I like it

One girl claims they sang the lyrics, the other claims the video was edited to amplify the last word (the N bomb). They don't really contradict each other.

If 1,000 are tested, I'll say around 20 come back positive....

Also helps that the "treatment" is improving. Don't ventilate (whoops), lie in prone position, get oxygen.

Was the statue removed because it's Teddy or because it depicts him towering over a shirtless Native American and black man?

You're not entirely wrong when you say it was about money. Nearly 1/2 of the South's wealth consisted of human capital.

Is China still only reporting cases with severe symptoms? Or all positive tests like the US?

Until they announce otherwise, everything is planned to go ahead as normal.

I don't mind them as a second OT, but completely scrapping the normal 5x5x5 OT bothers me a bit.

Only 247 new individuals tested, but yes, it seems the world is not going to end from Covid-19.

Although I'm sympathetic to the police having to deal with a lot of crazy, awful people lately, why should the police get to set a time limit on your first amendment right to protest?

I hope they aren't sacrificing a conviction to temporarily placate the mob.

I keep seeing references to the Boston Tea Party. What were the "rioters" protesting when they destroyed the tea? A tax on tea. What does Target have to do with police brutality? What did the Boston Tea Party ultimately lead to? War. Is that what the current protesters want?

Held offers from Army and Air Force.

Agreed. If he wanted to run over the protesters, there would be dead protesters. I don't know if he was unaware of what was ahead of him or if he just came to his senses late, but at least nobody was killed.

Obviously not well, but that doesn't make the goal wrong though. It makes sense that the people of Grand Forks like having a golf course in town that doesn't increase their property taxes for Parks and Rec. That and a couple of the men's golf team members having well-connected families spelled doom for the project. Ray Richard's family was ok with a sale and scholarship program until Traynor and a couple others got in their ears.

UND doesn't want to be responsible for the ongoing cost of more empty buildings in Grand Forks. The goal was to sell the land, cash up front.

If you're closed you're not paying staff and you have reduced operating and possibly insurance costs. It's possible these businesses believe staff and operating costs would exceed the revenue generated by being open. Having seen how (not) busy many Grand Forks bars/restaurants are in the summer with no students, I'd imagine they'd do even less business during Corona with no students, elderly, or Canadians. There's also the risk of a big old GFHerald tweet stating "Coronavirus Outbreak Traced Back to (insert restaurant name)." That would be tough to recover from.

Question for anyone in/connected to the medical and/or LTC field. ND has had 31 people over 80 die of/with Covid and just 18 people over 80 hospitalized with Covid. Why would those who are so sick with Covid that they're dying not be hospitalized? Is it just killing them before they can get to the hospital?

Similar to a lot (not all) of the people who are dying from/with Covid, the large corporations entering bankruptcy so far were in pretty rough shape without the pandemic. As for some governors stating they can't reopen until there's a vaccine...... that's not the bill of goods people were sold when this started. The curve was flattened and hospitals are not overwhelmed in most of the country at this time. Yes, hot spots will occur and targeted lockdowns will be necessary. I'm sure the media and opposing political party will cast all sorts of blame when it does happen, but just because a hot spot crops up doesn't mean it was a mistake to reopen. It's concerning to see the goal posts continually moved when people's freedom, livelihoods, and dreams are being destroyed. "This is for your own good/safety" is a phrase employed by tyrants throughout history.
