  1. You got me, did not realize you were 100 feet away, eating with 5 other people independently and not talking. Yes, perhaps we can convert all of our malls to a single restaurant where each seated party gets its own storefront, I agree that will be safer than Montrose. Now back to reality.
  2. It has nothing to do with practices, indoor dining is not safe. There are some restaurants that have immense windows that open up and those may be the best shot, but that beach is going to be safer. Go into a restaurant and spray a bunch of spray-on sunscreen. Now do that outside. The dilution is immense outside. Restaurants should be required to have medical grade air filters to be open indoors, but there is no requirement that they even advertise that or let people know. There is no way to judge risk right now. But outdoors is not just greater it is >>>>>>>>>>>>> The tracing results just do not find many outdoor super spread events.
  3. What change will you get at a restaurant? When people are sitting down and eating their masks are off. If you request to move farther away, there is no guarantee you are that much safer without knowing how the air is filtered and moves about the restaurant. The best thing you can do is remove yourself from the restaurant.
  4. This is true, but the problem is how just unbelievably awful the communication on different types of risk has been. For an individual trying to avoid getting covid but committed to either a) going to the beach where there is a large gathering of unmasked people or b) going to an enclosed restaurant with 6 ft apart tables and they asked which is better to avoid getting COVID, I would tell them a so long as they themselves committed to keeping at a 6 ft distance and wore a mask themselves. The benefit to the city is if there is a super spread event at a restaurant now it is just a small number of people with reservations to track, vs 500 people that will be incredibly different to track. But they aren't tracking for shit anyways right now, they have not done anything to communicate the benefits of open air flow and just act like if you wash your hands and are 6 feet apart you will be safe. We are 6 months in, test and trace is only implemented in a handful of states. The benefit of open airflow is mostly well known in the general populace but the political leaders don't explicitly state it probably because it would affect businesses who are operating "safely" by their guidelines, so why should they then say "hey don't go out to restaurants". There is hope around this saliva testing in large samples. But everything is so slow to roll-out, and no guidelines ever get updated. We are now at daily case levels that make it impossible to contain and track, and our solution is just double down on saying "please wear a mask"? gmafb. The politicians obsess over the beach stuff because it is so photogenic and embarrassing, but go inside any restaurant right now and see something just as dangerous and sanctioned.
  5. Actually this isn't bad. But I actually think he still has that rawness Bo had due to the competition left in Cuba and his year or so time off.
  6. So that was the treasury, not the fed, and you can either have speed or precision. When the entire global economy is coming to a screeching halt, loans are going to go to companies that can be picked apart. But we already see the issue when congress starts to focus on precision, those that actually need the money have to wait months with no support so some vulnerable politicians don’t get hit with a negative ad.
  7. Leury is insane since the season started. Honestly 60 game season is probably the perfect amount for peak Leury.
  8. (November 1st 2020) TaylorStSox: I think it’s hilarious all you guys are sad there can’t be a parade for the championship.
  9. Rodon is a gut punch, but this was very enjoyable, intense baseball. And just well played. One of my favorite pure baseball games since that Nats series last year.
  10. If we could post gifs you’d be getting some
  11. Cool shot by the camera crew catching Abreu discussing the spin on that pitch.
  12. Maybe when he switched sides mid game it helps him adjust to what the ball will look like
  13. Oh, yikes. Jeeze two returning TJS guys going down right away?
  14. Officially 13 positives, 7 players. 30% of a team.
  15. I’m a believer in Engel as a LHP platoon and defensive replacement.
  16. Yes and he’ll get the mlb pension. But to be close to majors, get TJ, recover, get to majors during a season without fans or family to see you, then a possible career ending injury after only a few games...just sucks.
  17. An important thing to remember about treatment is the body also heals itself. There is a famous anecdote of a doctor who was famous for identifying cases of TB early, when in fact he was spreading it to his patients with his tests. point being, unless you are doing a double blind controlled experiment, you will not be able to really understand if the drug or the body is causing people to improve. when that has happened, hydrochloraquine hasn’t helped at best. A drug named remdesivir has shown improvement. It’s costly to make in time and cost and is still only being used on an emergency basis. You’d be better focusing on that.
