    Called that.
  2. PeaveyFury
    Great defense there!!
  3. PeaveyFury
    I went back to look and didn’t see anything in particular... which play?
  4. PeaveyFury
    What a horrendous series. Not only no first downs, but almost zero time used.
  5. PeaveyFury
    That’s a great tackle by Scott. Holding them to a FG there is gigantic.
  6. PeaveyFury
    Very illustrative of the effects of injuries on the rest of the roster. A guy gets activated earlier in the week and thrown into punt protection, then botched it.
  7. PeaveyFury
    I suppose we were due for a devastating special teams play to let a team back into the game.

    McCarthy does seem destined to be the next head coach at the University of Pittsburgh.
  9. PeaveyFury
    They gave away the best WR in football for a washed up RB and that's just the easily visible mismanagement. And that’s only one of his two franchise-destroying trades.
  10. PeaveyFury
    Yeah. That’s not great.

    Finished season 3 of my Sopranos re-watch this week. I had forgotten 1) how great the show was, 2) how great James Gandolfini’s performance was, and 3) that it was one of those shows where you’re kind of supposed to hate all of the main characters. Thoroughly looking forward to the prequel movie in a few months. Also dove back into the Crown to work through season 3 prior to season 4 coming out next month. This is one of our rare co-watch shows in my household, and I’m happy that season 3 with the new cast was far better than the dull 2nd season. Loved season 1, hated season 2, and back to enjoying season 3 halfway through.

