Todd answered your questions pretty succinctly. I would add that the incubation period for covid is longer... up to 14 days and many people have it and spreading it for longer without knowing it (pre-symptomatic) or even having symptoms at all for those 14 days.

Actually because I work in a hospital I do wear a mask. It sucks people die from the flu... But this isn't the flu, it is much worse, more virulent and your deaths due to flu are inflated, about half that.... 55,000 of covid cases reported yesterday alone. 128,000 deaths in 4 months... Flu has treatments such as tamaflu.. and a known epidomology. Not saying shut down everything but if folks can't follow instructions for safety then yes... I saw 11 deaths in 1 day at my hospital. Again, ignoring these precautions results in crap like Chappaqua. Avoidable... wait til there is an outbreak at a game and they shut down the NFL for the whole season... that will really suck. We in the US don't take virus infections seriously enough... non is a acceptable number.

I can manipulate stats to show anything you want... used to do it for a living... but for arguments sake lets say they are correct... implication... social distance and wear a damn mask so it doesn't happen.

Not following guidelines including quarantining if coming from or living in a hotspot... not just mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing. Problem is scientist dont know who is carrying it so controlled studies are still being evaluated. Though the reduction in cases in NY and Westchester all suggest if not prove the point of wearing a damn mask... socially distancing reduces your potential exposure or transmitting. All I need to know is my wife and kids didnt get it because I went to a hotel room at first sign of a fever. We wore masks inside around kids when virus first hit. And my wife and I work different shifts. Washed hands cleaned surfaces, bagged scrubs as soon as we came inside. Wiped down inside of cars. We both were in the middle of it in hospitals. Me more than her. So go ahead and ignore protocols at your own risk. This debate is inane and frankly pisses me off after seeing so many deaths. Scientifically proven debate at this point is a waste of time when stats show mask wearing and social distancing works even if not perfectly. Plus those that need to be in a hospital and have covid tend to be there for a long time if they don't die first. Prevents other kinds of treatments. So F social distancing and masks and pray you don't get in a car accident.

Not quite, only that the same rules need to apply as to the rest of society. So if mass protests are allowed or "encouraged" with no enforcement... then outdoor gatherings.... However, and there is a big however, if social distancing isn't followed than NY can set any rules they want as long as they apply them evenly, same goes for indoor events. Makes sense... Stadiums are confined spaces and I wonder if an exception can be made for them as well. Masks should be required worn properly too. Would love you anti-mask people no matter your political persuasion to have spent a month with me in the ERs I work in this past April and May. I am betting a different tune. I no I am not flying out to see my 86 year old Dad. PS... A kid came back from FLA and attended a graduation of Chappaqua (Horace Greeley High School and spread the disease to over 80 people last week, an outdoor event because kids were hugging each other and somehow her parents thought it was a good idea to send her to FLA during its spike and lack of social distancing...

I would also argue the entire numerator is not know because of chinese secrecy and death mis Iding. Lots of heart attacks, PEs and Brain aneurysms caused by covid 19 because of clotting it causes. Best estimates are to tract hospitalizations and deaths above the norm to calculate the under reporting of deaths and when this thing actually took off some reports stating possibly last august in China based on increased death rates and hospitalizations.

Gotta agree All Pro, and driving drunk is a serious offense... should he have been shot no and better training of police could have avoided this mess... get a few more guys there... drunks are unpredictable... seen a few too many do stupid things in my ER... that being said does he really need to be shot?

You guys play too much golf... I am not even that good... though I can hit a wood 300 plus yards..., after no idea where the ball is going... pretty good at putt putt though.

Yeh I made a bunch of dumb decisions at that age. Amazing that I survived...

He stunk after getting earholed early in the third. Betting concussion.. Was never called but video showed it clearly. We will see this year if he improves from last year... but his second half of that game was very on Allen like even for him.

Yeh but my cats dominated my dogs... good entertainment for us... but the dogs got ambushed a lot. My last dog could track anything including the cat when it hid on us right before we had to leave to go somewhere. Cat would be pissed.

Male, but I like both and owned both... Cats are just smarter, dogs more loyal.

Holes no, need to improve rt tackle and guard, though it may given guys here, nickle corner though with Norman... could be and big safety/mobile linebacker.. other than that we will see.

Depends... hockey does it... but I think you can only do it if for one player per year and not even sure it is every year... Though there are more leg injuries in football ending one's career than hockey... Make it one every 3 years per team so it used only if exceptional injury no chance of coming back... gives time for player and team to evaluate chance of playing again.

Interesting thread and evaluations... Im not as high on Epenesa as some, but he is needed. Moss I really like. The two receivers have talent, but later round receivers can be such a crap shoot so who knows... Same with CB though seems to be a very good tackler but can he learn to cover better deep through technique Fromm is interesting but again another crap shoot but worth the pick at that point. Kicker if he can become more accurate has a leg.. put him on ps and let him work... Hauska needs competition... I like Beane et al as talent evals so in this weird draft and UDFAs I hope there are a few diamonds. I am hopeful but but will keep my powder dry as far as thinking this was a great draft... too many unknowns. I rate it solid with a chance to be moving much higher. The Diggs trade calculated in makes very good imo Again offseason hope spring eternal... lets see how the pieces all fit in this weird environment.

Moss doesnt grow fat on a rolling stone

Just parroting the President... really on here no one else has.

Like Moss, Hodgins and Jackson... not sure about Epenesa and Davis but as others have said Beane seems to know what he is doing. Up with hope and next year.

LMAO... His task force was a joke.

The last two paragraphs I agree with and the hospital tents built by that national guards were and a god send. The mask issue and stock pile issues caught everyone... The need for ventilators and medical supplies was not an Obama care deal... It goes much further back to Clinton and Bush and the way our healthcare is distributed and regulated. Streamlining and cutting costs have been disjointed at best while healthcare become big business and serving best only those areas with money. Sure it was but laying blame on WHO when our medical professional knew better and were telling Trump otherwise and yet he wasnt publically reacting was a bigger problem.

Medical professionals knew this was unlikely and we were being warned...

In December sure but not by January when even the independent and networked hospital I work at was scrambling because it realized it were about to get overwhelmed... And ps I dont trust China or businesses that use Chinese labor further than I can throw them.

Problem is COVID doesnt care and will expose any cracks... political and or logistics in the system... much like 911.... once all sides get a better sense of their roles the response to new outbreaks will be dealt with much more efficiently.

If what you say is true and sure some is the political blame game, but from what I saw Feds got caught with their pants down. States once they realized this reacted fast to catch up. Feds are finally figuring out what they can do well. Feds couldve been so much better helping with logistics and in some things they did well and other things like mask supplies they FUBARed it. IMO is was more parochial politics like who gets credit and pays for building and paving a bridge on an interstate.

I get the sense that Trump Cuomo relationship is lot like Gingrich Clinton.., they take shots at each other in public when they have different priorities but actually work together well to get ***** done.
