XJ isn’t perfect but he’s been a breath of fresh air at the guard position

Well I took all my iu clothes off and put on a non team affiliated shirt and a shorts. Maybe that will get the juju of crappy defense for all things iu athletics gone for the day. 

I never wear IU gear on game day. I don’t even use my IU coffee mug!

I’ve nearly left the building more than once. The defensive effort is terrible.

They’ve been feasting on the poor help rotations. 

What I liked is the ability to fight back and take the lead until that last possession. Last years team would have let them get hot and stay hot.

I like IU’s chances in the 2nd half. Marshall took control when IU played all bench players. 

Not a good segment for X. Got T’d up then instantly picked up #2. Both starting guards with 2 fouls. 

Parker Stewart 3-3 with 7 points. All 3 were all net

The only reason they do that Is because the NBA season is like 3-4 times longer than college and they need to conserve the guys. Our rotations won’t look like that.

Am really enjoying watching all of the handwringing over this on Wall Street. 

Individual Reddit investors have teamed up to run up stock prices agains wealthy hedge funds who are betting against American companies and *checks notes* the individual investors are somehow the bad guys. 

HILARIOUS. Wall Street has got away with stuff like this for years and suddenly they are not too keen on market manipulation. 

Karma is a b*itch. 

It's also interesting to see who is coming to the defense of the hedge funds.

Just my 2 cent opinion. It's a free market where people can make/lose money on any stock whether it's going up or down. I won't offer much more than that....but what's going on yesterday and this morning is you have several apps/platforms (namely RobinHood) who won't allow retail investors to place trades on GME, AMC, NOK,etc...

Shoot even Cuban got in the fun last night and this morning calling them out for that. 

The irony is that the hedge funds said Reddit is manipulating the market so they shut down buying which is manipulating the market, just in the favor of the hedge funds. You can still sell, but no one can buy which will cause the price to plummet. 

Here's a good video that breaks down what's going on. Basically, retail investors are getting in on market manipulation and Wall St. isn't happy about it. 

SIAP - I am about 2 weeks behind this thread. When projecting when the USA/State/community hits the peak, it is better to look at new cases instead of deaths. Deaths are a lagging indicator meaning someone who is dying today, first contracted the virus 2-3 weeks ago. 

Regarding Hydroxychloroquine, a plant is opening in West Virginia that is planning on making 50 million tablets, enough for 1.5 million people, by mid-April.

Here's how I see it playing out: By May 1st, Indiana and most of the USA will have been quarantined for 6 weeks. That is sufficient time to find hot spots and stop the spread. As soon as this HCQ is fully available, the direction will be to get a test (which will become easier and more widely available), start taking the HCQ ASAP (it works best at the onset of symptoms and prevents the spread throughout the cells), then quarantine for 2 weeks. We will continue social distancing and non-high risk groups will go back to work. Here in Indiana, we'll peak in deaths next week. Here's the website Dr. Birx from the taskforce referenced.

We’ve only been sending out tests for less than two weeks ( and they are taking about 3-5 days to get results back). So I agree with the thinking that positives are only going up because of more testing now.  We probably send out at least 30 a day and that’s from a smaller hospital.  No positives yet...that I’ve seen at least.  

Plus, to handle the backlog of tests, in CA they are saying to test only if it will change the treatment option. Also, they are saying to prioritize testing for patients already admitted to the hospital. The ratio of positive to negative test results is ~10% across the entire nation. That means people are having symptoms, but have strep/flu/cold 9/10 times. Considering these changes, I think we'll see the ratio increase. 

I'm really excited to start hearing results from the hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, and zinc cocktail that has worked, anecdotally. They started a big trial in NYC yesterday.

The zero hedge version IS more complete, along with a counterpoint tweet (which calls it a terrible article without refuting the numbers and statistics).  Anyway, here it is again...point and counterpoint...

For those of you with a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, they don't think too much of taking down this article either...

I read the article Saturday night then went to refresh the page Sunday morning and it was gone. In the comments, there was an epidemiologist who disagreed with the article . There was a long twitter thread by this person, but most of this person's complaints were ad hominem attacks towards the author. I have read other professionals agree with it. 

I liked the article and I thought he made some good points. I would really like to see data on cases per capita. The John's Hopkins map shows NYC as having 10,665 active cases. NYC's population is ~8.6 million. I would also like to have demographic data (age, Yes/No with pre-existing conditions, etc.) of every case. I keep seeing anecdotal stories, but no hard data. 

What I'm most excited about is the chloroquine trials that are starting in NYC tomorrow. I think is a real game changer and we should have some good data by the weekend. Here's an article where a Florida man was cured within a couple of days. https://nypost.com/2020/03/22/florida-man-with-coronavirus-says-drug-touted-by-trump-saved-his-life/

First case confirmed in Floyd County in Indiana. That is getting close to me. 
 

 

Just watched the press conference from this afternoon. The US is going to ramp up testing big time this week so watch for confirmed cases to explode, which it to be expected.

Just got an e-mail from our Pastor.  He is cancelling services to at least the start of April.  And is working on setting up a live video for Sunday's service on our church's web site.

Our pastor as well but we've had telecast ever since we started going.

Are you guys seeing this grocery store insanity outside Texas? 
 

I was trying to think of some reason why it’s so nuts here, was thinking maybe people are conditioned here to stock up for hurricanes. This looks like Hurricane Harvey, only there’s no storm 

I'm in northern Indiana. The store was busy and people were stocking up as if a blizzard was coming, but I haven't seen anything too crazy like people buying all the ramen noodles. TP and Clorox wipes were out but most other stuff was well stocked. My biggest concern is having to feed my 3 kids for a month when the crazies buy all the shelf stable items this weekend.

Here's the Indiana map. I think there were 3 new cases yesterday.

Several years ago I put away a couple weeks worth of food in a tote I keep in my house to avoid infestation, in case a disruption of supply happened. I paid attention to the things people were buying when a snow or ice storm was coming and bought the opposite. Flour, rice,beans, pasta and sauces, assorted canned goods, dried potatotes, MREs, batteries, candles, and toiletries.  Starchy foods that you can ration but still have enough to be full. Keep in mind too that alot of this stuff is still edible even after expiration.  In addition to my pantry, freezer and fridge Im good for about a month.  Wife thought I was crazy at the time, now she sees why I did it. 

And a months supply of water for each of us.  Just have to rotate stuff out from time to time. 

Is this you every week at work?

Ohio Governor just announced schools in his state will be shut down for 3 weeks beginning March 15th.

Marion county Schools are shutting down. Chances are tomorrow will be the last day of school for awhile in Indiana

That's a good thing.  Good for you and your employer. 

I agree. I'm ok with everyone who can just lay low for a few weeks. If mrflynn's intel is correct, this will quickly dissippate once spring has fully sprung.

Someone had it at the FW home and garden show. Let's see if the cases around The Fort explode over the next couple of weeks.

I work in South Bend. We were told to work from home until next Friday and I bet they'll extend it a few weeks.

Just got back from the store this morning and thought of a situation like this. Headline: "Meijer cashier diagnosed with coronavirus. All shoppers who used checkout aisle 13 last weekend may have been contaminated as well."
