UC Davis is talking about testing the entire student body and faculty/staff weekly. They’re able to run the test in house. Not certain, but i suspect it’s a PCR which is quick, accurate, and very specific. I think Dr. Mike is correct, most schools don’t have the resources. We are fortunate to have a medical school and a veterinary school, both with the ability to run these tests.

We’ve had some exciting games with them. Was it two years ago when we won down there as the game came to an end from a big hit and fumble near the goal line?

They sound like “super spreaders” to me!

Yep, similar conditions.

Well if its not COVID its smoke. Our guys wouldn't be able to practice, at least in Davis, if we still had a season.

Bottom line, I’m glad our kids are not playing.

My team Aggie donation wasn't discussed, but we had a lousy cell connection. I’m hoping to kick in a bit more. The loss of departmental revenue from sjsu and Reno was brought up. Glad I’m not the person trying to balance the budget.

Got a call today from the department. 3 choices for season ticket holders. Get a refund, use for credit for next fall, or donate funds to the department. No mention of spring ball.

I’m totally onboard with this decision. Financially it certainly will hurt. But the likelihood is there will be a vaccine and hopefully the spread of this darn thing will settle down by spring. Why roll the dice with peoples lives? Save one fan or player and missing a season is not important.

Regarding the Reno game. Even if they play and allow fans i won’t make the trip. And that’s one of my favorite (renewed) rivalries.

If its fall ball every other row at best seems possible. But you could still end up with non family members next to you. Base it on donation level? Lottery? Spring ball would hopefully make covid precautions more subdued. Fall ball just seems like a very remote possibility. As much as we love football, student health needs to be the big priority, and i believe it is in the eyes of the department.

And baseball is about as physically distant as you could be for a team sport.

Yellowstone. I usually dont watch series but this one is excellent.

Are you furloughed from work? I’m on recall after retiring and it is actually nice to go into work once in a while. As Zythe said, exercise is a great stress reducer. With that said, this whole situation is depressing for everyone so you're not alone.

We have an escape house in remote Lassen County so have been spending more time there which is major league social distancing. Ive been taking on-line spanish lessons and planning to improve my German. Missing my low impact cardio at the gym, biking to make up for it but very nervous about biking on country roads.

Sad to see it go. The survivors are the ones that could make a presence with online sales. I do my best to support local, but ebay and amazon are so darn easy.

What I’m pointing out is the graph is picking details that they think supports their objective, leaving out other details that may not. That’s why i used the term “skewed.”

My wife’s late step father was a very conservative aeronautical engineer and worked for a large defense contractor, her mom was very liberal. Back in my younger years, my favorite pass time was to bring up any hot political topic over dinner, then quietly excuse myself. Even though they had very different views on the world, they were happily married for about 40 years before passing.

To be fair, the Lincoln project has one objective, to defeat Trump. Their graph is skewed to reflect this, missing lots of details. And believe me, there are plenty of decisions he’s made that i shimmer over, but the evolution of this virus is forcing many politicians to shift positions frequently.

Our own Finn is the engineer behind that job :).
