Harvard University president tests positive for COVID 19
Tough times at the Michigan of the East
We're really reaching on these "prominent, famous, or accomplished person tests positive" threads.
I assume someone is checking on Larry the Cable Guy. I would like an update so I feel less anxious about it.
So, on a message board centered around one of the most prestigious universities in the nation, saying that the president of the most prestigious university in the nation, a school we directly compare ourselves to, now has the virus, is reaching?
You do realize I said “Harvard” and not “Mineral Area Community College”?
We don't compare ourselves to Harvard. It was JFK who called them the "Michigan of the East."
Nice Hoop Dreams reference! (After HS, Arthur Agee went to Mineral Area C.C.) Stay safe y'all.
Maybe we should do a daily athlete/celebrity thread?
I believe the A&M and St. John's guards are the only coronavirus deaths this far from the college basketball community.
Has anyone checked on Paulie Shore lately?
He must be a Republican.
Is it just me, or does it seem like when people announce they have COVID-19 its like the 1990s and they are announcing they have HIV?
Yeah and it's sort of dumb. It's like catching the flu, maybe even easier to catch. 80% of us will have gotten in 5-6 months.
Your third sentence severely contradicts your second sentence.
SA Utah, how about you stop with your COVID obsession?
Fuck you asshole. You’ve been sucking Trump’s tit since day one about this and how it’s no big deal.
Easy there buddy.
"We had Mardi Gras. People flew in from all over the world. We were in close quarters. One of two had too much to drink and lowered their immune systems"—Senator John Kennedy on why coronavirus is spreading in Louisiana.
I guess all we need to do to protect ourselves is not drink too much. JFC.

Also: Atlanta Mayor says ICU units in hospitals across the city are at capacity.
Would have lost a Benjamin on Mineral King in here calling COVID-19 a hoax and correcting me with the real and factual name, Chinaman Virus.
I heard the genteel term is VOP (Virus of Oriental Persuasion)
Now we know who really are hitting the Asian massage parlors. The Harvard president, Tom Hanks, several NBA players, a few senators, etc. It all makes sense!
Robert Kraft must've built up an immunity
"Beaumont Health is caring for 635 patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 who are putting pressure on the eight-hospital system as it nears capacity for staffing, protective equipment and ventilators, the Royal Oak-based health system said Tuesday.
The health system is sometimes transferring patients between hospitals to find space and is beginning to convert some operating rooms into intensive care units, Beaumont Health Chief Operating Officer Carolyn Wilson said in a statement."
And this:
"If you need a wake-up call, here it is: My husband was on a large conference call of American med school deans last night. One asked about legal coverage for pulling people off ventilators to give to others more likely to survive. I.e., not being charged with murder. Here we are."
My sister works for Beaumont (though in HR, so she's WFH). It is not good. Not good at all.
I don't know what WFH is, but the situation doesn't look good there.

My significant other is an ER nurse for Beaumont. They are underselling how bad things have become. They are running out of ventilators and PPE, and the ICU is full.
And it's going to get much, much worse.
