Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

My 27-year-old daughter just phoned me to let me know that she has tested positive. 

She is healthy and has almost no symptoms besides a small sniffle and occasional cough.

She is a PICU nurse who is not working now but attending anesthesiology program which is now a doctorate program.  Her life consists of being in class and then being in clinicals and labs at the hospital. She has virtually not left the house otherwise.

She has no idea where she got it as she is not attending any events and is a very strict user of a mask, And is often in an N 95 mask as is required at her hospital. 

I was shocked to learn that the hospital that she is currently at on rotation for her degree is not testing people for Covid!  They are treating patients and people are doing elective surgeries and they have made a decision to not test patients.  I was simply blown away by this.

And this is in the state of Michigan. My daughter informed me that most hospitals that she is aware of are definitely testing but the one she’s working at right now is not.

That scares the shit out of me – – when the scientists are not following the obvious science.

Unreal. Best wishes to your daughter.

To be sure, none of us are experts in epidemiology and virology of course, but with discussion and surfacing articles, we can at least discuss fairly intelligently what is happening with this pandemic.  It's useful (even if I occasionally make a rather poor mathematical error).

If we post a thought (or hypothesis), if there is a flaw in our thinking, others can point it out, and perhaps refine the thought, or dismiss it all together.

If someone doesn't like this process, they are of course free to ignore it and contribute nothing.

Engineers are scientists.


I'm an engineer.


BWar is an engineer.


GopherRock is an engineer.


UTee is an engineer.


Dr. CDawg is a chemist.

Hey I've got a degree in zoology so I knew a little bit about science like 20 years ago

Yeah, but you're a lawyer now.



Arguing with an engineer is like mud wrestling with a pig.

Then, after a couple of hours, you realize the pig likes it.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good Luck HB hope your kid weathers things fine.My brother lives up on Catawba Pennisula .Some Hospitals up in NW Ohio had a big spike back in September.According to what he's read there were a alot of Michigan residents filling those hospitals.But maybe her place has more information

I saw a news story in the last few days were the AMA was quoted that the China virus RNA seems to indicate that it was most likely a product of a "gain-of-function" study.  In other words, the virus was engineered and most likely escaped the poorly run Chinese lab in Wuhan.

Can you please try and find a link to that story? I've seen some similar stuff, but nothing peer reviewed.

Fox News?

they hate China
