The worst thing would be to start this process, incur the economic toll, then bail on it and get hammered then try to start it again. We haven't even reached to point it is mathematically possible to realize any benefits and people want to bail on it.

That’s what is going to happen. Whatever boneheaded idea pops in to president orange face while he is scrolling twitter on the toilet will be what happens

Though nothing has been federally mandated so far. So the states can still deal with it as they are currently.  Some Governors are doing great jobs. Just a really poor way for a country to deal with something. Hopefully a lot is learned from this and we get a capable leader with good intentions at some point. I don't care what party they come from but we desperately need a real one.

Probably good that we are set up with governors.

Every state is different, and every state should not necessarily be doing the exact same measures.  NYC is not Wyoming.  Each governor will be graded on how he handled in his state.  Each day, they have a call with all governors to see what is needed.

Sure it does have it's benefits. But having a Federal void isn't helping.

The federal isn't void, the states have just done a good job of convincing people that they don't have a higher responsibility in all of this.  Our country is set up in a particular way, and our local and state governments are on the front lines of this.  The feds are there to assist, not take over every hospital in every city in the entire country.

Nobody is asking the federal government to take over every hospital right now.  Supplies are low, and the federal government can come in and help boost production, and stop price gouging.  The federal government can also allocate additional resources to states on a state by state basis based on needs at specific times. This isn’t difficult, every part of the government needs to help. A national health emergency is not the time to stand on loose principles if it means people die.

How many governors out of the 50 are complaining that they are getting no assistance?

The virus hasn't even come close to peaking in NYC yet, other states won't need assistance until much later, so governors are not asking yet because the need isn't there, and if there aren't enough tests, it's harder to know exactly how many people are infected currently.  The federal gov't sent 4,000 ventilators to NY state when they need 30,000.  The issue isn't whether the fed has done anything, it's whether the fed has done any where close to what is needed to help save the lives of 3.3 million people (this is 1% of the U.S. population).

The federal government has massively dropped the ball, but does anyone really think that they're sitting on massive warehouses stacked wall to wall and floor to ceiling with ventilators?

The ball was dropped on the mitigation effort. Now we're forced to try to catch up on the treatment side and it's just not possible.

The Fed is a genie, you rub their belly and poof. 500k ventilators appear.  You know, cause everyone knew for the last 50 years that they should have warehouses full of these.

This is not anything that any gov has planned for.  Since budgets mean nothing anymore, I guess they can buy warehouses and put 400 million rolls of toilet paper in them for the next unseen virus, in case it affects the GI tract.

And so on and so on.

I am not a Trump fan, nor did I vote for him, but the finger pointing, with no thought beyond Twitter "knowledge" is pretty awesome to watch.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
