@Zlinedavidor @KDB Just noticed Parker Stewart is not yet on the grid. @Hoosierhoopster Thank you for re-pinning

She is scheduled, but not until February 17th.

Elie Lilly treatment reduces hospitalizations by 70% for those who already have contracted the disease. Treatment was used on Trump, Guliani, and Chris Christie when they had Covid. Requires an infusion versus an injection, but the results are definitely worth the inconvenience. Story indicates doses are not super-plentiful, but are sitting on the shelves unused. One drawback is that It must be given early in the progression of the disease. Definitely sounds like something to ask about though.

When I went online this weekend to schedule my mom for a test (In Indiana), I was presented with location, date, and time options. To be clear, I searched for, and received, a date, time, and location that were supposedly available. I selected one. I then entered all her information, and received an error that there were no vaccinations available at that location. Not just at that date and time, but at that vaccination site. I proceeded to choose another location offered to me, and was presented with 'available' date and times. Same result. Went through a third location, and got the same thing yet again. Finally, on the 4th location, I was able to get her registered. So, when I finished, I'm asking myself why all of these locations offered to me for her were suddenly not available. The only thing I could come up with is that some of the health questions I answered for her scared them off. Possibly they were sites that did not accept someone with her health conditions. That's fine and understandable. But, clear that up at the beginning and stop offering me those locations if she ultimately can't get vaccinated there. Edit: Or, it could be that the system was just totally screwed up.

The story is not clear on whether they simply removed the mass (and possibly surrounding kidney tissue) or the complete kidney (which would qualify as the radical nephrectomy in the statistics you listed). I have little doubt that the trade, if not saving his life, at least saved Caris from a much more significant cancer fight. It truly is a blessing that it happened. And, I commend the Pacers for doing the right thing and standing behind the young man. A lot of organizations would have immediately voided the trade. The Pacers didn't, and that makes me proud to be a fan.

Hate to hear that. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Yesterday Indiana reported 12 Covid related deaths. Today they reported 80. Yesterday Alabama reported 2 Covid related deaths. Today they reported 234 I know you have to look at the averages to get a true sense of improvement, but how hard is it to send in your daily reports instead of hoarding them? Unnecessary big numbers do nothing more than cause confusion about how much progress (or lack of progress) is being made..

Not a particularly good last few days for the Top 5 in 3A. #3 Silver Creek lost Friday, #1 Heritage Hills lost Saturday, and now #5 Leo has lost.

I actually thought this very thing yesterday. I rubbed some sanitizer on my hands, It was a new bottle, so I instinctively brought my hands to my face to catch the scent. It was such a strong scent, it watered my eyes. i thought, wow, shove that stuff up your nose and no virus would get past that. Nasal spray makes too much sense not to at least give it a try. For the record, I did NOT shove the sanitizer up my nose. But, yes. Put it in a nasal spray, and I'm all over it.

You didn't mention my Bengals.

Percentage of ICU beds in use for Covid patients in Indiana is at its lowest since 10/22. It is interesting to note that Indiana did NOT experience a Christmas/New Years spike. 7 day average of new cases peaked on 12/6 7 day average of deaths peaked on 12/14 Hospitalizations peaked on 11/30 Little blips up immediately after Christmas and New Years can be attributed to the lack of consistent reporting in and around the holidays. If you factor in that smaller numbers were reported on the holidays themselves, the trend was relatively flat during that time. Since the first week of January, all numbers have been in a steep decline. .

Oh. I agree he is on the field. Just always found him a little smug off the field. Give me a everyone's my pal guy like Peyton, a down to earth, no BS guy like Favre, or a someone with the manners of Mahomes. I will say that I always felt Belechik was the true genius behind it all in New England, I may be wrong about that.

I may be more pissed about the Bucs / Packers game than the U game. And, I'm not even a Packers fan. I dislike Brady that much. Go Chiefs!

Agreed. See it all the time anymore.

I read a couple of the case summaries. Interesting stuff. Legit cases mixed in with some frivolous ones. I cant believe the ignorance of some of these employers.

Why would he want to be a walk-on (Archie never plays them) or practice player? He has MLB aspirations and should be giving his entire focus to baseball. Baseball/Basketball seasons overlap so much that trying to play both really only works if your primary sport is basketball.

The first sentence ties into the rest of the post. His #1 priority is baseball. The last sentence in my post explains my position regarding the first.

If we have the type of basketball team we want, he would not contribute in a meaningful manner. He's a good basketball player, just not a 'I'm good enough to play Power 5 in two sports' basketball player. If basketball was his only sport, and getting 100% of his attention, then it might be different.

I wouldn't be worried it it was me. It's just that my mom is quite frail. Someone in the family is with her 24/7 like it is, so we have that piece covered. My concern is whether her immune system, which is already compromised, going to be able to handle it.

Did you get Moderna of Pfizer? I'm getting ready to schedule my mom, for her first dose since Indiana opened up for those over 70. She's not in good health, and I worry what even a minor reaction will do to her.
