My wife is finally worried about the Coronavirus. She learned that Andy Cohen is infected and it hit close to home.

I have two kids under 5 and we’ve been doing a lot of arts and crafts the past few days. Now I understand why Mrs. Lippy was such a weirdo.

We may need yet another thread for yelling at each other
I’m stuck at home with toddlers and I’ve reached my limit on yelling at them, so now it’s y’alls turn.

Yes, this particular virus originated in their wet markets. Other viruses have originated in other areas, including the US. I'm not saying it is racist to assign some culpability to China for the spread of the virus, particularly as to their initial response to the outbreak. I'm saying that China didn't cause the virus. Nature did (unless and until any evidence shows otherwise). It was pure misfortune that this particular virus ended up being as serious as it appears to be, and that other viruses originating in locations like North America haven't been as serious. We could just as easily have been in a similar position due to some redneck eating an armadillo or something.
That’s like someone splitting atoms and blaming the resulting explosion on nature. Fuck China and their sick ass wet markets, they are to blame for this and let’s not let them forget it.

Based on how many coronavirus patients are saying “they run 5 miles a day,” I’m starting to think exercise is the culprit.

So what is everybody’s thoughts on ordering food to be delivered like pizza or something from a restaurant? It that not really safe in that you have to trust all the people that handle the food from cooking to delivery are not contagious?
The wife and I had this exact same discussion last night, as we’re a little burned out on cooking. We decided against it because the odds are low, but not nonexistent. Damn, now I want a pizza.

So I take a daily vitamin that has zinc in it, wouldn’t that sufficient? I remember talking to a doctor a few years back and he made a remark that Americans have the most vitamin rich piss in the world due to lack of absorption.

And just like that my dream of a tourney filled quarantine is dead.

Because I’m in the Dwight Schrute camp of tracking down the people that got you sick, informing them, and taking overwhelming revenge upon them.

Now they are saying they have "more than one" case in Austin they are keeping an eye on, but no confirmed cases.
Here’s Austin’s one and only chance to quarantine all of the homeless.

A deranged homeless guy set fire to The Grackle. That's a giant fucking metaphor for City of Austin, City Hall, and the homeless.
https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/grackle-sculpture-outside-austin-city-hall-burned-to-the-ground
The Austin Fire Department says an arrest has been made in the intentionally-set fire that destroyed a grackle sculpture in front of Austin City Hall early Monday morning.
67-year-old Rodney Lynn Cook is charged with criminal mischief, a state jail felony.
He's a regular on the crime circuit. But all he needs is a place to sleep...him and thousands of leeches like him.

Fuck Adler, Fuck the City Council and Fuck the homeless.
Damn, he’s long in the tooth.

My wife bought quite a few 2L bottles of hand sanitizer from Sam’s about a year ago. I’ve secretly cursed her many, many times when these monstrosities have taken up space I needed for other items. I’m a big enough man to admit to y’all I was wrong, but smart enough not to admit it to her.

I went to the shooting range yesterday and when I came home my neighbor was loading a bunch of bottled water into his garage. There was this surreal moment when we locked eyes while he was carrying his water and I was carrying my rifle. He realized he just bought my family a shit ton of water.

They just said on NFL Network that Dev ran a 4.39, but I’m not seeing that anywhere.

I was talking to a friend of mine that’s a doctor yesterday and made a joke about wearing a mask. He seems to think that wearing a mask doesn’t do much good at all. Any amount of moisture, which apparently doesn’t take much time, and the mask is useless. Also, the constant adjusting/removing actually encourages you to touch your face. So I thanked him for the advice, hung up the phone, and finished purchasing my masks.

I have a couple toddlers at home, so it’s not really a matter of if but when I get this virus. I’m just ready to get it over with at this point.

I’ve been reading this thread too much apparently. I had to go to a dinner party last weekend with my some of my wive’s friends and I brought up my concern of a pandemic. It was like those older movies where the record skips and they just blankly stare at you. On the bright side, maybe I won’t be invited back.

