  1. Having a pretty crappy morning. And at the same time blessed. Lost my mom overseas a few days ago and there is nothing we can do about it. Old, overseas, living in a tourist location in the carib. Sounds like this bitch virus might have been the key. Had a long talk with my daughter about it last night. They were quite close. This morning, my 18 year old (no pics) walked off to volunteer at the local food bank. Said dad, we get to have a say in who and how we lose. Folks we can do this. Sorry, rant over, Just had to vent. Thank you all for being here. Fuck OU.

  2. Or maybe their costs went up when they had to double or triple production. Maybe the material costs have gone up and maybe they are needing to pay overtime to their staff to reach the 200K a day production goal. You have no idea at this point, yet you will have no problems taking a shot a capitalism any chance you get.

  3. lulz "Over 20K die from the flu every year!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!!" Numbers keep going up "40K die from car accidents!!! WHAT ARE WE DOING?!?!?!?" Numbers keep going up "1.2M die from cancer and heart disease!!! WHY DON'T WE REACT LIKE THIS TO THAT?!?!?!" Numbers keep going up "Everyone who is born dies someday!!! WHY AREN'T WE MANDATING BIRTH CONTROL?!?!?"

  4. I’m biased but the US of A still has the best fucking hospitals on the planet. Now healthcare can be debated and let’s not go CR. But the actual care in hospitals, should you end up in one, is the best.

  5. Everybody has already shown you how cancer and heart disease patients don't overwhelm our hospitals in short order, and how they don't infect and kill the people trying to treat them. It was pathetic back in February when airheads were pushing the "it's not as bad as the flu", even though the rest of us were like "holy shit, they are completely locking down parts of China, crippling their economy, and arresting people for breaking the quarantine rules. Just how bad is this going to get?" It's now March 26, 2020, and there are still idiots bitching that it's not as bad as the flu, that we shouldn't "destroy our lives over it", that we shouldn't risk our stonk portfolios, that granny may have to die so you can start back at the Cracker Barrel. This is a sports forum focused on The University of Texas at Austin. Maybe they have some experts who could inform us? Why yes, yes they do. https://www.kxan.com/news/ut-modeling-shows-covid-19-demand-could-put-austin-hospitals-at-capacity-in-several-weeks/ Oh, but who are these people talking about such things? But the aggy who think this is just the flu and we should get on with our lives, and I'm not saying you're one of them, but you sure as fuck act like it, I'm sure they will claim that she is just another tsip http://www.bio.utexas.edu/research/meyers/LaurenM/index.html Whooptie Fucking Do, right? PSHAW! Harvard, Stanford? They got nothing on Aggy School of Medicine! I bet UT higher-ups wouldn't even sign off on this. But who the fuck is this guy? I bet he's an ophthalmologist or chiropractor or something and not a real doctor https://dellmed.utexas.edu/directory/clay-johnston But I'm washing my hands and I'm staying 5 feet away from people when I make my daily trips into Krogers! Bbbbut this is hurting my stonks, I need people to get back to work, DAMNIT THE MASS COMMUNICATION MAJOR ON TV SAID IT'S KEEPING US FROM DOING OUR NORMAL THINGS, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND LOTS OF WORDS. The University of Texas at Austin made a nice graph for you But I bet she's not good at computers! Actually, she's pretty fucking good with computers, at least going by what the CDC says about her, but what do they know amirite? Well, she did have some help. Yeah, but seriously, what do her bosses think, that guy that got his epidemwhatever degree at Berkley Step away from the TV, stop taking your advice from communications and business majors who have shows on TV and are doing their best to keep you watching or play to your personal financial anxieties.

  7. Cancer patients and heart patients have never crashed a major city's entire hospital system. This does. That's a big fat difference right there. Cancer and heart disease don't kill the medical professionals treating the patients. This does. Another big fat difference. You are looking at today's numbers -- those aren't the numbers that matter. It's not where we are. It's where we are going. Early on the afternoon of September 4, 2011, there were just two small fires that just sparked up near Bastrop State park. Each one literally covered a few square yards at the beginning. You are jumping up at 2:00 pm on 9/4/11 telling us "look at those tiny fires -- they're just a few feet wide, and all they've burned is a little grass!" By September 6th, that tiny little pair of grass fires looked like this: Do you really think that we're going to stay at 1,000 dead? Do you really think we're not going to eclipse the typical annual flu death rate? Do you really think that we're not ALREADY crashing hospitals in NYC and NOLA? Come the fuck on. You are entitled to your own opinion, but you aren't entitled to your own facts.

  8. That toothless motherfucker still has one of our couches. I haven't brought it up with my wife because I don't want that gotdam thing in my house. Nor do I want to try to chase him down. I think she just forgot about it. And as much as this worldwide fucking disaster is hurting my business, my wife isn't spending money on shit right now. No eating out. We aren't even picking up food from restaurants. No clothes/purse/art purchases. I'm probably making money on this whole deal.

