People have penned up energy, but I'd also say the media (of all forms) has a captive audience right now.  People would normally be distracted with other things on a daily basis, but they've got time to obsess over stuff now in a way they couldn't before.

For sure. There are 40 million people without jobs, benefits are running out, many have yet to receive benefits, personal savings are empty, millions more are losing jobs every month,  repos and foreclosures will start soon, etc

Nearly every high school and college graduate is jobless right now with little hope to get a job in the next 12-24 months. 

Economic depression + distrust/misbehavior of authorities + pandemic is pretty much a perfect storm.

Explain the logic behind this.

Masks and hand sanitizers.  Both corona and flu spread same way.  Lots of people wear masks now and use hand sanitizers after touching things unlike before.

Generally, one indication on how the upcoming flu season for the USA is to look at how Australia and other countries in that hemisphere are dealing with it. If there is a bad flu season in the Australia, expect a bad flu season in USA.

This year is going to be different.  It’s who takes the most precautions.  If we got a second waves and schools become remote... flu season will be very weak.

Despite the memes, you have a point

1,200 new cases in NC today (within 24 hours).  New record.

The important thing is to see the hospitalization and deaths number over the next 7-10 days.  If there's not a sizable spike in either, that means the virus is weakening.  Sure nobody wants to get sick, but the mortal fear factor may subside from the levels of just a few weeks ago.

Yeah, that's definitely jumping the gun big time. It could also mean that it's largely a less vulnerable population being infected.

It's possible, but you're assuming people area actually going to stick with it while I'm personally seeing more and more people who definitely aren't. We're definitely trending the wrong direction on it.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
