@kid_riles Looked a little different from my perspective

Does #PayPal owe us $2500 for their own apparent misinformation? Inquiring minds**

@hugh_mankind Which they've also outlawed going forward https://t.co/UM3JBl3gAC

@tmarusic @Unclerico9806 @stick1505 @ESPNRittenberg @JPRockMO @CFBHeather @Mark_Schlabach You lost me. Of course no individual school is losing billions, nor would they even in a worst case scenario lawsuit. But they stand to lose infinitely more financially by not playing than they do in the liability of playing. It’s bs politics.

@MattersDensity @MemTiger777 @CoachRHowell @ESPNRittenberg @Sean_Callahan @CFBHeather @Mark_Schlabach Because totally none of that is actually going to happen when you send these kids home without instruction, structure, testing, nor state of the art medical care.

[JE @j_eng21]

@tmarusic @Unclerico9806 @stick1505 @ESPNRittenberg @JPRockMO @CFBHeather @Mark_Schlabach So the logical course is to cower to the potential of multi million dollar lawsuits while guaranteeing that billions of dollars are actually being lost?

@NateSilver538 Ultraviolet kills it line of sight. But the relevant kits to deal with it in HVAC are extremely backordered right now. Would be a great market to be in going forward imo.

@ScottPaterno In south Florida in the winter, first class boards an already half filled plane. I’m guessing that’s why. Disproportionately retired population with disproportionate ability to pay top dollar for care. Just my dumb opinion.

[JE @j_eng21]

@DebraDriza @Black_Hippy17 Agreed. Daily new tests in most states is highly inconsistent. I suspect it's labs doing them in batches and then attributing positives to the date of the sample and negatives to the date of the test. Should go away as the tests get better, faster, and more abundant.

[JE @j_eng21]

@DebraDriza @Black_Hippy17 Allow me (new cases per your link).
90 today.
89 yesterday.
95 Sun.
84 Sat.
94 Fri.

That's 5 days of a flat curve per the weaker metric of when the positive is reported compared to date of symptom onset. We aren't out of the woods -- but the measures in place are working.

[JE @j_eng21]

@Black_Hippy17 You thought all new cases were just going to stop overnight? You really, REALLY don't understand what "flattening the curve" means do you? The curve in Mississippi has now been flat for 9 days now according to new data released today.

[JE @j_eng21]

@Black_Hippy17 "Panic on flattening?" Um, flattening IS the goal -- and what Mississippi is currently accomplishing with social distancing and shut down measures already in place. You seem to know a lot about current social life for someone self-quarantined and locked indoors. Interesting.

[JE @j_eng21]

@Black_Hippy17 What we really need to do is apply New York “rules” to a bunch of small towns not seeing any explosions in Coronavirus cases. In fact, a place at least temporarily seeing a decline in hospitalizations with the measures already in place with no real strain on hospitals #genius

[JE @j_eng21]

@Black_Hippy17 "Cases not yet reported" is an issue worldwide that's not affecting MS any differently than elsewhere. Statistics do not currently support your viewpoint of out of control spreading necessitating lockdown here. The number currently hospitalized actually went down by 40 today.

[JE @j_eng21]

@Black_Hippy17 Why would that be proportionally different in mississippi vs anywhere else in the country/world? All I’ve seen is everyone following social distancing guidelines, being careful with their hands/face, and numbers seem to show it working.
