The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Right and blizzards are rare so I have no problem with that. Just like I don't have a problem temporarily it being a requirement to wear a mask in public spaces during the outbreak of a novel virus. A virus that we still don't know much about other than it's highly contagious, can be carried by those asymptomatic, and at least has a death rate of .1% minimum. The minor inconvenience of wearing a mask to cover my mouth and nose in public spaces is a sacrifice I'm willing to make to take in order to get this economy back up and running. -

How do you feel about smoking bans in public places? -

No. Just during the actual blizzard. You know, like wearing masks in close public spaces during an actual pandemic. -

No argument there. Different situations are indeed different. -

Driving bans during blizzards is just the first step on the road to communism and tyrannical rule. -

Pretty much every winter except this last one during blizzards. -

Opinions on a hypothetical trade
Doc Brown replied to offsides#76FredSmerlas's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Depends on the circumstance. Joe Montana had enough value for the 49ers to get a first round pick for him knowing they had Steve Young ready to go. Jaguars traded Rob Johnson while he had value for a 1st and a 4th with Mark Brunell already at the helm. Cowboys traded Herschel Walker when he had value because they needed a stock load of picks to build their team. We traded Watkins and Darby for a 2nd and 3rd round pick when they had value. I don't know if I'd consider John Brown a reliable Chevy given he too has an injury history, but I'd rather have him at a cheaper price than AJ Green at this point. Especially given his chemistry with Allen and the uncertainty surrounding AJ Green's health. -
Dolphins Reveal Plans for Attendance at Games This Year
Doc Brown replied to WotAGuy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Can't wait for the Packers plans. You can do the Lambeau Leap but you might just end up bouncing against the wall and risk being paralyzed. -
Can of StarKist tuna in water, drain water, spoonful of mayo, mix, spread on white bread, place on toast in toaster oven for about 5 minutes. Enjoy. No. I'm American.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

I vote Democrat but this shouldn't be a political issue as it should be data driven. If I was a policy maker right now I think there's enough data out there that we should push for reopening asap and following Sweden's model to reach herd immunity asap before we do even more long term damage to our economy. A vaccine (which is basically a shortcut to herd immunity) is too far down the road and that's assuming we can develop one. If a similar amount of people are going to die, I'd rather see a spike in deaths immediately and get back to regular life than long term lockdowns where the same amount of people die at a slower rate. -

First, they overestimate the deaths. Then they underestimate the deaths. The IMHE model I believe they're using fell outside the 95% confidence interval 70% of the time when projecting number of deaths in individual states. That's a horrible model. Why are they still using it when setting policy? -

I'm just wondering the legality of it if the employee feels the job is unsafe to return because of the coronavirus. What kind of protections do employers have? Can employees sue the employer if they contract the virus after returning to work? Can family members of a dead employee sue the employer who returned to work? -

True but the state can take their unemployment benefits away if they refuse to return to work because it would be considered a voluntary quit. -

They're slowly reopening in the middle of May. She's been widely praised for the early lockdown measures because of the number of low covid 19 deaths in Oregon relative to other states. -

That was an Illinois protester as their governor is Jewish. I don't believe Whitmer is. Disgusting none the less but you can't take one idiot and apply that to every protester. If states start demanding people go back to work while the deaths are still this high you're going to see even more protests. -
Thanks for the memories I'll never forget that Chargers game when the power went out and all you could see in the restroom was the light from the cell phones. One thing I'll add is I remember that season in retrospect is we beat teams early one we thought were better than they really were at the time early on. We dominated the Seahawks in the opener who were a five years in a row playoff who ended up finishing 4-12. Then we won at Jacksonville who was 11-5 the year before that finished 5-11. We squeaked by a bad Raiders team and dominated a horrible Rams team on the road.

It'll be Stidham's team. He beat out Hoyer for the backup role last year so they obviously see potential there. McDaniels has had a year to groom him learning behind Brady. He was a projected potential first round pick going into his junior season but regressed that year. The Pats will rely heavily on their defense and running game like they did in Brady's first couple of seasons.
