CC I'll take that fantasy bet and my man is Mike Leach in that game.Quote:

But we can't play football. Let's cancel football forever. They might catch a stomach bug or the flu from a teammate. Or might have a wreck going to practice. Or might die from playing (Chuckie Mullins and our own Rodney Stowers).
I'm living my life. I'm working and earning my paycheck. I guess I'm more of a man than some on this board who are still cowering in their house.
No. They all weren't actually out of beds.Quote:

Think again. We've already been warned about it by multiple people.
So you'll forgive me if I have a slightly less manly version of how this could play out than you.

We should know by the end of September how dangerous COVID truly is. We are about to send kids to school for the first time since there's been widespread proliferation of the virus. Should be an interesting test to see how easily kids pass it, how dangerous it is to them, and if they do indeed bring it home and pass it along to family members easily.
Fake news. They weren't all full.Quote:

Yup. Down is up. Up is down. And the Earth is flat***

Look, I know there is definitely some amount of "fear porn" out there. But there definitely seems to be a lot more "head in sand", "happy thoughts", "all is well"...dare I say """propaganda""" taking root in certain circles. I guess we'll see...
My hospital's ICU has a little over 50% Covid patients, and we stopped a lot of elective surgeries in July. So we would have definitely been overwhelmed if we hadn't shut down those elective surgeries that require an ICU bed like open heart surgery.
Open heart surgery is elective?Quote:

Sweden never shut down, had a very low death rate and didn't destroy their economy needlessly. It should infuriate everyone that people are losing their businesses not because they had a poor business model, but because their government forced them out.Quote:

As was stated Sept/Oct is the timeline. i am going to get all the fishing i can in before then because i think its going to explode and off to a new deployment. hope i am wrong. one thing about it we will know who is right and who is wrong by Dec.Quote:

I hoping this is our surge, and the numbers go back down in a month or so.Quote:

We've had to float some of the CVR nurses to take care of Covid patients.Quote:
