already had it.

EDIT: I don’t begrudge anyone for staying at home but current data shows that it’s a statistically irrational position for healthy people under 65 to be afraid of going out at all.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      They don’t watch film. They don’t know what they are looking at if they do. Half of this MF pedestrian 561 yards came off wheel routes out of the backfield.

      We have a great, Id say even perfect example of drafting OT on a team with Walker....plus Ill just toss in the solid respected vet Motown too.   Green Bay used a 1st rounder to draft Jordan Morgan with the plan he's the LT. Short this story- Walker beat him badly, so bad they switched positions to OG cause using that 1st is too pricey to sit. That was in 2024, come 2025 in steps a new fresh hope for LT 2nd rounder Anthony Belton..... Another 1st TKO by Walker and the same "ooo my god try him at OG to save face"... Walker clear winner both times.  I think even if the Panthers had first pick of OT, that guy is not unseating Walker or Motown.  Now to talk out of both sides, Id still say using the 1st on OT is a wise move.......but if you believe panthers are in win-now mode and worry about 2027 in 2027 and factor in Walker beating any and all young pups..... the thing is, if this goes well enough...... Walker will want to re-sign here and he's still young for a LT...plus my god LT are the hardest spot to fill. Then Ickey makes a full recovery(just go along for now)...now you have 32 Motown, Icky back on a cheaper RT deal, and a happy LT Walker.  Just making a case and filling in some history, now I still want to draft OT, just maybe not as hot to use the 1st with landing Walker..... I mean isnt using the 4th or one of the 5th better and smarter to develop a OT rather than 1st where you need to score TDs or stop them? But Im with you tho....AND I understand what I feel the panthers will do.

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.
