  2. Treat symptoms. They will probably try an antiviral - studies being done on which ones are effective. We're gonna monitor fever and SPO2 (blood oxygen). If you dip below 90% on SPO2 were gonna add supplemental oxygen. If that continues to tank pressure will be added, CPAP/BiPAP, if you continue to tank, we will intubate and put you on a ventilator, try to bring down the edema, and hope you don't develop ARDS.

  3. If you're in healthcare you'll love this - my wife read it to me this morning. "Hey JCAHO, if I'm wearing a scarf for PPE during a pandemic, I don't ever want to hear about my Diet Coke at the nurses station ever again"

  5. Listens to experts. Thinks ahead before he does things. Works to achieve a consensus with government, scientists and the private sector. Does not blurt out the first thing that comes to mind because he must have attention all the time. Personally those are traits I actually want in a leader.

  6. Well, technically it could be either as it is a sliding scale - the better the grades, the lower test score and vice versa. But he is definitely looking to get a better test score. And he apparently has now qualified to take the ACT with "accommodations".

  7. I would guess that there is a lot of nuance in comments that are reported that can make them very hard to decipher. Is he really the #1 guy on our entire board? #1 at that spot? #1 guy we are still working on (not-committed)? #1 guy for that particular coach? #1 guy for that particular coach that isn't committed? There are nearly endless permutations. In a more general sense, I would say "#1 guys" are some combination of guys who we think we have a realistic chance with who fits what we want to do and the personality we want who they believe has the skills and potential to be a quality started for us. So I would say no, no necessarily the best guy in the nation.

  8. Hydration and respiratory assistance. That's why the number of ventilators and respiratory therapists is concerning to the dr's and nurses. The reason we are short on masks and PPE is because everyone with a cough is coming into the ER looking for help. My wife is experiencing this at Methodist Womens. Then they are given the advice to go home and report back if it gets serious. Nothing happened except supplies used and attention from other emergencies taken away... @drfish can explain more. He had a pretty good summary a while back.

  13. I think they had a lot of contributing factors that led to a worst case scenario. The Chinese immigrants, old age, poor preparedness and supplies, significant budget cuts over the years that led to the poor preparation.

  14. This is 100% just my opinion based off what I watched this year: 1. He’s a ball stopper. As soon as he catches he’s putting the ball on the floor. 2. Extremely streaky. When he’s hot hes hot. When he’s not he checks out 3. Going along with #2- he’s a volume shooter. 40% on the year from the field just isn’t good enough. Barely shoots 30% from 3 with most of those being off the dribble. 4. Going with number 1- not a great passer. Averaging just over 1 assist per game as a ball handling guard in Hoiberg’s offense is awful 5. Think Hoiberg would rather replace him with a bigger longer wing/combo guard (6’6 type). He’s listed at 6’4 but probably closer to 6’3. Mediocre defender would be putting it kindly.

  18. If you're the presumptive nominee, you can and should be showing leadership qualities. They do not need to be political attacks or policy initiatives you can't launch, but simply reminders and reassurances and vetted information for the public because you're an influential insider who has better intel than the average American. I believe the question was "what would you say to Americans who are scared right now?" and Biden is perfectly qualified to have an answer,. Not providing one is a serious whiff. Especially since that personal heartstring moment is supposedly Joe's strong suit.

  20. Jon Vedral is Noah's uncle. Mike Vedral is Noah's dad, and played at NU from 1990-92. Mike Vedral married Matt Turman's sister, Sara, and Noah was born in 1998. Noah played at Wahoo Neuman for his grandfather, Tim Turman. The youngest Vedral, Mark, also played at NU. https://theathletic.com/940041/2019/04/23/nebraska-qb-noah-vedral-transfer-home-deep-family-ties/

  21. You have any evidence for that claim? The WHO is reporting 14% of cases were severe (emphasis mine): I linked an article somewhere earlier in this thread that I can't find now, but it had an analysis of cases that showed the mortality rate was 0.5-0.9% in places where the healthcare system wasn't overwhelmed, but a mortality rate of 3-5% where the healthcare system was overwhelmed. I suspect that different parts of the US will have different mortality rates depending on a variety of factors but percentage of elderly in the population and whether the healthcare system is overwhelmed seem like the biggest predictors of high mortality rate IMO.

  22. we are trying to prevent this from hitting everyone at once and overwhelming the medical profession. italy has problems because of the overwhelming case load. doctors CAN't treat everyone at once. we are hoping to slow the spread of the disease to over a few months rather than a few weeks. hopefully when the first wave is over we have a degree of herd immunity and future waves will not hit so hard at once. edit to add.....we also have a fair percentage of the population inoculated with a vaccine against the flu.....there is nothing like that yet for this virus.

  23. It's gonna be ugly for a few weeks, and we're starring down the worst of it in the coming weeks. Fact is many will lose this battle, and those people are likely going to be elder with underlying conditions. The good news is science WILL beat this, just a matter of when. Already hearing some very good breakthroughs, hopefully we will have a very strong treatment plan in the coming weeks and take a chunk out of this thing.

  28. No, if you are Joe right now...you don't say a thing. This is like when you were a kid and your parents are yelling at one of your siblings... You learn early on that chiming in just gets you in trouble too...so what do you do? You sit back and listen (from a safe distance, like on the stairs, so your parents don't know you can hear them yelling at your brother, the original social distancing)

  29. Would that not rely on the independent manager having incredible foresight by selling a bunch of stocks that have since plummeted and buying into multiple telehealth companies who look sure to grow without knowledge of non-public information that such outcomes were likely?

  31. This staff is more interested in what kids can do versus how they "look", whether that's their ranking or build. In this case, one of the few standards is that he can move sideline to sideline and is a fluid athlete.

  32. I don't think of this thread, and its title, as being "off base," but it did strike me as irresponsible when I saw it. Free speech, yes, but nice meme to pass around the internet? "Huskers benefit from the coronavirus." ??

  38. With no current sports to watch, people are queuing up the way-back machine. Somewhere down that path they got to the 1994 Orange Bowl (1993 season). Daming Benning pointed out they had first and goal from the four ... and had to kick a field goal. That piqued my interest given some of our discussions from this past year. So I had to check it out. National Championship game Two minutes to play Down by two Behind the Pipeline With Lawrence Phillips in the backfield Run the ball three straight times Lose five yards #JustRunTheDamnBall #Don'tGetTooCute Also, I've long been amazed at how much the end of the 2009 Big XII Championship game mirrored the end of the 1994 Orange Bowl. Kick a field goal late to take the lead Ensuing kickoff out of bounds Personal foul on the Husker defense aids the opponent on their game-winning drive Add one second back to the clock at the end to allow for another field goal attempt
