Restaurants and bars are falling like crazy. Harvest closed in Louisville today as well. Keep those fake numbers up and stupid restrictions though. All while encouraging rioters in downtown Louisville. This is awesome.
Our health department board just voted to start citing individuals and businesses not complying with the mask mandate. Who hands out those citations and how they are enforced is beyond me.

We live in virus purgatory and those handful of people making the rules are not even close to giving it up, doubling down, actually.

In related news a month into Catholic school for the twins, they are learning in person from actual teachers, making new friends and not one case reported. My 14 year old is bored as hell at home, this will be a lost year for her and those virtual learning...it’s a joke.

GO ANDY GO!

At least the NFL is back tonight. I'm not an NFL fan but it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if the NFL's return is similar to after 9/11 and helps everyone get back to normal. Sure beats putting flags at half-mast for a week.

- Don’t make me go in on politics on 6 hours sleep over the last two days. Nobody wants that.

- How awesome was that Raptors-Celtics game last night?

- F the Celtics and Tatum. Hate those bitches.

- We have some bigtime college football starting tonight. Get up!

- Going home today. To celebrate my new edition, going to have a pour of the RVW 10 year the wife bought me as a wedding gift. I have better bottles but that’s been dubbed my “special occasion” bourbon.

From Pat Forde's most recent SI.com article, about how football schools are refusing to divulge information about COVID activity..

Public health information shouldn’t be controlled by football coaches who are worried about giving an opponent information—or jeopardizing the ability to compete. For instance: in recent weeks, the default answer from athletic programs about positive tests is that the virus is being transmitted via social interactions, not in the course of practice or competition. Can we trust that assessment? Especially when there is strong disincentive to admit any element of spread that came from within a team?

😂😂

I guess Forde missed the part where the schools insisting on playing football just don't give a flying F.

<-- absolutely loves the good, ole fashioned "nah, they got that **** somewhere else" argument. Well done.

Chad is entering the parental blackout period...not because of any sort of substance but the combination of lack of quality sleep and some sort of human protective hormone kicks in and erases those first few months of parenthood from your memory save a few "firsts" that you download into the hard drive. The rest is just a blur.

On one hand, I agree with the sentiment that we need to open things up and let people assess the risk for themselves, but on the other, I personally know 2 people that have died from Covid (and they weren't old and fat..).

This sucks.

Umm impossible- both your nuanced opinion and your claim. Apparently, you haven’t been following GYERO: COVID Edition.

Not to turn this into DADYERO but you guys weren’t kidding with the no sleep thing. I had no idea they fed every 2-3 hours and only went in and out of sleep.
And you'll probably feel like a bum because your wife, who just pushed out a human being from her body, will for all intents and purposes appear to be much less tired than you.

Don't fall for it, though. It's all hormones and drugs.

-😆. That will last somewhere from 6 wks to 3 years in my experience. Godspeed.

-covid mitigation: we used a chainsaw when we should've used a scalpel...we can all agree on that, some of us just recognized it a bit earlier.

Could have agreed and let it go if you didn’t bring the lying, orange, charlatan POS into it. He’s hated and distrusted for good reason and it’s not hard to see why, especially for a gentleman like yourself.
His “leadership” during this has been pitiful.

Nuanced is a word that popped up during this, it can GGP.

Considering all the ******** in the world today ON BOTH SIDES, it’s actually apropos.

You particularly have been very rational and levelheaded on the pandemic. I’ve appreciated it.

A scalpel would have been great in late January and February, for sure.

Quite a morning for a MAGA victory lap.
...and since then? Where we've done everything we can to keep the country locked down? Pitched every red herring to Commonwealth possible to scare the f*ck out of them? Deceptively present numbers they know aren't correct. Needlessly closed business, mandated ridiculous travel restrictions, shame small business owners while simultaneous suffocating them, kept our kids out of school for over 6 months, and on and on. You, for one, constantly yearn for the type of life we had in the 50-60's. Think this would fly then? F*ck no.

All that ^ while encouraging pieces of **** to destroy our biggest city and 30 years worth of downtown revitalization.

