    Coronavirus - COVID19

    There is evidence of asymptomatic spreading. So yes, it is not a matter of being affected by it to know if you can spread it, you could be "fine" per se, yet carry it to somebody else. Again, it is important to know how pathogens work. Symptoms shown are the body's reaction to an infection...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    The problem with having a self-centric point of view like that (well, if you aren't at risk of death, not as big a deal) is it ignores how these pathogens work. Yes, you may be fine. What about those you unintentionally transmit the pathogen to? The whole point of taking this sort of thing...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    This article is pretty apolitical, gets updated often, and has useful info: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/dont-panic-the-comprehensive-ars-technica-guide-to-the-coronavirus/

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    Hanlon's Razor exists for a reason, and really applies well in cases like this. Human's love seeing patterns, and love connecting the dots. Unfortunately, they are rarely as organized as people want to believe in the case of bad things occurring. "Never attribute to malice that which is...

    If only businesses looked at building this sort of infrastructure before it is needed. :p

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    My only critique would be of the FDA getting things tied up in a bureaucratic mess for testing and otherwise. There was so much delay on that which caused some of the chain failures seen. Other than that, It seems like things are being taken seriously, even if the messaging can sometimes be...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    I know part of that is the limits in care for Italians given the surge, but also partially the age of the population. Stats are showing this thing being highly impactful to those above 60, but below that, it drops off rapidly. Societal differences have played a part as well...most of the...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    Doing the same thing. Had no intentions of eating out much right now, but those smaller restaurants you like the food of may not be there in a couple months if this thing drags out, so I've been going to get food from them to hopefully do my part to keep them open. Hopefully this doesn't go on...

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    I guess that's kind of my point. I know how the pathologies of these things work; what it's different on this one that caused this level of response?

    Coronavirus - COVID19

    Texas has been leaving a lot of the, let's say more "draconian", measures to the cities themselves. Austin just put a kabosh on all gatherings over 10 people closed all restaurants and such. I fail to see how this virus is any worse than any other pandemic that has occurred though. I...

    CBA

    They have said they could do the extra playoff teams anytime they want, regardless of a new CBA. Pretty sure that's coming next year either way.

    CBA

Training camp padded practices are limited to 16, down from 28. And padded practices will...

    Could it be Tua?

    To clarify, it isn't that I don't get the logic I see people using...I've just never seen that logic be used by the teams in the draft. I don't recall any time a team, in trying to get somebody to give them more for a pick, threatens to take the player everybody would want to trade with them...

    Could it be Tua?

    I keep seeing the logic that "If people think you will take Tua, they will offer more!". Generally, if a team wants a guy, they aren't going to trade away their ability to get him. That's what you usually hear about drafting and trades, is that it's a matter of getting the guy before the...

    Doug Williams and Dwayne Haskins on being a 'Black QB'...

    I do recall it coming up with Griffin. It came up quite a bit the first half of his rookie season, and I know some of it was from the black community questioning if he was black enough, especially as his fiancee was white. With the sheer amount of pundits in the entertainment reporting...

    The New Washington Redskins Thread

    It's kind of how the NFL, and even many businessmen, work. They bring in who they know. Isn't always the best strategy...but it is quite common.

    If I remember correctly, he trucked Landry, not Taylor. I honestly never remember Taylor getting trucked.

    Who will be the new Head Coach

    Personally, I would say we are drafting better than we used to. But that is, in effect, damning with faint praise.
