Not to be overly dramatic, but losing Senden would be very tough. No one else on the roster plays like he does.
Hope it’s a stinger or bruise and not cartilage. Before Senden I was thinking we can’t afford another

1987 - Hrkac Circus and 'sconnie. We're down in the student section with a couple of bottles. Putting people on our shoulders and having them pull on the glass just to see it wobble. Security comes down and tells us to stop. Finally says "I have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it!". A few guys go "ewwwwwwwwwwwww" and the section erupts in laughter!
Nice.
If anyone here was in the band at the March 28, 1987championship at Joe Louis he might remember two big guys entered the arena via the tunnel section in front of the band. One turned around and got the band’s attention, pulled off his jacket and pointed at the back of his green jersey imprinted with large “Michigan State” letters. The band boo’d and wonked the trombones. That whole side of the arena turned to see the commotion. Then the other guy made a show of pulling off his jacket and emblazoned on the back of his jersey was the word “sucks”, the band stood and cheered. The front of the jerseys were reversed.
My brother and had I spent half the day before finding generic green jerseys and iron on letters.
Ended 5-3 and a victory pile in front of the net.

A sad look-at-me move by no-wokes who disrespected the sacrifice of 100,000’s who died under the Stars and Stripes ending slavery.
But it’s flavor of the month for attention grabbers. Hopefully sponsors show a little restraint. The program is bigger than any players.

Yellen Ending Trump Dollar Tumult Promises Cheers in Markets
Yellen Ending Trump Dollar Tumult Promises Cheers in Markets (msn.com)Oh, you are talking about today, not the massive rally since the relief there wasn’t a sweep and the announcement of a vaccine. The market likes Yellen because she isn’t named Warren.

Lol, Hayd has a second account.
After giving you the benefit of the doubt regarding intelligence it’s clear you are either a classic flamer or a very dull tack.
Even my economically liberal friends with 401Ks are relieved republicans held the senate. The senate preventing Death by Corp Taxes and the “Trump” vaccine, as the left regrets labeling, are 100% the reason for market optimism.
To their credit these friends are self aware and admit this to themselves, meanwhile you’ve proven disappointingly ignorable.

I understand the politics behind the right-wing's push to use current social unrest to position themselves as the 'law and order' party; espousing that crime and violence will prevail if liberals take office.
But you do realize 8 of the top 10 most dangerous states (murder and violent crime rate) are staunch conservative ones. Right?
Spending about the same amount of time researching as you did, and having personal experience in several of those states; I’d guess 80-90% of the referred-to violent criminals in those areas vote Democrat or have never voted.

Both 401s and IRAs are deferred, but in 2019 congress passed legislation to collect significantly more taxes from your inherited IRA by eliminating the stretch-rule.
So this is something that Trump signed into law and was approved by a Republican led house then correct?
Crazy how both sides come off as a dumpster fire.
Yes.
To be fair, iirc it was attached to the emergency budget bill the house sent to the senate to keep the government funded through December . The senate refused to pass the original Secure Act as written but when it was attached to the emergency budget it passed and was signed.
To your point, the original opposition wasn’t to these specific aspects, but rather to the Senate asking for 529 money to be applicable to home schooling, which the house opposed, supposedly under pressure from the teacher lobby.

Tax your inheritance? I doubt you have anywhere near the amount worth taxing coming to you.
Tax your 401k? Do you mean IRA? 401k is tax-deferred.
Sweet post bro.
Biden’s plan is to eliminate step-up basis on inheritance.
It will effect everyone with non-qualified stock. Dad buys 1000 shares of Tesla in 2012, he dies, you pay taxes on over $1,000,000. With his proposal of treating capital gains as income, for some people you could be paying $380,000 federal taxes plus 3-7% state taxes on. At this point it’s unclear whether the death or the sale would be the tax trigger event.
Same applies to your huge gain on Nvidia, Apple etc.
Both 401s and IRAs are deferred, but in 2019 congress passed legislation to collect significantly more taxes from your inherited IRA by eliminating the stretch-rule.
Prior, your dad dies, leaves 500k in the Ira. You are 45 so you get to stretch RMD taxable withdrawals over your lifetime based on your age, saving a ton in taxes. Now we must liquidate the IRA (which is often the product of the decedent’s 401k) and pay all the taxes in 10 years.

