Keep on trolling dude. It is definitely moving towards being over. Actually, the scary part is over, the virus is contained. Then we'll get a vaccine and you can find something else to try to get us to panic about.

These 24 States Have Uncontrolled Coronavirus Outbreaks, Study Says

comparing the last handful of reg. season games after being off a few months in a worldwide pandemic and a 3-1 deficit in the Finals?

What were the odds of the Cavs winning the title after being down 3-1 in the Finals?

And what are the odds of the Blazers making the playoffs this year?

You want to talk numbers? It's really that simple.

Just shows how unimportant what the Cavs did really was.

You see a lot of LOLs here when it's doubtful the person writing it even got a chuckle.

I can promise I laughed out loud at that. though I didn't ROTF (bad for the back).

Again I've been a total nerd about the thing so I already knew this was pretty much .5 percent. That's still five times more fatal than the flu.

The prison in Marion that had their outbreak their fatality rate was .65 percent. The other two were like 2-3 percent but those were basically nursing home prisons.

So yes I welcome this becoming standard info everyone should base their decisions on but it is still also a very serious deal because of how contagious it is

I'm sure it's more fatal than the flu (and not as bad as many make it out to be).

I am fairly certain before Covid, though, if the media could freak people out for seasonal flu deaths if they wanted.

the "official" confirmed amount of cases in the US is about 1.6 million. There are 340 million people (about) in the US.

Lets say that the real amount of people that have gotten it is 10 times the "official" amount that would mean that less than 5% of the country has had it ----- for shits and giggles lets assume that there are even FIFTY times the official amount for each "official confirmed" case.

even if there has only been 1 "confirmed" test for every 50 people that have had the disease- that still over 75% of people still have not had it (and 50 is a HUGE number- obviousy)

a long long long way away from this being any where close to over.

as someone said on the radio the other day- quoting Churchill

This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end, but this may be the end of the beginning.

Then I guess stay home if you like and ignore the sports when they come back before a long, long, long time?

People have to get under control though. Looting your city isn’t going to accomplish anything positive. As long as this plays out, people are putting police in a terrible position and only inviting more tragedy.

Protest peacefully, make your voice heard and apply pressure for the city to do the right thing. But stop the looting.

Dude, they know all this.

Some people are just using this as a excuse for bad behavior.

Look at some of the latest movements like Black Lives Matter/All lives matter.

Both, initially , started out with good intentions of peaceful protests.

Sadly, they allowed The gang, criminal, racist elements to infiltrate and infect their ranks

The problem comes from not being able to distinguish between the 2 factions of activist and criminals .

So, until those groups choose to purge the trash, they all get labeled the same.

If I was at a protest and people started beating the shit out of others, robbing, stealing and burning shit down.....

I'm not joining in...

I'm not cheering them on....

If you stand by and do nothing, you are just as bad.

That's my stance with the cops that watched him kill that man and that's my stance on the pieces of shit that are burning cities in the name of "justice ".

Okay I'll admit my texting lingo is terrible. What the hell does ROTF mean? You know there's gonna be an entire generation that won't know how to spell properly because of the social media stuff? Thanks Obama!

comparing the 2 is what is simple (minded).

I just saw on ESPN that the players need to play a minimum of 7 more regular season games to get their 51% of BRI.

So, I expect to see some games before the playoffs.

Guessing obvious, but too lazy to look. What is BRI?

Rolling on the floor laughing

Then shouldn't it be ROTFL? Did you know I have a working rotarty phone in my house? And get off my lawn!

It's not about winning or losing.

You said the virus was contained, I'm not sure that's correct.

You take these articles with a grain of salt when the info has not been verified.

But, if it is correct, that's almost half the States in the US.

what's funny is other than that post I rarely use the LOL or ROTF terms.
