    The missing element here is the VIRUS. It could care less about the free will of human beings; all it's looking for is hosts. And that is what this person is providing. Until we can get the VIRUS to decide the it won't infect people if they come in to get a haircut of their own free will - and I...

    At the foreseeable cost of more COVID-19 infections and deaths! The lack of moral depth in her behavior is absolutely astounding. Oth, I can see why the Court ordered her released. You have to have valid order in place, even in Texas.
  3. Coronavirus Thread

    Your post contradicts itself within two sentences. Unless of course, you think the public health officials in South Carolina just made up new guidelines sort of on their own. Did you check their sources? Now you are right about one thing. Depending on such guidelines is not necessary if you...

    I think this is both true and false. It is true that a much larger proportion of the world's population will be infected before we can ramp up the necessary countermeasures. But I don't doubt the current figures. We could easily have 35% of the world's confirmed cases, at this time. I doubt we...

    Btw, curious about the CDC guidelines that were suppressed by the government? Sure you are. Here you go: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6883734/CDC-Business-Plans.pdf As I said at the first presentation, these guidelines make sense, if you want to actually re-activate the economy...

    Except that all counts at this point are almost certainly undercounts, I don't see the basis for your concern. Most of the European countries have had the virus among them longer then we have and certainly have little incentive to underreport. I might add that most of them have public health...

    Appeals to common sense are notoriously unreliable. See Duncan Watts. 2011. Everything is Obvious Once You Know the Answer. New York: Crown Business. As I say every two months or so, everybody should read this book. I doubt that it is. I've looked into this a bit more and I think it may be...

    I don't see why you doubt the US death and cases figures, given that you cite our larger population in your first sentence. As I say above, I think that's one reason for the greater toll the virus is taking here. Besides, the actual question being examined by the graphs is the course of the...

    Now, you know very well that this isn't true. Right now we are making the best of the numbers that we can, but it is obvious - to me, at least - who is using them insincerely to push an agenda and who is using scientific standards to draw conclusions. (If you are talking about personal opinions...

    A quick look at the number of tests per million population would tell you that we are still far behind other countries, especially those that have beat the thing down. Further, the chart only compares us to European countries, a valid way to look at the trajectory of the comparative curves...

    Since we are looking at "opening up", it might be wise to look at the question comparatively. See: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases Other countries appear to have done a much better job at "flattening the curve" then we have. (Well … we are doing better then Brazil.) In some cases...

    True and I can tell you one reason why: Peeples was the best blocker for his size on the field in almost every game. He ended up leading the runners more often then not.
  13. Christian Malloy has Entered the Transfer Portal

    Well … yes. By that I didn't mean that he would turn down an Orrin Smith or an Anthony Allen when one came his way; far from it, he went after players like that every year. However, he was willing to take some backs to play AB - Green, Searcy, Peeples, and others - that could play that role on...

    Soooooo … why does Belgium have the highest rate of COVID-19 deaths per million population of non-San Marino European country? See: https://www.livemint.com/news/world/why-europe-s-capital-has-world-s-highest-virus-death-rate-11587806581013.html They say it's because they are counting all the...

    And now Malloy. I still think he is talented enough to start at Tech in any RB position, but he was caught in a coaching transition that did not favor him. It's a fact of college football life that when new coaches come in they normally favor players they have recruited, even if they are brand...
