I don't know a lot about Morgantown but do know that a new restaurant is opening there and you should check it out, The Winchester. The owners are from Florida but have a couple of restaurants in Ashland and the food is great. One of the best things about it is you can either eat a really high end dinner, or a really nice dinner for less money, depends on what you wanna spend. If you go all out its gonna be expensive but you are going to get the best restaurant food in the area. If you want something cheaper like a grouper sandwich and fries that'll run ya about $16, so there is something for everyone.

Kayaking for sure. It can be super relaxing at a slow pace and finding coves to sit in. Or you can go the whitewater or large lakes route and turn the intensity up a bit. Put in Bay on Lake Erie is my favorite place to kayak. If you're in the bay the water is calm and you can just relax. But if you go out of the bay you're playing around in constant 4+ foot seas, due to the boat traffic as much as the size of the lake.

But back to trusting the numbers issue.. Aren't the numbers what is being used for said guidelines? So if you can't trust the numbers I could see people nit willing to follow the guidelines that said numbers produced. Its kinda a catch 22.

They have been researching covid in general for years. They likely have a vaccine or at least a working treatment for it. Then this new version, covid-19 was either accidentally released from their research facility or its a whole new breed of covid. Yet it's the only version of it that has crashed economies all around the world. So yeah if they have a vaccine or treatment they intend to sell them for profit.

The bolded is the best I can come up with at the moment.

Not a big fan of sweets in general, but ill occasionally partake in a brownie.

Right, its kinda a wait and see approach from me with the facts, at least until they quit changing and the experts start coming to a common agreement.

I get that, but the facts keep changing, so it makes one wonder if they may change again. Originally we thought it arrived here in late February or early March, now we're saying January or late December. Same with China backtracking on when it first showed up there, so who's to say we don't continue to backtrack and determine that it was actually here before January? I trust science, but in a scenario like this you don't always get it right the first time. After all you can only present what info you have to work with and since people weren't being tested in November and December they're working with incomplete data.

It has effected school age kids, they're just not as likely to die from it.

I think your missing my point. If it was around before we knew it was, or any other country for that matter it would have been misdiagnosed at that time, since there was no diagnosis for it. So as far as facts go, no, I don't have any and no one one this website can claim they do either, its all hearsay. No one knows when it originated nor when it made its way here. Which makes it impossible to say the shutdown worked or didn't work. Edit: Another thing to think about is the vapor cartridge illnesses, the symptoms were quite similar. It was here last fall and I did some research on it. Whether the cartridges are filled in the USA/Canada or elsewhere, most were actually manufactured in Wuhan, China. Imagine that, a respitory issue that killed people and no one could really figure out what was causing it, but the actual cartridges were being made in the same area this virus was discovered at a later date.

So you believe what China is telling us? They still haven't said when patient zero occurred and they have backtracked a couple of months already as far as when it hit there. But you trust their numbers?

So you buy that it was in China in November, but didn't reach the USA until January? It could be here in a day, a few days or a week. It taking two months to reach us is a stretch though, imo. You can fly from China to the west coast of the USA in a matter of hours.

Anyone have any info on Tyler Marcum? I can't find any on him, nor was he listed on Cabell Midlands roster last season. So I'm not sure if he's a transfer or a kid that has just decided to start playing basketball.

Or even November. Given how quickly people can travel it could have been here the same day it was there if patient zero traveled, or infected people that do travel. My entire family was sick off and on from November thru February, some worse than others. My mother for instance could barely breath but tested negative for the flu and strep in November. Her doctor said it was a respitory infection and prescribed her a z-pack. She coughed all kinds of stuff up but it did get her well. What I'm getting at with my last two posts is that no one knows how long it has been around, here or anywhere else. So using shutdown numbers to say it worked isn't a good measure when claiming it would be worse if we didn't shut down.

Last fall was the worst "flu" outbreak I've ever seen in my lifetime as far as shutting schools down over and over, etc. No one could figure it out, kids as well as adults were being tested for both types of the flu as well as strep, yet results were negative for both in a lot of cases. So doctors wrote it off as a respitory infection. Is it possible that this virus was here for a while due to China hiding it for so long? If doctors and others in the medical field didn't know it existed back then they would diagnose it as the closest thing they can relate it to.

The guy that filmed the video was arrested today for murder as well.

By assuming the shutdown worked you're assuming that we shut down as soon as the virus was here. What if it was here last fall and we went months and months (during Christmas shopping season even) without a shutdown? Shouldn't we all be dead by now if thats the case?

That and clam chowder are by far my two top favorites.

My mom really likes it. Its okay, but not one of my favorites.

Now that we have some guidelines as to what a soup is my top three in order are: 1. Lobster bisque 2. New England clam chowder (white) 3. Basil and tomato bisque.

They return a lot from last seasons squad that finished 33-0. I wouldn't expect another undefeated season but they are likely the favorite to win the region.

Hopefully you're right, another state championship trophy and banner would be a nice addition to James A. Anderson gymnasium.

What is the definition of soup lol? Can we include chowders, bisques, etc?

That should always be the goal, but making it a reality is easier said than done.

From the video I've seen on him he will definitely be a nice asset for the Tomcats. Cuts to the basket well and is also able to catch lob passes for dunks in transition. I imagine he and Porter will get along just fine in that aspect.
