No Ratliff, no National Championship in '98. Destiny?

These were first released by TTSA back in 2017-18. They were already acknowledged by the Navy, but they have now "officially" declassified them. Various explanations have been given, but none of them settled the matter.

98 Arkansas was the loudest for me as well. My girlfriend (now wife) and I were under the overhang way up in the northern nosebleeds. I was yelling, but I couldn't actually hear myself. It was insane. Good on you. Sometimes we have to police our own.

Statistically speaking, you don't have to test millions of people. Random sampling tests are done all the time in all kinds of fields. If the test is accurate and highly specific, and the methodology is sound, there's no reason you can't get an accurate gauge of what's going on in the...

He's a part-time waffle iron calibrator. She's a freelance button enthusiast. Together their budget is 4.8 million dollars.

I can tell you one thing. There are going to be so many papers written about this period of time for years to come in every discipline imaginable. How politicized they are and in which direction will be left to the reader and their own biases.

The last I read on that topic, it was unclear. But the cases that seemed to disappear and came back were extremely rare. It was unclear if it was just some kind of testing error or something worse. There are other worries about long-term damage to all sorts of body functions. Kidneys, brain...

We also spend ton of money on research into those things. Regulations exist for them. Mandatory safety regulations on cars. Mandatory seat belt laws. Air bags, crash avoidance systems, driver education courses, drivers license tests. Alcohol awareness programs. Treatment programs...

At the end of the day, no one is changing anyone's opinion here. I just hope we all remember to be understanding of everyone's worries and situations.

That's a tough read. Italy and New York have been hit really hard. Making decisions about who they can even give care has to be excruciating for a doctor. "I’ve never felt less useful as a doctor."

I've read similar problems with antibody tests from other sources. This is discouraging. Hopefully, it will turn around. The re-positives are frustrating as well. Again, I hope it's just a testing problem. Or it could be screwey immune systems. Either way, the hope is that it's very small...

I'm not sure which numbers we're talking about or which models (there are lots of both), but I think we'd all like to see how many already have antibodies. And we'd all like those people to be protected against reinfection.

I know there is some number that stay asymptomatic. I just wish articles would follow up so we had a better idea where that number might sit. Last I checked it took 2 to 11.5 days for that vast majority to exhibit symptoms after exposure. Few cases were outside that range. The median was...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I just want to see verified numbers. I think we'll have it within our ability to start seeing those numbers when we start getting accurate antibody tests. When that happens, we won't have to speculate anymore, which is a win for everyone.
