I didn't say it would get cured, I said sorted out. Stupid people are still out there doing whatever they want.

All you have to do is look to Italy. They've been on lockdown for a week and their new caseload is still climbing. This virus has an incubation period of up to 14 days (though I think the average is 4 days). A week is going to make practically no difference at all. I'm watching Italy for when their new caseload levels off and then starts declining.

Given the incubation period and contagiousness of the virus, I think the peak will happen sometime early to mid next week. I say that knowing jack poo about infectious diseases, but having a really good grasp of forecasting mathematics. If they're new caseload is still climbing this time next week, that's gonna be an "oh poo" moment for me.

So once I week or every other week I try to cross the border with my mom and get groceries for both of us. Well, looks like the USA/MEX border is closed at my location. Anyone with higher authority know if poo is about to hit the fan? I have some former military buddies from the USA telling me that some major poo is about to go down. I'd say more but I know they might be watching....>_>   <_<   >_>

I gave up drinking for the most part too and that made a big difference.

I cant put down the dip can tho.  Grizzly has me by the nuts.

Try quitting with Velo 4.  I’ve been dipping for 30 years and it was surprisingly easy switching to it.  I haven’t had a dip in 3 months now and don’t miss it one bit.

I have actually heard the same from a friend. If they start mobilizing the military and declare martial law, this country is over. Mark my words. 

And people wishing for this, be careful what you ask for.

Ok I just read news this morning that the government expects to lose over 2.25 million jobs this month alone. Other news agencies are stating that our economy may hit depression era level by mid summer. I would like to believe that if we force everyone to stay home for two weeks this nightmare would be over. I think it is the only answer.

TBH, IMO the push towards another great depression will largely be because of these quarantine measures.

This virus and the reactions to it are exposing how fragile our economy is. It is also highlighting how deep the problem of income inequality is.

Yes I think two weeks. Those that are asymptotic will have gotten sick. We can begin to stop the spread of this disease. If we can stop the spread we can begin to recover.

      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.
