  1. Obviously a tragic story. But, if a child with a seizure from a high fever caused by any other illness had died in the same way, it would be counted as a drowning. Another important piece of the puzzle that was not addressed in the written story is why a very sick child was left unattended in the bathtub. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-7-year-old-georgia-boy-with-covid-19-who-died-drowned-in-a-bathtub-after-a-seizure-coroner-says/ar-BB17NSUu?ocid=uxbndlbing
  2. Careful buying artwork from this woman. She uses moose poop.
  3. On this date in 2020, the Big Ten cancelled the football season due to Covid-19. A great gnashing of teeth followed.
  4. The moose didn't eat it. Must have had anchovies on it.
  5. This thread should be re-titled as: "Logan Duncomb (2021) Commits.... Crimes of Abuse Against Caleb Furst"
  6. Not sure of your source, but this one from June 2020 has a drastically different map. https://wallethub.com/edu/states-most-least-dependent-on-the-federal-government/2700/ Most Federally Dependent States Rank (1 = Most Dependent) State Total Score ‘State Residents’ Dependency’ Rank ‘State Government’s Dependency’ Rank 1 New Mexico 85.80 1 5 2 Kentucky 78.18 3 7 3 Mississippi 77.02 6 4 4 West Virginia 73.86 5 9 5 Montana 70.78 14 2 6 Alaska 68.61 7 8 7 South Carolina 67.58 4 16 8 Indiana 64.37 8 11 9 Arizona 62.71 13 6 10 Wyoming 62.26 24 1 11 Alabama 58.89 9 14 12 Louisiana 54.89 31 3 13 Maine 52.11 10 21 14 North Dakota 51.63 2 44 15 Tennessee 47.73 22 10 16 Pennsylvania 46.54 17 18 17 Missouri 44.29 26 12 18 Oklahoma 42.17 19 23 19 Maryland 41.82 15 31 20 South Dakota 40.39 23 17 21 Arkansas 39.46 41 13 22 Vermont 39.42 20 30 23 Georgia 35.18 35 20 24 New York 35.04 46 15 25 Oregon 34.89 27 27 26 Idaho 34.33 21 35 27 Michigan 34.06 29 25 28 North Carolina 33.89 32 24 29 Rhode Island 33.79 39 22 30 New Hampshire 32.42 34 26 31 Nevada 31.70 36 29 32 Ohio 31.32 45 19 33 Wisconsin 31.24 16 43 34 Texas 29.90 42 28 35 Florida 29.89 28 33 36 Connecticut 28.04 18 42 37 Colorado 27.64 40 32 38 Hawaii 25.49 11 50 39 Nebraska 25.32 43 34 40 Virginia 24.99 12 49 41 California 24.42 44 36 42 Washington 24.32 37 37 43 Minnesota 21.99 25 45 44 Massachusetts 19.16 47 38 45 Illinois 18.53 48 39 46 Utah 17.83 33 46 47 Iowa 16.53 30 47 48 Delaware 14.91 50 40 49 New Jersey 14.52 49 41 50 Kansas 12.73 38 48
  7. Russia registers a vaccine. Expects to roll out in September and October. Vlad's own daughter has already received two doses. I hope she was on good terms with him before getting them. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russia-registers-virus-vaccine-putin-s-daughter-given-it/ar-BB17P1Gf?ocid=msedgntp
  8. I believe masks work. But, there is also a reduced population for the virus to infect. In Indiana, over 50% of the deaths have come from nursing homes. Now that the virus has already ravaged that population, deaths in the state are down. The virus is naturally going to lose some steam in a location as the result of immunity acquired as it progresses through a population.
  9. I've never considered the option adding 'ery' to a 4 letter word. That has some interesting possibilities I can try out when dealing with divorce attorneys.
  10. Ostensibly is a big word, but i don't think it's necessarily vulgar.
  11. Loved the course. This is what majors should be.
  12. He just seems to me to be a little smug.
  13. Setting up for an amazing finish. I can't begin to figure out who is going to come out of this. Matthew Wolfe may have cost himself the tournament with 3 missed short putts in a row.
  14. I'm on the 'Anyone but Casey' bandwagon right now. I can't stand Paul Casey.
  15. At this point, you have to like DJ's chances. Koepka still does not appear to be at 100%, Day, Rose, Casey, and Finau are top golfers that have historically not been 'big moment' guys. DeChambeau obviously has the potential. But, the guy I'm watching out for is Morikawa. Seems to be that he has the demeanor and game to pull it off.
  16. Or, in my case, it's not the 2 extra putts that's the problem, but the 5 extra shots to get it on the green on every hole.
  17. Good buddies Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth playing together today. Through 13, Thomas is -4 for the round and Spieth is +5. 9 stroke differential. Has to be a humbling experience for Spieth.
  18. Mcilroy just imploded on the 12th. Triple bogey.
  19. Did not see it, but was following the scoreboard while at work and saw the Double come through. Should be an exciting prime time show tonight. Big names and a lot of storylines.
  20. Of all the reactions related to Covid-19, releasing violent criminals from prison is right up there at top of the bad ones. I can't see under any circumstances why someone would think that would be a good idea. Story is about a rapist in Virginia that was part of a Covid release that went and killed his accuser upon getting out of prison. https://www.wthr.com/article/news/local/rape-suspect-washington-post-alexandria-crime/65-13310ff6-43bf-444d-acc3-e229d7699b6b
  21. Honestly, it doesn't matter what happens from here on out with the virus. Nothing that happens in the U.S. is going to be on the level of what New York & New Jersey went through at the onset of the virus. At that time, we really had no idea what we are dealing with. It was new and it was frightening. Going forward, no matter how bad it may be in Florida, Texas, and California, it won't be as bad as what New York went through. I'm not saying people won't get sick or won't die. But, the knowledge gained over the last 4-5 months offers those states an advantage that New York did not have. I'm personally concerned about how the infection numbers are trending in Indiana. But, at the same time, i have a better idea of what those numbers mean than I did when this virus first hit. So, the key word is 'concerned' versus 'panic'.
  22. Stories published about 2.5 hours apart by the same source. You don't even have to open the link. Everything you need to know can be found by comparing the two titles. You gotta love the media. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-covid-19-death-toll-rises-for-5th-straight-week/ar-BB17DqVc?ocid=msedgntp https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/coronavirus-updates-us-weekly-covid-19-cases-deaths-down/ar-BB17GaNO?ocid=msedgntp
  23. So, apparently, we're not really sure who has the virus and who doesn't. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-governor/ohio-governor-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-then-tests-negative-idUSKCN2522L7
  24. Discussion topic. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are now doing much better than the rest of the country. Is it because they are social distancing and masking better? Or. could it be a little bit of the herd effect. In other words, did they got hit so hard in March & April that the virus is not finding as many available victims. :Possibly seeing something similar happening with the states that began to get slammed this summer. Arizona's pace has slowed quite a bit while California, Texas, and Florida are still setting up high numbers. The difference? Arizona has a much smaller population than the others.. So, is it possible that 'herding' is starting to kick in for Arizona, while the others still have a ways to go.
