  1. Yeah, most of the world has a level of immunity to it because we are all the ancestors of people who survived it.
  2. Before. This was a part of their intake process and neither player had been in camp.
  3. It seems like you need a more direct contact outdoors just based on the circumstantial evidence, Like I said, I am not ready to proclaim it a truth. I still won't go around people at the beach, or if the beach is too crowded, I won't go out at all, but it just seems like an indoor spread is way easier.
  4. If they wanted it out there, it would be out there. Speculating over this seem tabloid-ish.
  5. It has been interesting to watch the outbreaks be worst in the parts of the country that are indoors the most. The South in in their indoors season in the summer, while the north saw it more when it was cold outside. It might just be conincidence, but will be interesting to see if it repeats as we get to fall and winter.
  6. That's got its own cult following for sure. People either love it or hate it. There isn't much in between.
  7. It feels weird to be putting so much effort into figuring out who this is when they clearly don't want it out there.
  8. It's always been a tourist destination all of the way back to the 19th century. Bonus points, but when the SS Eastland rolled over in the Chicago River, the company excursion was a huge annual picnic in Michigan City. Now it has gotten MUCH crazier in the last 15-20 years with the additions of the Outlet mall in the late 80's and then the Casino and other tourism based items in City.
  9. entered for two years straight and didn't won, and then I won twice, and the wife one once in a six month span last year.
  10. It is probably bs, but worth a share.
  11. This might be plausible if you were to ignore how much QE the fed undertook after this.
  12. And I know they will start adding players soon as things like health start to get figured out. But it is also worth pointing out that the Sox use a lot of players in a normal season, and there are real possibilities of outbreaks costing the team LOTS of players at the same time.
  13. With the way the 60 man squad is going to operate, you want to make sure you leave yourself some room to add and subtract players. If you fill it up with lots of prospects who aren't going to be in the majors this year, it doesn't leave you any room to add guys who might not be on the 40 man roster or otherwise to the roster if injuries or COVID problems tear through a roster. If you put a prospect on the 60, you can't just remove them. You have to actually make a valid roster move to remove them, which exposes them to the rest of baseball.
  14. If your argument is that the federal government made some stupid mistakes in an effort to run cash into the economy to prevent its collapse, I don't think anyone would argue any different. Of all of the things I am pissed of at this federal government for, this is somewhere around page 672 of my list. If there was ever a time for QE, this is it. It could have been done better for sure, but getting cash into the economy quickly was the key here. The real problem was the fact that the fed had kept interest rates artificially low during the "GREATEST ECONOMY EVER" and had done nothing to empty their books of the previous QEs, nor had they done anything to return the economy to a state where the private sector was primarily responsible for growth instead of using bodies of the federal government to prop it up artificially. The fact that we were still running trillion dollar deficits on top of everything else is almost criminal. Now when we actually NEED to be running huge deficits and need real Fed intervention, the tools are limited and muted due to the waste of the last decade. This is the time to be propping up the economy. Honestly, we should be running much higher unemployment and government payment programs so we can minimize COVID exposures by having as many people as possible stay home. Now we have to tell people to go back to work and die because the federal government is impotent to protects its people financially AND medically. People have to choose one or the other.
  15. I hate to say "good" but COVID has typicially shown with a dry cough, and not a snotty one.
