Since our government failed to provide adequate testing levels, and wasted months of potential research into the virus and a vaccine, the only options are ones that involved people dying. We COULD have done other things, but the President was too busy pretending this wasn't happening to keep his portfolio going up.

It was obvious that the curve would accelerate again if actions were taken based on being emotional rather than scientific.

Oof, yeah that wouldn't have worked.

Well probably not, but the players also don't have the ability to cancel the season if they don't get their way in the same way the owners do.

So who would have gone?

1 on 1? Probably not. The question would be how much help defense they would need, and where they could send help from. As Shaq obviously could handle the triangle offense and its spacing and passing, he would also be perfectly fine with finding the open shooter if they doubled him. Again you just saw a clip of a much taller and bigger David Robinson who was a Defensive Player of the Year, and a 8 time member of the all-NBA defensive team in the era when defense and strength ruled, just get abused by Shaq.

For the record, Indiana has 1000 unexplained deaths in excess of normal, even after deaths being accounted for by Covid, so the problem here is much bigger than is being explained to us. We are counting only 1482 deaths so far, so up to 40% of Covid deaths in this state could be unreported. #2. The thing that is most convincing for me in the data is that in states that haven't seen outbreaks you are actually seeing falling death rates. So the idea that massive amounts of suicides, heart attacks, and other lockdown related stress killings are happening isn't there in the data either. All states have been locked down, so if there is a spike going on, no one's death rates would be falling, in fact all states should be experiencing similar spikes if this wasn't Covid related.

Juniors lose all leverage though. When they are seniors they can't go back to school. At least the HS kids have college options. You might get some juniors for 20k, you aren't getting ANY HS kids for that.

For those that didn't look closely, that was David Robinson that got destroyed in that clip.

[Shrugs]

If you want HS players in this draft you have 5 chances to get one. That's it.

I like the idea of a hs player. Keep filling in players to arrive years down the road from this wave.

As if I needed a reason to not follow Barstool.

They are estimating less than 3% of Indiana has been infected. https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/11-times-more-hoosiers-infected-with-covid-19-than-testing-suggests-study-finds/article_6f3c7b81-be45-5b6a-92c8-01cd2460eae6.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_The_Times_of_Northwest_Indiana

Except we are studying deaths, so...

This is 100% true. The problem is from day one leaders have been feeding the its just the flu narrative, allowing people to pick a point of view instead of the facts.

I mean if you are dying of cancer, and your ambulance gets crushed by a semi on the way to the hospital they don't say you died of cancer, they said you died from an accident. Why should covid be different?

Its funny. We have spent years hearing about entitled millennials and how they expect everything to be given to them. Yet here we are with Boomers having meltdowns about haircuts being more important than peoples' lives. Gee where do you think the entitled millennials learned it from?

Not at the rate we are seeing.

You do realize that if there was massive Medicade fraud going on, the federal government would be looking to sue the shit out of the hospitals and claw back that money.

Like I said, step one is to obscure statistical reporting. And right on cue, here is the White House leading the way.

Except all indications are that even with this style we are using now, we have a large spike in unexplained deaths during this time period.

This is all true. It is the "greg" show. It's all a trolling act.

We can't even get Americans to agree that this is a pandemic, and that isn't OK to have unnecessary people die because of it.

Sounds like they figured out a backdoor way to pay him for being a lobbyist on their behalf.
