    To get Obamacare (ACA) passed he actually DID have to work across both parties.  That's something even Bill Clinton didn't get done in spite of having more of a push. 

     

    So you can call BS on it...but as a republican during that time, I saw that Obama did just that.  If anything, I see Obama less as a democrat overall...maybe a Dempublican would be a better description.

    About that working across the isle for Obamacare fantasy

    No he didn't.  He was using SARCASM to show just how lazy you were...you could have Googled the answer, but instead asked for someone else to do your work for you when EVERYONE knows burden of proof is on the person who claims something to prove...not upon the person NOT MAKING THE CLAIM. 

     

    In spite of this, Knapp actually linked you to proof....but you choose to ignore this.  So, a response dripping with sarcasm was given....which you also ignored and took as a factual response and not a sarcastic one.

     

    So, as I stated...you are too lazy to look yourself and instead ask people here...and you ignore the responses that point you in the right direction.

     

    I feel bad for you man...you keep acting like you're winning even though it's obvious to any logical person that you're not.

    “Turns out you're not wrong about SARS” Guy Chamberlain quote 
     

    So yea, he pretty clearly said I wan not wrong.  Knapp didn’t link to proof, he linked to CDC page showing what CDC did to help combat SARS.  It did not say or imply the CDC eradicated SARS so we didn’t need a vaccine.  Not sure why facts are hard for you.

    It sure can. For people with lupus it's a real lifesaver. So when your idiot President inspired a run on hyrdoxychloroquine among people it couldn't help, it threatened the supply for the folks who desperately needed it. 

     

     

    It has helped people with COVID.  One of your Democrat Republican candidates vouched for it.  Says her husband was helped when he took it.  It’s not for everyone though

    CDC Report released today on effects of mandated mask ordinances vs non-mandated counties.

     

    https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6947e2.htm?s_cid=mm6947e2_w

     

    This data is for Kansas from the time period June 1 to August 23.  It looks at the rates of cases across counties in Kansas before/after adoption of a mask mandate (in 24 counties) vs those that did not adopt a mask mandate (81 counties).

     

    So, before the mask mandates were adopted (during July), the bolded text shows what the rate in the 24 counties that ultimately adopted a mask mandate in July (3 cases/100,000) vs the rate in the 81 counties that never adopted a mask mandate (4 cases/100,000).  Thus the rate was similar, despite the 24 counties having a much higher share of the population of Kansas (67.3%).

     

    Then the CDC looked at the data ~1 month later, as the pandemic took off in Kansas, to when the governor stated a mask mandate:

     

    So the effects of the higher population density were much more devastating on the 24 counties that adopted a mask mandate - during the one month prior to the mandate, they went from 3 to 17 cases/100,000 (~6x increase) while the non-mandated counties increased from 4 to 6 cases/100,000 (1.5x increase).

     

    On July 3, the mask mandates started in the 24 counties, while the other 81 counties continued as before:

     

    So one month later, the mandated mask counties had started to slowly decline, while the non-mandated mask counties increased by a factor of 2x from early July.  The nonmandated counties were "catching up", as the ratio went from 17/6 = 2.83x higher in the in the 24 counties vs 81 counties on July 3 to 1.33x on Aug 23.

     

    This is the reason that medical officials have said and continue to say: "WEAR A MASK".

     

    Yet, all we hear from a certain population "Ain't no cloth gonna protect you none, nohow."

     

    Medical professionals never promised that masks would eliminate the virus, remove all risk, etc.  The goal all along has been to slow the spread as much as possible until the vaccine became available.  It is really concerning that a segment of the population cannot see this.  It is either gross stupidity or willful disregard for others.

     

    Oh, and Sweden, the darling of the anti-maskers?  Well they aren't doing so good right now.  Guess that "herd mentality" decided to run over a cliff.

     

    Summary:

                              Cases per 100000
      6/1 7/9 8/23 Notes
    24 Counties   3  17  16 Counties adopted mandate July 9
    81 Counties   4   6  12 Counties never adopted

     

     

     

    Before I start, I always wear a mask indoors when at a public place and currently don’t eat inside restaurants.  Stating that so people don’t think I am anti-mask, anti-science.  
     

    I find it interesting that the non-mandated counties have roughly 30% less prevalence than the mask mandated counties.  Now that data is back from August and things have definitely changed so it’s quite possible those non mask mandated counties have caught and surpassed the other counties.   Good case study for everyone to keep following. 
     

    On the Sweden thing, most of the people I heard from didn’t say anything about Sweden and masks wearing, it was more Sweden and keeping the economy open as much as possible. 
     

    hopefully people can hunker down as much as possible for the next three months, government can get economic money into the system, and we can all open up fully late spring.

  5. I have been hard on Martinez and still do not think he is that particularly good still.  However, he looks way more comfortable in the pocket than LM.  If Frost and Co. could teach him more accuracy and quicker decision making on when to throw the ball, he can be a serviceable QB on a winning team until NU gets the dynamic throw first QB and things can then take off.

    No, he's saying you're lazy and want to remain ignorant by not finding information yourself.

    No, he said I wasn’t wrong.  Why so crabby And defensive Blitz?  No one was even talking to you :dunno
     

    I asked a question to someone who had very reliable second hand knowledge about SARS to his perspective and you all get your panties in a wad.  His BIL literally worked with Fauci on a therapy for the disease.  

    But hey, at least you felt better and went into your happy place calling someone lazy and ignorant.  Glad you could add your expertise and advance the conversation forward :thumbs

    I think 2AM as QB is the way to go with LM getting at least 20 snaps a game at different positions.

    Probably the best route to go in order to win games.  Not a great long term solution, but I don’t know if we currently have one on the roster :( 

     

    I hope Frost can coach AM to just make quicker decisions when throwing.

    Because we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

     

    Do you only want to talk about the problems on offense? How about only defense? Both? Because if you can do both, you can add a conversation about crappy Big Ten refs in as well.

     

     

     

    Yet it gets the team nowhere.  
    NU can change and improve offense 

    NU can change and improve defense

    NU can change coaches 

    NU can do nothing about s#!tty refs
