Absolutely

Our containment measures here started when? We are 8 weeks into this....41 CDC reported deaths. They death total will inevitably go up but some here make it sound like dead bodies will be falling from the sky soon. As far as panic........some civil unrest took place at a Costco in NY and a Sam's Club in GA yesterday. Someone was stabbed at the Sam's Club.........over bottled water. Bottled water!

Where's Sherm Sylling when you need him?

So stay curled up in the fetal position in your basement if you need to...and our "medical" expertise on this issue compared to Dr. Carlson is that you beat your wife in a game of "Operation" last night? Clarify...is that great medium article and its statistical hypotheticals "facts", "truths" or both? Outliers statically are just that outliers. Doesn't mean it didn't happen but it's like Sesamee Street.......one of these things in not like the others. Let's do this, even though I'm wrong as is Dr. Carlson......let's take his worst suspected transmission rate across the board at 7%. Then I'll play the game of "this is 10x deadlier than the flu". So 1% mortality of all the 7% that get infected and we know that number is not close to that high and still dropping. Here's what you get potentially from this outbreak: 330M in US population 23.1M infected 231K deaths The CDC just posted these numbers for this flu season thru March 7 and I picked their low end range to soften the blow... 36M infected 22K deaths We can argue about the mortality rate of corona but numbers appear most likely to be around 1/2% in the end if not lower but still higher than the flu. More severe than the flu....but less contagious as was in my original post from Dr. Carlson. As of yesterday 4 pm the CDC reported 41 deaths from the corona outbreak in this country with a first reported case almost 8 weeks ago. An average seasonal flu season is 13-15 weeks. What if....just what if Dr. Carlson is remotely close to what he thinks of the virus from a contagious standpoint and it comes to fruition? This country will have been ravaged from a normalcy standpoint and our society flipped upside down because basically we are in the midst of a 2nd bad "flu" season. Let that sink in.

Dr. Carlson is a Sanford and NDSU infectious disease doctor. The last sentence is interesting considering this virus was labeled one of "rapid spread" and "highly contagious". The 1-2% transmission rate for non-household cases is telling too. Means it's quite safe to leave your basement.

Over/under CFB start on time?

Code for cancelled

Remainder of all ND HS activities for school year suspended.

Rachel Maddow last night discussing the virus....."Trust the science". In her next segment...…"I have 17 gender identities".

73.5M kids under the age of 18 in this country. Let's cancel everything for them to be a part of for the next few months. Least there will more TikTok video to watch........but still can't go visit Grandma.

MN GBB tournaments started and played yesterday.....just cancelled the rest of the tournaments. Unbelievable. WTF changed in 24 hours in MN? When does the shoe drop that ALL HS activities in this country thru the rest of the school year get cancelled?

Just got word one of my good friends from HS just passed from ALS after midnight. Perspective...

Good news......I didn't have to drive over any dead bodies on the streets on my way to work.

Crosslake MN to go forward with St Paddy's Day parade........read the last half of the quote.

Top 5 team to ever wear a UND jersey

The reality is we are headed for some concerning economic times......I won't blame a player for looking to get what they can get dollars wise in this current environment. Who would have thought everything gets flipped upside down in a week.

Keep an eye on Tychonick as well.

They were robbed of a better fate.

They are.......I head out in the mornings to give even jackwagons like you the care they deserve.

Projections? Goodness........

Just stay at home and draw up plays for Danny.......

It's not 3%. Based on recent literature. Slightly over a 1%...and dropping.

The train is completely off the rails.......just have to wait for the crash to bring all of this nonsense to a stop. No "if" there......it's a given. #rightmove

Spring too? Good grief are some drunk on the Kool-Aid. So are all HS athletes going to get robbed of the rest of their seasons as well this school year? This is f-n insane. When do any of us get our lives back? Seriously.
