But, it is JUST THE FLU!!!
Covid >> Life Champions.
Michigan >> Life Champions.
Michigan >> Covid!
September 5th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
The flu isn't contagious?
September 5th, 2020 at 7:59 PM ^
Ah yes, the non transmissible flu
September 5th, 2020 at 9:58 PM ^
What the fuck are we actually waiting for? Not overwhelming hospitals? Ok. Flattening the curve? Done. A vaccine? Good luck but don’t stop your life for that. This is here to stay.
Cmon guys. This is out of hand. The show must go on. Let’s live life.
September 5th, 2020 at 10:20 PM ^
A lot of very important people (for a variety of reasons) decided to tie their reputations to the idea that this is a doomsday virus. They assumed, correctly, that stupid people would argue their position for them. That's all you really need to know to know why we're doing what we're doing
September 6th, 2020 at 5:35 PM ^
The scariest people in the world are idiots who think they're the ones who've got it figured out. We're on schedule to have 400,000 Americans dead by October (and that's with a months-long lockdown; otherwise, we'd be nearing a million). If you're okay with that, you must be a terrific guy.
When people head back inside this fall, and when flu season comes, a concurrent second big wave of covid -- which is almost guaranteed, by the way -- would easily overwhelm hospitals, causing even more deaths bc people with all sorts of ailments wouldn't get treatment. This will prompt further lockdowns and more economic chaos. How do we know this? Because math. Because science. Because people a lot smarter than you aren't blind to what is clearly happening. This country has the worst covid rates in the developed world. Barring a vaccine that comes soon, which is unlikely, it will get worse before it gets better. Just because it hasn't hit you is not a reason to pretend it's no big deal. Wake up.
September 6th, 2020 at 5:54 PM ^
Who’s schedule is that? It comes from the same modelers that have been wildly inaccurate throughout this fiasco. Throwing this number out, as if there’s any chance we’ll get anywhere close to it, is truly moronic.
September 5th, 2020 at 10:40 PM ^
I honestly just want someone to tell me what the target is. Do any of us know what needs to be achieved for us to be back to normal? Is this the new normal? If it is, I’m punching out along with most of the population. I’ve followed all the “rules” just to find out there is more to do. I feel like a damn puppet at this point. In March and April, I took this very seriously and was one of the hardcore out there but now....I really am questioning everything. Someone please shed some light on this.
September 5th, 2020 at 10:46 PM ^
Your whining is unbearable.
September 5th, 2020 at 11:13 PM ^
What?
September 6th, 2020 at 12:11 AM ^
Did he stutter?
September 5th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
Go here and look at the data for New York. 801 cases for the entire state today. Look at Florida...3600+ cases today. Get test positivity below 2% and you can feel confident you are not constantly running a COVID gauntlet, but you still need to wear a mask and stay away from people.

Here’s some interesting reading material, too.

