Sorry to hear about that. I haven’t been on the board much lately, did he have existing health issues?
Just found out a family that was at our house Saturday was directly in contact with another friend the night before. He shipped off for deployment and tested positive.

So many people didn't like my post from weeks back about going all SEC and play as many games as possible in a reasonable time frame. Guess what may happen.

Can get in a 10 game season plus the SECCG by Thanksgiving weekend. Will allow for one bye week and an extra week to prepare for the SECCG. An alternative would be to play a 9 game season, one bye, followed by a semi with #1 in each division playing the cross division #2. Skip a week and have the SECCG. The alternative would probably make more money since it would have direct championship implications. Don't have to change ESD in December.

Bama wins they get to claim their 100th NC.

Play a 10 game schedule. Start on 9/5 as planned. Have the season run to 12/12 and play the Championship game on 12/19. That gives 15 saturdays to get in 10 games. Allows for games early in season to be moved latter to open dates if either team reaches a level of positive tests that would require to the game to be moved. Just a thought

The fever is what I noticed. The day after fever started upper back/shoulder soreness/achiness and loss of appetite. Fever hovered between 99 & 100 degrees for 48 hours, it's all pretty well gone now. My battle lost his taste and smell while awaiting results, I have not yet. I actually don't/didn't feel all that bad, but I've got a wicked immune system. I've treated it with multivitamins and BRCC in the morning, and whiskey in the evening.

I also take BBC in the morning

I think we underestimate ancient humans and civilizations. They had a looong time to build them and spared no human resource expense.

On the flipside of "it was aliens," I don't see why a civilzation that has infinitely better technology (and likely arriving in the form of robots) would build a few pyramids out of measly rocks and sphinxes that are crumbling. Seem pretty pointless and fragile...and why build with specifications for a few humans to be buried, along with treasure? Doesn't add up.

And there are no pyramids on Mars (that we know of) unless you count that fuzzy little triangular thing the size of a large rock the rover saw.

But they are pretty BA and just placing a pyramid anywhere gets the" so and so is illuminati" teen youtuber cult all riled up 🤣

I would be good with it, but with Covid positives and the normal attrition from SEC matchups, most teams might not have enough players by week 10.

IF we HAVE to have a season, and I fully understand economic reasons why, may not agree...but, IF we have to have a season. Abbreviate it. Distance the crowd. Roll to '21.

Let's get this damn innoculation squared away & get people better. Better yet, let's give the Rock something better to do than make PSA's.

Welp let's dive into the ages old, how the hell did they build them things and why are there pyramids on Mars and sphinx's, and on the dollar bill, and underground, and under water, and most likely on other planets and the moons. Why are they so precisely aligned with constellations and all the other precise geometric's.

Ahhhh... but which numbers? Are all the numbers even being counted the same way? ...the same way as two months ago? This is where the ethics of journalism, science, the economy, and politics hits the fan.

We know some states like Texas have officially changed the way patients are counted. If you finally go in to get that elective surgery you've been putting off, you will be tested before admittance. If you are asymptomatic but test positive that you have or have had the coronavirus... you get counted as a COVID-19 hospitalization. You aren't sick, you aren't contagious, you aren't in the hospital for any coronavirus-related reason --- but in some states, some systems, you are now an official number.

Who else is counting that way? Is Tennessee? Is Hamilton County? Is the Erlanger Hospital system? How do we know?

Consider how ambiguous the opening sentence from a local news provider is: "The number of coronavirus patients in Chattanooga hospitals has risen to the highest level yet - 71. That includes 37 from Hamilton County."

Citing "the number of coronavirus patients in 'nooga hospitals" is not necessarily the same as the number of patients admitted to 'nooga hospitals because of coronavirus, or admitted with coronavirus symptoms, or even as capable of transmitting the coronavirus. Technical differences for sure, but differences which would paint radically different pictures of where we are and what we should be doing.

Based on the numbers, is Chattanooga a COVID hotspot?

That "number of coronovirus patients in 'nooga hospitals" sounds like yes. But then it says 37 are from Hamilton County. Does that mean the other 34 are from inside Chattanooga city limits? Or are they from outlying counties? Chattanooga hospitals serve counties from Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. Are those 34 patients "with" coronavirus from different states? If so, are they showing up as numbers in both states simultaneously?
-----

As I said, this is where the ethics of journalism, science, the economy, and politics hits the fan. Facts can be compiled and communicated without the taint of agendas--but truth has to be your only agenda. It can be left for we citizens to interpret and decide.

Whatever we individually believe, and whether your top concern is having a college football season (no insignificant matter for the economy, as well as the fabric of our society), opening the grade schools, or protecting your own life if you have predisposing conditions... we are going to have to demand clear answers to questions if we are going to maintain our liberty to make our own life decisions. And have a football season.

If we do get to play a conference only season and they make it 10 games, I really hope we pull Ole Miss and Texas A&M

Are they the next West opponents in rotation. I know we have played Ms St and Burn recently. I think LSU was the year before Barn and it was a home game that stormed.

I want payback from 2016 on A&M. I also want to see Pruitt D throw up a shutout against Kiffin.

Europe also has dropping covid numbers.

Honest Q. Is it because It spread quickly through the population? Why in America did we insulate ourselves and then it spread anyway? If true, why did it not spread a second time there once out of lockdown? Did we delay the inevitable? Or are we just better at testing. I think America is completely different than anywhere else on planet earth for a myriad of reasons. I have no idea. I feel like we fooled ourselves thinking we could contain the spread.

Covid doesn’t even a fraction of the positive cases that Swine Flu did (obviously that wasn’t as deadly). It must have just spread like wildfire and fizzled out.
