  1. 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.
  2. 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.

    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.
  4. Leury is insane since the season started. Honestly 60 game season is probably the perfect amount for peak Leury.
  5. The new GT GOAT
  6. Lol was just thinking that.
  7. (November 1st 2020) TaylorStSox: I think it’s hilarious all you guys are sad there can’t be a parade for the championship.
  8. 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.
  9. Great baseball
  10. That was a beauty
  11. If we could post gifs you’d be getting some
  12. Cool shot by the camera crew catching Abreu discussing the spin on that pitch.
  13. Maybe when he switched sides mid game it helps him adjust to what the ball will look like
  14. Oh, yikes. Jeeze two returning TJS guys going down right away?
  15. Sorry what is word on Rodon?
  16. Officially 13 positives, 7 players. 30% of a team.
  17. I’m a believer in Engel as a LHP platoon and defensive replacement.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. I feel so bad for lambert, that’s brutal.
  21. Am I understanding that the mlb teams do batch testing every other day and then run the samples individually if there is a positive?
  22. Love when the first page is full of winner threads