How is NY getting their cases so low? Is that sustainable? Are we social distancing and wearing masks for the rest of our lives? it seems that unless we can get it to 0, this is here to stay unless we find a vaccine.
September 6th, 2020 at 12:31 AM ^
You ask a lot of questions for someone who doesn't listen to answers.
September 6th, 2020 at 12:58 AM ^
Since I'm so dense, maybe you can spell it out for a simpleton like me.
September 6th, 2020 at 12:37 AM ^
Look at the data for New York here:
https://rt.live/us/NY
They’ve been maintaining that since the end of May. If every state was like New York, we’d probably be allowed into other countries and I might get to see my house in Canada.
September 6th, 2020 at 12:57 AM ^
Doesn't answer any of my questions. So I assume you are implying that NY is social distancing and Florida isn't. They must be continuing to social distancing to keep the numbers down. Now how long is that sustainable for? Florida had low numbers at one point too.
September 6th, 2020 at 1:14 AM ^
It’s as sustainable as people make it. If you want to return to something that feels like normal life, then maintain discipline. This is a confidence game. People feel safe, then life gets back to something more normal. Bad behavior and bad numbers undermine confidence.
September 6th, 2020 at 1:21 AM ^
I feel safe. I've felt safe for months now. Still waiting for normal.
I'm sure most of Florida feels safe, and has for months now too. Aren't you implying that that is their problem in the first place?
September 6th, 2020 at 3:50 AM ^
And you just explained why this can't get fixed.
His whole point was that we are stuck in a never ending cycle:
1) Things get bad
2) People institute protective measures
3) Things get better
4) People start to feel save and relax protective measures.
5) Go back to step 1 and repeat infinitely.
September 6th, 2020 at 4:54 AM ^
So much truth to this comment.
September 6th, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
Yeah, that is why this whole thing is ridiculous
September 6th, 2020 at 11:43 AM ^
Okay, moron. The answer is: NY had taken it seriously thanks to a governor who had the states best interest at heart ; while fla hasn't, thanks to a governor whose only concern is sucking up to Trump. I had to go to NYC in June to visit my sick mother (not Covid) and was scared shitless, until I got there and saw that virtually EVERYONE was wearing a mask and social distancing, not partying on the beach. Restaurants were immaculate. And no Trumpers with guns going nuts over the mask requirements. Does that answer your question, numbnuts?
September 6th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
No jackass. How long is that sustainable? If NY is so successful, why aren't they back to normal yet?
September 6th, 2020 at 12:46 PM ^
Blueblood, If you do nothing you end up like NY and Italy. Masks, distancing, no gatherings, etc, as long as most adhere, are keeping retransmission just under 1 where I am in California. Most retail businesses are opening with limited capacity. Other businesses are figuring out how to adapt safely with state guidance. You wont be able to go to a crowded bar or theatre for some time. This will last until about next summer. Vaccine science is real and faster than ever but can’t be rushed.
Becoming stir crazy and/or complacent after 2 months is expected. Many people will act irrationally (anger, frustration, up tics in conspiracies are common) in these situations, but thankfully most will stay rational. You need to help maintain calm in your community and do what’s necessary to keep retransmission low for the year.
Great leadership at a national level would help people cope, stay the course, and maintain calm but unfortunately the US leader falls into the irrational side of things. Imagine if Churchill or Eisenhower acted that way during WWII. Ugh.
September 5th, 2020 at 11:23 PM ^
Blueblood and BR get it
September 5th, 2020 at 11:24 PM ^
Do you know anyone who’s been hospitalized or has died from COVID? I feel your option might be different. New info came out from a group the WH has said is reputable, and they said they believe 6 million will have died by the end of 2020 and that’s not worst case.
Its been said a bunch on here but people didn’t take it serious enough so it’s still around and mostly likely going to get worse in the upcoming months.
September 5th, 2020 at 11:44 PM ^
You can literally write any story you want with the studies and info. I want to know what we are aiming for. Right now, it seems we are pissing into the wind. Does it not?
September 6th, 2020 at 9:02 AM ^
The reason we are still in the mess is because there are still many that won’t follow the rules. Think it’s a hoax and they can do what they want. Then these idiots keep spreading the virus and keeping life from going on as normal
September 6th, 2020 at 10:28 AM ^
They'll get back to you after November 3.
September 6th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
How about: It's not about you.
September 6th, 2020 at 6:02 PM ^
There is no target. At this point, the support for continuing this incredibly destructive insanity is split between the irrationally fearful and those hoping this somehow hurts Trump, and nether group is looking to end it anytime soon.
September 6th, 2020 at 1:02 AM ^
The wing nuts have taken over this site.
September 6th, 2020 at 4:20 AM ^
When it comes to football, it seems pretty clear what the target is...if that's not good enough for you, that's on you for just disagreeing, but don't act or imply like the end goal is a vaccine or for this thing to completely go away.
We know it's not the flu, and for people like you to keep saying that...is just going to make someone on the other side dig in further.
I never understood that position either. I'm going to fight everyone on this and make this an us vs. them thing.
If all of these people would've shut up, wore a mask and waited until rapid testing was available and we knew more about this...we'd be fine.
Stop comparing this to something that has been around forever, something we know exactly how to treat.
Once we got to the point where COVID was like the flu...you likely wouldn't have to worry about it again because we'd know exactly how dangerous it is, how to treat it, etc.
Wear a mask...make it a MAGA mask, just wear one.
September 6th, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
And wear that mask even if you’re fully aware of the fact that it provides little to no protection to anyone. It’s important to conform!
September 5th, 2020 at 10:48 PM ^
99.6% survival rate..scamdemic
September 6th, 2020 at 4:21 AM ^
album still sucks. trolling still lame.
September 6th, 2020 at 1:38 PM ^
Do you have any idea of the long term damage this virus causes to those it doesn't kill? Obviously not.
By the way, your survival numbers are a flat out MAGA lie, but even if they were true, .4% of the US population is still over 13 million people you dumbass.
September 5th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
They should just ask for volunteers to play
September 5th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
I’ll show myself the door...
September 5th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
Be sure to tip the waitresses
September 5th, 2020 at 7:31 PM ^
Just the tip?

September 5th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
I saw where only like 6 or 7 of them were actually positive. Maybe the tweet stating that was incorrect though.
September 5th, 2020 at 7:00 PM ^
The linked article says seven or eight players, with most of the others quarantining due to having had prolonged exposure to Covid-infected people, as revealed by contact tracing. A few unavailable due to injury as well.
September 5th, 2020 at 11:47 PM ^
How about Aubrey Solomon?
September 6th, 2020 at 12:59 AM ^
I believe that he said “Fuck Covid,” and then ended up with Covid, but just for a while.
September 6th, 2020 at 4:05 AM ^
@autocracy thanks for the clarification, I didn’t actually read the article. Like I said I just saw a few tweets about it earlier.
September 5th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
In their downtime maybe they can join an on campus protest.
September 5th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
Not to worry, they'll stay safe and sound in their dorms
