How much in freedom fries?

about 47,520,000,000 fries stacked end to end, assuming the ave fry is about 4 inches long.

quick how many gallons of ketchup are needed

alright, lot of assumptions...

assuming there is an average of  30 4" fries per large order from a fast food chain (saw somewhere that it was ave of 80-90 fries, but ranged in size from 2"-6", so i figured most are smaller ones and 1/2 or 1/3 would be the 4" we needed. this is using the thinner mcdonalds size fries, thicker and/or wave/crinkle fries would change this amount, and since i have something resembling a good estimate, i'm going with it), that'd be 1,584,000,000 large order of fries from mcdonalds.

according to this, there is about .25 oz in a packet. and assuming most people use 3 packets per large order of fries (we're all fat, remember?), that'd be 4,752,000,000 packets of ketchup. (i figure some people like a ton, and some none, so 3 sounded reasonable average). or 1,188,000,000 ounces of ketchup.

there's 128 fluid ounces in 1 liquid gal, so that's 9,281,250 gallons of ketchup needed.

changing the # of fries in a large to 40 bring the gals down to about 7 million needed.
changing # of packets used to 4 brings the gal up to about 12 million needed.

damn straight, get that 'rona outta here.

no, bama had a press release stating that 5 players tested positive.

Press release? I thought they're shutting up and everyone else is reporting it. 

Florida reported higher figures the past two days, but I'm think that might be catching up to the labs reporting. At least that's what I hope. Anyway, deaths are dropping, which is positive.

And now, in Illinois:


CHICAGO (CBS)– You can get a COVID-19 test, even if you are not showing symptoms.

Free tests are available at any of the state’s 11 community testing sites. This is part of the governor’s goal for moving Illinois from stage three to stage four.

The state is urging anyone who joined any of the rallies and protests in the past few days to get a free test. This is in an effort to guard a spike in cases.

Infectious disease specialists say getting more people tested is crucial.

Press release? I thought they're shutting up and everyone else is reporting it.

i guess i misspoke again. the university can't comment on health of students, but through "sources" it's been released.

i didn't mean it like that, just that it's happening.
2 things concern me though.
1 - per the article, at least one of the players was in close proximity with several other players, so this could spread through the team quickly.
2 - while deaths for young people are rare and not really a major threat, there has been some long term damage to lungs for several people, even some that had minor symptoms. i worry it could effect some kids seasons or even careers. almost certainly it won't be many if any, but even a couple losing their career over it would be disheartening. similar to a freak injury ending it.

I share your concern but the odds are huge against any player having a serious bout with the virus and the fact is if 5 are positive then
the majority of the team may have already had it

do we actually know if they are testing the whole team and if so what the results are

they should do antibody tests on every player
