Well … except that Georgia and Texas have exactly the same number of cases per 100K population (336) and are following pretty much the same rate of Covid increase (see https://www.covidexitstrategy.org). Why am I not reassured? Because the numbers are about the same as one of the big three...

I agree. Learning online is problematic except for more mature students and then only for required courses or those not requiring extended discussion or personal interaction with teachers. (I.e. it works for a basic computer science course, but not for a second year one.) And I agree that what I...

Or going out to a school where you can infect many other children who then carry it home. Rinse and repeat.. Mind, I'm not against opening the schools again, even before we have a vaccine. But opening them in the middle of a surge like we are now experiencing is, imho, down right crazy. Get...

Yes. I didn't recognize him at first. He can carry it easily, however.

I thought that Waller was always the most physically talented player on the field when he was at Tech. (Even more then Shaq or Justin? Yes, imho.) I've only seen that combination of size and speed once: Calvin had it. It is unfortunate that he never put that talent to the use he has in the pros...

So much for the "kids don't transmit the virus" meme. See: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/10/20-1315_article And with 58K+ respondents, the test results are almost certain to be reliable.

Lord Keynes was right: "If we can do it, we can afford it." Only works in countries that have their own currency, of course.

I enjoyed watching him when he played. He will be missed. Btw, the film on his career shows a bunch of double options with him as the pitch man.

I keep saying the new look sucks. Actually, I can take or leave it. My main problem is that it scrolls longer because all the extra stuff means each post takes up more room. It also offends against a general preference for minimalism on my part; fewer geegaws the better, say I. But I can...

Yes. The question is what kind of physical superiority. Different offensives require different kinds. But, yes again, both coaches want bigger guys. The verdict will be out on speed until we actually play, but I'd be surprised if we lost straight ahead speed with the program we are using. And...

I'm betting that this would depend on the amount of social distancing being done. The protests, for instance, have not led to any major outbreaks. Most people were wearing masks, the demonstrations were outside, and everyone was moving most of the time. Oth, if you stand around for more then 10...

I don't think I read a single thing on the website about behavior concerning the virus. All it did was tell you the estimated risk was of another person with the virus being in gatherings of various sizes. (You can check.) You can draw whatever inference from that you wish, of course. Mine was...

As I said, the estimates don't guarantee that you will either contact or contract the virus. They are precautionary only. But the simple fact is that if you have attended gatherings of this size, no matter where you are, you will have a much higher chance (virtually 100%) of having possible...

Well, the data are purely precautionary. If you wear a mask and keep your distance, a, say, 28% chance that someone in a gathering of 10 people is infected is not an estimate of whether you will contact or contract the virus. In fact, the chances of that would, I think, be pretty low. Oth, at...

Ok, this looks good. The only question I have is whether the training is for football or to put on muscle. The two are not the same. I assume that our SC guys are doing this correctly. In which case, good news. I'm all for bigger, stronger guys now that we have gone to push and dance blocking...

Tech to the rescue again! Want to know the risk that someone will have SARS-Cov-2 in your county, given different crowd sizes? Goto: https://covid19risk.biosci.gatech.edu/?fbclid=IwAR3zlJTaIqseFn0BVFxmX1sy8YuuxKnQDm_HlQ2EuB0GjXdWEJF3KNs_DEc I live in Cobb County. In a gathering of 10 people...

I don't know if anybody has posted this: https://fivethirtyeight.com/videos/an-interview-with-dr-anthony-fauci/ This is the 538 interview with Dr. Fauci that has gotten so much press recently. It has the additional upside of allowing the guys to look at Anne Rothschild, a certified babe. Short...

I like this, but it would be even easier to only play teams in our division. That keeps the championship game and reduces the number of games. But … I continue to think that the season will have to be punted. Both the number of cases and the number of deaths are going up. If that continues...

Me! Me! Me! Why, in the name of all that's holy, should anyone want to play Notre Dame regularly? I've never been able to see the point.
