Hangman

Pretty bored through two episodes. 

I’ll miss BB After Dark. It was good for giving me something to do when I couldn’t sleep. 

31 year old female with no previously known underlying conditions spent over a week on a ventilator. 

She is at home now, but still on oxygen.

And let's all face it, the majority of people are NOT going to wear a mask.

Additionally, even if we slow the Rona down it will bounce right back.

There is no denying Mother Nature. 

Lunacy! 

Given that studies out of of Sweden are showing that survivors aren’t possessing antibodies as long as hoped, it seems slowing it down is the best we can hope for right now.  Herd immunity might not be possible, so it’s just overwhelming the medical community and watching deaths pile up if we aren’t willing to take any steps to slow the process.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't want to know if I've been exposed.

What you don’t know can’t hurt you.

.2% - Point Two Percent = 2 in 1000 over a 9 week period.

 

New York is at 13 in 100.

 

Thanks for supporting my position!

In what world did I support your position? .2% of the population has ALREADY tested positive. That number doesn’t go down by testing more people.

You talked about testing everyone in the COUNTRY, and I simply used New York as an example to show how your NATIONAL number of 0.1% was ridiculous.

Even if he’s only talking about Kentucky, were closing in on .2% of the population already.

I can feel my brain biggening from all the awesome science being referred to in this thread.

 

Masks help stop spread. That's it.

 

The CDC says so. Johns Hopkins says so. The Mayo clinic says so.

 

What's the problem here?

The sources are too mainstream.

I saw a meme over the weekend that I found appropriate. The gist of it was that if you would carry a gun under the guise that you are protecting others but you won’t wear a mask to potentially do the same, you’re probably just carrying the gun to feel macho.

I wholly agreed with that sentiment.

Wearing a mask doesn’t make you weak or a follower. Is it a guarantee that you won’t get or give the virus because of a piece of cloth? No. But isn’t it worth it to try? Even for the potential for a small benefit?

Okay, I will bite. The average non-mask wearer will whip the average mask wearer every day of the week and twice on Sunday. In other words, keep your mouth shut behind that mask or it probably is not going to end well for you.

This is a ridiculous baseless thing to say. Not wearing a mask doesn’t make you a tough guy.

I’m worried about Jordan’s health. His eyes are so yellow.

I’ll say Shaq.

Pikeville born and bred.

I assume if there’s a hate crime charge attached and a guilty verdict, it would go towards motive.

But I really don’t know what I’m talking about.

No rhyme or reason. Sometimes the activity being investigated dictates when the warrant is served.

 

Example: Let's say there is a drug complaint at a house and the activity picks up in the evening hours after 6pm and continues well into the night. Police stop 2 or 3 cars leaving that house that have drugs in the vehicle by 8 or 9 at night, still relatively early in the evening. They immediately write up and are granted a search warrant from a judge, which takes time, typically no less than 2-3 hours. By the time the investigating officers call for more units to assist in executing the search warrant its now midnight. Typically the execution of said search warrant can take any where from a couple of hours to all day.

 

Ideally a search warrant would be served during daylight hours but police rarely work under ideal circumstances.

I’m just thinking about my own home here. My bedroom is in the back of the house. We sleep with a fan on. I don’t care who knocks or how many times... I’m not going to hear it.

So if my wakeup is literally the sound of someone in my house, it’s not going to end well for a disoriented me.

I’m ignorant on this. Is it normal to execute a search warrant at 1 am?

And to clarify, I am not against challenging prevailing wisdom. We should be doing that. For instance, with the whole COVID-19, I do question how we count certain deaths, I question how well masks really do, and I worry about creating a more sick culture because we over-sanitize our bodies. But I do not take each of those and believe there are vast conspiracies tied to the The Illuminati. Can't an idea just be good or bad without having a back story that only Nicholas Cage's character in National Treasure can solve?

That’s where I’m at as well. Sometimes things just are what they are. Not everything is a conspiracy. I don’t understand the notion to constantly dismiss everything that is presented from the mainstream and accept any alternative as fact.

I never know what the right answer is to these situations. If a program really did violate a big rule, I have never been a proponent of vacating wins or post-season bans. The first means nothing, the second punishes innocent folks. Reducing scholarships again punishes a group not involved. That's not justice.

When everyone involved is long gone, there’s no point in pursuing it any further to me.

The NCAA taking yet another step towards irrelevance.

I am not a gambler but I do know this, almost immediately after setting the line I would have pulled it off the books because again the books have been cooked, roasted, microwaved, grilled, and picked over.

 

I will start a new thread just for you that should be an easier way for us all to look at this.

:lol2: I don’t need a special thread, thanks though.

Didn't the CDC revise their accounting of deaths too? There is so much "change" with the numbers I don't know anyone will ever know what to believe.

 

As to herd immunity, it is what we are doing like it or not. Also, I would look at some states where the "lock-downs" were the least restrictive and maybe Sweden to get some idea how most of America will likely play out with deaths.

 

But to your point, it is going to be a big number but we will never know an accurate number. Never ever...

My only point was it’s been an extremely low over/under benchmark tossed out both times. And we still are pretty far from herd immunity being our only strategy, best I can tell.

Our number of cases per million is significantly higher than Sweden’s so nothing I can infer from that. Using their number of deaths per million as a baseline, we’d be closing in on 90,000 at this point.

To keep it consistent, 2020.

 

Honestly we are never going to know because we have already "cooked the books."

 

Also, think about Tennessee as an anecdote, we are running about the same pace as them per capita and they went with a little more of a herd immunity strategy than Kentucky.

We hit the revised over today, a little over two weeks since we had this discussion. I feel like you’re significantly discounting how high the number goes using only a herd strategy.

Well you'll be happy to know I've almost completed all of my annually required training for 2020! :lol2:

At least something good has come from this. :lol2:

We haven't been processing SBA loans, yet. I'm waiting every day for that to change.

I normally don’t do loans, I’m in compliance. I’m just trying to help with the volume. It was bad for round 1 of the Paycheck Protection loans, but not like this.

The issue as I understand it is that they allowed bulk transmissions from banks that had over 15,000 applications and those bogged it down from the start.
