For those that don't know me. Native of WI. Moved to GA when I was 12. Attended GT as a co-op from 88-93. Great time to be there as a student. Didn't miss a home football game or basketball game in my 5 years. Attended the Citrus Bowl game. Went to Wharton in the mid-90's. Currently work...

The original article was in the Washington Post. Not surprisingly, officials won't comment much on it (they won't specify where the threats are coming from, who is making them) other than he has received death threats and that he has a security detail both at work and at home.

Not great news here. Experts told the White House yesterday that the virus can not only spread through coughing or sneezing, but just through talking (and possibly breathing) - through the spread of bioaeresols...

Article on the outbreak in Albany. More people have died from Coronavirus in Dougherty Co than any other county in the state of GA. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/us/albany-georgia-coronavirus/index.html

Just one more sign that we have some real loonies in our country - Dr. Fauci now has a security detail at all times due to threats against him. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/01/politics/anthony-fauci-security-detail/index.html

This is a great article on why it is so hard to create a good model for infectious diseases (like COVID 19). if all you do is look at the pretty charts you will be better off. But i think the final statement in the article is very helpful...

The original plan for UK was your basic 'herd immunity' strategy. It was after the Government was shown projections of how many people in the UK might die with no restrictions that the UK Government changed course. it was the same model with the 1.7-2.2M deaths in the US if no actions were to...

Below is what was in the CNN article that accompanied the podcast. So you can get some of the direct quotes there. From listening to it I would say that he had his highest praise for the 2 Bush's. He also had strong words of praise for Obama. He mentioned that Clinton was smart and had his head...

Jairus Hamilton transfers to MD.

Aamir Simms from Clemson has put his name in the NBA Draft but has not retained an agent so he can return. IMO, in terms of impact on their teams - Simms is second probably only to Hughes at Syracuse in terms of the hit the team takes if he chooses not to return.

I posted this in the Coronavirus thread in the SWARM Lounge but will go ahead and put it here as well as I think it is important enough to internalize. Good article from an American living in China (teaches AP Psychology and English). Talking about how even after the quarantine ends things do...

Good article from an American living in China (teaches AP Psychology and English). Talking about how even after the quarantine ends things do not go back to 'normal'. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/01/opinions/china-coronavirus-end-quarantine-devika-koppikar-opinion/index.html But if there's...

I was going to suggest the same thing. Go to Ramblinwreck.com https://ramblinwreck.com/gtmbb-info-guide-2-2/ https://ramblinwreck.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2019-20-GTMBB-Info-Guide.pdf

Expect to see more games like this one. With AD's not knowing how much money they are going to have, basketball coaches are being told to schedule fewer buy games and more home and home series with P6 opponents. The loss in revenue is forcing teams to look for more games where they don't have...

Are you talking about GT specific or NCAA specific?

FWIW, assuming we have a season, you have to think that teams with alot of new players are going to be at a disadvantage. There is no way schools will have students on campus this summer. GA schools start summer sessions in mid-May. I suspect most schools are not going to allow students on...

I'm not sure if i've shared this story, my apologies if I have. COVID came to our cul-de-sac last weekend. 2 houses down from us we have a young couple who are nurses. The wife is an ICU nurse in metro Atlanta. I saw her husband out on their front stoop last Saturday so I asked them how they...

Two good places to follow numbers. On a US basis CNN has a really good webpage. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/health/coronavirus-us-maps-and-cases/ This site is updated multiple times a day as they get info from state Health Agencies. They have the number of positive cases by state, the...

This always reminds me of my favorite joke in terms of believing in God and using your head. Man is on his front porch and the water is rising through his yard. Police come by- 'Sir we need you to evacuate, the water is going to rise and get worse', man replies 'don't worry, God will provide'...

I haven't looked into the data closely to try to figure that out. i had noticed that some states had peaks way later than others. i do think some of it may be due to the mitigation measures being put in place by different states. States with stronger mitigation measures would be expected to...
