The real number of infected is likely in the tens of millions right now. However, we don't know this for sure because we can't run enough tests to even fully test symptomatic people let alone asymptomatic people. If we had accurate information about the severity of this virus, it would be a lot less scary, and the alarmist, economy-destroying actions taken by governors would look ridiculous.
Instead we're going to cut off our foot just in case we have toe cancer.
The death rate for SARS was originally estimated at 1.3% during the crisis. After the crisis, we found out the real death rate was only 0.02%. We will see the same walk-back in death rates after this virus has run its course as well. The only real question is whether all the people forced into poverty by our idiot governor will ever recover.
I don't believe it because it's so dumb. If the lockdown lifts in July, players will have more than enough time to prepare before the start of the season.
I highly doubt the lockdown will last into July because people will start defying the order long before that.
Exactly. The same way the Flu isn't anywhere near over and the common cold isn't anywhere near over. There's no containing or eradicating this virus. Destroying our economy in effort to do so is a fool's errand.
Which government? I ask because they’re all taking this seriously at this point.
Most of them. California, Ohio, Italy, France, Spain, South Korea, and a dozen others. They're all taking measures that will destroy the economy and do way more damage than the virus itself.
The only thing ravaging nations is their government's insane overreaction to the virus. This virus has been active since november and has only killed 100 people in the US. To put that number into context, over 200,000 people die each month normally in the US. This virus has resulted in a 0.05% uptick in deaths. It's not even close to being statistically significant.
Not surprising. Given the number of celebrities that have been confirmed positive for it and the known transmissibility of the virus, I'd take a wild guess and say that the true number of infected people in the US right now is around 10 million.
When this is all said and done the death rate from this virus will be less than 1%, and the government response to it will look like an enormous overreaction. Just like the Flu or the common cold, there's no containing this thing anymore. It has spread nationwide. Continuing to enforce lockdowns is just shooting ourselves in the foot.
You're so fucking brainwashed and dumb if you believe this.
The US has fewer deaths than Italy, Spain, France, and South Korea. All countries much smaller than the US. Our response has been fine thus far. Excessive if anything.
I love how you somehow managed to completely ignore the fact that dozens of Democratic governors also didn't do anything. The country is in crisis and all you can say is "orange man bad, vote Democratic." Get fucked, asshole.
Yep, the government reaction has been increasingly irresponsible. By shutting down restaurants and putting all their employees out of work, local governments are doing far more damage than the virus would have.
This lockdown needs to end within a month or we will never recover from the economic damage it causes.
Embarrassingly stupid.This will put tens of thousands of people out of work. Mostly people who live paycheck to paycheck.
The fact of the matter is there is no stopping this virus. It's more transmissible than the flu which comes back every year in twenty different forms. If we can't eradicate the Flu, we have no chance of eradicating the China virus. We need to just let this virus run its course. Destroying the country economically so that old people can continue to sit in their recliners for a few more years is not sane.
If they can't protect themselves, they should probably avoid contact with me. Because I'm not going to degrade my quality of life to cater to their needs.
I want to watch the same Franz you're watching. The guy I've seen is primarily a three point shooter and even then he only hits them at a 32% clip. There's no way he goes to the NBA this year.
DMac was ranked higher in recruiting that pretty much everybody in this list. He's only lower on this list because the other guys played last season and he didn't.
So the university is hiring a high-powered law firm to investigate the alleged crimes of somebody who has been dead for 12 years and unaffiliated with the university for 17 years?
What a waste of money. Might as well launch an investigation into Ghengis Khan while we're at it.
Edsall is mostly right, though. Save for the few players who grad transfer when they have no shot at playing time, most of these guys are just whiny entitled losers. Tell me Justin Fields, Shea Patterson, and Aubrey Solomon are not "enabled and entitled." Transfers are often the biggest brats in the country.

Yeah, just like we were told all the others were as they were happening.
If you think your risk of dying from this virus is too high for you to tolerate, DO NOT GO OUTSIDE.
Telling everybody else they can't live their lives because you refuse to stop interacting with them is just you being a piece of shit.
Those tattoos on the girl in the headline photo are hideous, too. I can't believe she's been stripping to pay for those.
You're a piece of shit.

Criticism on my anonymous internet forum? How heinous.
Small businesses don't pay OSU to tweet about them.
The government ordering businesses to shut down is the polar opposite of capitalism.

There's no L here. He's right. Sorry your reading comprehension sucks.
Bitch move from two countries who weren't willing to fight for their independence.
Why would that be sarcastic? Do you not know what sarcasm is?
It's literally government orders that are shutting everything down. Most businesses would still be open if not for the government.

STOP. Stop putting millions of people out of work to contain a virus that is beyond the possibility of containment.

3 officials + (3 coaches + 15 players) * 2 + 2 commentators + 1 guy to run the clock + 3 cameramen = 45 people.

God, I hope it's Hannah Ann. Mostly for selfish reasons
DRob scored 23 points on 12 shots. 7/11 from three. Incredible efficiency
"I will not do my job unless the University violates the rights of its employees"
This attorney general seems really dumb. The University shouldn't comply with this.

Khaleke had a great combine. I hope he does well in the NFL. He played like a warrior for us. Left it all on the field.
Lavert Hill putting up 21 reps on bench is surprising. I wonder why he didn't run the 40.
If we lose out, I think we'll get dropped. A win in any remaining game though should get us dancing.
4 more reps than known steroid user, Joe Bachie.
That seems mediocre for a TE.
It's a pre-season prediction from a no-name sportswriter. The odds that it's accurate are about one in 87 billion.

Okay, now this is getting serious. I don't understand why the police aren't doing anything. This guy needs to be exhumed and hauled off to prison.
That's the most effeminate statement I've read from a professional athlete in a long time. He should go on the Bachelor
