10,00 new cases means nothing if they are not killing anybody, or making them sick. So, you have the Virus.. Now what? if them 10,000 turn into 300 deaths.. then maybe it would be something to worry about. If the 10,000 turn into 100 Deaths.. then good things ahead.

I just want people to stop treating the Virus as the "Floor is Lava". It is not immediate death to have it or be exposed. There is a very high survival rate. You do NOT automatically test positive for being around someone positive.

Please explain how 100 preventable deaths is a good thing.

Preventable? You think this Virus is 100% preventable? 100 deaths is a good thing, that means the Death rate went to 1% instead of 2%. The whole point of the Curve, Social distancing, the mask.. is to slow down the deaths and slow down the patients going to hospitals. It was never meant to erase the Virus or erase the inevitable. It was just delaying the effects, or spreading them out over time.

Sad article.

That was literally a direct result of having a Republican super majority in the state. I remember that and saw that whole thing go down.

That is really just the tip of the iceberg of what those robbers did to the citizens of the state. I am a moderate but I couldn't be further from the modern Republican party. As corrupt as the Democratic party is, they pale in comparison to the naked disdain the Republican party has for working people and small businesses.

Yes slow it down until hopefully we find a vaccine that works. We have already created dozens of vaccines. Now we have to see if they work and how long they provide protection if any. It isn't inevitable at this time that everyone will get it or that you can't get it more than once. We just don't know yet.

I guess. It seems to me people had a different idea of what Quarantine, Social Distancing, flatten the curve and wearing mask meant. That is the whole issue with the hysteria and fray actors and the media. Different interpretations or what Ideas mean. I said at the beginning, if we are going to shut down the country, then it needs to be strict, tight, and NOTHING open for 2 months, ( would reduce it drastically and almost eliminate it)  That means strict LE enforcement, only things open would be medical, food deliveries, papers saying you have permission etc. Instead.. it was lets try this.. oh wait.. lets try this.. oh wait.. lets try this. Now.. people are freaking out over the numbers because they have been delayed or not what they expected.

I can't recall one person who thinks that. Haven't seen it on the news, nor any of the forums I hang out on. Will you guys stop using that as an argument for anything?

People want everyone to wear a mask so those who MIGHT die from it DON'T get it. It's about protecting others, not yourself.

"Some young people in Alabama are throwing Covid-19 parties, a disturbing competition where people who have coronavirus attend and the first person to get infected receives a payout, local officials said.

The parties are being held in Tuscaloosa, and infected people are urged to attend so others can intentionally contract the virus, City Council member Sonya McKinstry told CNN. She said she heard about the trend from fire officials."

 

Words. None I have.

I never said anything about not wearing a mask.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
