I don't think you can. But, you can merge the new thread to the stream thread.

I am still leaning to thinking we'll have CFB this year, pretty much as usual, with face masks probably.  "We" are learning some critical things about transmission of this thing obviously.  The fear it could live on surfaces for a hundred years is dispelled.  The fear hospitals would be overrun.  The fear the mortality rate would be 10% or more.  The fear that seeing on TV could make you get it.  The fear the economy would completely collapse and we'd have street riots. 

I think we're in OK shape on this one.
Yeah I know that the Texas governor is moving quickly toward making stadiums available to be open.  He's already announced sports stadiums could open to 50%, up from 25% a couple of weeks ago.

Realistically I'm not sure how that would work, but there aren't any major spectator sports going on in the state yet, anyway.  Pretty clearly, he's drawing a line from May 30 to September 1 and ramping the "% capacity" to work out so it'll be 100% on the first weekend in September.

Now that we are heading back, I've looked into Illinois' numbers and things are trending down, as far as cases go. Deaths are a little harder to trend. It's kinda all over the place.

There were a shit-ton of HUGE protests lately, so it will be interesting how that shakes out- particularly in the City.
Yeah, I'm trying to keep a close eye on the numbers as well.  Apparently protest numbers were still growing larger as of two days ago.  Could be a few days delay before we start seeing any effects.

"Likely"


Another key word, and certainly one I wouldn't use in the same sentence with the word "confirm".

There is nothing confirmed about this virus, aside from the fact China knowingly and willingly unleashed it on the world.

Until I see complete consensus on the matter, I will continue to hold out the possibility is was created/altered in a lab. I'm not closing any doors. Too early for that still.
I think Jonathan Taylor was an alien.

It is likely he isn't.  but you can't say FOR SURE.

So nothing AGAIN BBTS? 1.4 BILLION with an axe to grind couldn't come up with a nefarious concoction because you keep repeating "Zero Evidence"  like the Rain Man "wanna watch Wapner".You have no proof just opinions
So fill in the blanks for me.

China intentionally inflicted a virus on humanity to ...???

China developed an kept hidden new ways of genetically engineering viruses far beyond our capabilities in the United States.  Then, they used incredibly advanced technology to start a pandemic in China.  Why not drop some off in Mexico and go home?

China has lost billions so far due to this pandemic.  This was intentional because?

Why is it more likely that a virus escaped from a sophisticated lab following strict American safety protocols than just mutating in nature?  After all, there are millions of bats in China, and it happened at least once before in 2017.

@Big Beef Tacosupreme

Take it to some other thread.  Perhaps the 2020 shit-show stream of thought thread.  I'll give you a minute to copy your thoughts, and then I'm deleting the post.

Thank you for your support.
oh, sorry UT...I'm still pages behind...lol

I was actually staying away from politics, I thought...

I'm fine with it elsewhere, just really trying to keep this thread clean.  And I have to say that any discussion of ACA is bound to be political in nature, ya know?  Anyway, badgerfan said it's good to discuss that kind of stuff on the 2020 stream of unconsciousness, and I knew you put a lot of effort into that post so I split it off. :)

My thoughts tend to go along the lines of they did it to level the playing field. All they care about is being the World's bank.

They shut down travel within their own country, but allowed armies to go to Europe, the US, and elsewhere - threby crippling competing economies (or so they thought).

That rings alarm bells for me.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/texas-reports-a-record-high-number-of-hospitalized-coronavirus-patients-after-state-reopened-early.html

This report may be a bit misleading IMHO.
Well it's factually correct and I think there's reason to watch the numbers very closely.  The article does mention that Texas still has a lot of available capacity in hospitals, ICUs, and ventilators.  Of course, they didn't LEAD with that info, because it won't get any eyeballs...

Florida had a large jump in cases this past week, but did far more tests than the week prior. The percent positive remained flat, at 3.62 (up from 3.51 the prior week).

Deaths are dropping greatly. Maybe the doctors have a better understanding on treatment now?
My guess is the deaths are dropping greatly because it’s just not that deadly overall and it’s already killed the most at risk people- 43% deaths nationwide were in nursing homes. Average nursing home resident is 80 years old and has plenty of medical complications. Not exactly young and healthy people there.

It’s already wiped out who it was going to wipe out for the most part.
