I did mine for the first time. My flat top turned into a buzz cut. It will grown back.

It can be pushed back by up to 6 months for each of the next two years, as of now. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlbs-2020-draft-changes-will-have-long-term-ramifications-most-of-them-will-be-bad-for-baseball/

If July 2 even happens.

Sweden has on one the highest fatality rates in the world from Covid per capita. Their death rate is even higher than the United States.

Another article on how extreme the undercounting on Covid may well be. https://www.ft.com/content/6bd88b7d-3386-4543-b2e9-0d5c6fac846c?utm_campaign=527dbb4637-briefing-dy-20200428&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-527dbb4637-45007253

Waiting for him to open up the White House to the public.

Holy F@#%. I can't understand how anyone could think this is a bad thing. That's astonishingly horrible.

Congress isn't going to be back to work, because it isn't safe. You can't make this stuff up. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/reversing-course-house-won-t-return-d-c-next-week-n1194316?fbclid=IwAR1JwTvQiza63_2J7vq5RvyoGEyL-r5AF3G1oBb6jrMneZHluiVbk8zY0vI

So if Pence had COVID, there was a 70% transmission chance between him and the people who were masked.

It also ignores the fact that these types of situations have been life for a long time for a lot of people in poverty. Now that it is happening to other people, the middle class is taking notice.

We went through this when packaging companies were taken to task in The Jungle. They swore regulation and common sense would put the price of food out of range of the common person, and it would put farmers out of business. That never happened. It is also worth noting that if the President's economic plans hadn't have largely destroyed farming in this country over the past couple of years, the industry wouldn't be in such dire straights already. To spin this back around, how much death from the food supply are you willing to tolerate, especially with the consequences for those poisonings being largely removed.

So if you die because your employer forces you back to work, too bad.

And baseball is going to be worse because at least football had a season to go off of, baseball isn't going to have that.

The more things open up, the more the curve will accelerate again. It is a mathematical certainty. We know that only a small percentage of people have any antibodies, and that is even if a secondary infection isn't possible anyway. We know lots of actively infected people are still out there, because cases are still going up by 30,000 a day, and the infection window seems to be at least 14-21 days. We know this is highly infectious by the level of outbreaks that are happening in places like jails and nursing homes where distancing is impossible. Put more people into situations mimicking the crowding of jails and and watch the outbreaks happen. Hopefully MLB figures out a way to do this isolated from people so that they don't pick up outbreaks from other places, but this seems pretty impossible to me.

Yesterday we hit 1 million cases in the US, and 3 million world wide.

This draft is going to be all about how much you trust your scouts at its core. Think about how little cross-checking is going to happen. A guy like Kenny Williams isn't going to be on the road to check out the final few selections. It will also be interesting to see how much the willingness to negotiate down from slot weighs in this draft for individual players as in a shortened draft, one player holds a lot more weight than the would in a normal draft.

How many people are acceptable for you to kill in the pursuit of economy? Where do you draw the line?

Ugh. The whole all deaths are Covid thing is garbage. Again, if you look at the numbers there is a clear statistical analysis that points to underreporting. I am going to trust that, especially when the argument doesn't make sense. The county I live in has recorded exactly 5 covid deaths in a month and a half. The state has 900 deaths. Do you really think a state with 6 million people has only had 900 people die in 2 months time? A county with 100,000 people has had way more than 5 deaths in 6 weeks. The Post analysis actually dug into the numbers into how and why.

The China numbers are obviously trash, and that should have been obvious from day one. They shutdown a City bigger than NYC. The question is why the President trusted them.

I'm not going to lie, I never watch the NFL draft, except for bits and pieces around when the Bears early picks are. I watched a ton just to have something different to watch.

And a Wirtz got put into the job. I wonder if this is the start of the selloff or a last gasp run?

If that were true, the % of tests that are positive should be dropping, but they aren't. We also lag a good chunk of first world countries in terms of testing saturation. There was also the WaPo article today that seems to clearly show that deaths from covid are also much higher than what is being reported.

Seems like they are making the right moves. Hopefully this will awake this sleeping giant of a franchise.

It will be interesting to see the stats diverge now between more and less strict states.

Some sobering numbers, on how much we are probably undercounting deaths. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true&fbclid=IwAR1WMfe5T6TFAb_7tXt4qeR9MCCeHFew2S3Kp85eD7tTQQvEytIgerVhbso
