  1. He is planning to mail-in his write-in candidate for this years' election. Footbawwww!!!
  2. Dam son. Surly is savage!
  3. He said "i justh don't theee how it can happen".
  4. "Flattening the Curve" was never meant to eliminate "cases" or deaths. It was meant to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.
  5. This shit right here is why you don't want to use "23 and Me".
  6. Your edgy spelling has convinced me. Shut it down. Shut it down now!
  7. Kid has some amazing football bloodlines.
  8. If COVID had a face, it would look like Steve Patterson.
  9. It didn't specify, just says student-athletes.
  10. Was curious about the Clemson COVID cases and this is the most recent info I could find: Aggregate Results as of June 26: Total COVID tests (student-athletes + staff): 430 Individuals who have tested positive: 47 Individuals with active COVID cases: 19 ——— All Student-Athletes: 290 tests, 43 positive, 18 active Staff Aggregate Results: 140 tests, 4 positive, 1 active They also stated that there were zero hospitalizations of any of the cases, and half of the cases were asymptomatic. I expect most schools will be reporting something similar.
  11. I’d pay very good money to watch Liucci try and fight Orgeron.
  12. aggy and Chin Pubes can whistle past the graveyard here, but they are now under increased scrutiny with an out of control bag hag situation. It’s just a matter of time.
  13. Yesterday in Los Angeles, while Mayor Garcetti was making his announcement telling people they were "still" prohibited from gathering in groups outside for everyone's safety, literally right outside City Hall a protest was happening with thousands of people. They closed the beaches, they closed down businesses again for a minimum of 3 weeks, and the public health director has even finally admitted that the protests contributed to the surge in postive cases. Yet these protests are permitted to continue, with more scheduled and more to come. This is the shit that is so frustrating. The protests contributed to this surge in LA. Of that, there is no doubt. Just fucking tell people that, tell them it was a worthy cause, and fucking encourage people to hold off on protesting for a bit...but they won't do that, for fear of offending people? This weak, confusing, and contradictory messaging does nothing to help this situation.
  14. In fairness, aggy has been one of the Top 14 teams in that conference, no doubt.
  15. Don't forget the Camel Dung cloud, bro.
  16. Studies have been trickling out recently pointing to possible higher immunity due to T-cell response. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/05/t-cells-found-covid-19-patients-bode-well-long-term-immunity https://news.ki.se/immunity-to-covid-19-is-probably-higher-than-tests-have-shown https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-35331/v1
  17. This thread is the Black Hole we need in times like these.
  18. I think we see a little closer to eye to eye than you might think. Look, I miss the days of 4 long months ago where I rarely paid too much attention to politics day-to-day, and spent more of my time with the hand wringers on the recruiting board. I miss those goofy bastards...I want football, as most of us do. I am just beyond tired of the cherry picking of data to fit a politically motivated position, "experts" who have been completely wrong (and in some cases, criminally so), and dogmatic opinions with no room for an opposing viewpoint, right or wrong. I am tired of negative news always taking precedence over any positive news. I have a hard time understanding why everyone in this country isn't seeking out the best case scenarios in every new data set. I am also frustrated with all the inconsistencies from local government decisions to the way states report their data. I don't personally think cloth masks are very effective at preventing the spread of this virus, but I still wear one every day because if it does possibly help at all, why wouldn't you wear one? It isn't that big a sacrifice, annoying as it may be. I still believe there is a chance that this current surge in cases will taper off in the next 2-3 weeks, and we will get a clearer picture of what we might expect come September. I think the football decision makers will wait as long as they possibly can before they make any decision regarding cancelling the upcoming season. It just seems like there are a lot of people that want the worst case scenario to play out, and I will never understand that.
  19. No you ignorant fool...1, 3 ,4, 2....huge difference!
  20. I appreciate your attempt to have an actual discussion about this. I know based on some of your subsequent posts that you'd be tempted like to call me a "flat-earther" or something, but you took the time to address and question my points. So thanks for that. I was limiting that post to Los Angeles, because that is where I live, and that is what I know first hand. I can tell you that despite what you may have read, there are no bars open for business and there have not been since March 12. And the restaurants that were allowed to open a few weeks ago, a majority of them chose to wait until we were further along in our phased reopening. Or some were opening the day the protests started, and a few of these were destroyed and looted, so they shut down again. Plus many restaurants and bars did not even have a staff that could start working again, because most were laid off, and they are making similar or more money from unemployment than working at the restaurant or bar. Everyone wears masks here whenever they are outside. You even see people riding their bike, by themselves, wearing a mask. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone not wearing a mask. And now they are mandatory again, thanks to the "spike" or "surge" or whatever you want to call the increase in positive tests over the last 10 days or so. So, I look at the numbers, and seed the rise in positive cases. I watched 20,000 people marching down Hollywood a few blocks from where I live. The VAST majority of these people were in their 20s. Many of the new cases are also skewing much younger as well. And yes, I am speculating here, but I do believe many of these people were not working, were unemployed, and were out of school due to the previous 3 months of lockdowns. So after being browbeaten about COVID for all this time, suddenly, you are free to come out and protest all day long side-by-side with friends you may not have seen in a while, and this was a signal that many felt the COVID scare was over, especially among this lower risk group of people. The media instantly stopped talking about cases and deaths and comorbidities. The larger point is, we received a new order on Sunday closing all beaches and bike paths (again, WTF?), limiting any gatherings to only your immediate family, and all fireworks were prohibited. I understand the last one because you want to prevent large gatherings, but after allowing MASSIVE gatherings for over two weeks, and then claiming that protests had no effect on this current surge, despite the timing, I want to know the logic behind any closure that prevents people from going outside. You can't have it both ways. If protests had no effect on the spread because "outdoor transmission," then be consistent for fucks' sake.
  21. ...COVID charts.
  22. Reading comprehension is clearly lost on you. I very specifically and clearly asked about Los Angeles County. I did not ask about Michigan, or your "stories of clusters of infected people" on a beach somewhere. Bars were not reopened here. Beach infections are trivial (outdoor infections, see:protests) as are infections on bike trails, though I am sure you have many stories of bike trail infections somewhere. You really got me good. That chart comes from information from the Covid Tracking Project. Just like the chart referenced above from John's Hopkins. And nearly all the charts that get tossed around on twitter.
  23. Can you provide your source for percent positive case rates? This chart appears to disagree with your statement.
