Meanwhile, I got called an asshole in Ingles this afternoon. An old lady mocked my mask. I told her I'm not wearing it for me but to help people like you. She asked how so. I told her that the primary risk factors for severe illness from COVID are elderly age, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart disease. How many of those describe you? Hint: it was certainly two and likely all of the above. She called me an asshole. I simply replied yeah, I know. LOL!

I really want to call bullshit on this but unfortunately this is the America we are living in. I guarantee that she was a trump supporter.

Not looking great. N.C. is on track for NY and NJ levels. 
 

NC = 450 cases per 100k people

NY and NJ = 2000 cases per 100k people.

NC could be that high in a month or two.

We may be at 8-10% of population infected even now.

Antibody test is $10.  Some companies will probably even pay that for you, which is why you’re seeing an increase in total numbers.  It doesn’t mean you are contagious now, it just means you either have it or have had  it.  More testing is obviously making these numbers go up.  Still be vigilant regarding distancing and wear masks you can.

The death rate in SC keeps trending down and I suspect as much nation wide.  This based on how they scared the absolute POO out of everyone in the beginning by dividing deaths by confirmed cases.  When testing was extremely scarce at the outset and the death rate calculation was as high as 6% in some places (looking at you NYC) and the media ran with that narrative.  I kept saying as testing increased the death rate would slowly drop and it has.  In SC it is now 2.8% from about 5% early on (still too high based off the faultiness of the method) and *knock on wood* if the daily casualties don't start to consistently trend worse, drops a tenth of a percent about every other day now since testing has been in high gear.

Granted, this virus is still not to taken lightly, but it is not the near death sentence that the media made it out to be in March.  I suspect this viruses true mortality rate is no higher than 1% and probably a little lower.

Italian waste water samples confirm COVID-19 in Italy mid-December 2019.  The first confirmed case wasn't until 2 months later in mid-February.  Our first confirmed case in America was a month earlier than the Italians so in theory this could have been stateside sometime in November.  So who is still buying China's BS timeline on when they knew about this?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
