That part seems the most concerning. Since the vast majority of people have mild to no symptoms, if true, the overwhelming majority of people will have little to no immunity going forward. Yay. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-25/catching-covid-19-may-not-shield-against-new-infection-who-says?utm_campaign=news&utm_medium=bd&utm_source=applenews Well, maybe there's no immunity after all.

My wife's hospital now has a surplus of tests and will be testing every person they admit. (They have had zero COVID patients admitted so far). Will be really interesting to see what kind of info they get from that.

Better Call Saul is GREAT tv, and I am inclined to agree with you, or at least say they are equal in quality... I have yet to start Ozark, but it is on my list. I must be the only person left in the USA who hasn't seen any Tiger King yet. Honestly, I have no intention of doing so. The overexposure in memes and media hype is enough for me to veto the idea of watching. Haven't seen Tiger King. No interest and don't have Netflix either.

Re: Immunity After Getting It https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/4/23/21219028/covid-19-immunity-testing-reinfection-antibodies-explained A long read but it seems like those who have recovered from it will probably have some sort of immunity. For how long and to what extent is unknown. That part seems the most concerning. Since the vast majority of people have mild to no symptoms, if true, the overwhelming majority of people will have little to no immunity going forward. Yay.

Playing devil's advocate for a second but do the teams even have the employees available right now that could handle this? -
I've read so many articles about this thing that I can't remember where but next time I see one I'll make sure to link it here. The last few days the articles I've read have been about how many different things the virus does and the symptoms it causes. So basically if you have any of fever, chills, headaches, a cough, digestive issues, fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, blurred vision, forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, numbness or tingling in limbs, loss of sense of smell or taste, or feel perfectly fine you could have COVID. [sarcasm]We've really got this thing nailed down.[/sarcasm] And my personal favorite, doctors are telling people that test positive who have mild or less symptoms to not go to the ER until they are having shortness of breath. However, new research is showing that once you've reached that point there's really nothing they can do and whether you recover or not is pretty much up to your body.

I'm not sure what good figuring out who has had it and who hasn't is. It only makes a difference if surviving it gives you future immunity but everything I've read is that it's not looking like that's going to be the case.

The Next Numbers To Be Retired...
jerichoholicninja replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yep, thanks. I think that the PED use and suspension keep him out of the HOF discussion for sure. However, I don't believe that this will keep him out of a number retirement or anything else the Brewers want to do to honor his playing days. They'd be foolish to. They are an organization that has a very poor history. It doesn't have many great players. Braun is one of them. I believe they'll realize that and he will be honored as such. I think the specter of retiring Yelich's number might keep the franchise from retiring Braun's. If Christian never comes here and we're 10-15 years from now and Braun was still the best and most iconic player the franchise had since Yount then 8 is probably going on the wall. Christian has taken the spotlight off of him and is now the face of the franchise for the foreseeable future so the Brewers can let Braun fade into the background after he retires. As for Ryan and the baseball Hall of Fame, the PED stuff is irrelevant because his numbers are no where near Hall of Fame worthy. There's a good chance he doesn't even reach 400 homeruns. -
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/us/california-deaths-earliest-in-us/index.html This has been here for much longer than people want to admit. By the time we knew about it, it was too late to do anything to contain it.

The Next Numbers To Be Retired...
jerichoholicninja replied to Harold Hutchison's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Brewers social media shared a graphic that showed Counsell will most likely reach the second most wins in team history whenever the next season is and become he franchise leader the year after that. He's had great seasons but that's pretty pathetic that he'll be that high up in such short order. -
On a related note, hearing that there are food shortages and going to the grocery store and seeing the produce department full, the fresh meat department full, and the frozen pizza section is almost empty. That's interesting because when my wife goes shopping now it's the exact opposite.

You are welcome, and please take care at this time. I hear about this stuff from my wife everyday. It has been brutally hard - and immensely frustrating for them. They have a million people telling them how to do stuff or saying they're doing this or that wrong - when they are hamstrung by the lack of testing capability. To be honest - that (the lack of testing) is the #1 issue right now with the pandemic. This is, unlike the seasonal flu or SARS or MERS or whatever, a virus that can be transmitted by people who don't show any symptoms. That's huge. For all these other viruses, if a person shows signs of being sick (cough, fever, etc.), you can quickly isolate them and limit the threat they pose. But not with COVID-19. That's why we need testing so badly. Healthcare systems desperately want to start doing all the 'normal' stuff they do -- surgeries, checkups, etc. But they have to be very careful. As I said in my previous post, healthcare locations are usually the #1 place where sicknesses like the flu get passed around. More testing is the only way to prevent that. Aurora is going to start doing elective procedures again soon. Maybe not all of the Aurora locations but my wife's will. They were told in a meeting last week. Her hospital has had zero COIVD patients and have had only a couple positive tests.