Recruiting scoop from Pylon Las Vegas.
Dallas’s Team Grind took home the Pylon 7v7 championship in Las Vegas, and the team featured Texas target Isaiah Nwokboia. The three-star prospect is still very high on Texas, but he will likely take a look at west coast schools like Cal and USC. SMU is also very much in the picture for Nwokobia, and I’d venture to say he has the strongest relationships with the Mustangs’ staff. I think that Texas is still in a very strong position here, and Nwokobia is looking to make a fairly quick decision to get it out of the way before his senior season.
—Pasadena (Calif.) Muir cornerback Jamier Johnson had a great showing over the weekend playing for the west coast-based Proway team. Johnson was physically impressive in press coverage, which is probably a good reason why Texas is recruiting him. Johnson said that he’s been in contact with Chris Ash and is working on building a relationship with him. Johnson said that he’d like to make it out to Austin, but he’s not quite sure when he will be able to. As of now, this seems like a longshot unless Johnson makes it to campus.
—Johnson’s high school and 7-on-7 teammate Calen Bullock was one of the most physically impressive prospects I saw all weekend. As a safety with great length and instincts, Bullock constantly was able to jump routes and make plays. Bullock sounds a bit more favorable as far as his chances of making it to Austin for a visit, and if he does, I feel Texas could put themselves in a strong position for him. Bullock said he loves Ash’s defensive philosophy and wants to learn more about the team and university.
—2021 Tacoma (WA.) Lincoln ATH Julien Simon is a player who seems serious about making it to Austin. The four-star prospect spoke highly of Texas and their tradition. Oregon, Penn State, Stanford, UCLA, and Washington are all schools in the mix for Simon, but he said that he’s always held a great amount of respect for the Texas program. If he makes it to Austin, Texas has a chance to work themselves into his top group Texas is the most recent offer, and he would like to get by both Texas and LSU when he makes the trip to Baton Rouge this spring if possible.
—One player who is definitely planning to make a visit to Texas is 2022 Mater Dei cornerback Domani Jackson. Jackson already holds a top 10 national ranking, and he was surprised to hear Texas was interested. As an underclassman, Jackson isn’t allowed to have much contact with the coaches, but his father said they were looking to make a trip to Austin this summer. Jackson is close with Texas defensive back Chris Adimora, and he wants to see Austin for himself.
—In speaking with sources from California, I learned that Texas has been in touch with Los Angeles (Calif.) Loyola athlete Ceyair Wright, and the four-star cornerback is likely to earn an offer soon. He’s already picking up attention from Oregon, Arizona, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Stanford, and USC, but I was told by those sources that Texas is a school that could possibly draw his interest. I was also told that Texas has been looking into Downey (Calif.) Warren safety Xamarion Gordon. Gordon is said to have some ties to Texas, as he used to live in Houston.
—I spoke with a couple of highly ranked prospects at the event to see where interest was in Texas. Steilacoom (WA.) wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and Henderson (NV.) tight end Moliki Matavo both said they aren’t really considering Texas at this time. Sammamish (WA.) Eastside Catholic DL JT Tuimoloau is telling folks that he’s “open to any school,” but sources we spoke with out west said they’d be very surprised if Texas could gain any ground with the No. 1 player in the most recent Top247 update, and Menlo Park (Calif.) Menlo Atherton wide receiver Troy Franklinsaid that the contact with Texas hasn’t been great as of late. Franklin was offered by the previous staff, so it’s possible the new staff is evaluating offer targets.
—Scottsdale (Az.) Saguaro athlete Denzel Burke is a player that seems to be pretty interested in Texas. Burke played with Seattle-based FSP over the weekend, but he’s told those around him that Texas is a school he definitely wants to check out. The Longhorns have had more luck recruiting Arizona than California over the last few years, so this could be a name to watch as we progress into official visit season.
—It’s still early for Jaylon Guilbeau, but Texas is high on his list. Alabama recently came in with an offer, and USC is pushing for him as well. Texas A&M has always been in the picture, but Texas made a strong impression on the 2022 cornerback from Port Arthur Memorial. He wants to take his time with the decision, and he doesn’t really have a timeline for the decision right now.
—Hunter Washington is planning to get back to Texas following the dead period. The 2021 four-star cornerback from Katy visited before the dead period, and he wants to return to spend more time with Jay Valai and the rest of the staff. I’d expect Texas to get an official visit from Washington, and I believe they will be in the mix for his services until the end.
—Shreveport (La.) WR Decoldest Crawfordsaid that Texas is one of the schools that has been in contact with him lately, but he’s locked into his LSU commitment and excited about the future.
’—I spoke briefly with Jacksonville (Fla.) Trinity Christian Academy wide receiver Marcus Burke who told me he plans to make an official visit to Texas this year. The four-star prospect is hearing from Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and Georgia.
—I spoke with Austin LBJ safety Austin Mukuba over the weekend. The former Texas staff never really evaluated him, and the new staff is interested. Mukuba saw his stock rise quite a bit in the last Top247 update, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Texas put an offer on the tale.

If anybody here shops at Sam’s, I highly suggest downloading their app for a speedy checkout. The lines were insanely long, so we just scanned our items with our phone and paid with the card on file. The hardest part was not strutting by all the suckers still waiting in line.
