Is that worth the cost?  I've always had a $3 toothbrush and it just seems nuts to pay $60.  Do you recommend it?
I like it.  I feel like it gets my teeth cleaner.  But I haven't performed any scientific experiments on it to make that determination, it's possible that it's entirely psychological.  

I'd say that if you like your toothbrush and you're happy with its performance and you're getting "good grades" at your regular dental checkups, then there's no reason to change.

There are UV lights sold to regular consumers of course, I am hesitant to think they can possibly be intense enough to be effective (short of leaving them on all day).  UV light also destroys living tissue, like retinas, which are important.  To be "safe", these things may be gimmicks that sound good and do little.

The sun of course puts out a torrent of UV, much of which the atmosphere absorbs (which is good).  What's left is enough to turn our skin brown over an hour or so, or red, depending.

The old advertising claim for detergents "whiter than white" was actually true, technically.  They included agents that converted invisible UV light to visible blue light which made white garments look really white.

They're flash-banging subway cards in NYC with UV lights, while empty, of course.  I'd still try to avoid touching anything with my hands.
An invisible vice combated with invisible defenses.  Fun.

Data:


JT (as a true freshman) had way more yards (1977 > 1271), a better YPC (6.6>5.9) and almost twice as many touchdowns (13 > 7).

It was not a hard choice.
You're right, it wasn't a hard choice.  Saquon Barkley actually had 23 touchdowns.  (18 rushing, 3 receiving, 2 KO returns).  He also threw for a touchdown.  632 Receiving yards vs 95.  He had over 2,300 all purpose yards.

And, he did it with an offensive line that probably wouldn't have made the UW 2 deep.

Yep, receiving yards matter.  Wisconsin doesn't seem to care about that, though.  I think Dayne had 1 reception his SR season?

I do not think that is true.  I couldn't find a single expert corroborating this despite spending an entire 5 minutes on the Google.

There was a lot of talk about social distancing ending in the summer, and I think that message may have been misunderstood.

Well, the company I work for is in the medical industry.  The health systems we support clearly felt the number would decline this summer and increase in the fall.    When I was in Florida on spring break as NY was becoming overwhelmed, I recall sitting in the hotel listening to discussions about how the summer would help.  If it wasn't explicitly stated, it certainly was inferred that this would behave like the flu.   And if that was the thought pattern at that time, then it would make sense the underlying belief was warmer temps would inhibit the spread.

we know now this is very different than the flu

I misread the TD line - I looked at his freshman year.

Anyway, the vote was for running back - not receiver. I voted for the best running back.

People were guessing at seasonality based on influenza experiences, but any scientists would have been putting a heavy caveat on such speculation.  We simply don't know.  

I was telling the wife today that I THINK that if this does snap back, we're going to have to roll with it.  Wear masks, wash hands, avoid crowds to the extent possible, and isolate the elderly, and hope for early herd immunity.

She was opining that IF these protests don't result in a detectable upsurge, IF, then perhaps it has run its course.

The wheels have not fallen off in Sweden.  The situation there isn't great obviously relative to neighbors, but neither is it catastrophic.

I'm hoping we find out that we can maintain a level of infections that do not overwhelm health systems so we can avoid quarantines.   I'm not sure the economy and segments of our society will be able to manage another round.

Receiving is really important for running backs these days.  Especially when the offensive line play is...offensive.

I remember this amazing catch Barkley had in the B1G championship game, for example.  :)

If you want your RB to catch passes, he needs to be able to.  If you're UW and don't ask them to, whether they can or not is irrelevant.

This was the great fear in mid-March.  We appear to have avoided that collapse.  From here on, it's going to have to play out I think while we do what we can to minimize R naught.  Face masks work.

The big issue is what happens to the rest of Europe as they come off lockdown. 

Because when you look at the numbers, Europe death rates have come down to tiny levels, while Sweden is stable but not declining at all. 

But we don't know the exit strategy for the rest of Europe. If they have the new infections controlled well enough that they can manage it with testing and contact tracing, the deaths stay low, and they don't have a rebound, then their strategy was probably better.

If each European nation with low death numbers now see spikes every time they start to reopen, leading to a constant yo-yo of lockdown/reopening, then it's likely that Sweden's strategy of just trying to manage the slow burn is better.

I believe face masks work... doctors I know believe it.   Wish people would treat it as a temporary annoyance and allow for society to return to a more normal state.
