Sejjr

Damn, that is some serious social distancing. Might be challenging though with the slope in bad weather. What kind of cleats would they use?

Imagine the State Fair on Texas/OU weekend with no Fletcher's lines. Shit, I can't even imagine how many Okie viruses I was exposed to waiting in those lines over the years.

Considering there is still no vaccine for SARS or MERS, I am not too optimistic this new Coronavirus vaccine will be coming any time soon. My money is on your side of that bet.

I just want to remind everyone that this pandemic started with the Deandre Hopkins trade....coincidence?

How apropos would it be that it takes a global pandemic for aggy to win a NC?

You gotta look at this from the perspective of an Okie. Fact is, more Oklahomans will die this year in their trailers from a meth related reason, than will die from COVID-19. And they sure as hell don’t shut down football for that shit, do they? Mike is preachin’ to his choir on this one!

One reason it is still too early to discuss cancelling fall football is because the "peak", according to the models which have so far proven to be much more extreme than the actual data is showing, is still at least 10 days away. And because this is a fast moving thing and data changes daily, and we might find out that a month from now, things look a whole lot better than they do now. Or maybe they go the other way and the shit completely hits the fan...nobody fucking knows. Especially not Kirk Herbstreit and his ilk. So lets see how this plays out over April, and then we can start discussing what to do in September. Just my worthless opinion though.

It is still too early for the talking heads to start talking about canceling football. That shit is not helpful right now.

This is accurate, and perhaps it did have an impact. That said, the CDC did still have a presence there and the bigger issue, according to them, was the Chinese art of controlling the narrative and silencing whistle-blowers. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china-cdc-exclusiv/exclusive-u-s-slashed-cdc-staff-inside-china-prior-to-coronavirus-outbreak-idUSKBN21C3N5

I genuinely have no idea about removing China embedded CDC personnel, but the claims that the CDC was underfunded are apparently unfounded. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/false-claim-about-cdcs-global-anti-pandemic-work/

This issue is far more complicated than simply saying that Trump dismantled Obama's infrastructure. And the Obama administration did not even announce the H1N1 pandemic as a National Emergency until 6 months after the first cases started in the US. And that pandemic infected 60 million people in the US and killed 12,000. Now maybe Obama would have leaned on his delayed response to that pandemic to act more aggressively, or, maybe he would have seen that the country survived without a complete economic shutdown. Who knows? I have seen quite a few comments that US Intelligence knew the extent of the Chinese pandemic, and they warned the administration who then allegedly sat on their hands I guess? This is not verifiable. What we do know is that China in recent years brutally cracked down on our spy network, and they killed over 30 CIA assets embedded in their country. Spying on China is apparently not that simple. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-china-found-cia-spies-leak-2018-8 The real mistake that was made was ever assuming that the WHO was a reliable source about this threat, and trusting the information coming from China in the first place during the early stages. Many weeks were lost, while travel was allowed and the virus was at that point impossible to stop at its source.

The virus originated in the wet markets of Wuhan. The WHO was telling people in mid-January that the according to Chinese medical professionals, the virus could not be spread human-to-human. This was tweeted on their fucking twitter page to the world. Taiwan tried to tell them that this was bullshit, but they were dismissed. Early whistle blowers were silenced or vanished. Chinese people continued to travel around the world. The fucking models that we used to create our strategic response were largely based on Chinese statistics. These are just of few of the crucial facts about the culpability of China and why it matters. I get it that you don't like Trump and that his bravado and early comments were stupid, no doubt. And yes, the US should have been more prepared on our own, starting with the fact that our supply chain is linked with China for so much of our crucial needs. This is not an attempt to pass blame from our own shortcomings. This is the reality that China absolutely made this problem infinitely worse and now the Global Economy is irreparably crippled. Unfortunately, there are a lot of small-minded people in this country who will harass and blame individual Asian-Americans, and that is a shitty aspect of the human condition. But I am able to separate a totalitarian regime with a terrible record of human rights abuses on their own people from the people themselves. Well, except for the ones that eat bats and house pets.

And the Wet Markets have apparently reopened in China now. Great idea, you fucking shitheads. SARS and now COVID. Not to mention the fact that they eat dogs.... FUCK CHINA.

I kept thinking there would be a punchline. "And Karen Key Largo still lives" or something like that.

I really don’t understand the G rating asterisks on the aggy boards. Is “ass” really considered a bad word? And is it spelled with 4 letters now?

Such a classy response. Your expert insight into this unprecedented and world changing event is most welcome. It clearly takes a staggering intellect to discern from my history of lighthearted football related posts my cognitive abilities. And what a brilliant position it is to claim, "if a different person were President, everything would be better!" I did actually appreciate your initial response to my comment. A comment which is often used on these forums (at least the football boards), and is usually meant as a lighthearted jab. I thought for a moment you had a decent sense of humor, something that I personally believe is crucial to maintain during this shit show of a scenario we are living in. But you couldn't help yourself and had to lean on the classic "you are not smart, you will probably die if you weren't such a loser" strategy. But you did throw in the winky emoji. Thanks for that. We are in a fucking global pandemic. GLOBAL. It is a disaster. There are millions of people who don't even know how they will pay their rent, and there are just as many or more who are terrified of getting this horrible disease. I know plenty, and I live in Los Angeles, one of the "hot spots" and have been self-quarantined for over two weeks now. It seems to me that, during times like this, taking a step away from politicising every fucking thing and maybe coming together in a positive way might be in all our best interests. But please, carry on explaining how Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders would have prevented 85,653 confirmed cases of Coronavirus infections in this country. It is super helpful, and hope is a dangerous thing, I'm told.

Chelsea sock confirmed.

Hmmm....very interesting. If you translate “Waco” to Chinese, it sounds like “Wuhan”. I knew those dirty Baptist’s were up to something!

Pretty sure the Caliente Sauce at Wings N' More has proven effective in killing the virus.

Friend in NJ just texted me that they opened the drive through testing center, and the line is over 3 miles long.

Oh Snap! Trump is a dirty Sooner!

Leave it to the Politics board to make me realize today that I am racist against Oklahomans.

Just came here to say fuck you, China!
