It is a fair question and criticism to be sure. That said, the story is getting a lot of attention now. The questions that could also be asked, are things like, this was 27 years ago, way back in his past, why bring it up now? Will people investigate the accuser and the story the same as they did Kavanaugh’s accuser? If holes start to appear in the story, will he be defended as vehemently as people did Kavanaugh?

It actually is the same person. After retiring from the police force in Milwaukee, he was a professor at UM.

It seems more and more people are losing patience and are pushing for a lifting of some restrictions. With anything there is risk involved. Japan is seeing a second wave of the outbreak just a month after lifting restrictions. I am pretty certain that this will be a common theme as more and more states and countries look to get their economy on track. I guess we have to weigh the risk vs the reward? What are we willing to give up as a State or nation so that our lives can be closer to what they were just a few months ago? https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/13/832981899/emergency-declared-in-japanese-prefecture-hit-by-2nd-wave-of-coronavirus-infecti?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR0NNy1juQwC76lqmK7G6v-60HnwegURJ8PMV6o5YCuLfhUkT-IYEbR0aZM

Texas Governor Abbott is looking to slowly lift current restrictions; looking to strike a balance between the safety of the people of Texas and the economic state of of Texas. That said, we need to be careful trying to return to "normal" too soon. Japan is just a month into having lifted restrictions, and a 2nd wave is hitting them hard now. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/13/832981899/emergency-declared-in-japanese-prefecture-hit-by-2nd-wave-of-coronavirus-infecti?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR0NNy1juQwC76lqmK7G6v-60HnwegURJ8PMV6o5YCuLfhUkT-IYEbR0aZM

This is such sad news. Paul was a great man, always willing to talk football. He will be missed. Prayers to his family and friends.

I think I have figured out where I left off on Fear now. I missed the episode, must have been the finale, when Madison sets off the flare that kills here in the ball park. I did not see who came to help Aaron and Alden, all it showed was them being surrounded, and then it showed them fighting and killing most of the whisperers in the preview. I will have to go back and watch the preview again, I missed who was in the mask.

Huge props to John Krasinski. A lot of great stuff here. Episode 1....make sure you watch through the end; it is really cool. Episode 2

Princess is a great character It did appear that Alden and Aaron were following behind them, but got too close. YES, I hate when Beta is whispering. I cannot understand him. I am curious, if the filming bumped into the beginning of the virus outbreak, did the producers hurry things along? There was not a lot of flow to this one. The preview for Beyond looked interesting

He started one on the main forum to serve as a distraction as to what was going on, and it was moved here. He is one that did not dare to venture into the OOB Forum until now. 🙂 I did merge the two just now.......Welcome aboard Gipper.

I REALLY hope you are right. BUT, with not to get too far off topic; if there is no viable vaccine, the fact is the virus will always be around, just like many other viruses and strains of them. With no vaccine, we could easily see another outbreak of this as people start going back to work, school and practice, as well as gathering in large crowds. Not to create fear, but the fact is we will wake up to a different world once this outbreak has eased up or even passed.

My guess for the short term will be to ban workouts in June. I think we are in a wait and see mode through the month of May though. I don't think any decision will come sooner than mid May.

He has the reach of an OT. He is MUCH more fundamentally sound as an OL than he is a DL. It is obvious from the few plays on DL that the coaches just let him freelance and try to reek havoc in the back field with no real gap responsibility. As Coach Nowling said too, at that height, leverage would be an issue against O linemen he would be up against on the next level.

A friend of mine brought up this question as well......remember late last year we were seeing the stories about so many people dying because their lungs were being destroyed by vaping? In general, vaping had not been considered that unsafe. It was the THC in the vape that was causing these problems. I am not sure what the thing is called that contains the material that is inhaled, but those were made in China. We had this discussion in our teachers lounge before the shutdown that there did seem to be a lot of absences and extended illnesses among staff and students late last semester. Not trusting the Chinese government at all, I have little doubt the virus was here before they reported their first cases.

3M is making 10 million masks a week, but the person in charge in Florida cannot buy a single one because he does not have the cash up front to pay for them. 3M says their dealers are selling them to foreign countries for cash up front though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW3dyjRR8V8&fbclid=IwAR1YXguEPXmCVFu_G7N1LXEZ8VNVFvBkG2Sn2Jq6MaOB_9WQE8fhMNnCdpA

ok....how about the other questions I asked?

I understand your position on this, but I also understand the concerns about the virus. It is a double edged sword. How many lives are worth losing to keep the economy going? Is it worth contaminating the food supply chains that exist in the country? How many people would lose their jobs because they do get sick, and need the extended time off beyond what an employer allows? Are we ok with the notion that with no limits, that hospitals will be the ones deciding who to treat and who to not treat? I already know of a few cases in this area of those choices already being made, but with no closures or orders, how many more would that involve? Ultimately, wouldn't the economy end up being just as damaged or even worse than it is now if there were not bans or restrictions in place?

I get that; neither statement answered my question though. But, based on your logic, you are saying we SHOULD be listening to Dr. Fauci then, who said we need further testing, research, etc. before approving this drug for this treatment, since he IS an expert in the field and NOT to President Trump, since he is not an expert, right?

Notice the very top of the article is labeled in large print "Opinion". I have seen "opinions" on a lot of topics that have been published; from both sides. So, what exactly in the article is inaccurate? IF this treatment does work; awesome. But the comparisons to people who have been treated with it to those who were not are not overwhelmingly convincing. If we reach a point where there is no doubt, awesome. I really do hope this does work in the long run, especially since I am in a higher risk group. The one concern the article did raise is that people who need the drug for treatment of Lupus, are being left short of the supply they need because so many others have chosen to self medicate with it.

You know full well he did. But, just to show others how childish you are being....here ya go.