  10. One that just got a text from her husband who really needed an answer right away. My wife is always sending me a text saying something like... Her: "Can you pick up some creamer for my coffee? I'm out. " (2 seconds later) Me: "Ok. I'm at the store now. What flavor do you want?" (5 minutes later) Me: ??? (5 minutes later) Me: Hello? (5 minutes later) I try calling 3 times. Me: "I'm ready to checkout. You're not answering your phone." (Finally I grab French Vanilla and checkout. I'm halfway home and then 30 minutes after her text...) Her: "Sorry. Peppermint Mocha." Me: "Too late now. I got you something else."

  12. Me: I'm not terribly worried about us losing our jobs, but there's a lot of uncertainty right now so anything's possible. Plus with a baby on the way, we need to be smart with our money...spend wisely, no frivolous purchases, etc. Her: I completely understand. ... Her: After my car is paid off this year, I think I'm gonna trade it in for a Range Rover.

  16. It’s truly breathtaking how much important shit Jared Kushner doesn’t accomplish. Seems every time I pick up a newspaper there’s another story about Kushner zooming from one massive unfinished project to the next. One day, he’s busy not bringing peace to the Middle East. The next, he’s parachuting in to make zero progress slowing down a global pandemic. And now we’re reading that this wunderkind of unfinished business has been burning the midnight oil behind the scenes to scuttle billion dollar deals for critical medical equipment. Is there any task so big that Jared Kushner can’t not get it done?

  18. I havent picked my nose all day. Never in my life would I think picking my nose could be a matter of life and death. Like Im prepping for surgery.... Just spent 10 minutes taking Chic filet out of the bag and their containers, putting them on a pan in the oven on 170 for 5 minutes, then putting them on the table for us to eat. This is our second meal out since we locked down 4 weeks ago. Dystopian world I go to my infusion pharmacy every day where half the staff is work from home. We all wear our "at home" masks in our processing room and it has lessened anxiety tremendously since we have to mix our meds for patients daily, including chemo, TPN etc. Traffic at 8am and 530pm in Dallas now is like Kramer and his 2 lane comfort cruise When I get home I go in to the garage where I strip down, put my clothes in the dryer and immediately shower. My wife and I and our son all are in separate rooms until this is over. My 8 yo boy has autism so we cant get sick.

  19. Might have something to do with healthcare workers being in close proximity to the sickest members of the population everyday for hours at a time. But yes please keep your 100 masks to wear on your once a week 20 minute trip to the store, you need it more than anyone. Fuck those piece of shit doctors and nurses.

  24. Your post make me want to gouge my eyeballs out. Your original post railed against the capitalist “manufacturers”. You’ve conveniently moved the goal posts to the “resellers” which nobody here had argued against. Shut the fuck up.

  25. Exactly. I continue to be amazed at the bootlickers' pathological desire to blame someone who hasn't been the President for over 3 years for current failures. This is the Trump presidency. Any and all strategic and tactical errors are ALL TRUMP'S FAULT. This is March, 2020 not March, 2017. Let's get surgical here: the 3-year gains in the economy (LMAO) through February 2020 were all credited to Donald Trump. Therefore, the United States' response to the coronavirus is all credited to Donald Trump. That's just the way it goes, assholes.

  26. Executive summary: French goofus published a halfassed study with enormous flaws. More thorough Chinese study shows little or no therapeutic value. Trump fans reacted by chugging aquarium cleaner.

  27. I’ll have to research a bit but I’m thinking they’re finally gonna see relief with numbers over the next 5-7 days while the rest of us ramp up. I think you were the one who asked about virility/morbidity here vs Europe/Asia. It’s been a few days and we have more data. I guessed at the time that we had a less virulent/potent strain. I do think we have better hospitals but I also think our strain is weaker. There was a good read on it after we guessed that with some facts supporting it. I’ll dig later. Need some rest before more chaos tomorrow.

  33. Exactly, as I mentioned in another thread, both my sister and Bil are ER nurses. They don't make these calls, but they have to deal w/ the consequences. Neither of them are shying away or quitting. They're going to stick it out at great risk to themselves and their 3 daughters. So when I see people keeping/hording masks for themselves, it really pisses me the fuck off. They're not walking into a living Covid petri dish every fucking day taking care of Covid victims. Goddamnit, it pissed me off.

  34. To be fair, the nurses have nothing to do with their PPE inventory. Hospitals are businesses and most business owners like to keep inventory as low as possible while maintaining normal operations. These nurses know how desperate things are about to get in regarding to PPE, so expect some strong emotions to come from them and actions which may seem unethical. Desperate people do desperate things. They are on the front lines, running out of PPE, likely mainly pissed at the hospital management but know directing frustration up that path will only result in excuses and facts that the supply chain is stressed, and know appealing to the general public, who stocked up on masks like toilet paper, is their best hope. All this to say, cut them some slack. You fuckers are probably freaking out when one person coughs on the next aisle at the grocery store. Imagine working in close proximity to it all day. These mask hoarders will have boxes of masks in their attic for the rest of their lives. These nurses feel they need them quickly.

  35. YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT, how the fuck do you think healthcare people get to work? they just live next door to the hospitals? how the fuck do you think pharmacy and grocery workers get to work in order to feed the city? HOW FUCKING DUMB ARE YOU???? jesus fucking christ, please don't reproduce and add another stupid piece of shit to the gene pool. GOD YOU ARE FUCKING DUMB.
