Predict Ags to finish in dead center (7th) of Big Sky.
Have to remember that their press deadline was probably before the first bat coughed in a cave in Wuhan province so their news is always a bit dated. An obvious example is that they state Thompson will be back at Sac.
To be fair, it's not just the magazines. I recall years ago reading the baseball preview feature in a local newspaper. It was something the paper obtained through a wire service and was published as spring practice was coming to an end and the regular season was about to begin. The article listed the manager of a team who actually had been replaced sometime in the fall or early winter.
I periodically (no pun intended) forget that print media still exists. I remember as a kid trekking down to the only liquor store in town that carried Street & Smith with my dad to get a copy, one of the few places D2 got covered. It was the kind of newsstand that was literally next to railroad tracks and had more dirty magazines than not.
Ivy League to vote on Wednesday on postponing football season to next spring. Atlantic Magazine says 98% chance that will be the decision. Sadly, Many feel this will be the first of many leagues to do the same. With the recent surge of the virus it is probably the wisest decision.
Especially tough on the small college programs, but I would be very surprised to see much in the way of organized athletics at any level very soon. As people may have seen, the Bucks and Kings closed down their practice facilities this weekend after positive test results.
From what I am hearing the mortality rate has dropped to .01% and the basic flu has a mortality rate of .1%. So it is not as lethal as the basic flu. That is the good news, but many more are getting the covid 19 flu.
We'll be studying this for years. How much of the recent uptick is due to large & intimate BLM protests... and there are rumblings of infected people from Mexico impacting numbers and possibly being double counted.
Why didn't we have a plan to protect our seniors and the vulnerable? We even blew the basics, Jerry Brown and Cuomo not having basic medical equipment stockpiled. (I give Newsom a partial pass being new to his position.)
Hardly any, but I know you want that to be true. (Look at recent numbers in Florida, Texas, Arizona, then look at Washington, Oregon, Minn, and New York. You even managed to get in some xenophobia re your Mexico comment. Nice
I'm no scientist, but I believe the transmission of CCP19 is high, but the mortality is quite low. For those under 70 its very low. I believe the average age of mortality is 82, and an immunologist from New Jersey said comorbidities like obesity and diabetes compound the problem.
The public health officials / politicians also keep changing the definitions / parameters. What used to be one diagnosed infection can now include 8-15 contacts in some areas, even without testing.
I wear a mask, but its apparently controversial. Sweden doesn't use masks, even admissions nurses at hospitals don't use them.
