Hahaha, yeah we know.

TY Branno. Pay attention here, college football. The NCAA season.... starts, shutdown, restart; Some scratched players, or a head coach or trainer quarantined, things resume, then cancellations; then restart again; then traveling, cold weather kicks in, etc. No bowls, no playoffs. As if it's unforeseen. This is not sports. This is crappy entertainment without the energy of fans in the stands, eating nachos, sipping from a flask, high five and hugs, the band, cheerleaders and cheering, etc I don't want fake football and interruptions. I'm done. Get this virus behind us and reboot next spring.

Barry played with a lot of heart and was a dedicated guy and I think people just attach to those sort of players and seem them as better than they are. I like Barry a lot, but I agree that replacing him with a better player improves our defense.

You are correct. We simply do not know if this is an acute case or will turn into a chronic case. We are talking about faculty here. They operate on a totally different mindset. Especially if they are in a union. Define what the term "severe" means; once we have established this, then we can begin the discussion. But we move forward because there has not been a "severe" case? And what do we do if a severe case emerges amongst a college football player? Or is transmitted to a person who is not an athlete? And because there has not been a severe case linked to a college student-athlete, does this fall in line with the paradigm of "the college student-athlete's health and safety is of supreme importance"? What do you propose we do if there is ONE severe case? This is where your definition of what constitutes severe is going to be important.

You just described bodily reactions when we lose a game.

I once pointed out a similar issue in Kansas polls per voter (there it's fewer polling places for the communities with a lot of Hispanics) and I was told I was gross for implying the Republican party was doing it on purpose.

Knapp is right. This from the 2016 election: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/03/23/ducey-rips-long-voter-lines-calls-them-unacceptable/82160766/ Stanton's letter to the Department of Justice said Phoenix, a city where minorities comprise the majority of the population, got a disproportionately small number of voting locations compared with more Anglo-dominated cities such as Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley and Peoria. For example, Phoenix had one polling place per 108,000 voters; Fountain Hills had one for every 22,500 voters.

3x the improvement!

Starting off with some good games. Can't wait to see the Big10 schedule.

Hey, the COVID discussion thread is called "Will there be a 2020 football season?" Lets please keep the COVID discussion over there. This thread is for discussing the upcoming season schedules and changes.

I just posted data a couple days ago - I'll let you go hunt it down and draw your own conclusions. https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ece0db09da4d4ca68252c3967aa1e9dd The bottom line is It is very rare that anyone under 30 even has a severe case of Covid. To take it a step further, people in excellent shape, like athletes, are at an even lower risk. The vast majority in this age class don't even get symptoms. Here is a quote from the Red Sox chief officer today regarding the one baseball player that made headlines, Eduardo Rodriguez- " ...the complication that he had was very mild in terms of just the severity of it." I don't blame the media for running with the story but it sounds like it may not have been worthy of the panic that it created. Can you find a single severe case involving a college athlete? There has sure been a lot of positive cases but I'm not aware of a single severe case.

You write a post where you are obviously "triggered" and end it with this. Interesting.

None. At this point it's becoming bizarre that you're so insistent this drug HAS TO BE a cure.

for a minute there, I thought you were talking about Viagra

I think you’re right.

Sound familiar?

Iowa at 3 seems kinda high. That's where they finished last year and now they've lost a bunch, they're the only team with a division crossover slate harder than us, and they a racism controversy.

Time to prove something.

Oh I think he understands it quite clearly. Or rather he at least he understands that increased absentee voting is bad for Republicans which means it's also bad for him. And he's always been a conspiratorial hack when it comes to elections. This is the same guy who tried claiming 3 million undocumented immigrants voted for his opponent, causing him to lose the popular vote, and set up a sham commission with a bunch of the leading quacks and weirdos from around the nation to back this up. There have been quite a few stories lately about Republicans perturbed about Trump attacking vote by mail, fearing that it's going to depress GOP mail-in votes in a crucial election and hurt them. Boy wouldn't that be the worst?!

I believe she's the current leader of the Congressional Black Caucus.

