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 .

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
