I am wanting to know, if there is 23.5 Million unemployed, if 1% of them died to to homelessness, depression from losing home, lifestyle etc. Would that not be more deaths than the Coronavirus?

We have 82,000 COVID deaths in a little over 2 months.   

We have no clue what the actual COVID death toll will be.    Second wave easily could be worse than this one (and we aren't through the first wave).   

You can do the math of 1% of 23.5 but there is no actual number to compare it to.   Can compare it to projections.  But projections evolve as the COVID problem evolves.   

Not sure I have seen a lot of projections that really take us past August.  Those generally seem to be in the 180k range.  But we still have the additional fall/winter to factor into those 2020 numbers.  And I don't think they can project that window right now.

Wow. To put this into perspective: NYC's death toll is 10x LA County's.

This headline doesn't quite match up with the article. LA County is slow-rolling reopening like lots of places. But this headline makes it sound like stay at home keeps everything closed through summer. The text of the article doesn't seem to jive with that.

Another round of stimulus checks is coming in next 2 months

I don't think there is a real appetite for any more assistance to the public in congress.  Right now all they are doing is playing games for political points, but have no real desire to get something passed.  Its pretty typical stuff.  Come up with something that sounds good, then throw some poison pills in so it doesn't pass.  Then go running to the nearest microphone to talk about the other side being evil.

Very true. In this case though, I think it makes more sense to put that money in unemployment than to just send checks to everyone. The money will go farther.

      Post- Training Camp 53-Man Roster Projection

      By Seltzer · Posted

      By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though

      Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.

      That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
