next 2-3 weeks will likely show what the increase in numbers really means and how it will impact things going forward.  

we have a clear cut rise in numbers in a lot of places.  that alone isn't actually a bad thing.   We were doing bad and little testing.  People can finally get testing.     Which is good.   South Carolina is perfect example of this increase in COVID.  Record breaking nearly every other day for the last 1-2 weeks.   But testing is finally relatively easy to get vs prior months. 

So in the next 2-3 weeks could show that we simply are widely testing now.  High COVID numbers but no signification increase in hospitalization or deaths.  Or the next 2-3 weeks will show a real increase in hospitalization and death.   If the next few weeks show increased hospitalization and death? Well, that is going to most likely greatly impact us backwards.  If we get high COVID numbers and no real increase in death and hospitalization in the upcoming weeks...that will be good.  We can continue the march to some sort of normalcy. 

  

One thing to remember is that deaths lag new cases.  If new cases continue to spike with deaths either staying steady or not spiking proportionally then that lends credence to your point.

Why are people talking about the President during a massive crisis.  I don't get it, could someone please explain it to me.

Well, he's set to hold a massive rally (including 17k indoors) in Tulsa, Oklahoma where cases are already currently spiking. It's pretty close to being a worst case scenario during a pandemic.

We don't know, so... LEEEEEEROY JEEEEEEEENKINS!!! it is, right?

Damn, society is dumb.

Starting to open back up is fine IMO. People refusing to wear masks or do even the most basic of prevention measures is really dumb and reckless though. Doing so as a political statement is the pinnacle of stupidity. There should be monuments built to commemorate such levels of stupidity being achieved.

Your attention span is a bit short there LG.

Basically talking about WHY people are not complying.  Not Leroy Jenkins or whatever you are talking about.

When the fear based story that people have been fed for several months does not hold water, then people will naturally make their own decisions.

I say fear based because the facts are sooooo fluid.

Does COVID differentiate between BLM and Trump?  Is one mass gathering better or worse as far as the virus?

And most people are idiots, so... here we are with numbers spiking and people not taking even the most basic of precautions.

so if you get it you can get it again in 2-3 months.  that's what the latest research is suggesting.   if that's true that really sucks

I saw that article too.  It was something like, front-line workers in Wuhan were tested and it was found that 4-5% of them still had antibodies a few months out.  That's with it being thought that up to 25ish% of them might have been infected.

I like this post because it's a tacit admission that you think it's stupid as hell to have a gigantic circle jerk right now but your gag reflex as a Republican won't let you admit it, so your first reaction is "well what about... "

But to answer your question, one of those groups thinks trying to get people to wear masks in public is a liberal conspiracy to steal their freedom.

I’m curious on how I would respond if some moron (male or female) approached me and said something about being a “librul pussy” or the likes when wearing a mask out in public. Would probably laugh at them and tell them to mind their own GD business. Maybe we will find out. :thinking:

COVID cases are on huge rise... 35k new cases per day.  Brazil is averaging 60k new cases each day and their population is about 40% less than US.

Weird I thought the librul hoax would burn its self out when the temp got hot

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      Raptors blown out by Phoenix. Man this final stretch is gonna be crazy. Seeds 5-10 in the east are separated by 2.5 games… Hawks only team “hotter” than us, and I think they’re bound to come back down to earth with a pretty tough schedule to close out the season. We have some tough games too but ones that I think are very winnable, and still some very very easy games — which we have been winning consistently in 2026. Don’t think we’ve had a bad loss against a team we should beat since the Pacers in either very early January or late December

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
