I don’t think her fans liked her because they thought she was anti establishment.

Oh gmafb

If he’s Jose Abreu and signed for 64 million less that is a very good outcome. There is a lot of room beneath cespedes and Robert whole still being worth a few mill

They are also typically partitioned so the exposure is likely contained to the court itself

I'd wait until the next season begins before making this judgment.

These things are all very unlikely. Worst issue is the group getting together to talk at midcourt. Surface transmission continues to see very low reports, I think outdoor tennis is good. As caulfield said, main concern is air conditioning flow indoors. They are certainly way more spread out than an indoor exercise class, with max of 4 players over a huge space. But the heavy breathing is a concern. We will see but I'd tend to believe it's not that terrible to reopen.

What a day! 29300 tests 2268 positive cases 7.7% positive rate, a new low. 100 fewer people on ventilators than last week, hospitalization declining.

but yes restaurants/night clubs/entertainment do not have much of a lobbying group and it has led to them getting short shrifted despite being the most affected, and forcefully limited, by governments. Throw money at them.

I think outdoor is going to be fine. Moving forward indoor is going to be difficult as the air conditioning really does seem to cause issues. I wouldn't advise going with company as much but going with family you live with it should be nice.

This is ah-mazing. I love every part of this story.

you mean *stifles laughter* before Jerry Reinsdorf got there

Good day in IL for testing and cases, bad day for deaths. First day under 20k in a while, but 18k+ tests reported and 1545 cases for a 8.5% positive rate.

I apparently saw Jordan play in old chicago stadium, and I don't remember it at all. A happy memory for my dad. We started going to a lot of games during the rebuild (khalid el-amiiiiinnnn)and that's when I started really getting into basketball in the type of fandom I have today. Going to games live is so important for really starting to get into sports as a kid. Can't wait until it can happen again

It was great, glad it was made. I was too young to appreciate what it meant because it started as my earliest memories. I had no perspective how crazy it was to have the hometown team be a global phenomenon. I remember being confused when in tv shows "jordan coming to town" was something they were excited for rather than dreading. I can't believe they didn't do the Rodman mcdonalds cups though. That was so, so important to me.

I wouldn't consider this floating. If you take kelley you probably get a deal, but I would hope they don't pick him to get a deal. I don't feel confident saying any one player will make it to 47, but when I see an expensive college pitcher at 47 I'd guess it's a play on van eyk, burns or mlodzinski falling. I could just as easily him in the teens, but it's a mock draft, so I'll go with the pitcher I like most.

Well it's above slot. I've seen him and Van Eyk all over the place though, yeah I guess I would put the money on college pitching rising all things considered.

I am going to try and guess that you went kelley / mlodzinski

And this is a great piece to understand more about that Moderna newsyesterday https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/05/18/first-results-from-modernas-coronavirus-vaccine

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-coronavirus-drug-vaccine-status/ excellent resource to help keep track of all of the medical and vaccine research.

Tests have been broadened significantly, while some places still require symptoms, many allow testing if you believe to be exposed. But yes it's positive daily tests/total daily tests

Meh day reporting wise in IL. but it’s top level certainly seems down. 21300 tests. 2300 positive. (Roughly) 11%

Calling for the government to scale things up is the opposite of perfect hindsight. Your incredulousness that the US should "take government factories" and "start producing testing immediately" is funny since that is quite literally what they are supposed to do! Despite it being a new virus it is exactly what many other smaller and less equipped governments were capable of doing.

Even if you accepted that no other country is comparable to America, and that no other outbreak was comparable to this, the idea that you can't criticize the president of the united states for not doing a good enough job at something novel and new is not compelling. The federal gov't is good at scaling up and mobilizing production that makes coordinating nationally a lot easier than by state. The US approach has been incredibly water-fall like. It first had to build out medical capacity and protective gear then it built out testing then it is now building out tracing and just now has the tsa starting to do prevention with temperature checks an forcing mask wearing. This stuff was happening all at once in other countries that have been more successful. Alaska has had a comprehensive tracing system due to TB to its advantage and has done exceedingly well. NOLA had good amounts of testing early on and bent its curve earlier. But state by state they were competing with other countries purchases and slowing everything down. For the last century the US public health infrastructure has been so good at not just preventing things in the US, but assisting at preventing outbreaks from occurring. Now the US response was at best average compared to other countries instead of world-leading. You could ask why that is, or you could say that you are being mean. Or worse - that some unelected people with much less information at their disposal than the president of the united states didn't know exactly what to do in february so therefore nobody is allowed to say that the president misstepped.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-18/vaccine-from-moderna-shows-early-signs-of-viral-immune-response?sref=vuYGislZ Nice hopeful news but info from pharma CEOs on early results will be overly optimistic (and even if it wasn't there is so much still left to do). But better than "the results were trash"
