45catfan that still doesn't make any sense.   the first wave isn't over until the virus has had a chance to reach all areas and all people. that's the end of the first wave or pass.  i guess its just semantics because nothing has changed at all from the beginning credible scientific information we had in march.  

also, great, now i'm sure the fbi is looking at me because my username is the same as the new seattle warlord

So are you saying in 1918 before commercial air travel and when only a fraction of the country had cars...when interstate travel was very uncommon, the 1918 Flu spread faster?  Passenger trains were common, but not like highways, streets and air travel are today.  I don't understand that logic.

But you also have to factor in large numbers of soldiers returning to the US, Australia, and areas from Europe, And returning packed on a variety of ships with lower hygene standards.

That's how it got here, but why did it have three waves then?  It's not like it was a phased reduction, the war was over and the soldiers largely came home which would explain the first wave.  Most of these people worked on the family farm outside of your major cities.  So if it was just an urban, thing I could understand.  Granted hygiene was lacking back then, but they wore masks and socially distance...supposedly.  If this is like the 1918 Flu and cyclical, we almost have to be in the 2nd wave now.

I suppose its not the only reason for the waves of resurgence of the flu, but the soldiers themselves came home in waves, with the last WW1 veterans not returning until 1920.  The treaty of Versailles was signed in June of 1919, and there was still over 800,000 US soldiers in Europe I believe.

So I guess the question is why did it carry not on past then?  Did it just burn itself out?  No vaccine was ever made.  Viruses have finite life cycles and possibly it had simply ran it's course.  I'm hoping this one runs it's complete course before this winter.

My wife exhibited the common symptoms of a moderately-affected person (dry cough, on/off fever and fatigue for weeks) in December and a medical professional I know who treats many soldiers from a nearby army base with lots of global travelers was seeing numerous cases fitting COVID profile back in November. There seems little doubt that this was around since at least late Fall 2019.

Then an anti body test would confirm that these folks had it ?  I have not seen any information from any reliable sources that confirm this.  If you dont have the anti bodies you most likely didnt have covid .

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
