Florida halts football program...Covid

[RU848789]

Sweden is doing excellent right now

The data say otherwise, as cases have gone up by 3-4X since their low in early September, which means deaths will follow soon, as they always do (albeit at lower rates, like we saw here, which were about half what was seen in wave 1, given younger patients and improved procedures/treatments). And of course, they're still in the top 10% of countries with regard to deaths per capita at 585/1MM - which also happens to be about 10X more than their similarly situated (ethnically, culturally, and with regard to population density) Nordic neighbors, Norway and Finland which each have around 50-60 deaths/1MM. So maybe not doing so well after all.

But you will pay to get humiliated on the premium board ...so who's really winning that one, slick?

If you say so shorty LOL.

On the other hand, amazing how quickly you can humiliate yourself on this Board--and funny as all hell. Hit me up when that $12 annual deal is offered again...I'll pay for your subscription to laugh at you there too.

Nick Saban and the Alabama AD have tested positive. Isn't Alabama supposed to play Georgia this weekend? I don't see how the B1G is going to complete a nine game schedule with no extra weeks to reschedule games.

B1G states have generally taken a more responsible approach to dealing with Covid versus a comparative free for all in SEC land, so that may help get the B1G through without many problems...but it will be tough. Where are all the SEC bros who felt the conference was impervious to the disease and shutdowns? WHOOPS!!

ru1234567 or whatever you call yourself,--you are nothing but a guy with an agenda who is full of poo poo and himself --if someone says it's sad how lives have been destroyed by "complete" lock downs and how poverty levels have more than doubled with compete lock downs, as indicated by the WHO , you say they are clueless and bring up your BS about what the US has done wrong--really-- do you have some kind of inferiority complex that you have to spout off long bloated paragraphs on this board to show how "smart" you think you are? you are a typical full of ---it jerk

Yes, of course I have an agenda and have had one since mid-February when the enormity of what was going to hit us really dawned on me - that agenda has been to try to implore people to follow the science and take the appropriate precautions so they don't get sick and possibly die and don't get others sick. Almost every prediction of mine since then has been pretty close to what actually happened - I can list them if you like.

It kills me to see people like you and many others continuing to downplay the risks from this pandemic and to see many of you (not sure if you - I don't follow each person that closely) ignoring masking and distancing and thinking we should just let everyone get infected since "it's not that bad" and thinking we're not that far from herd immunity, which is very unlikely to be true. And I bring up what other countries have done so much better to try to illustrate that this virus can be largely contained with the right tools and behaviors. Imagine if we had simply done as well as Germany - we'd only have about 35-40K deaths with a near cure on our doorstep (antibody cocktails) and vaccines a couple of months away. Would you not have preferred that?

 

[RU-05]

What complete lock downs? Haven't seen one since May or so.

There was never a complete lockdown in this country.

 

[goru1869]

Are you actually this stupid or are you being paid to troll? Asking for a friend.

What is stupid is the BS fearmongering coming from you and others. You are the board ass. I suggest moving on with your life. The science you keep pulling out of your pie hole is proven WRONG almost every day. Now join us who are not afraid of this little bug or crawl back under your bed , don't bump your head or forget your face diaper. JACKASS.

Wearing a mask means a complete lockdown for some.

Sweden is doing excellent right now

Up over 200% in cases since early Sept.

It verifiably is not.

We'd love to move on with our lives. You know what makes that quicker? When people do basic things like not packing into a stadium 90K strong.

It is simple to handle. You don't have to go to the game and if you know anybody who has avoid them if you feel unsafe. Easy enough ? NOW go back under your bed. Do you wear a face diaper when hugging the floor under your bed ?

 

[goru1869]

You're arguing with the dumbest guy on the board...

Not really , no argument going on Thomas. SCIENCE.

[goru1869]

LOL--comparing U.S. to which countries? Same old song and dance.

He's the dumbest scientist on the board .