I said I wouldn’t look up old posts and I won’t. But here is an article I just saw by chance. He says it is an effective treatment when used early. Just read the article- not everything is fake. https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/local-doctor-pushing-proven-treatment-of-covid-into-national-debate/article_ca59497a-c539-11ea-8943-4f707d6ebc1a.html?fbclid=IwAR3Fhc0GdwsfcdZ7cHTBZMQrF1Vv1UyiKOS86d7OQBzbFfnYeSNGZrXb8fg He admits it doesn’t help once disease is advanced. Which is what the trials mostly tested that said it didn’t work. But if it could help people from getting it or have a more mild case why not look into it more

From the studies I've seen, and the people on the frontlines I've spoken to, if HCQ could help, it would be early in the process, as an antiviral - combined with the right drugs. There is a downside though, prescribed too late and you are adding the adverse side effects to the body, while covid (Immune Response) is already attacking those same organs - so you're making things significantly worse. If you think about the type of patients coming to the hospital are past the stage an antiviral would be effective, if you add HCQ to the mix you are adding stress to the heart and kidneys, and most likely getting very little benefit. At best HCQ is a tool that could be effective early in the process, at the Physicians discretion. If you think about what Covid does to the body, at the point someone is in bad shape (Heart, Lung, Kidney) it's not the virus that's causing it at that point. Sure the virus started it, but it's our immune response TO the virus. So an antiviral does little good at that point.

Some of the videos posted here from "docotrs" have been from questionable sources. I can remember one from a source that worked at an urgent care clinic. Not an ER or ICU where these patients are typically treated. Some I think aren't even MDs. Knap's skepticism doesn't come from hatred, it's from an abundance of caution and the smell test. There's only one particular camp pushing HC and it isn't the infectious disease experts; infact those are he people cautioning against it's use. Why don't we want to listen to the people who job and expertise are to understand and eradicate these viruses? They don't have a hidden agenda like a politician might. Sure HC might have benefits for some people, just like essential oils have some benefit for people, but in reality all the clinical trials that have been done so far don't show any meaningful benefit to taking the drug. Science isn't perfect but there is reasoning there, not blind hope.

That is a result of artificial tanning

Oompa loompa isn't a real race so I'm not sure people exist on this planet with natural orange skin

Honestly, I am not going to spend any time trying to find all the video's and posts I have seen or people have sent me. I dont have a "need" for everyone to think like me. I just have a little fun here and there posting on the board. I have seen others post on here about Dr's posting. So I am not the only one. There has been numerous postings over the last few months. But you are not really interested in watching anything that contradicts your belief structure. There could be 50 doctors saying they use it and its effective and you along with all other Trump haters would say oh they are just a trump lover- those video's are fake. So why even waste our time?

They did it again -

Are you on team ACC now? Let's flip the script. What happens if the mighty ACC+SEC goes alone and plays a season where multiple players get sick and schools have massive outbreaks? How is that going to look?

I don’t need it to be a cure. I would like to know why dr’s post online videos of their success with the drug, which lines up more with the virology journal findings. Why do you need it to not be a possible treatment?

Or just scroll down and read the virologists conclusion if you don’t want to read the whole thing. It says chloroquine is a relatively safe drug used to treat many human illnesses. It was shown effective to inhibit and stop the spread of SARS in cultures. Also it could be effective therapy. Knapp you are blinded by your hate for trump. How can you not read that and say why was it dismissed so early? SARS and Covid are both in the coronavirus family. They are not exactly the same but pretty similar. How was it a safe drug then, and for many years treating other viruses and now it’s not safe anymore? It’s wierd narratives like it’s not safe that make people question the whole thing.

Maybe there could just be a new party called The Conservative Party. Ideally what I'd like to happen is Trump lose the election and get removed and then fade a way; whatever it takes for that to happen. I don't want to have to keep hearing from him for ages which I fear is what's going to happen. Although if it hurts the Republican party to have him stick around being an a$$h@!e, then I guess it's ok.

How is banning rally’s delaying a campaign? It affects both candidates and they both have other options to reach voters. Or, are you trying to help trump set the stage for delaying/canceling the election because he’s failing so bad?

And we have people on this very board saying "But Fauci!". It's obvious Trump listening to people like Kushner over people like Fauci IS the problem.

