Are there really that many stupid people here that think this is a good post? Y'all realize that the movement to reform the police would not send social workers to violent situations, right? Where cops wouldn't be sent is to mental health situations, etc. Good Lord I never realized how many idiots there are in the world, and believe me, I thought there were a lot.28 points

Jeez, this post got 5 upvotes. Even if you 6 refuse to acknowledge the health threats, do you rubes not understand that the spread of this highly contagious virus will end up cancelling games left and right, if not the whole season, before November, if it’s not contained by mask wearing? Jesus, I can’t believe how many stupid people are out there, and apparently on this site.10 points

"Haven't a clue who this person is and I really don't care as long as he said something that fits my argument" is definitely on brand for Republicans these days. It's interesting that the current iteration of Republican values is basically just nihilism. Do conservatives believe in anything anymore?10 points

We just checked in to a pretty shitty motel in Rapid City South Dakota. We are staying on the third floor, no luggage carrier, I had to haul just about everything we own up 3 flights of stairs in the roach motel- for a place costing me $928.00 for 8 nights and it sucks. After I finished with that I got to do the family’s laundry in a laundry mat for the rest of my fun filled day Amazing but true fact, we left Dickinson North Dakota today and drove for 100 miles without seeing a gas station until we pulled into a town of 6 people that had a combined gas station (1 pump) diesel and premium only, grocery store and post office. What an utterly strange place to live out there- I don’t get it at all. We rolled through Sturgis and saw tens of thousands of bikers (not my thing but whatever) at their little rally. Got to admit- I’m a little down right now. Miss the RV. We went on a couple five mile hikes and the badlands was amazing to me (wife and kids weren’t impressed) but not the same sense of nature as before. What was ok last week with a nice hotel for $63 a night feels pretty sucky this week with a shitty hotel for $110 a week. Also, next week is supposed to be Yellowstone and the week after that glacier and it’s just really expensive to stay there. I got fired last week (the day before I was looking to quit) and haven’t been paid from my main job in 45 days and am almost out of money while just loading up the credit card debt. These are the times that try mans soul. Except nothing compared to how the men were tried back in Valley Forge, about who those words were penned. All that said I have all sorts of good things to look forward to I guess. Family is healthy. Relatively happy. Wife is doing a good job with school. Kids are doing really well at school. I’m getting more exercise than I’ve gotten in years, I should have some massive commission checks headed my way which would wipe out debt and put a couple coins in my pocket by end of September if I can hold on. I have to think that there are better days ahead- but this thing is feeling pretty rough right now. This week we have my sons birthday and he wants to go to the reptile zoo (largest of its kind in the world), we will go to Rushmore, and badlands national park and Custer (state?National?) park as well. Then figure out what comes next.9 points

Nobody said it's a hoax. Or an "election year takeout", whatever that means. I think it's 100% real, just overhyped and overreacted to at this point given the data we now have about the risk factors and vulnerable populations. I think caution was prudent six-months ago. Hell, I was a proponent of "15 days to flatten the curve". Because there was a lot of stuff we didn't know and we were worried it could be bad. But now that we now what we know, there's no need for society to act like it's the Spanish Flu Part 2. It's super risky to certain populations and very low risk to everyone else. Young and healthy people under age 65 are unlikely to die from it and there are no special complications or symptoms compared to other pathogens and the prevalence of complications does not appear to be that much higher than for other infections, which wasn't that high to begin with. Plus, treatments have gotten better and fewer people are dying in the hospital like they were in April. The "hoax" part has to do with the continued hyped reaction to it from the media despite the data to the contrary. If it bleeds it leads and if it makes a divisive republican president look bad, all the better, but there is simply no justification for the continued hype and overreaction given the data we have now. Young people testing positive is meaningless. Most of them aren't going to be sick and none of them are going to die. There is no need for positive tests to be cited as some kind of bad omen or evidence of a "mistake".8 points

Then they are indeed morons. The plans should have never been about 0 cases, but what do we do once we get cases. America has to come to grips with the fact that you are probably getting the virus if you haven't already had it and didn't know. Protect the vulnerable as much as we can, but this thing is never going away.8 points

