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.

Tucker Carlson, Pence and Trump?

Come on get that stuff to political.

 

Pence and Trump were not in the video.  Just Carlson talking to doctors and others.

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.

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.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
