I hope this doesn't get as bad as the 1918 flu pandemic, but I'm not sure if there's any logical reason that it won't. That one killed 50 million globally and 675,000 in the U.S.

The demographic data of the Spanish flu was incredibly different than this. If this were the Spanish flu, the NBA players who got it would be dead.  Instead they are like “dang, I barely realized I had it, but now I’m clear.”  The Spanish flu was killing those same demographics.

That was what I explained earlier too. Build big ton-age dump truck beds that take up loads of surface area, ship them across the world, unload them, and transport them to your operation. THAT is WAAAY cheaper than local production!?!?!?! That is wrong, plain wrong. 

 

Debatable. Read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lexus_and_the_Olive_Tree. If you know Friedman at all you already know his message. He makes for an interesting read.

They conveniently leave out the doctor rule "one test per family." Meaning? For every 1 person positive, they probably ignored 2-3 tests per family.

A family member of mine went and got the test... She was immune deficient and I wasn't. They gave it to her as there was no risk of me even needing hospitalization. Positive result, so 4 likely positive cases (4 members had THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS) and 1 confirmed. 

I am feeling 100% better, but the 2.5% death rate people throw around is bull crap. If for every 1 confirmed they miss 3, we're almost at 750k.

Remember, not everyone is going to get tested until they feel ungodly sick.

Starting at about 11 minutes in, and running to 21 minutes, they start questioning what I was questioning a week or so ago.

What do the numbers say, and should we have gone a different direction by quarantining the folks at risk, would the total deaths be less and the economy still be running?  At least I am not the only one to think this way.

We are all at risk or come into contact with at risk people.  Its an idea that can't work in practice in the US, if your goal is to just continue business as usual minus a few people.

Not shutting down mass transit is next level stupid.

Confined spaces man. Everyone went to this church got sick, they proceeded to get everyone else sick. 
 

“As of April 1, 2020, a total of 5,162 coronavirus (COVID-19) cases were related to Shincheonji Church in South Korea, accounting for about 53 percent of all infections.”

America is fuged when we have to lean on rich famous people like Stephon Marbury to secure 10 million masks in Beijing China, at cost, to ship to New York State. Why the fug is the federal government not doing this?

Not to be too political but it's because Trump. He said he would only send masks to states that were nice to him. So now the fed is out bidding the states for masks. Places like OK, KS, MS, etc... Are getting all the masks they requested mean while NY, NJ, CA, CT all get screwed because they had the audacity to not give Trump a glowing review on his mishandling of this pandemic? And 50% of people are cool with this behavior. We are screwed.

      Director of College scouting should be next. I'd like to see the organization go after Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy who's a good friend of Dan Morgan back in their time in Seattle

      Off season talk.

      By pantherj · Posted

      I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.