    Yikes. Glad to hear you're doing ok, and sorry to hear about your grandfather.
  13. PeaveyFury
    My assistant tested positive yesterday, so that's great.
  14. PeaveyFury
    I certainly may have missed this, but did he actually say this on the record?
  15. PeaveyFury
    This is not true. My actual response. My full sentence, including after where you cut it off: Your response was basically to the effect of 'things were really bad back in March/April, so of course the concern is less', with supporting points regarding hospital capacity, PPE, etc., that are starting to become issues again. Didn't state or imply that. And yet: You can dismiss the notion if you choose, but it seems that you've spent the better part of the last two pages of this thread diminishing the current situation and downplaying the seriousness of the trend right now. Perhaps it is indeed less concerning to you, but to imply that 'most' people share that view is, again, patently false. As that is apparently where we'll disagree, I can agree to the 'no need to discuss it further' notion that you've suggested twice now. Regardless, I do appreciate the discussion.
  16. PeaveyFury
    I think where the continued disconnect is comes from the fact that the initial question that was posed to someone else was 'is there a diminished concern about the severity of the situation?' Your response was basically to the effect of 'things were really bad back in March/April, so of course the concern is less', with supporting points regarding hospital capacity, PPE, etc., that are starting to become issues again. Perhaps there is less concern in your geographic area right now, but there certainly isn't here. Yes, at this moment in time, the situation is still better than it was in March/April. But it takes very little time in looking at the current data to speculate that the situation COULD reach those levels in the next month or two. Will it? Who knows. Probably a fair course of action on both of our parts to save the rest of the board.
  17. PeaveyFury
    Didn't state or imply that. If you're reading that much into what I wrote, that's on you. Curious what point you're actually trying to make here, then: Many of the items you cite to paint a picture of the 'bleakness' of the situation back in March/April are starting to happen again. In view of that, what, in particular, is the point you're trying to make? Just for clarity sake.
  18. PeaveyFury
    Then why the posts pointing out the death rates etc. and noting the overwhelming of the system/PPE shortages back in March, while seemingly dismissing the trend that is LITERALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? PPE shortages are happening in Wisconsin. Hospitals have reached capacity. The virus hasn't run its course. Implying that what happened back in March/April can't happen again is patently false, and dismissive of the plight of actual front-line healthcare workers. They're scared and overwhelmed, and the signs point to it only getting worse. But, feel free to dismiss that if you wish.
  19. PeaveyFury
    Perhaps they (and I) don't share the confidence that you seem to have that those situations that you note from earlier in the year are actually behind us. I think it's odd to assume that with the current trajectory of cases that an overwhelming of the healthcare system similar to NYC in March is impossible to occur again, possibly in areas of the country where the facility capacity and healthcare workers available to help relieve the strain are much lower.
  20. PeaveyFury
    I suppose I am too. This exchange started with a question regarding the current feeling/climate among medical professionals, which was a bit leading considering I know how the medical professionals friends/family of my own feel right now. They're just as concerned about the current situation as they were back in March/April, even perhaps more so considering back then most people actually cared and tried to help. As the populace willing to help continues to dwindle seemingly week by week, I think things look quite bleak in the healthcare industry right now. As you note, perhaps that perspective is different in Wisconsin now. But numbers are spiking in many states and countries, and the situation is still very much ongoing.
  21. PeaveyFury
    WI Hospitalizations, to further illustrate the current situation:
  22. PeaveyFury
    Except, as previously noted, that's simply factually incorrect. Australia, Japan, New Zealand have successfully managed the virus without the second spike. Attributing the entirety of the current spike to 'the health of the population' is pretty serious spin, IMO. A factor in the death/complication rate? Undeniably. But at some point people have to take responsibility for their own actions and our poor behavior as a society and stop trying to minimize our culpability how this is unfolding. I too didn't research to see if this was accurate, but even if it is, does it warrant a 'yet' caveat based on the current trend? (Wisconsin data)
  23. PeaveyFury
    Isn't the current U.S. case fatality rate ~2.65%? EDIT: Obviously, we don't know how many of us will end up actually getting this before a vaccine and proper immunity is obtained so who knows what the final mortality rate will actually look like. I agree, though, that 3% was clearly an overestimate. Unfortunately, these concerns may have abated where you/your friend are, but this situation is playing out currently in Wisconsin. News reports this morning are that in some places hospital staff are given one N95 mask per week, and patients are being admitted to a field hospital setup in West Allis. Very fair points about surface contact, etc., though. It is indeed good news that some items have played out better than anticipated. What we'll never truly know, however, is how much the results of the past 7 months were positively influenced by the measures that were taken, many of which were (and still are) being fought tooth-and-nail by various groups, nor will we know how much better the results may have been if those measures had been adhered to on a wider basis. In the end, other places have managed to virtually eliminate the virus, and some continue to act and, sometimes outright claim as though nothing that they did, no policies that were put in place, nor societal behavioral differences had any effect on that result. Which, IMO, is absurd.

    My apologies. How about the first part of the inquiry, if you wish: I'm interested to know if based on her experience and discussions, whether there's a diminished concern or worry about the severity of the situation?
  25. PeaveyFury
    If you read the post that was being responded to, you'll note that the examples cited were specifically mentioned in the original post as examples of things people 'do to themselves': They smoke, they drink to excess, they're overweight, they have a crap diet full of sugar and processed food, they get no physical activity, they avoid sleep and live on energy drinks.If people are going to go to bars or go party with large groups of people right now that's their choice. I'm not gonna be doing that but I'm also not going to get upset about it any more than I would about people that live generally unhealthy lives. You cite accurate examples of things that people do to themselves that are also dangerous to others, but I think it's very fair to note that this isn't something that can equate to people choosing to "live on energy drinks." Indeed. Hopefully things are calmer in your friend's MICU now and that his life is more normal than it presumably was earlier. I'm interested to know if based on his experience and discussions, whether there's a diminished concern or worry about the severity of the situation, and whether there's an acknowledgement that other countries/governments HAVE had more success at containing this. Discussion about how to handle this going forward is good and very fair. The issue is that some decided back in March that this wasn't a serious event, and continue to try to downplay it today while society continues to struggle with the pandemic, IMO, which leads to an ineffective response and an unnecessary loss of life.