Missed this when you posted it originally but this is a really good idea. I think people are hung up on the terms. I was thinking the same thing last weekend when I was working in my yard and about half the houses in my neighborhood had lawn service companies thatching their lawns. There's lots of businesses that are "non-essential" that can easily be done without putting people at risk. I have a friend that owns a store. His business is totally unessential and he's the only employee. There's a closed sign in the door but he still goes there every day and has customers stop in to pick up orders and he delivers some to them. By the letter of the law, he probably shouldn't be doing what he's doing but it's certainly no different than a restaurant doing takeout/delivery.

Their governor is a moron. Plain and simple. Didn't do anything around social distancing, until April 2nd. Re-opened beaches which Tybee and Savannah had shut down weeks earlier during that same order. COVID has been in the news for months now. It's been made pretty clear how to avoid getting it and spreading it. People are going to do what people are going to do. Unless you want to put armed guards at everyone's door to make sure they never leave the house people are going to go outside and do stuff and probably congregate together.

There will be no spring sports this year. I don't know how anyone could think that there is a possibility that they might happen. We were told to plan a short conference schedule with the tournament series to follow. When schools were closed (however long ago that was) our AD emailed all the coaches about when we could potentially start back up and saying WIAA rules say you have to have 7 practices before your first competition. So even if school open May 1, that first week plus a day or two will be practice which basically gives you three weeks for a season. Track might be able to do it since the weather won't effect it quite as much but baseball and softball are totally weather dependent. May can give you some dry weather but a few rainy days and you've wiped out half of your already shortened season. Something is better than nothing but is a 4 or 5 game season really worth it? I supposed you could push the season a few weeks into June but there's been zero support for doing that in all my years of coaching. All that is irrelevant though since there's no way schools will be opening anymore this school year.

Are the engines in Thomas the Tank Engine autonomous? In the early shows they had drivers and there were references to the drivers putting on the brakes or making them go faster, etc. Now that they are CGI (which is horrible by the way), the humans are only there to wash them or fill them up with water and the engines seem to be able to do whatever they want.

Good fight. I can't ever recall training staff involved in an field brawl but it had that too. Watched some of the 1982 game against the Angels yesterday. Wow has the game changed. It was like watching a summer amateur adult league. Toothpick limbs, horrible pitching and swing mechanics, barely an athlete on the field. Even bottom barrel players today are miles better than pretty much everyone except the superstars from just a few decades ago.

Wasn't the flu that was going around at the time affecting the young and children at higher than usual rates? I seem to remember reading that, which goes totally against what COVID is doing. I'm sure COVID has been here a lot longer than has been assumed though. Considering all the people going back and forth to China I would guess it was here within weeks of it appearing in Wuhan.

Watched the Schitt's Creek finale last night. Went into it fully expecting to be filled with sadness and emotions. What an underwhelming series finale that was. Not bad, just meh. Outside of Moira's outfit, nothing memorable.

I have not ventured off my property in weeks but from what I've gathered on Facebook, pretty much everything in my area that should be closed is closed. That being said, I seen the very relevant question been brought up many times, "How much is Walmart paying government officials to close every store in town while they can remain open?" Apparently the parking lot is overflowing daily. Yes, they have essential things like groceries but that is only a small part of the store so they can continue selling things that the now closed non-essential stores were selling. I know there's no perfect solution here but Walmart is getting a huge boost from the government eliminating a lot of their competition.

Barring a miracle, whatever baseball happens in 2020 is going to be a truncated, weird season. If they can get things going let's just get crazy and try some things. Play a regular season of whatever length, have playoffs, do a "World Series" but say that the whole 2020 season doesn't count for official stats or historical purposes. Go with the universal DH, maybe a designated fielder with a second DH hitting. Bluetooth headsets for everyone to get rid of signs. Electronic strikezone. Unlimited roster size but maybe limit the number of pitchers. Why not? Unless they can somehow pull off 162 games or even like 140-ish, there's just going to be all kinds of weird things, might as well get really weird then.

What a great time to have nice spring weather for the first time in forever. People are going to start spending more time outside and eventually congregating together in parks and backyards no matter what the "rules" are. Are police going to start breaking up these gatherings? You've got people that hate the government in general and especially now because of locking everything down and people that hate the police. I foresee lots of bad situations unfolding.

I can't blame boomers for not taking this seriously. They've lived through: - polio - end of a World War - Vietnam War - race riots - Cuban missile crisis - MAD and the Cold War - Korean War - Chernobyl - Desert Storm - 9/11 - Japan nuclear tsunami - SARS, swine flu, bird flu, monkeypox - global cooling, acid rain, hole in ozone layer, global warming, climate change - multiple recessions They have disaster fatigue and just don't care anymore.