More evidence that herd immunity is the answer....and Fauci basically admits it. The ironic thing is that those that have done best with Covid....are those with an immune system that has grown strong by fighting off similar viruses. With all of this social distancing/quarantining going on people don't have the chance to catch the more minor viruses......that would help strengthen their immune system.....and have them ready to fight off more severe viruses when they pop up.
https://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/coronavirus/article244852012.html
The article explains boosted immune response to the new c-19 due to a lifetime of exposures to common corona viruses (229E etc)
I assume that’s your point since it’s a form of herd immunity. In the current situation, herd immunity is generally used in terms of exposure to only c-19

Name an assumption.
You realize how easy it is to send in the ballot of every family member in your household, your old mom’s house, your grandparents in the nursing home, and any family member who doesn’t care? I could literally vote three times in this election.
Roughly knowing a family member’s signature is easy, and if it wasn’t I guarantee the election board isn’t going to toss it unless it’s an X.
That being said, it’s all about which base is most motivated to “get out the vote”

I see Birx and Fauci are now suggesting goggles and/or face shields. No I am not joking.
Let’s be fair. In the broader context, he answered a question truthfully. He didn’t bring it up.
When asked if we could get to the point they would be recommended.
"It might, if you really want perfect protection of the mucosal surfaces."
"You have mucosa in the nose, mucosa in the mouth, but you also have mucosa in the eye," he continued. "Theoretically, you should protect all the mucosal surfaces.”
He noted that goggles and eye or face shields are "not universally recommended".. "but if you really want to be complete, you should probably use it if you can."

Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican who has frequently refused to wear a mask, has tested positive for coronavirus.
"I can't help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place, that if I might have put some germs or some of the virus onto the mask and breathed it in," Gohmert said. He added that he has been wearing a mask more during the past two weeks than he has in the past three or four months.
"I can't help but think that if I hadn't been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I would have gotten it," Gohmert added. "You know, moving the mask around, getting it just right, we're bound to put some virus on the mask that I sucked in.
“Doc, I catch Covid when I shake hands then fiddle with my mask”

Trump is bats#$t crazy. He retweeted a bats#$t crazy idea from a group that includes a "doctor" with a supposed cure for Covid-19. You guessed it, hydroxychloroquin. Or something like that.
One of the proponents is Dr. Stella Immanuel. Here is more on her:
"Immanuel is also a minister, with sermons posted to YouTube. The description of one upload reads, “How long are we going to allow the gay agenda, secular humanism, Illuminati and the demonic New World Order to destroy our homes, families and the social fiber of America.” Immanuel has also claimed that some medical issues are caused by dream sex with demons and that alien DNA is currently being used in some medical treatments."
I'm pretty sure the cultists will find some way to try to justify this. They are such crazy loyalists

I think the disconnect comes from the fact that if you accept the premise that the masks are not to protect you but to protect everyone else from your respiratory droplets, etc then letting people decide for themselves undermines the whole idea. And I understand that you may not accept that premise and there has been lots of contradictory information presented regarding the efficacy of masks and why they should or shouldn't be used. I'm just saying I think that's the reason maskers are so upset with anti-maskers and vice-versa (for lack of better terms). There's just a fundamental disconnect.
Good way of putting it.

As the media has switched the narrative from number of deaths to number of positive cases they count on very few people asking why.
I realize that number of deaths lag from the number of cases but you will never see it noted that the death rate over the last month seems to have shrunk by about 300% from .05 to .017.
If you look at the numbers based on positive cases and number of deaths from the start up until a month ago about 50,000 more deaths would have been expected between June 22 and today if the rate had held.
True,
I guess it matters what media someone uses. I see that pointed out repeatedly.It’s easy to see that the increased testing is on healthier people, therefore lower death rate. We know with therapeutics we are losing a lower % of the at-risk.
But there two sets of stats, the at-risk, and everyone else. Despite better therapeutics a relatively large % of “at-risk” get sick as hell, so they aren’t eating out or going to sporting events, and we shouldn’t reasonably expect differently.
For the most part, at-risk folks are retirees with money and time, and the economy be broken without them. It is what it is and it won’t change until a vaccine.

A couple ways, if the person reporting on it has a specific way of viewing it.
First way would be by reporting absolute numbers, which is what most papers are doing. 100 tests were done, we found one positive. Media reports we found one positive. 1000 tests were done we found 10 positives. Media reports we have 10x as many positive cases now than we did before. Percentage wise, it’s the same.
If, as has been suggested, we are testing people multiple times and they come back positive multiple times and each time they are counted as positive. Then that’s obvious how that inflates the data.
Hospitalizations and deaths are really the only stat I care to see and even deaths are under major scrutiny in my book as they’ve admitted to not distinguishing between people who died with or people who died because of covid.
From a decision making standpoint looking backward at deaths doesn’t really effect the math used for decision making. What matters is how many new positives we are getting today vs yesterday.
I see your point with flaws in counting a positive twice inflates overall infections. But when this happens, pick any % of double dipping, the rate of transmission still doesn’t change appreciably as long as the error rate stays roughly the same. Modeling with large numbers will count those errors as noise, which it probably is in larger states. (Theoretically, a moderate non recurring double dip in a low population state could skew Rt for a few days but would push it the opposite direction a few days later)
Not perfection but they are getting pretty good at considering what is important to interpret and how to do the math.
Where we could/will see the “number of tests” skewing Rt data is if we start asking very large groups of asymptomatic people to test in a short period. Such as several universities testing entire student bodies in September.
