  1. And Benton was tackled on the fumble recovery, no call there either. Officials are the ones who didn't show up today.
  2. Not three minutes into the game and two horrible officiating calls. I don't know how they call that WR in bounds, and the PI call on Nelson was awful. Edit: make it three horrible calls.
  3. No Davis, no Prior, and UW has struggled in recent years to run against Northwestern. Going to be a tough game.
  4. You mean 144 hours after the election? The election was November 3rd, the data was released on November 9th. So, with millions of people's lives at stake they deliberately delayed releasing the data until after the election? And can you imagine the backlash if they deliberately delayed releasing the data until after the election and that was leaked to the public (much less the money it would cost them in lawsuits)? ummm k then... How ironc. Let's let others check facts: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/11/18/fact-check-pfizer-received-covid-vaccine-data-after-election-day/6267242002/ As a result, the soonest the independent monitoring committee could analyze the data from the 94 cases was on Nov. 8, after Biden had been declared president-elect. "The independent experts’ committee, independent from Pfizer, that unblinded the data and reviewed, they met at 11 and they finished their meeting at 1:30," Borula said. Bourla himself then learned of the results on at 2 p.m. Pfizer announced the news to the public the following morning.
  5. Making it even more curious why it was announced a couple days AFTER the election... They knew way before election day, yet waited? lol Everything is political, especially in an election year. Has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the amount of time and preparation required to have all of the logistics in place. I can assure you this is exactly what happens with all drug launches, pre/post-COVID/elections/etc., and is exactly what happened with the half-dozen or so drug launches that I have been a part of. Everything is planned well in advance, from when the Phase 3 data will likely be available to when they will likely be ready to submit to the FDA to when the FDA will likely review so that they are ready to flip the switch and start shipping within hours of FDA approval. No, they didn't know, they had to wait for the data to come in, but given the urgency and the number of lives that are at stake they had to be ready to hit the ground running as soon as the data was available. Had they not been ready when the data was available, they would have been roasted.
  6. With the news this morning that Pfizer has applied for emergency use authorization, it makes sense. They have said that they are going to vaccinate health care workers first, and they have been planning the logistics of distribution for months. This is common before drugs are approved. For the companies I have worked for, distribution is planned well in advance of FDA review and is ready to be sent to wholesalers prior to approval. I'm sure Pfizer has known for a while approximately when they would be ready to file, and had already prepared their distribution network.
  7. They did draft 2 of the top 10 centers in the league right now. And they picked both of them on day 3 of the draft.
  8. Half of the purpose of your salivary glands and digestive system is to kill bacteria and viruses. Generally, if you get sick from eating, it is something inside/on your food and not on your hands. Unless you were touching chemicals with your hands, washing your hands before eating isn't that big of a deal. That, and utensils.
  9. +2. I have a relative who is a nurse and who got transferred to the COVID floor two weeks ago. The other day she sent a text message to my sister that said basically the same thing. Please, for the sake of our healthcare workers, wear a mask and think twice about attending gatherings.
  10. I think the reason that they drafted three interior linemen in the 6th round this year is in preparation to move on from Linsley.
  11. There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be transmitted through food: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/organizations/community-based.html Congregating around food, yes. Touching certain parts of your face while eating food, maybe. Through the consumption of food, no.
  12. While he's a bit of a nut job, Schilling has some pretty impressive stats. Career bWAR is 26th all-time for pitchers, and has the best career K:BB ratio of any pitcher with at least 3000 K's. His 83 career complete games, including 15 in 1998, is pretty impressive for the post-1990 era. Take away the off-the-field stuff, and Schilling is a shoe-in for the hall.
  13. The issue isn't so much getting together, it is not isolating or testing before and afterwards. So long as everyone either self-quarantines for two weeks or gets tested a couple of days before and self-quarantines afterwards for two weeks or until they can get tested 4-5 days later, there isn't much risk. The problem is that the people who are getting together in larger groups generally aren't self-quarantining or testing before or afterwards and end up spreading well beyond the group. Also, consider the capacity of the local hospital(s) before making your decision. There may not be space available.
  14. I think this means Linsley and Preston Smith are gone. I think Kirksey is gone too. Turner, Wagner, and Lowry after next season. Maybe ZaDarius Smith too - great pass rusher, but terrible run defender, and probably not worth $20M. I think Amos is gone after next season too. Cap space won't be a problem in 2022. Lots of players will get cut this offseason as the cap will go down, and there won't be much room to sign them, just like in baseball. Mid-level FAs, if they want to play, will need to sign for closer to minimum. They will be able to replace guys like Kirksey/Turner/Wagner/Lowry for less than half of what they are paying them now.
  15. Besides Berger, a few other true freshmen saw their first game action. James Thompson saw a little time at DE but left with an injury; interesting that he got in the game instead of Rodas Johnson or Gio Paez, but I don't know if either is on the COVID list or injured. Jack Nelson also got in the game in their last possession at RT.
  16. That was a NFL throw and catch there.
  17. Yeah, they've let their foot off the gas the last few possessions. Time to run it down their throat.
  18. Berger looks quick. Impressive on the two passes and couple of runs so far, but he's had some big holes.
  19. "I think even the cardboard cutouts are booing."
  20. Seeing Penn State at 0-4 is a close second.
  21. They need multiple manufacturers because no one manufacturer will have the manufacturing capacity to meet global demand. They have all been collaborating and sharing data, so I will be surprised if there is a large delta in efficacy. If there is, they will likely share the formula and all manufacturers will make a similar one in order to meet demand. What will be interesting is how they are distributed, to ensure that the second dose that people get is the same product as the first.
  22. In pharmaceutical research, a larger study means more participants. A longer-term study is not a larger study; it means that participants are monitored over a longer period of time. Goodman said longer-term, not larger. Semantics. 44K is a very large study in pharmaceutical research. I've never heard of anything remotely close to that.
  23. Check out the thread from the last game of the "Wild Card" series: http://forum.brewerfan.net/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=39964 Several old timers who haven't been heard from in years showed up.
  24. Remember, advertising is the price you pay in order to get TV without subscribing.
  25. What % of hospitals have molecular biology research labs? Isn't most IVF done at private fertility clinics? I'm just wondering how many community hospitals have that capability... and how the vaccines are going to get there. Especially if they are going to divvy them up to health care workers and first responders first.
