I'd advise not running with rumors. Why would he even need to go to indiana? Bars are open in illinois.
-
Yes this is one reason why mlb needs to get their stuff in order on this testing frequency. The good thing from his experience was getting tests each day. If it tested negative, the positive test may not have had results until day 6+
-
Unfortunately false negatives will happen, but was he brought in when he tested positive? If not, then what you described is going to kind of be the way things operate.

I watched it friday. It was a very good film production. That said, it feels a lot longer watching as a movie than at the theatre, where the intermission also does a lot more for you.

I'm not sure I understand where this happened as I was checked out. Do they think the players had this prior to arriving in chicago or after?

I think this is where the aerosol controversy will come to play. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/04/health/239-experts-with-one-big-claim-the-coronavirus-is-airborne.html We are again in a situation where the WHO is slowplaying this but it is hard to believe otherwise. With aerosol transmission it can build up and hang where there is little air flow, and social distancing will not matter enough. At my work they said people will not need to wear masks when at their desks since we will be 6 ft apart...I'm guessing that is what many firms will follow (cdc advice after all). And it could be a mistake as big as the terrible mask advice. Should we be trying to scale up medical-type air filters to deploy in schools/office buildings the way air planes have? It sure seems who and official cdc guidance have been more cautious about recommending guidelines which may have a high monetary cost and medium risk of it being unnecessary even when it may have a high human cost if it is necessary.

I'd say the 2000 team was one that brought a lot of sox fans home after the strike. Why was it not more beloved? One - I think it is a popular team to be honest but here's my takes: 1) Definitely the quick exit/sweep especially with some pretty listless games. 2) Failed to live up to its promise: - That young pitching staff that seemed to be on the verge was essentially all gone by 2002 except buerhle - hardly a staple of who we remember on that team - Players like magglio and lee really had their more dominant years later as they took on the team - 2001 was just one of the most unlikeable teams ever, between clayton, wells, and much of the number 1 farm system flaming out at once - On that came out of nowhere and was gone just as fast. The 2003 team did not feel much like that 2000 team at all (though it had the konerko, magglio, lee, thomas threads), and the 2005 team felt nothing like that 2003 team. It was like a bizarro world for a year, like if the 2016 team had actually kept that pace for some weird year. That said, man jose valentin was the best.

I went to starved rock last weekend. I am not huge on outdoor usage when you know you can make space, but there was maybe 2% mask usage including us. And it gets hard to avoid packs of people waiting to move. We just left and went back to camp. But the. Walking past the visitor center and other indoor areas they had signs with masks required and nobody had any. Where I live I don’t remember the last time I saw someone indoors without a mask.

Excellent info in here: https://www.fau.edu/newsdesk/articles/efficacy-facemasks-coronavirus.php

Sorry. I was responding in that paragraph to your previous post about being angry that they didn’t unwind more during the good economy but didn’t quote it.

QE is nice but it isn’t going to plug the demand shortfall like policy would. And I quibble with the idea that the fed didn’t wind down their assets, they did and rightfully stopped. Then coronavirus came, and they’ve done a good job. Apparently we want a really strong dollar in a depression though ?

So this was from the 6 months after we re-acquired him for freddy and pre-re-dealing him for swishers cocaine traveling circus?
-
not sure what's going on with idph site today but 824 cases was put on twitter which freaked me out, however, over 33k tests - most ever, so actually 2.5% pos rate.
-
Good for him, I thought he'd be kinda camp. We had Daniel Breaker before he left to be in the broadway cast. I think Burr is always the star of the musical since it's such a good role but he was incredible.
-
Yeah the trib article was what made me think I would tune in, otherwise I'd probably have skipped it. I was more than happy with the chicago version, and was lucky enough to see the original aaron burr before he left.
-
I've never really liked movies that are just the staged musical but I've heard this does a good job and obviously is cool for people who never had it play near them.

unless you do it as a service. Plenty of revenue side work for ds.

I would say that u of illinois mcs-ds online program is one of the better value programs out there now.

After camping this weekend I would report that no match will light kindling and so we are probably safe.
-
Good day. New cases 724, tests 31,069 = 2.3% Pos rate. The only good news recently is the consistent hitting of 30k tests. With expanding our opening, you'd want that to be 40k at least soon to catch more asymptomatic cases. If you've explored more recently, I highly recommend getting tested after 5 days.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a "good will" move though regardless.

Ex-teammate alleges Grandal took roids in front of teammates

Seeing the discussion around California, Michigan, and now NJ and New York debating wheter to include indoor dining/bars as part of reopening has me dreading the next week. It also is what annoys me about the trying to blame state and local actors equally with fed. That perspective will put blame on governors/locals for reopening if it leads to a surge. It's pretty clear there are specific industries are in the age of covid a specific threat to public health and its the entertainment industry. They make up so much of the real estate and makeup of every town and city in america, and should n't just be told they can't operate and forced to fail, but compensating them with the mechanisms that local and state governments have at their disposal is extremely difficult. You want them to take out loans to support a bunch of individual owners in an industry that is notoriously difficult to keep afloat anyway? If federal lawmakers stepped up and created a bailout for that industry that allowed them to stay closed and would be reimbursed and employees paid at some level there would be nowhere near the local and state pressures to reopen them. Notice how much easier it is for states and locals to keep schools closed - the funding is by and large set, so they are only discussing public health impacts, and despite much less of a public health issue as entertainment it is still up in the air whether they will reopen in many places. Not so with restaurants. Illinois/Chicago should let outdoor dining continue, but this is so stupid to allow indoor dining/bars open from a public health standpoint.
