Hi there, I do safety/high reliability consulting for healthcare, so I have an unique outlook. The point you made, that is now bolded and underlined above, couldn’t be further from the reality I was part of since January 14th. Warnings we’re given to every country and multiple health entities about the concern for the outbreak by the Taiwanese government, including the WHO, on December 31st. The WHO initially downplayed it as another simple coronavirus until they released a warning in Janurary 5th that finally changed their tone. The concern for the disease was shared with us and our company on January 14th (I will keep the email forever) by the CDC and sent out via our internal leadership team. If the CDC knew, you know dang well the admin knew. In fact, the CDC notification also had info about The briefings they had with US Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar. Alex “briefed the president on multiple occasions over the prior week.” So that puts the admin knowing by, at the very latest, on Janurary 10th. Deputy National Security Advisor, Matthew Pottinger, also had his intel updates fall on deaf ears because of what he called “political obstacles”. The first confirmed case was Jan 21. We had enough data at that point to understand there was a significant threat with how quickly this was spreading. It took the admin until Janurary 31 to put a ban on travel from China. It then took six weeks until the admin issued concrete guidelines. That wasn’t because of misinformation at all. The narrative around this novel virus remained the same that entire time: Its dangerous, and it’s going to kill a lot of people. In fact, rather than listening to the strenuous and sustained advice of experts, Trump focused on and was often swayed by petty politics, advise from his uninformed business associates, and conspiracy theories. This multi-week delay resulted in a lack of effective quarantining measures, a lack of testing centers and equipment, a failure to reallocate existing resources, and most importantly, the widespread confusion about how seriously the public should be taking this disease. Fauci was consistent from the beginning by saying it’s a threat, we need to socially distance and follow quarantine guidelines. Had we followed those things from the beginning, Trump would look like the savior, not the fool. March 10th - Trump to Republican Senators "This was unexpected. ... And it hit the world. And we're prepared, and we're doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away." I could go on and on. The point is, we had plenty of early warning signs, the leadership of the country just fell flat on its face. They did it again by reducing restrictions too soon. Had we all taken this seriously from the beginning, including the leadership of the country, we’d have football games to look forward to in a couple weeks. Someone put it perfectly earlier when they said our country’s leadership has been an “unmitigated disaster.” New Zealand is the perfect example of how to do this in the most effective way. Today was the first time in 102 days that they had an active case. That was only because the 4 active individuals traveled outside of the country and brought it back in with them. They’ll continue their journey, while we’ll wait for some magical vaccine that isn’t going to come. Wear a mask, wash your hands, socially distance. Don’t be like my idiotic uncles who are currently in Sturgis, SD. It’s not hard, folks. Do your part and maybe we get football by next fall.

Every Huskers player is posting the same thing. It’s all about the unity, and the sales pitch. Love it! This is something we would have seen from a traditional Huskers team, but not from one driven by Billy C., Bo P., or the other guy who filled in from 2015-2017 (can’t remember his name and it Riley doesn’t matter). (I’ve had too much to drink)

Bill Callahan sux massive donkey (baby’s arm holding an apple)

@Landlord I didn’t mean to direct that last post at you. It was supposed to be a general statement. You, sir, don’t have the scurvy. You’re a stand up guy who always gets enough vitamin C.

The foundation crumbled under Callahan because he wanted to build something new. He didn’t respect the tradition. I remember reading that he had the majority of the pictures of former players removed from the facilities. Callahan was a terrible hire. The coattails of tradition that he tried to remove are what led to any success at all. You don’t go from a world class defense, and a tradition of accountability to your teammates, to giving up 73 points to Kansas without being a complete, smelly pile of triceratops crap. Bill C. and Steve P. were the catalyst that started the downfall. Praising Callahan is essentially the same as praising as massive turd for stinking. Congratulations... Rant Over. Wait... He’s one of only 5 people in the world I’d punch without hesitation if I came a crossed him in an ally. Now, rant over. Hold up... he also had scurvy and gonorrhea. Rant complete

And our upperclassmen will want some revenge against this coach for the CU game last year. We better kick their asse(t)s.

He posted a video of him walking a dog 23 hrs ago on Instagram stories (disappear after 24 hrs) so I doubt it. Either that or it was minor if anything at all.

Dear lord. Time to go back into hiding. See you guys at season start. Hahaha!

It’s been a busy few months. What did I miss?

This could be a possibility. Maybe it’s also/or that McCaffery looks much better this year than last, and that gives them the best chance to win now based on how little Martinez has progressed. Maybe it’s that Frost sees more potential in McCaffery in the long term and wants to give him as many snaps as he can to help him progress fast. Maybe it’s time for Runza. Maybe...

I think we’re going to see kids wanting to be closer to home more and more.

More trouble at Iowa. Not sure if this belongs in here, but this is an interesting situation. https://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=29384495

Mama Fratelli?

Will Iowa lose more than just Doyle? Sounds like he was a gem to be around. I bet that can’t be good for recruiting.

2 lane divided, 65 mph. You can run 80. You only run into highway patrol around Chillicothe and St. Joseph. Every now and then you might see one near Macon, but it’s rare.

I live in Colorado, but travel that road a lot due to family in Macon, MO.

That feeling you get when everyone just ignores what you think is a controversial post.

Relegation should be used in college football.

Decision coming soon? https://mobile.twitter.com/tj35ballin/status/1268669033085390851

Dang it! I just posted this to Haarberg’s recruit thread and thought I was the first.

https://mobile.twitter.com/hkhaarberg10/status/1268291315894288385?s=12 Best one yet!

Good get

Worked out today with Nebraska Elite 7v7

We need this one. However, being 3rd to offer an instate star doesn’t look good. Neither does “Proud” vs “Very Proud” and “Blessed”, or “amazing”.

We need this one.
