Not by me.

I think one of the main issues is an agency or university releases a model early on with limited data available and it predicts between 10,000 and 1 million deaths. The media then puts a big bold headline of "Pandemic predicted to kill 1 MILLION people!!!" It's usually not that the models are intentionally overstating, but due to unknowns the range was wide, and for the media no news sells as well as fear. Edit: It should also be noted the university/agency will typically have a LOT of notes and caveats on how the model works. All of that nuance is lost once the results are filtered through a "journalist" and it gets even worse once the editor and social media intern get ahold of it.

Was that weight room in the hyslop?

It's still on until they announce otherwise.

After 2 weeks without a day of over 4% of tests coming back positive in ND, the last 2 days have seen +6.5% positive testing rate. Hopefully it's not a trend. Looks like Cass County nursing homes are still struggling to keep the virus out. Of the 935 Cass County confirmed cases, 214 are long-term care facility employees and residents. Granted, part of that is due to who they are targeting for testing.

Was that the game they ran our goalie on the OT winner?

Political grandstanding by the tribal chairman aside, they probably do need to put more effort into prevention there due to some of the issues you point out (diabetes, HTN, etc.) and the substandard medical care available on the reservations.

It seems LIU's only mission here was to increase publicity (good or bad) for the university and enrollment. They're making a mockery of the sport.

I'm not real familiar with T bond trading. Are they not frequently traded on the open market? Would we be able to identify and nullify only the China-held bonds? Would we be able to prevent the sale of the China-held bonds to others around the world? Assuming this all takes planning, would we be able to act and lock down the market before China finds out and launches a fire-sale? Would other countries holding America's debt trust that we would not do the same to them in the future? The idea of punching a hole in China's bank account while making our balance sheet better sounds nice, but how feasible is it while maintaining our financial system?

I prefer not to live in one dumb extreme or the other.

This and other similar charts are behind the social media mask push. Snopes says the percentages are all made up. As for the CDC changing its mind to recommend masks, I'd say either they were recommending against them at first to preserve supply for medical professionals and they were always good, or they're recommending them now in a TSA-like move to simply make people feel safer. Tough to know what to believe in today's environment.

He admits he wrote inappropriate things. The "my account was hacked" defense would have placed the blame for those inappropriate messages on a hacker.

Let me know if this should be under 2019 recruiting @UND Fan

No he didn't. Did the writer even read the tweet?

CM blamed the caregiver, who I'm sure feels bad enough already. Good point on the nursing home, possible bad assumption on my part.

Agreed. And I'm surprised anyone who would consider blaming the $12/hour CNA for their elder getting sick didn't pull that elder out of the nursing home 2 months ago.

Something I hadn't considered before, but will this virus lead to a decline in the use of nursing homes and a return to family members taking care of their elders?