 

[goru1869]

Just not afraid and not letting it run my life. Are you ? Never mind I know you are.

 

[fsg2]

True.

Haven't even seen the top level US lockdown since May. No idea why people keep complaining that lockdowns are destroying everything they hold dear.

No, but it has an impact regardless. Halloween is pretty much canceled for kids this year because the "adults" around the country can't get their sh÷t together and avoid being self-centered wastes of oxygen.

Strap your mask on tighter so we can't hear you!

Mask . I told you I don't wear one and they are not required at work. And Halloween is not cancelled . That is coming from your hero the murph.

 

[Plum Street]

All the Big Ten Presidents, ADs and Football head coaches should be fired if the Big Ten has bad Covid-19 problems.

I think they made a bad move. They had all the info and still opted to play. They better be right.

100 percent agree.
They decided not to play and then came back with another plan . Plan better work

 

[fsg2]

Is your shirt dusty ?

I have a platform bed.

 

[goru1869]

I have a platform bed.

I don't remember asking what kind of bed you have . I am NOT interested !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fsg2]

Mask . I told you I don't wear one and they are not required at work. And Halloween is not cancelled . That is coming from your hero the murph.

Nah, don't live in NJ. Just had a local event canceled because of high numbers. The event was organized because people will not be trick-or-treating this year ...because of high numbers.

High numbers ..they're the fault of you and those like you.

Fail on your part!

No fail. My Halloween with family and friends will go on with trick or treating and partying . YA see it is my birthday that day SO I WIN ! So how do you squeeze under your bed ?

So you're turning 84?

Will you drop out of your wheelchair and crawl around on your hands like some kind of hellbeast? That would be win.

96 1/2. At my age you count half years. My friend having the party has a rule, NO face diapers . He and his wife invited 63 people . all but 2 will be there . They are getting a keg of a great Jersey beer and we will be BBQing . I would invite you, but fear runs your life now so I can't but you will be in my thoughts , prayers and laughs that day .Time for you to get ready for bed . Did you wash your face diaper today?

You have to be 96.5 if you need 60 people to finish one keg of beer. Lightweight.

OK Donald. I guess wearing a mask and avoiding large gatherings is “running your life”. You are as dumb as a box of rocks.

Your wacko agenda kept getting the Covid threads locked. Good job. Stop attacking other posters and put your politics aside.

Who cares about cases? How many are getting sick? They are closing in on herd immunity and any positives cases are very mild.

Sweden played the long game and won.

Sweden is no where near reaching herd immunity, or in the words of POTUS, herd mentality.

Yeah, right. First COVID thread was going great until the CE board shut down and you and the rest of the CE board refugees starting trolling those threads - that's why they got locked and why the 24/7 experiment failed and why so many threads on this board get locked. Also, I made no political comments in this thread - just posted some facts.

 

[RU848789]

And here's the kind of realistic scientific post we're missing by not having a COVID thread any more. This one's fairly upbeat and will hopefully dispel some fears that people might have about reinfection risks (I always tried to be balanced in my COVID posts).



Lots of concern being expressed about SARS-CoV-2 reinfection risks, especially with the recent case of an 89-year old patient being reinfected and dying. As per my note on this from about 6 weeks ago, linked below, reinfection was always expected to happen sooner or later and while any death is tragic, reinfection rates still look to be negligible and most who have been reinfected had minor cases and we're not seeing any unusual viral mutations going on out in the population.

The vast majority of people who have recovered from COVID should be immune to reinfection for at least 6-12 months (5-7 months demonstrated already) and likely longer, based on data we've seen so far and most experts expect that kind of immunity or longer for vaccines, although it's possible that an effective vaccine may need to be given every few years, which I'm sure most of us could live with.

As Derek Lowe said in his blog entry on this today - like he did yesterday about the holds on two vaccines and the Lilly antibody - don't panic. Here's an informative excerpt from his blog today...
