Some good news regarding treatment of the most severe cases.

Legitimate study that shows some promise.  It won't prevent the disease, but does show that it can help those that already have to survive and recover.  

It's a treatment to help those having a really hard time breathing prior to going the ventilator route.  Obviously once on a vent, things get bleak.

a) We already talked about that a few pages ago starting here:

Includes a link to her anti-vaxx non-profit registrations.  I think she's a grifter and that's why I don't trust her.

b) I think there is good investigative journalism being done actually.  This isn't it though.

c) I'm talking about James O'Keefe who keeps losing slander lawsuits for his edited videos.  He also dressed up like a pimp and tried to "seduce" a CNN anchor onto some boat with a bunch of sex toys and porn everywhere.  Obviously it didn't work.  I mean if you think he's a great guy who tells the truth and is worth defending then that's your take on it.

Also if you're anti-vaccine yourself then that's fine, that's your opinion.

The last I'm saying on this and moving on.  I have said she could be a fake, but I don't automatically dismiss someone just because of a belief they hold.  For the record, I'm not anti-vaxx.  I have had many over my lifetime.  However, it would be like you blowing the whistle on something and people find out you believe....I don't know, say in aliens.  Oh, this dude thinks UFOs are real, so he's lying.  Final point, whistle blowing isn't easy, depending on the magnitude, it can change or even ruin a person's and their families life.  It's to be taken very serious knowing the potential fallout, immunity from whistle blower laws or not.

ReOpen NC leader creates “Burn Your Mask Challenge" as response to mandatory mask discussion

Imagine being so selfish and stupid that you think that refusing to wear a mask to protect others from a potentially deadly pandemic virus is infringing upon your freedom. It isn't about reopening. It's about refusing to take even the most basic least intrusive action to protect your neighbors because you're a selfish fuging asshole. It's a powerful stupidity.

Is this a new study being reported on or is it just somebody on a morning show giving their opinion.

I Googled "20 million tests per day" and found references to a Harvard report from mid-late April suggesting that number needs to be reached by midsummer but that's all I could find from a cursory look

https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/04/20/1000228/the-us-will-need-to-do-20-million-tests-a-day-to-reopen-safely/

Do you think we shouldn't start opening back up until we do 20M tests per day?

I am still curious to know how many people actually had/have this?  It's hard for me to believe that not even 1% of Americans have contracted this.  With even a conservative estimate of 40% of people that had this being asymptomatic, 2 million cases seems very low.

A lot of the same people will point to Japan & how they haven't had nearly the problem we've had despite not shutting down like we did, totally ignoring the fact that in their culture the minute one feels sick, one puts on a mask.

They are an island.  There's not much value in trying to compare to them.

This person said on Facebook: “As you know we’re a group against mandatory anything”.

Something tells me this person was all for mandatory curfews and dispersal orders during recent protests. Just a hunch.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
