Ope. Here we go with the "Rutgers isn't our rival" stuff again. Sheesh!

But he got the opportunity to go to a P5 school and play. He fits the offense and has some sub par qbs to go against. Why would it benefit him to go to SDSU? Does he fit that system better or something? Even so, he has a chance to play right away at P5 and you take that every time with wide open competition. People knocked this kid during Spring 2018 and I was included in that boat. Since then, he has put in work and improved his game. He definitely has the talent to be a D1 QB and wants to make the most of it. We will see how well he does. He will be going against a lot of great teams and that has to be way more exciting than one good game, if he went to SDSU, against NDSU every year. Also, he may have brought some dual credits from high school to graduate early. That in itself is very impressive while playing a sport.

I didn't even know where to put this: Donald Trump is a sociopath enabled by deplorables.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/12/nebraska-coronavirus-case-numbers-meatpacking/ Sure thing Pete. I lie about where I work all the time...because, reasons.

Is this the plandemic thread?

His supervisors are showing him the CDC document stating that this is an appropriate thing to do. As far as safety towards the virus, we have locked down all our facilities. No non-employee can enter. If anyone has symptoms they are sent home or told to stay home. If they live with a person who has been tested positive, they are told to stay home. All those require a doctor's note that nobody has had a problem receiving (if asked for). They are required to have another DR. note releasing them to come back to work. We don't require masks because all of our work stations are separated far enough apart. Any office personnel who can work from home have been split into two shifts, one working from home, the other one here. All truck drivers are not allowed in the shipping office, they must stay in their trucks unless needed outside to strap down. So, we feel we have been very proactive in this. This has been one of the last steps but haven't had the thermometers. Till now....and now we have this issue. He's a very key employee in production. But, my attitude is, fine. if you refuse, go home. You won't get a Drs note so you won't get the FMLA pay and you won't get unemployment either. If I cater to him because he's a "valuable employee", how can I turn around and require the rest of the employees to do it? I already have employees upset that he won't do it because the process is in place to keep them safe. I just don't get it.

Read what you copied/pasted. This has nothing to do with them seeing COVID patients. They got payments for lost revenue due to people not going to doctors due to many/most states completely banning elective procedures in April. Also the payments were supposed to help cover expenses for them to buy additional PPE and train their workforce for the COVID environment.

It's almost like some people want to use false information to blame so-called scientists and so-called experts for the situation.

C N Red and RedSavage. It was refuted by Jaws, Red Five, commando, ZRod and methodical. There were 24 replies to that status (not counting NUance's). Nine were just discussing it, four responses from the two individuals above said they'd heard about this, and the other eleven from the second group refuted it.

I would absolutely love for the US to have maybe 4 different parties that all have elected officials within the government. From time to time, one party will gain a little while another one loses. It would eb and flow with the times. However, until we get our elections fixed, all we will see is these different factions trying to take over the two main parties......which, in my mind has been a disaster.

Yeah...I mean...not anymore. If you are recruiting guys that you are not going to see the potential of for 3-4 years...you are recruiting the wrong guys.

Then Mr Schmidt won't mind when Trump shines the light into the hole. I mean, there aren't any rats who will be scared right? Manafort moved to house arrest

She is insane but if she wants to get me more money, I am all for it! Also, I have taught forever...I do not know one teacher that works multiple jobs (unless you count coaching) or sells plasma...I tried selling some other bodily fluids though! I also love how Gates is "exploring ways" for him and other billionaires to help. Ha...Geez, it must be so hard to think of how they could help.

That remains to be seen but Rutgers qbs are not good. I’d assume they brought him in with the expectation of him starting.

Tell if he goes home tomorrow, don't bother coming in on Friday.

I like the kid and he is smart, but not sure he is a major D1 QB. Would have been good at SD St.

what competition?

Added CBS preview.

First paragraph. Not all of this is based off of covering expenses for COVID patients. There has been a big drop in patients at some hospitals due to delayed treatments or surgeries which has caused them to have budget issues.

There's something wrong with a healthcare system where I pay for the top level of dental insurance, but my wife's simple procedure on her tooth ends up costing me $3,000 out of pocket. That is frustrating as hell.

In casually reading this thread, it seems that you keep repeating this, even though multiple posters have shown it to not be true. What gives?

it may not be death related, but hospitals are definitely getting paid for COVID related cases... https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/finance/14-health-systems-receiving-biggest-cares-act-payments.html

Going to a conference rival with immediate eligibility. Here we go. If there's actually a season this year, we could face Vedral in our seventh game.

The anti Fauci stuff blows my mind. He’s literally a top public health expert, giving his opinion on a novel virus. People are acting like he’s out to get them.

At least STD rates should drop?

