  1. Maybe they are. These kids are thrown into a horrible situation, I think they deserve more understanding than mockery.
  2. Well, if they think 2nd semester is more likely to be in person, they may skip paying full tuition for a semester for a diminished experience and just graduate in 4.5 years. Perhaps they could watch other peoples kids and make money. Maybe that could even be facilitated through a fed program like americorps.
  3. A concern, the valuations of these companies have ezploded, but vaccines aren’t a huge money maker. And there will be losers.
  4. Oxford/AstroZeneca reporter promising results again today. Them and Moderna continuing to lead, I’d probably put my money on Oxford who has a better track record.
  5. Also you’d want to know the effects of opening a window (subways showed opening windows on cars was beneficial) and what freaking should have happened in April which is the fed govt helping scale production of medical grade air filtering to be installed in schools. Both could easily counteract with this purportedly smaller amount of viral exertion.
  6. Entertainment value if this game is cratering.
  7. I hope we brought the crosstown cup with us
  8. Obviously no, it is not a bad thing.
  9. They will not now, and having a single room in elementary school is very easy compared to others where there is no home room. PE is out, art/music travels in many districts already.
  10. It’s 4th and 5th. And considering elementary doesn’t change classrooms it makes case that elementary school is most able to go in person for some days at least. That is what oak park is doing, split b/w HS (all online) and elementary (2-1-2)
  11. So, like, teams did know the astros were cheating.
  12. I have a hard time speaking with total confidence on what’s happening in Illinois right now. I am disappointed in the growth in cases. Despite significant increases in testing, the positivity rate has increased, along with daily case counts. It is growing, it is. But hospitalization since since its low point in July 4th is, with today’s numbers, up just 1% 2 weeks later. That’s 3 weeks after the rise began and a bit more that that with reopening to phase 4. And despite not having tracers truly up and ready, I’ve found the DPHs at city, county, state level to be strangely confident. My one hunch is IL may be much better at actually testing problem spots. That by mid June it was very good at knowing how at risk population was (front line, etc) but missing some big community hot spots. Their mobile testing may very well be helping uncover better what was already there. Thats a hunch at least. Perhaps testing is now better aligning positives to previous hospitalization trends.
  13. so Grandal is Phineas Gage.
  14. that was on encarnacion, vaughn got it there and on a pretty easy hop to take care of.
  15. lol was just about to say that Moncada's English had gotten really good but I guess they had Billy Russo's audio over Moncada talking.
  16. zomg first gig in a white sox jersey experience. Gonna guess Grandal is a bit more generous with this strike zone.
  17. well could have gone with Rodon/Lopez getting shelled but yes there is nice depth which for a sprint like this is valuable just in being able to throw really good arms into the mix for a bullpen day.
  18. How dare you Dylan? How dare you do that!
  19. Ha, IDPH used to post at 2:30 on the dot, and they've started to go all over the place so I can't keep up.
  20. Thanks. Thank you to the individuals volunteering for this, I was hoping challenge trials could be utilized. First I've seen of IDPH starting to change tune: https://twitter.com/IDPH/status/1283844960555462657?s=20