Makes it hard to take the blue side's pandemic fear serious when they started massive riots in the middle of said pandemic.

Buddy is the COO of a flagship hospital in a major MSA. I went back and looked at his texts. On March 27th he sent me one saying "they're thinking this virus is probably transmitted airborne."

Trump's on tape FEBRUARY 7TH saying they KNEW it was airborne. Could have helped if Trump didn't withhold information or "downplay it" as he admitted.

But it's whatever, I guess. ***** liberals.

I believe SAE and I have both spoken out in disagreement with the Governor’s handling of things and of the rioting. Even my daughter AOC can back me on that.

Shortly before my first child was born, SAE's brother pulled me aside and said that one of his kids didn't sleep through the night for over a year. And not this "just woke up and needed to be put back to bed" thing. Like up all night and keeping him and his wife up all night too. He then gave me this weird look and said, "you start thinking bad things, man". That was my wake-up call. Eyes wide open after that.

I'm not talking about Trump, but since this would've saved everyone, why didn't it work in Italy, France, Spain, Netherland, Belgium, UK, Brazil, Chile?

I agree with all of what you said except this. Democrats started riots? I think the cops that pointlessly killed black people started the riots. #nuance.
Like the guy in Atlanta who got killed for driving drunk + fighting with police + stealing their taser and firing it at them (and the police officer is currently being prosecuted for murder for no other reason than to appease the mob)?

Or maybe like the rapist who fought with police while at the home of his rape victim and then tried to retrieve a knife and who isn't even dead?

Or maybe the guy who was high on fentanyl and probably died from a heart attack related to that?

So far about 3 times as many people have died from rioting compared to unarmed black people killed by police every year. Maybe we should start rioting to protest the rioting?!?!

Why didn't what work? Do you think the President of the United States, with access to the greatest IC in the world could have been more effective by not withholding that type of information? Do you think downplaying it was the right strategy?

You guys like to disassociate yourselves with this POS while never condemning what he does, or in this case, doesn't do. ****'s old.

No they didn't. They joined in for political purposes cause this country is a confederacy of dipshits that fawn over optics. Those riots were happening regardless. Probably made it worse tho. I'll concede that.

EDIT: I'm the biggest hypocrite right now. Starting political debate in the rando thread. My bad.

Good Morning:

:: Of all the millions of things COVID and the consequences of pro-action/reaction to the disease have done to the world my absolute least favorite is that people feel they've been forced to choose a side. Much like everything else that gets "debated" in this world you get labeled if you fall on one side or the other. I absolutely effing hate it. You would think the one thing we could all get behind is doing everything we can to eradicate a virus and prevent a pandemic.

:: The fact is three elderly people are dead in Maine because they came in contact to people that went to a wedding that did not follow protocol and the officiant of that wedding keeps holding services that don't follow CDC guidelines. This kind of irresponsibility in unconscionable. 140-ish people decided, "what will be will be," and it ended up killing three people that weren't at the venue.

:: I have a circle and it keeps getting smaller and sicker. H's uncle has tested positive, lost his sense of smell, and has spent the better part of the last 10 days away from my nieces. One guy he works with went to a hot spot then came back to work and infected 15 people.

:: I know of a 300+ person wedding that happened around here recently. This **** just pisses me off to no end. Even at the "acceptable" positive test rate of 5% that's still 15 people that can potentially infect others. How many places do those 15 people go a day? If those 15 people think it's OK to go to a 300 person wedding in an enclosed space does that mean they're all good with going to hot spots? It's **** like this that are going to keep those restrictions we so desperately hate in place.

:: The thing about this is we have to come to grips with the fact that we are a nation of selfish ********. We are in it for ourselves and our families. We are all about the personal freedom to do and say whatever the Hell it is we want. The pandemic is thriving on this. People are having the hardest time realizing that they can/will infect others. The more people start protecting themselves for the sake of others the quicker we can get back to full stadiums.

Why didn't that information work with the other world leaders? You realize all those great Euro countries have the same or higher deaths per capita than the US?
