Thanks for sharing this! I'm not an epidemiologist, but this looks like about as good of a study as could done given the circumstances. Based on what we've seen about how contagious this thing is, I think Ro calculated in this study is probably more accurate than the previous estimate in the...

Never mind. I wrote something stupid because I didn't read your whole post. By bad.

Well done. Todd is a true Starbury. Wait, never mind, that's someone else. Todd's good too, though.

Here's the Time magazine article: https://time.com/5818134/anthony-fauci-never-shake-hands-coronavirus/ I am not impressed with Dr. Fauci on this one either. Here his the actual quote: “I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again, to be honest with you. Not only would it be good to...

This is a fairly long document, but nice to know that there are others thinking about how this re-opening will happen. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/National-Coronavirus-Response-a-Road-Map-to-Recovering.pdf

It's like being the highest ranked PAC-12 football team. Still not all that much to be proud of. I will say, though, that there are plenty of hospitals who have criteria for prescribing hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for COVID-19 patients, and I think it is entirely appropriate given that there are...

The biggest reason COVID-19 is so contagious now is that no one's immune system had ever seen it before last fall. The more people that develop antibodies and t-cells that respond to it, the less contagious it will become. You may have heard of a number called R naught (Ro) as a factor that...

Great question! I believe the COVID numbers in the US because they are based on actual death certificates (this may cause a slight underestimate of deaths but probably not much). I actually do believe the pediatric flu death numbers from the CDC because they are also based on death...

I am not sure where this information is coming from but none of the other coronaviruses are seasonal. So I do not know why we would expect this one to be. Aside from the hottest of summer days in Atlanta, there is not an environment for the virus much more hot or humid than the human body...

I see comments suggesting that we can't have football this fall because the players will need to be tested way too frequently and fans would need to be screened before going into the stadium. It's true, something like that would be incredibly cumbersome and difficult to pull off. I do not...

On a vaccine: I see people putting a lot of hope in a vaccine. I would caution against that. By the time a vaccine is actually developed, there is probably going to be a fair amount of herd immunity to COVID-19 and a vaccine may not even be warranted. But even if a vaccine is warranted there...

There is a lot of misinformation out there and a lot of people misinterpreting the facts. My interpretation is far from perfect either, but I want to share a few thoughts that I hope are helpful and might perhaps clear up some misconceptions. I really like RamblinRed's posts because they are...

Thanks for sharing, Red. I posted a way-too-long reply in the thread titled, "Will the 2020 college football season start on time? By CBS SPORTS"

Thanks for starting a new thread on this. I'm posting here sort of as a continuation to the direction that the 2020 off-season thread was heading. This is long, gets pretty technical, and is also just one other idiot's opinion. So please feel free to ignore. I don't plan on posting many more...

Red, I love your posts and respect the hell out of you. I have decided to respectfully disagree with some of your reasoning here, though. Please respect my decision. I think that your comment and some other related comments are missing the point for why society is doing the whole social...

The CDC estimates that there have been 41,000 deaths related to influenza this year in the US. There have been 273 deaths and counting from COVID-19 so far in the US. I mention this in no way to downplay the importance of COVID and all the things we are trying to do to slow it down. The...

I was at that 1990 Maryland game. Don’t remember much because I was pretty young, but I remember getting bored because Tech was dominating the Twerps. Thanks for sharing the video!

Nice topic! The 2008 FSU game had a fumble at the goal line. So I'm not sure if that counts, but if it does, I think that would be my favorite. Thank you Cooper Taylor's helmet!

Just my opinion, but if Yates was the best QB on the team last year in the minds of the coaches, then he would have played much more last year. I don't think these coaches red shirt players who they think can contribute right away. Doesn't mean Yates won't earn playing time this year though.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or somewhere else, but I found this somewhat interesting and thought I’d share. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2876174-college-football-teams-with-the-most-turnaround-potential-next-season Interesting that of the 7 teams, 3 are from the ACC coastal...
