Yup, domino effect now. That will force the IOC to at least postpone them or cancel them altogether. 

Olympics arent until July 24th.  A lot can happen with this virus by then.  I think its too early to cancel them

July 24th is a ways away but you can't wait until the last minute to make a decision and still have a successful Olympics.  People are gonna need to know one way or the other soon.

So how big a problem would it be if the isolation was with the at risk people and nobody else?

Basically, if you are old and at risk category, YOU are quarantined, but the rest of society, the ones who are not retired, will go back to work, and school.

What would this course do economically and socially and medically?  Would it be worse than the "shutting it all down" scenario given what we now know about this particular virus?

Of course there are only about 3 people here who can speak beyond linking twitter feeds, but for those who are in medical field and such, and for those in business field, love your thoughts.

Grandparents will have to see their grandkids and everyone else via skype or talk on phone only till it has blown over.

Do you own a tv? Half the infected people in NY are 19-49. It's the stupid people that spread the virus.

Well past that Sparky.

So what if all the 19 year olds got it?  Most cough a couple times and go on, that was the point.  IF they are giving it to others in their peer range and NOT to the endagered folks, because we have THEM locked down, then, would it be better or worse for society.

It might take a bit of thought, but yes, I also have a TV

Honestly, I don't understand why we don't just lock away anyone high risk. Everyone else can deliver to them at their door step what they need. No economic shut down for a year and millions of poverty related deaths. Make more mask and more test in the interim and try and get a hold of things while the young develop herd immunity. I'm all for taking away this option once I see a healthy 19-39 year olds with no obesity or high risk conditions contract and expire from this disease, but it appears to target smokers, asthma suffers, the morbidly obese, and the elderly. Why do we have to all shut down and starve when we can just move the sick into lockdown?

I think that's pretty close to how Hitler started his thing..

I'd like to see how that plan works when you say "hey, if you have asthma, you no longer have a job.  Everyone else, back to work.  By the way, everyone with asthma please raise your hand now.  Wait, noone?"

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By CPF4LIFE · Posted

      So let me ask you this, and this is assuming you watched the first 2 games of the season. The falcons game was a back and forth between to 2 bad teams until bryce throws 2 crucial picks to help atlanta pull away. The second game was a sloppy game where the defense scored and our offense did absolutely nothing till the 4th quarter, bryce even fumbles and saints return for a TD. If Dalton starts both of those games is the outcome and playout still the same for both games?

      sure.  I acknowledge we had a rookie making rookie mistakes.  You fail to acknowledge a pushing 40 Dalton however paired up in this trainwreck wasn't going to yield significantly better results. good results.   And Dalton didn't even win his game vs a wrecked Seattle D.  Andy Dalton couldn't even find a way for his team to beat the Carolina freaking Panthers in 2022.  A team with an interim HC, that couldn't score, playing like it was 1970.   And Andy Dalton had REAL weapons on the field at his disposal.   All Dalton had to do was score more than 10 points.  He couldn't pull that off.    I probably got as little faith in Bryce as anyone here.   But I'm not willing to go this Andy Dalton route.  Maybe he wins 4ish here.  But he wasn't doing much here.  Dalton isn't Cincy Dalton.

      What do you think really happens here?  Do you think that Seattle loss with half a secondary is a realistic game for Dalton to consistently have?  Do you expect 40 year old Dalton to throw it 60 times and rack up 361 yards while constantly getting hit to work against other teams?  If we played him all year do you think he would rack up 6,137 yards 34 TDs and 0 INTs on over a thousand attempts?  That games wasn't a great game.  We were trailing all game and he threw it against a terrible secondary 60 times averaging 6.6 yards an attempt.  He had one "deep" pass to Chark (wide ass open) for 27 yards who ran another 20 for a TD.  That's not happening against other teams.  I would be surprised if Dalton made it two more games taking those kinds of hits and probably losing both of those games.  Our OL sucked, Our coaches sucked, and our weapons sucked.  Remember Rhule beat Andy Dalton and his Saints offense (which has a better OL and better weapons) just the prior year.  Yeah Matt Rhule...  Darnold put up 43 yards and 2 INTs and Dalton STILL couldn't beat him.  That's embarrassing.
