some people never have a symptomatic period. we don't have the ability to test every person in the country, much less a state, or a county, or a city.   while it would be nice if this worked, and i def agree about the economy, it won't work.   i am not panicked.  i am not worried. i am watching.   

So you are a watcher?:p

i'm not freaking out at all.  i have my own mountain i live on.   you put up a study of 161 people about how long to quarantine sick people, and most of them show symptoms in 14 days, most.   and you kinda left out this part:

COMMENT

These findings confirm the current recommendations for quarantine: Most patients who become symptomatic do so within 11 or 12 days and the vast majority within 14 days. However, we already know that asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic persons can transmit infection, and this group was not included here. Better access to testing for asymptomatic infection will shed light on this issue.

 

14 days isn't going to do anything in the long run.  it will just start right back up.   you're just not able to interpret data and you should stop pretending that you know how.  as i said before we would need to test every single person in the country during this 2 week period you speak of, and there would need to be a 0 transmission rate during this period.  neither of those is possible in any sort of way

14 days will certainly hamper the spread significantly, so that is just a ridiculous take. Will it stop it completely? We won't know. All of this information is preliminary so they are adjusting the strategies as new information becomes available. 

As for the asymptomatic people and the transmission, I have yet to see anything conclusive on how long that period of being contagious would last. I think that is something they are likely studying but I wouldn't expect much in the way of conclusions for a while.

I know that at least I am trying to be educated on the issue, read about it as new information becomes available and actually spread that information. All I see you doing is spraying text in here with no sources but pretty hard beliefs. That speaks volumes. 

Good luck with that.

I think the Japanese have had some success with a drug, can't recall details. Sounds like there might end up being multiple drugs that prove to be effective at treating the seriously ill patients.

Both drugs that have shown success in Japan and elsewhere are not FDA approved. Thanks FDA.

Wouldn't be the first time the FDA has kept safe and effective drugs/medical products that other first world countries have proven to be effective away from the US.

fyi...I absolutely can’t stand the guy who wrote this, but just to offer a different view

Yeah, I am also going to just ignore that article and click on the source material. In a crisis, the media is not going to be able to transmit accurate information. They just haven't developed that way. And I mean that outside the typical propaganda spewers(Fox News, MSNBC, Russia Today, etc). 

I am not against utilizing traditional media except in a crisis. They typically drop the ball on accurate, complete and non-reactionary reporting when they get spun up.

Hydroxychloroquine (sometimes with an antibiotic) or HCQ.  Chloroquine is also discussed but apparently it's a bit harsher of a medicine.  But both have already have notable success in France, Germany, Italy, and I think even Australia. Some USA doctors are already using it (it's allowed by the FDA).  

And honestly even if it works only 50% of the time, that's significant in curtailing the disease and winning the battle.

I think this study is from France - promising stuff

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
