I wouldn’t be surprised if that doesn’t get resolved until after an official end to the season.

Those people are idiots but I think as a whole the country has done really well despite the challenges. The vast majority of new cases are coming not from people going outside, but the places where people are forced to still be near. Meat plants, retirement homes, health care workers, police and transit workers are getting pummeled by this.

pretty cool. Worked his way up from being a store manager at nike (also played college hoops) to then move into nike corporate making player relationships. Got picked up by Bryan Colangelo in Toronto, then worked in the wizards front office before colangelo picked him up again for the 76ers. Scouting background and then hard to know really what they focus on once in Asst. GM roles but to have the path he did he's clearly a hard worker and did it in multiple orgs.

The hospital in Austin off 290 just opened up a drive thru testing facility and stressed that you don’t need symptoms to make an apt. Feels like we are finally closer to where we need to be.

I was more excited by Austin Brown but if the rumored guys I liked his resume most. Like that he succeeded at multiple organizations. Excited for new era of Bulls. Now to the new coach!

13k tests today, 2100 cases.

Very interesting study Being passed around but yet to be peer reviewed. And try as I may my HS German not good enough to read (though I think erkaltung means common cold?)

2018 the dem moderate candidates did quite well. 2016 was a very odd election. Regardless. Bernie said he would bring out a massive youth vote. He didn’t. He lost his rural support to Biden. He didn’t take more of the Af American vote than last time. He didn’t win over more than half of Warren supporters. He got whooped without Anti-Clinton vote.

Another day of 15k+ tests which is awesome news. 2k positives. Seems we’ve officially gotten over testing hump. Two straight days of lowered positive %

Sounds awesome. 269. Kindle Vildor, CB, Georgia Southern (5-10, 191) An emotional captain, Vildor is a heady competitor who plays fearless and trusts his instincts to point him in the right direction. However, he doesn’t have great size, speed or strength, which severely lowers his margin for error both in coverage and in run support. Overall, Vildor is a tough evaluation because he consistently overachieved as a junior, due to his smarts and short-area quickness, but he didn’t play at the same level as a senior and doesn’t have ideal size or play speed for the position.

Good god

Bears trade up. Conviction. Fired up.

good thread on testing.

Pace and Nagy froze in time when the double doink happened. They are now obsessed with fixing the 2018 bears Achilles heels without realizing the rest of the roster is crumbling around them. Pace knows he’s tied to Nagy and he’s watching a coach in denial rubbing his head saying “if we just had a TE the whole dang thing would work!?”

God this team is in a rut. Garbage decision making.

I've never heard of a backlog like that in illinois like california posts. Last week we heard that ILL had a breakthrough where a bunch of machines they put into hospitals in early april finally went online (they had been delayed weeks due to lack of technicians and installation errors). Also multiple drive thru testing places opened last week. I don't know how much of private labs illinois even uses to be honest (often the cali backlog comes from quest)

I just think it's interesting that when we test 5000 on a day it's 20%, when we test 13000 its 20%, when its 8k its 20%. But ideally we'd be closer to 20k and we are testing thousands that are just possible cases due to known contact.

also second round on it's a lot cheaper to move up. I don't think they'll have any issues.

Over 2500 cases reported in illinois, a new peak by a lot. The good news is nearly 13000 tests were reported, the first time illinois broke over it's goal in late march of 10k. Amazingly we seem to be at 20% positive rate each day.

there are obviously some players i really would like at 43...but i'd still trade down twice.

the orders buy us time to: - Ramp up testing - Build up medical bed capacity - Build up PPE You are currently at 20% of tests showing as positive. That's missin ga lot and still indicating we are still testing only based on symptoms. When we get down to something like 2-3% ideally then we'll be much better at preventing massive growth. We are currently at 1-2k per day at current levels. If you open up it goes much higher very quickly. By the end of may they expect a decline in those numbers through the build up of PPE ideally into places like plants, groceries, first responders and medical professionals. We are in better shape from where we were in march but not that much better in terms of infrastructure. They added 10k or so beds. But testing at 8k is still not where it needs to be, and ppe is still limited to medical professionals though from my friends anecdotes it has not been rationed among first line workers recently.

The thing with BIden I definitely underestimated two years ago is many many people already feel like they know how he'll lead since he was just a VP during a time many of them supported. So this whole idea of trying to paint him negatively is going to be harder because he has some of the incumbent benefits without the negatives of being able to be campaigned against as a current incumbent.

We were nearly at the point of putting my grandmother with alzheimers in assisted living this year and decided to give them more time per my grandfather. So far I've been lucky with immediate family, because I don't think my dad could survive this. He's near 70 with diabetes and heart disease. It's one of those things where with all of them you are prepared for what's coming for all of them. But I get so sad reading from the families who've had to deal with death during this time. The lack of funeral, the inability to be there. So important to have some feeling of closure and being there at the end for those relationships and just so terrible for them. Basically just talking through the idea that when we deal with the statistics of this, if my dad passed away from it it would be one of those "oh well it's only affecting people with multiple conditions". But dealing with it would be traumatic. Terrible times.