The B10 is apparently only worried about those students that might catch Covid on the football field. Why else would they allow students back on campus if there is any risk of them catching covid? Students on campus=good. Football players playing football=bad. Seems odd. If the B10 was really concerned with the health and safety of there students they wouldn’t allow any students on campus but their hypocrisy is showing.8 points

My guess it’ll be at Trump Tower, Maralago, or The private land idea. He won’t give up the opportunity to develop himself to squeeze one last mega-grift out of the American people. There will be no actual ‘library’. No study. No mission. No Introspection. It’ll be a shrine to himself. A la: @Biff Tannen knows what’s up.8 points

NCAA does nothing to coordinate any efforts, then gets mad when 3 of the Power 5 conferences decide to play (which it appears the NCAA was against). NCAA retail sites by canceling the Fall championships it can control without any effort to see what would work. This is now about the NCAA trying to retain some control and relevance. IMO, this is the beginning of the end of the current NCAA model.8 points

I think it’s here to stay under current conditions. MERS has an Ro <1, SARS <2, while most reports of C19 are >2 and possibly >3. Long incubation time coupled with ease of transmission makes it highly infectious. I think there’s too many idiots to believe it’s possible to mask/distance/test/vaccine our way out of this successfully. Imagine Idiocracy II The Pandemic. Im for football with fans in the stands, not as a C19 denier, rather a cynic who thinks the best chance our dumbasses have is to let it run it’s course rapidly and run out of new hosts, or select for something more benign.7 points

My grandfather (RIP) was a Flight Engineer on a B-29 stationed on Tinian. He flew a number of missions over Japan (and later Korea), and said that there had been discussions with his crew that they would've been one of the next crews trained, had there been other bombs made ready. He's far left, back row. Photo of Mt. Fuji that he took with other B-29s from his group. He knew the two atomic bomb flight crews... It wasn't a huge island, much less a massive base, although there were a large contingent of B-29s there. He would've been 99 this year - he passed away 4 years ago. I was lucky to have taken him on his Honor Flight experience. I'll have one in his honor tonight.5 points

No shit. I would make pizza 2-3 times per month if it were up to me. Alas, it is not and I'm lucky to make it once a month. I try at least once a week, but that is met with some resistance every few weeks. Wait...are we still talking about pizza here?5 points

Solid post and you make some good points. And it's nice to see a post absent the histrionic "if all you cocksuckers would have just worn masks, we'd have football now!" This entire thread is a pretty good sampling of the larger COVID debate, albeit with all the Surly charm, and it will be interesting to revisit in a few months once things hopefully start to move past the hysterical stage. "We've had literally over a century to figure out how to mitigate the dangers that already exist in football." This is true, though CTE could be considered a "novel" danger comparatively to the others. And much as how knee injuries are no longer career-ending due to the improvements in treatment, so too with COVID after these last 6 months. Treatments have clearly improved. We aren't doing the same shit we were doing in April, and the virus, for whatever reason, has become far less deadly. Many scientists have written about the T-cell response and herd immunity. Many have discussed the seasonality of coronaviruses. No matter what side of the debate you choose, one thing we do know for certain with this disease is that 80% of the deaths have occurred in people over 65 years of age, and most of the deaths outside that age group had other health issues, including obesity. And no, despite what the scales tell you, a 20 year old 300 lb football player is not "obese" the way a trailer park Okie is. "The unknown longterm effects" is a red herring, and is impossible to refute at this stage. The reason people keep bringing up CTE is due to the fact that the longterm effects of that disease are actually known, yet they are "mitigated" now through protocols and other shit which we all know are likely not a genuine preventative to the issue. Concussion Protocol is used to manage a problem inherent in the sport, not stop it from ever occurring. COVID will be treated the same way. They will attempt to mitigate risk and do what they need to do to manage the situation. CTE will still happen despite all efforts to mitigate, and players will test positive for COVID. And if we aren't going to stop playing football for one, we shouldn't stop for the other. It has nothing to do with "you can't catch CTE standing on the sideline." You could also say that you can't eradicate a virus by shutting down the economy, putting healthy people in quarantine, killing businesses and keeping children out of schools.5 points
