We've learned a lot since China admitted in late January that there was a virus on the loose, but no one has done a good job (including Johns Hopkins) of identifying the key factors about which we should be vigilant
and which might help return some normalcy to life. Part of the problem was the mantra of "follow the science" when we knew nothing about the virus and the Chinese refused to let scientists from around the world into the country to evaluate the early strains, etc. So, it was running wild there for over three months before they told us about it and we lost valuable time and ultimately, lives, while world economies were destroyed.

Factors like the percentage of people within various groups (age, gender, etc.) that have tested positive and the percentage of those who have died for example. We've been given totals of deaths by age groups and it's obviously the elderly are most at risk but we don't know enough to be able to make basic informed decisions as to whether or not to have a family gathering of low risk people.

We should be shown the studies that prove there is a statistically proven benefit to wearing masks, or avoiding gatherings of more than 6 people, or any of the other new norms while it's deemed OK to have riots or political gatherings. Last night, out to dinner with two other couples, one of the guys told me about a well regarded study that showed wearing masks was statistically insignificant. I asked him to send me the info.

My point is that people that are broadly at low risk, like those under 45, are losing their homes, unable to pay their rent or their car payments and kids are being denied an education because we're treating everyone as if they're over 75 and have underlying health problems while the number of deaths from pneumonia still exceed those from Covid19 in the USofA.

Bruh.
 
There were almost 2 million tests on Saturday, so the 177,000 positives were about a 9% positive rate. High but not the 21% we saw in April. And the FDA approved Regeneron yesterday and 80,000 doses will be ready by the end of the month. We keep getting better at this every day.

I freely admit I am willing to look for any silver lining that let's us play basketball this week. Go Huskies.

So basically your saying Dom amore is in the dark about this just like the rest of us

This doesn't get to what you're talking about specifically, but it does debunk the sweeping narrative of "We know nothing about this virus!" that's plagued a lot of public and interpersonal communication. It turns out that while there's elements we're not aware of, there's a lot of relevant prior experience with other coronaviruses that should have and should continue to guide public health and medical decisions. It's a really good read.

Unfortunately, while “not being a fringe scientist peddling hydroxchloroquine and Clorox as a solution” is a positive for functional thinking humans, you’re dealing with Watchdog.

Heck of an effort though.

You’re missing the whole point. It’s not about the low risk people getting it and getting sick/dieing. It’s about them getting it and then passing it along to others who in turn get sick and die. The protocols put in place are to stop the spread. I never understood all these people having hissy fits about it being a free country and they can choose to not wear a mask. It’s the most selfish stance you can take. You do it to protect your neighbor, protect your parents. I’m not scared of getting the virus. But I am scared of my in-laws or my mom getting it. And there’s people out there who could give a less about spreading it to them because they think they will be fine and only care about themself.

I don't have a lot of experience with him so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand the need for that, but at some level if you've decided to play the season you need to put out the schedule. We all understand it may change, but it's not fair to both teams to have no idea if a game is even scheduled three days before it may happen. Of course, it may not occur if someone tests positive. But that shouldn't prevent scheduling the game.

I would imagine that even though the fans are out of the loop, as far as the schedule is currently concerned, the principles involved may know a little more.

Well, that opens up my second week of December. I was getting irritated by price of YouTube and was going to do a price comparison. If Hulu is going up to same price, no need to switch.

For me, to just list sports networks on YTTV has MLB, NFL and NBA Network, something Hulu doesn't have.

Hulu live is better if you bundle Disney+ and ESPN+ but the entire industry is getting out of hand. It’s becoming the price of cable at this rate.

I can see that. I get the Hulu library free with my phone plan. I never felt the need for ESPN+ being in the Big East Conference.

Guys keep in mind they didn’t practice for 2 full weeks right? I say we win comfortably but final score margin of victory between 15-25
 
What's the over/under for how many active scholarship players get minutes in these games?
 


>The NCAA set Wednesday, Nov. 25, as the day teams can begin playing regular season games, and the Huskies had penciled those games in. However, the team had to pause activities for two weeks due to a positive COVID-19 test on Nov. 5. They began practicing last Thursday, and coach Dan Hurley wanted to see how his players would respond to the layoff before committing to nonconference games.

Hurley was concerned about ramping players up to game speed with only six days of practice, but at noon Monday, the OK was given.<

Looks like UConn is trying to get a game scheduled for 12/8 as well. Tune up before Big East opener and after 3 P5 games - makes sense. Think Quinnipiac makes sense. In state, currently has games scheduled 12/4 and 12/12. Maine game was canceled.
