The 42 player MLB & NFL Combo Draft : GOSSIP

[Nosferatu]

So here's what I've heard from Medical Professionals about the Virus. I tend to put a bit more weight into what they say versus the average pundit/media.

lolzzz you quoted something I took from the CDC website, you trust these "medical professionals" more than the CDC?


SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, continues to spread into communities worldwide. Many are worried, as officials and medical experts urge people to take precautions to contain the virus. Dr. Gregory Poland, a Mayo Clinic infectious diseases and vaccine specialist, says that the threat of the coronavirus is real, but the seasonal flu still remains a bigger issue for most people.

"Right now, seasonal flu is causing many more deaths than COVID-19, and the tragedy is that many people die because they consider it 'just the flu,'" says Dr. Poland.

The numbers are constantly changing, but as of now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more 34 million people have been sickened by the flu, from 350,000 to 620,000 people have been hospitalized, and from 20,000 to 52,000 people have died from it.

Plus all you're looking at are cases in the United States. This is a world wide pandemic. Italy just confirmed they had over 350 deaths in the last 24 hours from the Virus. We're all humans and have the same abilities to catch, spread and potentially die from the disease.

Italy is a country with a very high elderly population and a lot of those deaths happened in one area. The highlighted text is simply untrue, we do not all have the same chance at dying from this.

Overall, the medical field isn't prepared and does not have the adequate resources to deal with any sort of high rate viral infection on a mass scale.

According to an estimate by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were approximately 45 million cases of the flu in the United States during the 2017-2018 influenza season, resulting in an estimated 810,000 flu-associated hospitalizations and an estimated 61,000 flu-associated deaths.

Do you remember going through this? Do you remember the panic?

The CDC reports that "between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year."


Where is the hysteria?


In the 2016-17 season, there were an estimated 29 million flu cases in the United States; and estimated 497,000 flu-related hospitalizations and 38,000 flu-related deaths. (For comparison, 36,560 people died in car accidents in 2018 in the United States.)


We better stop driving!


Look, I get that people are scared and that's fine but we are nowhere near numbers yet that should make the economy shut down, did we shut down the country in 2009 when H1N1 killed more than 12,000 Americans and as many as 500,000 people worldwide? We aren't even at 8,000 worldwide yet and barely more than 100 in America yet they are shutting shit down, the media in this country is an absolute fucking joke!

I get the panic is ridiculous but the goal is to be done with this asap. China is basically fine now bc they did this early. If they did one 2-week “lockdown” this would be cleaned up pretty quick. Going about our lives like normal would just spread this more and that is something we dont need whether this is deadly or not. It’s just overblown bc people are acting crazy but buying stuff to prepare for a type of lockdown is smart. Most people just act like idiots

Okay, why don't we do this every year then?

Ok bro. You’re obviously much smarter than me. I’ll stop having my own thoughts and opinions.

 

[Nosferatu]

Ok bro. You’re obviously much smarter than me. I’ll stop having my own thoughts and opinions.

So, it's okay for you to post whatever you want and be insulting in doing so but I can't post anything? Also, where did I say you should stop having an opinion?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Okay, why don't we do this every year then?

As Sushi clearly explained the additional threat covid adds to the medical infrastructure is that if it spread through our communities unchecked it would overwhelm our infrastructure. Because it requires much more hospitalizations than the regular flu and is more contagious.

Just look what happened in that Washington nursing home. That would be the case in many more nursing homes

That isn't the regular flu man

 

[CitySushi]

So, it's okay for you to post whatever you want and be insulting in doing so but I can't post anything? Also, where did I say you should stop having an opinion?

How was mine insulting at all. I didn’t say anything to you or about your view. The only thing I ever mentioned to you previously in private was that I was hoping you were preparing just because I wanted you to be safe and even then you mocked me.

If I insulted you in anyway I apologize. I have always respected your opinion and you especially since we differ. At no point have I ever said you were wrong. I just laid out my own thinking. My only reasoning for even countering anything you said was just hoping that you’d be safe. That’s it.

It’s become apparent from your posts and texts to me that you don’t think much of my opinion or my intelligence.

That was the first line in direct response to what I posted.

Please show me evidence of this?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Alright I'm gonna leave the covid talk to the PF

 

[Nosferatu]

That isn't the regular flu man

That's right man, the regular flu kills more people.

You got it Nos

Fauci has clearly lost his mind as has just about every major nation

So, when someone doesn't agree with you, you are done, but when people post what you wanna hear they get a "well put". lolzzz

That average media/pundit remark wasn’t about you. It was referring back to your initial post about democrats leading the charge for hysteria.

I’ve agreed that the hysteria is unwarranted at this level.

Again nothing I have said is about you or your opinion. I was talking about what my through the process was and you’ve basically said it’s a joke.

If there was anything you took offense to as a personal attack again I apologize. That was not the intent. It was just posts to hopefully not make you look completely past all the hysteria just in case.

Your posts calling my line of thinking a joke, using extreme examples, and our private conversation when I said I just hope you’re safe and you said you’re not out licking door handles.

Seriously, I meant no offense at anything I’ve said to you. It all came from a good place with good intentions.

 

[Nosferatu]

Yeah, he's the only doctor who's "opinion" matters.

I guess we'll find out won't we.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Yeah, he's the only doctor who's "opinion" matters.

I guess we'll find out won't we.

And as Sushi said If we contain the virus some people will proclaim it was all hysteria when we don't have a single example of a country doing nothing.

I agree the panic on this level is excessive....im pretty sure everyone agrees there but doing nothing would be much worse than overreacting

With that I'm gonna leave this alone. I apologize to the other folks in this mock board for discussing it here. We all need a break from this from time to time.

Any thoughts on the Diggs trade to the Bills? I'm pretty happy about it.

You guys killed it for a guy who didn't want to be there

Funny you all got that and the Texans got an injured RB?

Yeah, agreed let's just hope we don't fuck up the pick, 22 I think. We have 22 and 25 now, i'm thinking OL and CB.

Can you come up with a good reason for the Texans to make that deal, literally one of the worst trades i've ever seen.
