Re: Virus Schmirus

I was just listening to the daily briefing and it's really annoying how reporters repeatedly ask Dr.F differently worded questions that translate to, "What did Trump do wrong?" And he's not biting. At one point he said he would try to answer carefully so that his answers don't get taken out of conte...

Re: Virus Schmirus

I can tell you that the law enforcement officers I work with have zero interest in enforcing the stay at home order. I'm sure they would break up a large gathering and maybe even issue fines in extreme cases, but they're not going to bug people who are out and about. Case in point: parking lots alon...

Re: Virus Schmirus

The giant economic stimulus thing is complete garbage. Every lawmaker, Democrat and Republican, added pork that had nothing to do with coronavirus. I'm not sure how the final bill ended up, but I think we (the future "we") paid to keep NPR funded, gave tax credits to wind farms, funded the Kennedy A...

Re: Virus Schmirus

I've gone full circle on this whole situation. At first I was certain it was just media hype, like they do whenever there's a new virus and anything else. Then, when it seemed like everyone was taking it seriously, including those who thought it was overblown at first, I got on board with everything...

79 All Star Game

Is on Root Sports right now. All sorts of hall of famer types, Gaylord, Rose, Reggie Jackson, Yaz... All happening in the Kingdome. Very weird that people ever thought thin carpet over concrete (or whatever it was made of) was a good idea for baseball. Mariner Bruce Bochte just hit a high chopper ov...

Re: Looks like we could have May baseball

I work in the ER. Just because everyone is cleared to play and deemed healthy does not give you the authority or ok to not practice Social Distancing. There is no known current vaccination. There have been cases where patients have become infected by unknown means. If this were to happen in a clubh...

Re: Virus Schmirus

Tearing down the "emergency" hospitals before they ever need them. Pathetic the frenzy the media has caused. Trump even told everyone the cure before it ever got bad. Why did they smear him for it? Trump is right so much that I won't even be surprised when Mexico cuts a check for the wall after thi...

Re: Looks like we could have May baseball

I would really like to see the electronic strike system put in place...perfect time to try From the rumors I've heard: 1. Electronic Umpires 2. No mound visits(including catchers) not sure how they plan to do that without translators. 3. Double-header will be shortened to 7 innings each. 4. Players...

Re: Virus Schmirus

It would be great if there were enough tests so we could have a better idea what the numbers even mean. If people with symptoms are the ones mainly getting the tests, those are some skewed numbers and doesn't do anything to prevent non-symptomatic carriers from pawing everything at the local Walmart...
