I don't think 17% is accurate unless you are cherry picking certain states, and even then I'd be skeptical it isn't just due to testing increases. Illinois, the state in question, has seen higher numbers the last week but lower % positive. 2. We know viruses are less transmittable outdoors than indoors. We know the combination of heat, humidity, and sunlight are less hospitable to the virus. We know people wearing masks lowers transmission. We know keeping at a distance lowers transmission and washing your hands kills the virus. All of the activities allow people to take advantage of these, and there are very known upsides to letting people enjoy the outdoors and sunlight and exercise. 3. Obviously we will see with Illinois (where the % positives aren't increasing btw).

Also important to note I only included teams playing this week because I'm not waiting.

Saladino is the only one I've seen referenced.

Samsung Lions have saladino so seem like the obvious winner https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2020/05/espn-agrees-to-kbo-broadcast-deal.html Wed. May 6: Doosan Bears vs. LG Twins (5:30am EST) Thurs.

steph, kd, klay...who is your fourth? His first championship maybe igoudala was better but draymond does a lot by guarding the 5s.

I think it's fine for states to open up things that they revise to be low-risk. And when you allow garden centers to open you marginally increase risk in one way (going to the store) while decreasing it in others (less likely to hire landscapers/ gardening is a stay at home activity). Curbside pickup, etc., a lot of these stores allowed this were still working but doing delivery. Not much of a change.

I’m apparently wrong and I was too young to know anyway but that Phoenix team was the only one I was scared was going to beat the bulls.

Yeah I think this is the reality, and it also feels like he is in that same boat Angelo was in where he keeps trying to plug the holes of a roster that’s not good enough rather than being able to improve it.

Good news, 19500 tests reported in Illinois today.

Better day in IL. 15000+ tests and 2500 cases. Of course that would have been disappointing as of last wed but here we are.

I just hope illinois uptick in testing is picking up people it was missing prior. But then we are at another 2 weeks of this song and dance before we know if it's working. We have to start opening up places for people to quarantine without family.

This doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.

illinois cases growing again. 15k tests, 3100 new cases. Positive rate was dipping with more tests, now back to where it was. Nothing changes, 20% positive rate this entire month. I have no idea if it's spreading in places it wasn't before, not changing at all in chicago, what. But with everyone staying home this thing is at one person infecting one other person. They need to figure something out that's different.

Your wife shaved her head to go out?

FYI if anyone needs one in Chicagoland or knows of someone who does: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-cb-coronavirus-chicago-area-mask-giveaways-list-20200430-6t66tjw2pfcrzmqvakusrj7oi4-story.html

In South Korea they opened churches with assigned seating. Maybe they try same as yours. It will allow them to do tracing better afterwards if someone gets sick.

There are a lot more people now. This will not pass the civil war's devastation on that front and hopefully nothing ever will. The Spanish Flu killed 650,000 people in the US with about 1/3rd of the population. Hopefully we won't even surpass the raw numbers. But at same proportion of the population that would be around 1.65 MM people. Lets hope we don't get anywhere near either.

today's illinois numbers are annoying to me. I have to wonder if it is time they make the declaration california did where all can get a test that want them.

We don't really know what the effects will be yet. America chose to allow UI benefits be its mechanism for now and that may end up being foolish. But more than half on unemployment are making more than they did on their jobs when this money can get out. That is different from the great depression, where it didn't exist until 1935, and it didn't pay people more. And in the great depression, it had a fed that didn't provide enough money.

The europeans will be able to thank the Fed.

I want to throw some of the opposite out. While the federal government has been often terrible here in the places i think it can make the biggest impact (purchasing power, borrowing) - State and local governments have been doing quite well in addressing the pandemic, including some very ambitious and amazing work to get additional PPE and testing set-up. - The American people have answered the call, doing a very good job as a whole of staying inside. We can get upset all we want about the isolated stories, but in the times i've had to drive around - chicago is empty. My dad is in raleigh. Had a march of hundreds being idiots - but raleigh is empty. My mom is in SC, should be heart of the antagonistic audience right? Her town is empty. People have been sewing their own masks, buying medical workers lunches, donating to causes. - The federal reserve has been doing everything possible and incredibly dynamic to address anything within its power to ensure this does not only not become a financial crisis, but work to get money into hands of organizations that typically don't interact with the Fed. You also have the fed pushing HARD on the fed government to inject more money to cover the losses, ruining arguments that worry about borrowing now. - Congress deployed trillions within a month. It isn't enough, and could have been designed better, but in 2008 it took a year to fully respond and it was much less robust. It has taken a while to get money out, but that isn't just a US problem. - Tech companies did a pretty remarkable job to protect their workers and sound alarms of the severity before many, and may have saved many in california. Connectivity has been remarkable despite the surge. As a whole, companies have had priorities in right place, and it's fine to argue against those that have not. It's not enough and people should demand more because more can be given, a lot more in terms of resources to help people and businesses recover. obviously, the admin has been garbage and antagonistic to much of this work, but a lot of this country has mobilized very positively.

This has been discussed before: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200429000724 ”Reinfections” were false positives initially or patients who never officially cleared it from system.

Well, we are at 14k tests again. We are at 2k new cases again. Very frustrated at how illinois has been unable to bend the curve downward.

I think with Kukoc on the floor teams would A) pick and roll him to death and most guards would eat him up on switches B) Make him guard a stretch forward 25 feet from the rim where most all can blow by him and create a rotation His closeouts have to do with playing close to forwards who can now, like him, shoot the 3. But maybe he'd be as doncic had he come over at 21 and pace being what it is. Luka sucks defensively. He just seems a lot stiffer and more like a better shooting mirotic.
