Scary times. Be safe people. Im done traveling and eating at fast food restaurants for a while. Going to be a homebody for a few months until this gets under control.

Workplace is the most concern. If someone gets it at work it can easily spread. Just think about this when you're at work. Make sure to wash your hand every chance you get.

Once the test come in the numbers are going to be staggering. But it will signal a end not a beginning. 

If the numbers were huge we would be seeing more deaths and over run hospitals. The numbers are most likely still low.

Yeah but you don't want more. Some people are reckless and any corona virus can mutate. Rather fight two strains than 4.

Yet there's no travel restrictions to South Korea, UK etc. with active outbreaks. The travel restrictions seem to have no reasonable logic behind them.

I’m disappointed In my company that my workplace hasn’t officially mandated the work from home stuff. Everyone in my office has the ability to work efficiently from our houses.

Negative, without tests they are being treated like other common viruses. Just wait and watch.

Same...I took it upon myself to tell my boss I am 100% from home for a while.  WTF could he say?

If there's a long term benefit to this whole ordeal, I really hope that it's a more widespread acceptance of working remotely. With the technology available today there are a LOT of jobs that can be done arguably even more efficiently remotely. I've worked remotely for the past 11 years. Fug going to an office for 40+ hours every week.

This. It's already widespread, we just don't realize it yet. 80% of cases are symptomless or mild. Most of those people likely haven't even been to the doctor. The ones who have were likely diagnosed with a cold and told to rest up.

Ok....but by all accounts this is deadlier and has more extreme symptoms in the elderly and sick people. My friend has treated these patients. He hasn’t seen a huge uptick in patients in the ICU and he works in Seattle.

No logic yet most of our cases have come from Italy not South Korea. I'm not seeing how you think the UK is a hot bed and not Italy?

I could work from home every day and get the same amount of work done. But it’s not a good feeling and not very motivating to work for a company you don’t think has your back.

The average working citizen doesn't have an office job. What about those major companies like Amazon/Wal Mart etc... those people actually have to go to work because it is a warehouse environment. This is how viruses like these spread. I was just talking to a guy who works for Amazon and he said it's already people testing positive for the virus who work in these warehouses. They are touching products we order online. People don't think about this stuff though.

I would stay away from ordering online as well.

It's not the black death they are preaching on CNN. If you have pre existing conditions yes but that's not everyone. Like I said watch and see. The biggest fear is the unknown spread.

      Some Draft Grades & some thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      Our Panthers reporter, Anthony Rizutti of Panthers Wire provides us with a few grades. I've added a couple of more snippets of analyses from some NC guys, including our friend Scott Fowler in Charlotte and a vid from Panthers Playbook's Dennis Cox and Chris Lea in Raleigh. It is food for thought. Of course we all have our opinions, but, me personally, I tend to giive the opinion of hardcore fans and people that actually follow the team a little more weight.  Touchdown Wire:     B Draft Wire:                B+ USA Today:               C NFL.com:                  B ESPN:                        B- PFF:                          C Yahoo Sports:          C CBS Sports:             C+ If you want to read their little summaries, hit the link. But as you can see, the national types have largely graded the draft average. There seems to be an acknowledgement of the fact that Morgan and company were in a hard place due to the malfeasance of the previous administrations, but that our FO did the best it could. One of the "experts" mentioned the "boom-or-bust" nature of our draft, which is an interesting way to characterize it, but I'm good with that. And Charles McDonald may have put it best which basically alluded to the fact that so much of the grade is simply based upon the unknown: "Even though they’re getting a C, it’s hard not to be caught by the allure of the unknown here. It’s a really interesting class." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/lists/panthers-nfl-draft-grades-experts-2024/   Tony Pauline, another national talking head, took his page straight out Debbie Downer's playbook, but it's all about perspective, right? Here's a bone for those that are decidedly negative about the outcome: "You could brand the Panthers as this year’s losers before the event began, considering they frittered away the first pick of the draft last year to select Bryce Young. Trading up one spot for the final selection of Round 1 to select Xavier Legette, a Day 2 receiver prospect, kept things going in the wrong direction for Carolina."   One person who has been---perhaps what has been perceived as negative about the direction of the franchise---decidedly sober-minded and what I consider fair about the way things have been going under the Tepper era has been Scott Fowler. By now, everyone should have heard of the contentious relationship that he and David Tepper have. Fowler has called Tepper out on his decided malfeasance (labelling it inTeptitude as I recall), and Tepper, the owner that is a somewhat contentious all own his own by the simplest of "slights," has outwardly acted inappropriate (in my opinion, toward Fowler. But Fowler was decidedly positive about this year's draft. "While nationally the Panthers didn’t get nearly the same amount of attention in this draft as they did in 2023, owing to the controversial big-splash trade and the ensuing selection of Young a year ago, this group may be more significant as a whole." Fowler gave the draft a B+ "This team is going to be more exciting. In particular, I have high hopes for Legette and Sanders. Carolina didn’t get everything it wanted — an edge rusher in the first two days of the draft would have been nice, for instance. But overall, I’m giving the Panthers a grade of B+ for the 2024 NFL Draft. Which, given the team as a whole got an F last year, is quite an upgrade." You may hit a paywall:https://www.heraldonline.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article287830040.html#storylink=cpy   And finally, here is Dennis Cox And Chris Lea. I thought they were fair and thoughtful in their assessment. They call Dan and Dave (and company) "The Alignment," because of being on the same page.  For me, that alone, is worth the listen.

      I honestly don't really care. This year is all about figuring out if Bryce is it. Period. Because if we have another high pick next year (pretty likely if we're being honest) we need to know if we need a QB.
