Doubt it because st Patrick’s and spring break. That will take time to spread.
So basically, all the dickheads that celebrated spring break made the rest of the country's self quarantining pointless during that time period?

Should start seeing a stabilization in the large growth of numbers since social distancing started a little over a week ago

They are really pushing getting a rapid antibody test made to capture asymptomatic people to get a better idea of how this spreads. Said they are getting close to having it done.

Last I saw, actually, the vote is Monday.
They will vote separately on winter and spring (I think)
Hmm, I wonder if theyll approve winter, Spring is a slam dunk.

US is number 1 in coronavirus cases. However, China is likely a bare minimum of 10x the amount they are actually reporting. So we are actually #2

we've always been good defensively under Shaka, but I was honestly hoping that Yaklich would take us to the next level. instead the big xii features four of the top 10 defenses in the country, and Texas wasn't one of them. A bit disappointing.
With that said, *if* GB III does become a Longhorn the. this could be an opportunity for us to play with a much different style than we would have under Yaklich, so I hope that's exactly what we do. With Brown in the fold, we will have so much athleticism across the board that it would behoove us to play a much more up-and-down style that allows us to get out in transition more often, and any type of pack line/no help defense would hinder that. so time will tell how big of a loss this ends up being.
So do all our seniors get another year of eligibility? Did they ever decide on that?

Dan Wolken at USA Today has been sending up flares about this for the last week or so, saying that while no one is in panic mode, they are absolutely starting to prepare for the possibility of a reduced or canceled season. Wolken wants more coaches to get on camera and tell fans, "If you want a 2020 football season, you need to stay home for a few weeks right now." I agree, though it didn't seem to work in Louisiana.
The vibe I've gotten from most sports is there is not much appetite for playing in empty stadiums just for TV. If it's safe enough to play the games, they will let the fans in. Probably lots of hand-wash stations.
It all depends on the famous "curve". If it's still high or in rollercoaster mode this summer, schools won't even open for class and the FB season will be impossible. We'll probably be able to make decent guesses in about a month. (A safe early guess is Notre Dame-Navy won't be playing in Dublin in week zero.)
I guess I just cant see them letting stadiums fill with people unless there is a vaccine (doubtful) or a very effective treatment (possible)

Do you think there will even be a college football season? Maybe with no crowds?
What if a player gets coronavirus, does the whole team get quarantined for 2 weeks and you have to forfeit?

I'm really hoping that is true. If so, the major population centers may have shutdown in time to keep this manageable.
I think so, all we need to do is slow this thing down for a few weeks and everything should go much smoother than whats happening in New York/New Jersey.

Places like NY and NJ have 30+% positive test rates, the virus is not out of control here in Texas

Texas has a dashboard a lot like the Johns Hopkins dashboard, but not as informative (no data over time):
https://txdshs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/ed483ecd702b4298ab01e8b9cafc8b83
Using that data, right now 79 of 715 cases (19%) are in Travis Co. But, Travis Co has about 4% of the state's population.
So, is Travis Co simply more disease-ridden than the rest of the state or simply testing more and finding more cases? Honestly, I could go either way on that one...
In Texas, only 5.4% of tests are positive, thats almost a national low

Doesn't help the surge but might mean we are closer to herd immunity than we think.
Only 14.5% positive tests begs to differ

I'm not trying to twist any words. The drug's shorthand name is chloroquine, and anything you search for "chloroquine" will also include the "phosphate", which is also in the medicinal prescription. Here's the medical facts page on it.
There's second and distinct drug that's hydroxychloroquine. Both are used to treat malaria, and both are currently prescribed medicines.
Fuck man, the people bought a fucking fish bowl cleaner called chloroquine phosphate and drank it. Jesus, dont be this fucking stupid.

Holy shit you fucking people. Are we not allowed to talk about the fucking coaching in a game thread? Does what happens on the field start and end with only what's on the field? Or does the decisions made by the leaders of the team leading up to, during, and after the game also fucking matter and make a material difference on the outcome?
I'm not being hyperbolic to say that people are going to do dumb things and make dumb decisions because of the inconsistent messaging. There's evidence to show that is the case. Those bad decisions - the state of Florida not closing its beaches, small town Texas acting like nothing is going on, etc - are going to have very real and meaningful consequences in terms of health outcomes.
It's not about teams or parties, it's about making the best decisions to give all of us the best shot at getting through the pandemic. That includes the people driving the bus that we're all on together doing and saying things that make sense and are backed by medical experts.
I've been collecting negs for saying that we shouldn't end social distancing in a week, as what the plan appears to be. I don't hold that opinion because "orange man bad", I hold that opinion because that's what the medical experts around the country and on the COVID-19 task force say is their opinion.
You fuckers are just so upset at someone disagreeing with you, that you're looking for any reason to ignore and disengage. I haven't been bringing partisan bullshit or broad brush attacks against people for their political beliefs in here.
Wanna know how I know you are a partisan hack? You start with "You fucking people" then proceed to bring up "orange man bad"
Incredible attempt at moving the goalposts as well, it failed, but hell, the way you were getting toasted, it was worth a shot

Now, nobody is saying that the president is personally liable for these people's terrible decision making. However, it's strong evidence of the danger that comes from a lack of consistent message from the white house, and the president overriding his medical experts advice and counsel on the topic.
No it is hard for you, very hard.
You did the "it isnt his fault completely" HOWEVER "it is still his fault because of his messaging and mainly because I hate him and I am a partisan hack"

Or this interview with them is also illustrative of the point that we're trying to make that people aren't going to use much critical thought
Cloroquine Phosphate is indeed taken on its own to treat malaria. Now, nobody is saying that the president is personally liable for these people's terrible decision making. However, it's strong evidence of the danger that comes from a lack of consistent message from the white house, and the president overriding his medical experts advice and counsel on the topic.
My dude, they DRANK an anti parasite aquarium formula from a fucking store. To put even 1 iota of blame on Trump for Darwin level decision making puts you at partisan hack level 1 million.

Our statistics are fake. Shit, other than South Korea nobody is tracking infections.
I hear you, but what we are missing would make our death rates go down due to the asymptomatic cases. China was not reporting deaths. Big difference.

We're #3 now in cases? We might pass China by the end of the week at this rate.
China is #1 by a mile unless you believe fake statistics

He is laying the foundation for re-opening, hopefully they have some inside info that hydroxychlorquine will work

I'm talking about infection-to-hospitalization and infection-to-death. The second is almost certainly longer than 5 days. But yes, I'm just going on assumptions that might not be correct, same as every other model and statistician our there. We don't know yet.
Gotcha, infection-death is much different, and I have not a clue on that one.

we're looking at lagging indicators by 2-3 weeks from the moment of infection.
Im not sure 14 day incubation is the norm, I think it's more the outside limit of normal, hence why the quarantine is that long. I read somewhere the actual incubation period is typically like 5 days. So I would say we are seeing indicators of 7 days ago at worst.
