  1. Agreed, poor use of anecdotal with regards to a positive test. More anecdotal into my kids activities (school, sports, spend the nights, camp, etc.), their exposure, their mask wearing, their peers mask wearing(poor) and so on that may not represent other kids' experiences. I find it hard to believe my kids haven't directly been exposed many, many times. They've been in school for 5 weeks in the middle of the delta surge with "masks optional" (I'd guess 15% do so) and there have been very few cases at the school. Not one in any of my kid's classes. That tells me, either most everyone has already had it, or its borderline unnoticeable in the kids who have gotten it.
  2. This thing has been going on for what...80 weeks? And 44% of kids in one class got it in a single week? For that small sample size, 80% seems easy. I know very few HS and zero college kids (obviously older than 18) that didn't have it. Elementary age seem to be asymptomatic or minor symptoms. My 8 year old tested positive for antibodies and we were like WTF? I have no evidence, just gut feeling that they've all been exposed so much its impossible.
  3. No chance 80% of kids under 12 have been infected? Or no chance they haven't? The other 14 probably had it before. My kids haven't missed a day of school since last August, while playing every sport they could sign up for. I imagine they've been exposed 100 times a piece.
  4. As a parent of 8, 10 and 12 year olds, I think its damn near impossible that they haven't already had Covid. Anecdotal, but I would believe 80% of kids under 12 have been infected.
  5. Not to mention that symptoms are much less in vaccinated and a symptomatic person is much more likely to spread through coughing, sneezing, runny nose, etc.
  6. If someone had Covid, fared well, and has active antibodies, I just don't have a problem with them waiting to take the vaccine. I don't get the anger over that either. That wasn't a wacko study showing natural immunity fared better than the vaccine. Gupta isn't a wacko for asking Fauci about it and Fauci wasn't wacko for not speaking against it.
  7. Well, that's totally different than the comment I disagreed with and if you would've posted that, I wouldn't have disagreed. Obviously, if you choose a super valuable employee and they become less valuable (in hospital, not working and racking up a million in costs) or dead and no longer producing, that is a poor decision. But that's not what you said. You implied that no employee is worth losing 3 lesser employees and any company in that situation isn't doing it right in the first place.
  8. False. In this hypothetical, the company is forced to choose. There are many companies that would choose 1 super valuable employee over 3 less valuable employees. They would prefer to have all 4, but forced to choose would be better off keeping the one super valuable employee. Think of every company that you think of as successful. All of them can probably "afford" to lose 3 employees. All them probably have lost multiple employees every year to retirement, competitors, firings, etc. They probably didn't want to lose them, but the fact that they could afford to and keep chugging along means they were doing something right in the first place.
  9. A few years ago there was a hog fan on here (actually probably shaggy) than referred to gif's as mini movies. That guy fucked.
  10. Ridgeway had an appendectomy last Saturday. I still doubt he’s good to go though. Pool is a terribly overrated LB. Grades out poorly every week. Makes All SEC due to high tackle numbers. Morgan is legit though.
  11. So.. Negative test + vaccination + 10 day quarantine. Yikes.
  12. Some fries, like CFA and Wendy's, are only good right out of the fryer and hot. Whataburger's hold up pretty well even when lukewarm. McD's hold up for the longest.
  13. Took the kids in for an antibody tests on Friday. Oldest's school allows you to forgo quarantine due to exposure if you have positive antibodies. Did the other two just to know. Turns out the two that went to camp in July (one had two positive cases in his cabin) tested negative. Ye, my 8 year old tested positive for IgG antibodies. Pretty much the exact opposite of my expectations. Not even sure what to do with that info.
  14. This may be unpopular, but from what I've seen nurses are some of the worst anti-vaxxers. Last numbers I saw have them around 50% vaccinated, while the physicians are around 96%. Classic case of knowing just enough to be dangerous. And unfortunately, people trust them on this stuff.
  15. I like the grilled sandwiches but the grilled nuggets are not good.
  16. Just so damn consistent. They even have good milkshakes. Their breakfast burrito used to be great, with grilled onions and peppers, but they changed it. Also, I've always been a Polynesian sauce guy but this has moved up the list