I don't often read Vanity Fair but this story is incredibly damning for the entire administration from the top down. In particular it reiterates Kushner's incompetence and fecklessness, in case you thought putting him in charge of a national testing strategy or Middle East peace were actually good ideas. Nothing more needs said if you read it.

this guy is far right....but look at what he has to say about moving the election. guess this makes him a never trumper and a RINO https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/opinion/trump-delay-election-coronavirus.html I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate.

I don’t really have any faith in them not messing up

Here is the Cali guy https://www.thedesertreview.com/opinion/letters_to_editor/local-doctor-pushing-proven-treatment-of-covid-into-national-debate/article_ca59497a-c539-11ea-8943-4f707d6ebc1a.html?fbclid=IwAR2Ng5eTortN0aYeUpIFrFvAkPefswGAxGXu_x3ZFvZIFygAAcIe4puybI0

So you were talking about the demon sex doctor. That whole video has been debunked so badly that it's been pulled all over the internet.

How many of those trials had to retract their findings? Did the FDA actually finish their testing? Were those clinical trials inclusive of the cocktail actually being used? HIV is treated with a cocktail not 1 drug. If you just tried treating it with 1 drug it doesn’t work- but the combo does.

You just answered it. You are just blinded by politics so no point in talking. I just saw a post of Facebook of a lady who used the cocktail and 2 days later she felt pretty good. Frontline drs results don’t matter to you, because you can’t admit it because that would give trump a win in your mind. But it’s not a political win, it’s about helping people. The doctors are using it as a cocktail not all by itself. Do you have any studies that show this cocktail doesn’t work to contradict frontline drs or do you just believe it doesn’t work because one of the cocktail drugs happens to be chloroquine?

Great theme song.

"Despite the characterization in the mainstream media as the drug being “ineffective” and “dangerous,” the evidence in the literature tells a different story. I am not only an “MD,” but a former Harvard Medical School assistant professor and UCLA School of Medicine associate professor as well and am very competent at evaluating studies. There is ample evidence now that the HCQ cocktail is effective and there is no good evidence that there are significant side effects."

How does this simpleton President not understand how voting by mail works? We've been doing it for years in Colorado, it works fine. His latest comment is just headshaking. From memory..."We're talking about sending out tens of millions of ballots. You don't know where they're going. It's terrible". Where/Who the f#ck does he think they get mailed to? Dumbass. They get sent to the address of registered voters. Anyone who supports this ignorant simpleton should be so embarrassed that they would never in a million years think of letting on that they're okay with this idiot. It just amazes me that we have people in this country that are so completely gullible and stupid that they don't realize how absolutely ignorant they expose themselves to be. Instead of MAGA hats what they all need is the "<---- I'm With Stupid" t-shirts. The only people we should be worried about voting are the intelligence challenged Trump supporters that have failed to decipher the simplest truths about their imbecile leader.

very common to test neg. today and be positive day after tomorrow.

If you don't think Trump suggesting tampering with our election is serious, this is an example of the kind of rationalization many of his supporters will gravitate to now that he's suggested it. Do not underestimate the willingness of Republicans to monkey around with our democratic processes if they think it will help them. In 2018 Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was merely the guy in charge of administering an election he was a candidate in. He oversaw massive voter purges of massively disproportionate minority voters when his opponent was Black. He also oversaw closures of polling places, again in disproportionately minority communities. He also blatantly lied by accusing the GA Democratic Party of hacking the state registration website TWO DAYS before the general election. It was later discovered there was zero evidence to support his claim. But he won the election by a very narrow margin (1.5%) so one could call his tactics successful, I guess? Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has had no problem closing lots of polling places in Arizona, again in very disproportionately urban and minority areas. Anybody who's watched any election coverage the past couple years should remember the ridiculously long lines in cities like Phoenix and stories of people waiting 6+ hours in line to vote. Trumpers can claim this is all a joke or Trump raises a good point or whatever, but there's some kernel of truth in the vast majority of stuff that's said even jokingly. And anyone who thinks these clowns have any reservation at all about trying to rig the game if they think it will help them isn't paying attention.

So what you’re saying is that you are gonna turn into Ronnie Coleman then? Or officer Clegane
