Pittsburgh just turned them down. They may not have any home games.

Thank you. I'm in the best shape I've been in since my 20s. I'm asymptomatic and will probably stay that way for many years. Overall the diagnosis has been a positive.

Before we get started at some point a team will be declared the champion of the 2020 season. Will there be an asterisk? Do you think it will ever be considered a legit win? Will it matter what team wins? It seems like if a long shot wins there will always be a but when describing the win.

Did both. I may be hooked on The Athletic in a year

Obscure as a judge. I'm at Brandeis which is comfortable politically. Not that namesakes have much influence.

We were about 80 miles from him the nearest charge to us was 50 miles past us. But it's just a matter of time before those situations are eliminated.

My district uses Supreme Court Justices. Some household names like Marshall or O'Connor. Some more obscure like Harlan or Taft

So nine months from now we have a vaccine that a portion of the population isn't rushing to get. What will diagnosis and treatment look like?

Stimulating the economy.

The have a Churchill so Texan isn't even necessary. But I agree, Murphy would be great.

Ours is so mild we can't get a quorum at our annual meeting. Mow your yard once a month, put away your trash bins, and you are fine.

I don't think I'm any more optimistic or pessimistic on a vaccine than I am on treatments. Six months ago we were almost no where with treatments. We are better today, and will continue to get better. (I believe) Today we don't have a vaccine. When one is developed we will be better off that day, and it will continue to get better. It's not one over the other, we're just further down the road with one path.

I'm skeptical of both. I'm more skeptical of a vaccine working based on the promise of a HIV vaccine (and others) in the 1980s. I've seen more new drugs come on the market to treat diseases than vaccines to prevent them. Perhaps it's ignorance but treatments seem to be easier to develop than vaccines.

I've been with T-Mo for about 15 years. My only gripe, and it's a big one, is their coverage map is a lie. If they claim to have signal, but you can't get one, you can't roam. So multiple times this summer in Colorado there were nice AT&T and Verizon signals but no T-Mo and no roaming because it was light pink on their map. I run into the same issues in Texas hill country and up in Maine. But, they have been great to me for most of these years so I stay loyal. Three times they have lowered my bill without me asking while keeping or improving my service. Setting a reminder to get free MLB!

I'm not rushing to be treated either. ? My question was genuine. If we are banking on the vaccine fixing everything then everyone is going to have to line up and take the vaccine. I'm wondering how quickly that will really happen. I'm probably going to trust my doctors at MD Anderson and if they say go for it, I'll go for it. I've basically had to put my lifespan in their hands already. But what about the average worker drone? Confused? I have cancer (Leukemia) after being on a drug that was recently pulled from the market for an increase in cancers. Using known drugs in new ways seems less risky than a vaccine, but that could just be my ignorance. New drugs, new vaccines, new anything has me skeptical.

So how fast is everybody going to get in line for a rushed to market vaccine? I'm not an anti vaxx person, but as someone who took a drug that was later pulled from the market for causing an increased in cancer rates, it's not as clear cut as it may appear. But, of course there only humanitarian reasons for working so hard on finding a vaccine. Not profit or politics.

In a year that nothing seems to meet standards, I wonder if in the end MLB is going to stick to their policy or make a one season exception.

The treatments have become more efficient freeing up hospital beds quicker. I'm not suggesting it's not dangerous or deadly. I'm saying we will make improvements even if a vaccine never comes on line. We treat every disease better today than we have in the past. Better procedures and better protocols. A vaccine isn't our only path to a better tomorrow.

I believe that we are getting better at treatment and by the time a vaccine is available (actually if a vaccine is available) we'll be in better shape than we are now. Of course it will be necessary, just like a HIV vaccine is necessary. But if for some reason a vaccine is elusive for this virus I believe we will reach a point with better treatment that the virus will not be crippling us like it is now. Or this way, I believe we will be in better shape months down the road and in even better shape a year from now, with or without a vaccine. I'm not sure why I'm confusing people. At worst it's optimism about treatment and infrastructure and pessimistic about a vaccine.

So again, my prediction is by the time we have a vaccine our health care infrastructure will be able to handle the number of infections. Here in SA we're already handling about 1,000 per day and more resources are coming up to speed. I'm not talking about herd immunity, someone else put those words in my mouth. The argument against my position is we will have more infections than we can handle when a vaccine is commercially available. In your example next spring or summer we will be in worse shape than today. That would mean a loss in infrastructure capacity or a large increase in the rate of infection. It seems like we are getting better at treating the disease which is decreasing the rate and length of hospitalizations.

What I predicted is a stabilization of the infection rate that is at or below health care capacity before a vaccine is commercially available.

The team is also looking at sharing a major league field. Baltimore and Pittsburgh have been mentioned. It's been done before. Didn't the Cubs play in Milwaukee one summer?

Perhaps both. We're handling 1,000 infections per day here in Bexar county (San Antonio). In 18 months that's about 500,000 more patients. Will we have a vaccine that quickly? I'm not certain what is pessimistic and what is optimistic. 3 months? 12 months? 24 months?

A little irony. I am scheduling a doctor's appointment and because I traveled out of a very high infection rate area to a very low infection rate area and now back to a very high rate I have to wait 14 days before being seen.

In general has there ever been a manager in any sport that did as well or better during their second stay?
