In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

Re: Predict the duration of the 2020 season
So you're gonna compare the entire pool of americans that have been killed by corona to NFL players killed by playing football?
Why not an actual fair comparison like the number of football players killed by corona instead? You know we don't have 80 year old men with underlying health conditions playing football out there right? That's your typical coronavirus victim.

And it's not just about deaths.. CTE causes severe depression that pretty much makes you wish that you really were dead. That's pretty bad. Living miserably due to a brain injury sounds a lot worse than death does.

I'd like to hope they'd be concerned and careful and not be stupid like the Marlins players and go to a strip club.

I don’t think the season happens.

CTE is not something that you can pass on to your child, or your wife, or your parents, and have any one of them ending up in the hospital or God forbid, with long-term heart and lung issues or even worse. It's not something you can pass on to the person next to you.
When over 40 states issue some form of stay-at-home order, and over 100,000 people still manage to die from Covid-19 complications, in a span of three months, and we're now learning about the long-term health ramifications in those once thought to be 'Young, healthy and okay', I think that's reason enough to be afraid. I don't think that's the media pushing fear.
Many felt it wouldn't even get here from China: Wrong
Many felt that what happened in Italy wouldn't happen here: Wrong
Many felt that the very idea of claiming 100,000 would die was fear mongering: Wrong
Many felt that what happened in New York wouldn't happen anywhere else: Look at where that is headed. Three states at or around 200 deaths per day already, while still having nearly 10,000 new cases per day, with case positivity rates shooting up.
It's not the media pushing fear anymore. It's real.Last edited by The Excellector; 07-29-2020 at 11:12 PM.
