  1. Not nearly as what Prizter was calling out the feds on last night which you seem to think he was out of line doing. Plus with as many people working from home as there is now, chances are you won’t have the huge rushes at certain time periods you do as normal primaries, plus it’s a primary, a ton of voters sit those out.
  2. I already voted. There won’t be nearly as many people in any polling place on Tuesday as there were trying to get home at the international terminal at OHare yesterday. The federal government didn’t respond until after midnight.
  3. It is necessary to call out the federal government for all of their failingsbecause they provide a different message everyday a d theouteight lies can and will cost livez.
  4. People should read up about the Spanih Flu pandemic in 1918 and how Philadelphia decided to go through with a parade, and the consequences of that decision. Probably a lot of hungover people today are going to regret what the did yesterday a week or two from now
  5. You do know immigration at the airports is not a state thing don't you? Federal jurisdiction.
  6. The other problem is waiting in a long line isn’t the healthiest place to be either.
  7. Welp, the youngins are listening to Richie. Old Town Chicago bars already packed celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
  8. Our company is doing half in half wfh next week to test the system. I am supposed to wfh Thursday and Friday. I would bet with the news constantly changing if they have no issues on Monday and or Tuesday, my extended wfh will start a few days sooner.
  9. Some perspective, on Thursday the US had as many confirmed cases as Italy had last Sunday. The US population is 5 times that of Italy. Will it go up 5 times the amount it did there? Hope not, but probably. Still only 11k had been tested in the US. The gutting of the CDC turned out not to be a very bright move. The lack of tests is appalling. The travel ban means nothing. It’s for show anyway. If the President has a golf course in your country, that country is exempt. The cat is out of the bag.
  10. There are 15 teams in each league. There has to be inter league games.
  11. My niece attends Michigan State. They just went on line only until April 20th.
  12. They are not going to have fans at NCAA tournament games. This will be interesting to watch.
  13. It's the Cruise special. Buy 1 week, get 2 free. Use code corona.
  14. Sports is all about revenue from TV. They would much prefer to play games in empty stadiums than to probably not be able to re-schedule many of them.
  15. I just read where the spread rate on this, the number of people an infected person passes it on to is between 2 and 2.5. With the flu it is 1.3, so close to double, and no vaccine. I work right above Union Station. I usually like to walk around down there or at least through the Great Hall to get lunch. There is no way I am going down there until this thing passes.
  16. You must want to look for things to worry about. Taking anything from these games, at least for veterans, is nuts. Probably the last 5 or 6 years of Edgar Martinez career, they said he couldn’t catch up to fastballs in spring training. Look him up.
  17. It’s March 8th. The games don’t count. Robert got blown away with 3 straight fastballs by the same pitcher. Better start worrying. To take anything away from veterans performances in spring training is crazy. He isn’t some young guy trying to make the team. He wants to be ready when the bell rings, not when the spring training games start. People fall for spring training stats every year.
  18. The good news is if EE is done based on spring training March 8 stats, Adam Engel is headed for the HOF.
  19. But you will probably pass it on, and eventually it will kill someone, because it keeps going.
  20. It’s the downplaying it like even if you catch it, you’ll be fine. Not all people who think they have no issues, actually have no issues.It is unfortunate politics is playing the biggest role with this. A self proclaimed germaphobe is downplaying this about as much as you can and not for the benefit of the people of this country. Even if it doesn’t kill you, there is a good chance if you get it you will pass it on to someone. It may kill them or someone they pass it on to. I also hope everyone has some good insurance, because you are going to get gouged if you don’t.
  21. I wish they would re open the buster. i do find it sad that many people are being led to believe that the only people this will really do anything to are the elderly and people with compromised systems. Yeah so what if it kills your grandparents. And the number of people who are walking around with compromised systems is a lot higher than the people who know they have compromised systems. Lies and spin don’t work now. It is time all people demand the truth.
  22. Any candidate willing to keep Boylen on should mean disqualification. Can anyone really think anyone outside of GarPax and the Reinsdorfs,think anyone capable of being an NBA GM, let alone a good one, thinks Jim Boylen is the guy to lead them to championships?
