Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Pepe_Silvia]

I love baseball but have always felt a 162 game season is way too long. Half of the teams are out of the playoff race by the the Fourth of July.

A 0-game season for baseball would be the sweet spot.

What's your roll with the restaurant group?

Director of operations. I oversee 8 locations.

LOL

If coronavirus were a person...

A single Home Run Derby and done... and I'd probably not watch.

I heard the chicken was “asking for it” through provocative movements.

That guy over-predicted the number, and from that you conclude that all of the other models are also wrong?

I’m saying as we get more data, more people are walking this back.

I think the quarantine is a good idea, but I also think this is being extremely overstated in the media. Look at the real numbers, in context, and compared against total population with the assumption it has been here longer and infected more than we could possibly know.

Wrong. You and anybody else presenting numbers are extrapolating out based on model predictions.

Reality based on latest numbers has dramatically changed predictions as we find out more:

I appreciate the effort but facts create cognitive dissonance for too many folks here.

LOL

So let's take the Kennedy Center money and the immigrant money and divide that up

The only exciting thing that happens in baseball is when a batter gets pegged by the pitcher and the benches clear.

Yep - the models helped shape the reaction in absence of data. No problem with that. As data pours in and models are adjusted we can rely more and more on reality than predicted reality.

Nothing beats a hot dog and a beer on a warm summer night watching a baseball game - MLB or minor leagues.

It’s astounding. Either they refuse to look at facts, can’t understand them, or ignore them based on an agenda.

It's just too slow-paced for me.

Some coronavirus homeschool math 100k/330,000,000 equals 0.03% or 99.97% chance of not having the virus and great news even if you are one of the 1/10000 that might get it you have a 99% survival rate.

There is clearly an agenda for at least a few posters in this forum. Especially with it being an election year.

And those numbers will change, but not by much.

Call your governors. Raise hell.

That’s hilarious.

Kinda funny to see the only principled members of the Congress chastised by the two sides of the establishment.

 

[allvol123]

Just called the mayor's office in knoxville.

The lackey on the other end wanted to argue that we hadn't shut society down.

Omg. This is who you let run your lives people!!!!!

Total coronavirus deaths in Tennessee=3
Suicides in Knox County last 24 hours=9

Coronavirus statistics and information is a good website to keep track of the numbers if you are so inclined.
