    Todd was it last week that the 5 largest Mississippi Medical Centers, including MMMC were out of ICU beds?

    It isn't about being right or wrong, it's about making the best decision you can with the information you currently have.

    I guess since he falls under #2 on your list, it is what it is right???
    And #1. How many coaches lived?

    How many died that went to a protest?

    Yes. But from what I understand there were some things that they could have done better which would have alleviated their situation. I actually saw a patient or two that normally would have been at UMC and got diverted.

    I'm an essential worker. I've been working through this since day one. I know one person personally that has had COVID. It was a bad cold for few days and that was it. I see dozens of patients Monday through Friday. I've never had a symptom, a fever, or a pain. You'd think being in the medical field I'd be surrounded by people that had been infected or know more people that had been infected.

    Thank the good Lord I?m an essential worker!!!!!! Essential lives matter!!!!!

    My wife’s hospital in Hattiesburg has been out of ICU beds a while now. She spends most of her day figuring out where they gonna put patients.

    Utility workers are working. Kroger, Target, etc. are open. Banks are open. Restaurants and hotels are open. Bumpers is selling ice cream. I can buy a car. I can buy liquor. I can buy a lottery ticket. I've been on a vacation this summer out of state. I can get my oil changed. I can go through the drive-thru at Zaxbys.

    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.

    They claimed that they were like -29 a week or so ago. I'm assuming that's COVID beds most likely and they probably needed to open another unit up to alleviate it.

    Your last paragraph is a pretty ballsy statement for someone who doesn't know what other folks may or may not have experienced during COVID.

    I'm a public school administrator. I've been going to my job as well and earning my pay check. But I still think we should be doing school online this year. Maybe you are more of a man that me but I could almost bet that if someone catches COVID under your watch you can't go to court. I potentially could. And before anyone else negates that could happen. 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.

    He was never diagnosed with COVID. This is fear porn. Read the article again.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MetEdDawg again.

    I run a business. So I assume I can be in court as easily as you, if not easier.

    You must not know much about education. I doubt there is a system in the country that is in court more than the education system.

    People who work for someone don't typically sue them unless they are negligent. Especially in the case of COVID. Catching COVID at school leaves the door open for us to get screwed.

    If one person catches COVID, a lawyer could potentially rip everything apart we did at the school level to determine if we did everything we could to provide a safe environment for students. And if they find anything that didn't, we can go down.

    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.

    This thread is fascinating.

    We've got "fear porn/covid bro/mongering", college AD's are a bunch of liberal academics, "it's simple...just play ball, or lose your scholarship", and now manliness is defined how seriously one takes a global pandemic. Sweet......also, apparently all the sports media desperately want all sports to be cancelled, and are all obnoxiously rooting for that to happen....because....it would somehow benefit those that work in sports media...?

    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...
