Who needs a stimulus check when you get @VolsDoc81TX throwing them likes to posts from a month ago? Hey Doc, this is volatil posting from the future. We have flying cars now.

Lol...It is hilarious..I will log on and have 20 notifications, and half of them are likes from Doc on two week old posts..

I told you a while back...I do have some lib feelings about things.

That’s called compassion

Where we are going...we don't need roads..

Chuck Liddell? That you?

Haha, my coworkers and my kids f'd with me non-stop yesterday. I'm contemplating wearing the mask everywhere and speaking in the Bain voice...."Do you feel in charge?"

Gets me excited. I strut around like Connor MacGregor all day being like "a Dr. agrees with me.... what did you accomplish today?"

That was the game where I seriously contemplated my Vols fandom. Once OU made it 17-10 there was just such a strong feeling of inevitability. I just knew we were going to go ultra conservative and Mayfield would start making big plays. Didn't help that Butch looked like he was about to be led towards the electric chair throughout the entire second half.

For me it was the Florida game where I contemplated just giving up and not watching football anymore. Butch had the pucker factor for two. I couldn't believe it when we went up 26-14 that he kicked an extra point instead of going for 2. Everyone around me was saying "We'll find a way to lose 28-27" and I'll be damned if it didn't happen. I just collapsed in my seat when Grier connected on 4th down for a TD to take the lead.

The joys of being compassionate with other people's money -- it's like charity but without having to actually do anything.

What are you talking about

 

[gainesvol82]

I have it on good authority that at least one hospital is inflating the COVID deaths just to get FEMA cash (which feeds the media). Hospitals in areas with mild numbers are losing money right now because of no elective surgeries so the money has to be made up somewhere.

This thing is serious in specific places, but it’s time to start some normalcy back to parts of the country like ours. We’re furloughing medical professionals. Hardly a crisis here.

They are talking about opening the beaches back up here in Jax and St Augustine.

That's a good sign, I just hope idiots to get them closed down again.

How was this PI?

Because Tennessee was on defense.

I saw that but it's with constant movement. Cant sit on the beach and gather. It's a great sign of the up and up

What's crazy is we still had a shot to win, and it wasn't an impossible kick.

I have really been wanting one of those. Do they really work that well?

I had a procedure for a ruptured disc in '82. Still have pain at times, so I'm going to get one.

Here's one of the blowhards I was referencing.

This is hurtful jerk face

Joe uses a mil to wipe off after frequenting porn sites.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Classy

 

[volatil]

Darren Rovell quick with what porn sites are offering

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

we overreacted

 

[gainesvol82]

Joe Buck already has a name for porn. I say do it.

 

[MrVolton]

we overreacted

I keep going back and forth: one day thinking we’ve overreacted, the next day thinking I’m not scared enough.

That said, the flip side to all that you posted is that for every death confirmed from COVID-19, there may be a similar percentage of COVID-19 deaths not attributed to it. I know of a small rural community that I’m pretty convinced had at least 3 deaths in February that sounded an awful lot like COVID-19.

So this is when I was a student at Tennessee.
I was tutoring this absolutely gorgeous young lady in Chemistry. She broke up with him to start dating me.

About 3 weeks later, I found out that Darren Miller was looking to kill the guy that stole his girlfriend. Guess who? Yup it was me. Not sure how he didn’t find me...

Was gonna say that this wasn't very VFL of you but then I realized he was a LB and LBs play better when pissed off so good job, Doc!

Oh what he could’ve done with a Michigan education.

With most statistics, the Devil is in the details. They have tested 3300 people and are claiming that 2.5% to 4.2% were positive, anywhere from 83 to 139. They are then extrapolating that to the entire county and comparing that to confirmed cases. While I'll call that very encouraging, that is a long way from compelling evidence.

A few questions come mind:
Why the range of positive, were they positive or not?
What is the sensitivity and specificity of the test?
How random was the sample? Was there any methodology to selecting those tested?
Assuming the test is accurate, how do results from Santa Clara county apply to the rest of the country?

The mortality of the 1918 flu varied greatly by region, probably due to nutritional differences...0.7% Texas vs 3.14% Connecticut. Sunshine, perhaps? This test was done in LA, which is pretty far south and quite sunny. The results there may not translate well to other areas.

That does give some insight into relative risk by region though. It might turn out that some areas aren't at as great a risk of crisis, and this could make it easier to tailor the restart/future mitigation by regional risk. I'd be very much for that.
