Our country is generally not concerned with what is being said, only with who said it.  Cuts out all the critical thinking mumbo jumbo

I definitely understand the "argument from authority" angle people try to use.  But in this case I think he tried it, without reading what the article was about.  Its kind of like having football coaches talking about challenges they are having with COVID and their team, and someone says "only someone who specializes in viruses can tell you that!"  Wait...what?

people have this really big problem understanding how job responsibilities are broken down among the medical profession. Like at their accounting firm or oil change shop they can tell you exactly what every single members role is and how it differs etc. But generally people hear doctor and think all health. That is incredibly incorrect. 

The people you want to listen to here are...

infectious disease - smartest people in med school go into ID. 

virologists - they study viruses

epidemiologists - they study how things spread

pulm/internal med/intensivists - these are the ones taking care of people after they're tubed or convalescing 

For things like this, look at what they do, what their exposure would be, and why we should listen to what they say about country wide policy. What does an emed doctor do here? Looks at a CT and sends them upstairs. The fact she's going on Fox news and complaining about a drug we know to do nothing being politicized, well, that should tell you all you need to know. 

This could also be like those old right wing 1,000 SCIENTISTS DENY CLIMATE CHANGE. Then it turned out half were meteorologists and the other half just had a problem with one piece of data out of a corner of canada but never actually denied the broader science.

Or the last time earlier this year where the list was just posted online and anyone could sign it. Unless there really is a Dr. Weedlord BonerHitler who works in proctology. 

So those doctors that you named are trained in alcohol abuse?

You have to walk the line between economics and health and safety.  Even within those 2 groups, there are many considerations on economics and many on health and safety that all have to be considered.  Ripple effects to quick and short sighted answers to large problems

We are sorry to inform you that your job has been outsourced to a team of Russian nurses.  They are cheaper.....in many senses of the word

All the scab nurses come from like Micronesia, at least in Asheville. 

In Asheville all the russians work in waste management and that one dry cleaning place near biltmore.

i think that's basically the playbook now, say something stupid and ridiculous and outlandish, almost forcing a response and correction, just to steer the conversation away from legitimate concerns and then stupid people will still be like "well I guess (when confronted with obvious lies and nonsense vs. hard facts and science) the truth is somewhere in the middle"

I had a patient yesterday asking if he should take it because the president told him to.

There is definitely some truth to that.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
