  1. He hinted at 1/2 occupancy. Made a point to call out not fully stocking the freezer expecting a full weekend. We will see how it goes. Give people options.
  2. Not sure there are 5 teams that have had better O lines in football the last couple years much less 20. Kind of important for a QB with a history of injury.
  3. “The anger came from employees who’d determined they’d make more moneyby collecting unemployment benefits than their normal paychecks.” Quote is from the article above. She won’t be the first to feel this pain. Not sure what motivation we have provided for people to actually go back to work.
  4. That interview was awful. Fully agree with the mayor that at some point, people need to be allowed to make their own decision I don’t have to go to Vegas if it suddenly a casino suddenly turns on their slot machines again Based on economic info a fair chunk of the population doesn’t have money to go their anyhow My opinion is even after things open up it is going to be extremely challenging getting people who lost their jobs to actually go back to work and not for fear of getting sick.
  5. Guessing school happens next year and it should. The last four weeks should be enough time but take the summer and figure out the layout for next year. I would send my kids back this year if they reopen. I also feel that if a person is going to criticize things being closed, start at home. I can provide some normalcy for my kids if I choose. That risk is on me and other parents.
  6. I still believe if a person feels confident enough to have their kids going back to school, why not have all their friends over.
  7. I should have said some people back to work. I feel it’s easier to look at reopening parts of our old normal life that don’t require large gatherings. Right or wrong- it is easier to limit the crowd/arrangement at Men’s Hairhouse than it is attendance at a Red River dance recital. I don’t see school opening back up in 2020 as a governor or mayor isn’t taking that risk with a month to go My kids have not been to a shopping establishment since probably late March. Mainly because We have changed our shopping habits. Hornbachers and Target pick up for us. I don’t know that I will go back to going inside mainly because I have adjusted to the convenience and the planning. Can’t guarantee the wife doesn’t go back to Target I did take them to Mehl’s to pick up a cup cakes for their moms birthday. We were the only ones there Admittedly my kids have been playing with the neighbors. Kids are the same age and the neighbors and us are onboard with them playing outside. Not saying they always are 6’ apart but they do pretty good for being younger. They can be pretty creative at making up games when they want to be.
  8. They are not “OK” with it but if I had to choose between all or nothing knowing “all” isn’t going to happen I am going to sign up for not having soccer tournaments in Blaine and dance competitions at Fargo North to allow people to get back to work. Also, what is stopping you from having your daughters friends over or allowing your daughters to go to their houses? You can allow them to return to some normalcy yourself without someone giving you the green light. Supply some of the hope yourself.
  9. I can deal with my children having events cancelled or missing friends. We can get past that. My worry is their future when we have to do hundreds of billions dollar bailouts every month because of our current shutdown.
  10. I was always under the understanding the same amount of people were going to sick, flattening the curve was only spreading that out. Slowing the spread, not stopping it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/coronavirus-flatten-the-curve.html I think he question now is can we practice some of the social distancing in our daily lives. Can we at work? Can we at school (likely closed for the year)? Can we at eating establishments? How about state and local parks? Large gatherings can still remain closed, some things out there can reopen. Let’s take a look at how we are doing things.
  11. There wasn’t one politician from either party recommending we stay home in Feb. I’m certain the talking heads from both parties were business as usual. If a person is basing personal choices off of press conferences they were likely let down by both parties
  12. Great news. Getting excited for next year.
  13. We can agree to disagree. It’s all good. I think he’s a better player than what he showed last year. I’d argue we didnt have a single corner last year that was consistently impressive all season. They all had their moments. I’m no DC but we out our CBs on an island a lot. When you don’t get home, you are getting beat. I appreciate what he did in his time here. Stepped in and played decent as a TFr when he wasn’t ready. It was a huge improvement over the CB play of 5 years ago.
  14. Can’t believe the virus has caused people to suddenly start beating their spouses, abuse drugs and commit suicide.
  15. Asking a lot out of a young kid playing man coverage all the time in our defense. He’s tackled pretty well since he’s been a Tfr and has made some plays in his time here. We were getting to a good spot with CB depth.
  16. Dang. He is a really solid CB. Wishful thinking he decides to stay but wish him well. He brings a lot of toughness to that position.
  17. What’s stopping them from going now?
  18. Very unfortunate. I’m assuming they didn’t have other issues going on prior to the crisis and decided to take their lives because of this. Lots going on right now for a lot of people.
  19. No. Prices of diabetes supplies have exploded in 2015. I can speak to that one first hand. I’m not sure about any other conditions but can’t imagine they are much different. Has nothing to do with choice.
  20. Graph flips if you go by percentage of population.
  21. All depends on how close this gets to the election. Don’t need any more regulations on construction equipment.
  22. I think you hold the coach more accountable than the kid in that situation.
  23. North Dakota #s are a bit misleading. I know of a couple instances where spouses went in together and they will only test 1 and make assumption on other based on the test. 1 has come back negative and the others have been waiting 10 days for results.
  24. I don't disagree but welcome to the lawsuit happy world of today. It will play a part of the decisions made going forward.