Well maybe but until we have the important data released (actual infection rates across the entire population) it is impossible to tell. It may well be that the mortality rate is very very low and all the shutdown / social distancing / etc was basically for naught. By fall it may be that 65% or more of population has already had the virus. That will make all the fuss over trying to contain the spread useless and fiscally stupid beyond all comprehension. The med “experts” who drove the bus into the grand canyon economically will never be believed / trusted again.

You keep saying this, but it is simply not true. Medicare pays hospitals the same amount for a COVID diagnosis of a Medicare patient if they survive or die in their care. Their is no bonus/additional/extra funds for a COVID death. Multiple posters have told you this multiple times. Either you are just ignoring it out of ignorance or you can not read.

It's good that Clester has been around this long enough to know that the vast majority of fans are good and will leave him and his son alone with the decision. It's sad though that they have to deal with a few blubbering idiots that think their purpose in life is to tweet recruits and their families. If you tweet recruits and families, you need to seriously examine your life.

Yep, I have. And in most cases (states) the highest paying teacher jobs are in the biggest district which is almost always the district that has the inner city schools. And I also have friends that teach in other big cities, in farm towns off 1,000, and over seas in places like Cairo, Egypt. I am not saying there are not teachers out there that work multiple jobs, I am just saying that out of the ones I know, none work multiple jobs. One DID, years ago to help put her kids through private HS. But that was a while ago. We are an easy target for politicians and they know that, so it is smart to use "us"...like I said, if she wants to get me more money I will be happy to give her my banking info.

I'm glad there are progressives like you and hopefully more will move into that group.

Everyone is pretty much focusing on different aspects of the bill and using that to argue their point. They are getting paid for increased expenses as well as decreased revenue due to COVID. @DevoHusker said it isn't just patient deaths (which I think was an earlier assertion) but they are getting paid for COVID cases. @BigRedBuster You just said basically the same thing @DevoHusker said then acted like it was an argument against what he said. Not all of it is supposed to cover COVID cases, but some of it is. @Red Five It does have to do with having to treat COVID patients. Not all of it, but some of it does. And having to buy additional supplies and do additional training is exactly (part of) what they are getting paid to do. They wouldn't have to do that if it wasn't for COVID. HHS.gov

I agree on Eastman. I actually voted for Bacon last time. I guess Eastman’s progressive ideas concerned me before, but now I’ve warmed up to them. Baseless Trump backing is an automatic No vote for me. Plus I don’t like Bacon’s stance on gun control.

Yes, Eastman almost knocked off Bacon 4 years ago, for a far left progressive to almost knock off a Pro Trump/Military candidate is impressive. Hell Obama won an electoral vote out of Omaha in 2008.

I was responding to a poster who asked a question. This line of conversation came from a status in which I pointed out that a 50-something year old woman in my town was on hospice care, dying from cancer. She had a heart attack at home and was resuscitated. They took her to the hospital where she died. The hospital reported it as a Covid-19 death. Is this a case of over-reporting?

I think I’ve improved my pull-ups during quarantine. what do you think?

Many of my friends and relatives didn’t trip, they went out of their way to dig a tunnel under that bar... ”my 2nd grade understanding of Christian theology trumps a doctors advice on health matters!”...

I think there's a difference of where Obama campaigned, which I agree was much more in the middle of Dem voters, and where Obama governed, which was more to the right especially on economic issues.

This is, maybe, where we're going to have to go with this eventually. I'd love to live risk-free from Covid until there's a vaccine, but who's to say there's ever a vaccine? We can't stay isolated forever.

This is false. It doesn't matter if a person dies or not, but Medicare (aka the government) roughly pays a hospital a $13k flat rate for that hospital having a Medicare member that gets admitted with COVID. I think Medicare pays ~$40k for an admit with a ventilator, death or no. There are no "bonus" payments that hospitals are getting for having a person dies with COVID. Medicare (aka the government) has a fee schedule that they follow for payments to hospitals/doctors. This fee schedule varies based on the severity of the admit/procedure, as well as a couple other factors (the location of the hospital/doctor, etc). If a non-Medicare person gets admitted with COVID, then that hospital gets $0 from the government. They would get the negotiated rate with the insurance company that covers the person admitted.

But setting aside 3 scholarships to not use for scholarship recruiting is putting yourself on probation. I can’t believe how you can be so wrong on so many things.

Bingo. These weirdos get their rocks off by thinking they are saving the world from a tyranical government and they want to parade around in their combat outfits and show off their guns. They love it that they think they can just walk into the capital building and threaten law makers.

I cannot tell you how accurate that statement is and how refreshing it is for him to say it out loud. If special teams was a 'good-to-great' unit, we should go bowling this year.
