Some good news regarding treatment of the most severe cases.

Legitimate study that shows some promise.  It won't prevent the disease, but does show that it can help those that already have to survive and recover.  

It's a treatment to help those having a really hard time breathing prior to going the ventilator route.  Obviously once on a vent, things get bleak.

a) We already talked about that a few pages ago starting here:

Includes a link to her anti-vaxx non-profit registrations.  I think she's a grifter and that's why I don't trust her.

b) I think there is good investigative journalism being done actually.  This isn't it though.

c) I'm talking about James O'Keefe who keeps losing slander lawsuits for his edited videos.  He also dressed up like a pimp and tried to "seduce" a CNN anchor onto some boat with a bunch of sex toys and porn everywhere.  Obviously it didn't work.  I mean if you think he's a great guy who tells the truth and is worth defending then that's your take on it.

Also if you're anti-vaccine yourself then that's fine, that's your opinion.

The last I'm saying on this and moving on.  I have said she could be a fake, but I don't automatically dismiss someone just because of a belief they hold.  For the record, I'm not anti-vaxx.  I have had many over my lifetime.  However, it would be like you blowing the whistle on something and people find out you believe....I don't know, say in aliens.  Oh, this dude thinks UFOs are real, so he's lying.  Final point, whistle blowing isn't easy, depending on the magnitude, it can change or even ruin a person's and their families life.  It's to be taken very serious knowing the potential fallout, immunity from whistle blower laws or not.

ReOpen NC leader creates “Burn Your Mask Challenge" as response to mandatory mask discussion

Imagine being so selfish and stupid that you think that refusing to wear a mask to protect others from a potentially deadly pandemic virus is infringing upon your freedom. It isn't about reopening. It's about refusing to take even the most basic least intrusive action to protect your neighbors because you're a selfish fuging asshole. It's a powerful stupidity.

Is this a new study being reported on or is it just somebody on a morning show giving their opinion.

I Googled "20 million tests per day" and found references to a Harvard report from mid-late April suggesting that number needs to be reached by midsummer but that's all I could find from a cursory look

https://www.technologyreview.com/2020/04/20/1000228/the-us-will-need-to-do-20-million-tests-a-day-to-reopen-safely/

Do you think we shouldn't start opening back up until we do 20M tests per day?

I am still curious to know how many people actually had/have this?  It's hard for me to believe that not even 1% of Americans have contracted this.  With even a conservative estimate of 40% of people that had this being asymptomatic, 2 million cases seems very low.

A lot of the same people will point to Japan & how they haven't had nearly the problem we've had despite not shutting down like we did, totally ignoring the fact that in their culture the minute one feels sick, one puts on a mask.

They are an island.  There's not much value in trying to compare to them.

This person said on Facebook: “As you know we’re a group against mandatory anything”.

Something tells me this person was all for mandatory curfews and dispersal orders during recent protests. Just a hunch.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
