  1. In your opinion, is telehealth really effective and how will it impact the elderly, who may be reluctant to use? I can't imagine my 78 year old mother effectively participating in a telehealth session.
  2. Edit to the above. The CNN story even contradicted itself in the same paragraph. talk about sheety reporting. "We think it's highly unlikely it was an accident," a Western diplomatic official with knowledge of the intelligence said. "It is highly likely it was naturally occurring and that the human infection was from natural human and animal interaction." The countries in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing coalition are coalescing around this assessment, the official said, and a second official, from a Five Eyes country, concurred with it. The US has yet to make a formal assessment public So, if it was 'highly unlikely that it was an accident', that means it was on purpose.....right? What am I missing. And, if it was on purpose, it didn't occur naturally....right?
  3. I'm going to go on a rant and try to be very careful to not use four letter words. I am so sick and tired of the media bias and half truths. I usually read both sides, knowing that neither is being entirely truthful. But tonight's contradictions totally take the cake. I watched Tucker Carlson on Fox news Channel tonight. He had a very interesting story and interview with an Australian news reporter who helped publish a 15 page dossier that states that intelligence sources in the Five Eyes nations (U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand) call out China for all their lies, while strongly suggesting that the virus originated in the Wuhan lab. Here is a link that covers that angle. Note, the original Australian version of the story required a subscription. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/coronavirus/bombshell-dossier-lays-out-case-against-chinese-bat-virus-program/news-story/55add857058731c9c71c0e96ad17da60 Imagine my surprise when surfing the net and pulling up CNN.com, the headline is a story that paints the totally opposite picture. The CNN story suggest 'sources among the Five Eyes intelligence communities take the totally opposite view. The headline speaks for itself. Intel shared among US allies indicates virus outbreak more likely came from market, not a Chinese lab https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/politics/coronavirus-intelligence/index.html How in the living heuhl can two different media organizations publish/report on the same thing and get polar opposite opinions. The answer is that most media outlets are corrupt, will only publish stories containing their corporate slant, and in many cases, will politicize a story with a misleading or baited headline. All in all, at times like we currently face, this type of behavior is sickening. The public does not know what to believe, and those individuals who only watch/read one side of the story, are often manipulated into believing the only information they see.
  4. Indiana is actually doing terrible in my opinion. I live in southern Indiana and am part of teh Louisville media market. Kentucky is doing so much better than Indiana, it's not even funny.
  5. Scott. I hate to hear this. Praying for you buddy.
  6. The oft-quoted University of Washington model numbers released today double projected total U.S deaths to over 134,000 due to the relaxation of social distancing. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america Same model now projects over 6,800 deaths in Indiana, which is a huge jump from the just over 1,000 deaths previously projected. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america/indiana the other spbering thing about these numbers is that they are just projected through early August, and the projections seem to imply there will still be more deaths after that.
  7. Clarification. did he plan for the big league club, or was he just in the organization?
  8. Seriously, his number has been retired for the Louisville Bats.
  9. Corky is a legend in Louisville because of all the years he spent there in AAA.
  10. Jose Rijo is correct. Retired in the mid 90's.. was on HOF ballot in 2001. Got a single vote. Then unretired later that year. Won 5 games for Reds in 2002 before retiring for good.
  11. No more hints. Go ahead and make a guess.
  12. Nope. Hint: He was also a World Series MVP.
  13. Who is the only Majpr League pitcher to win a game AFTER receiving a Hall of Fame vote (was not elected though)?
  14. The correct answer is......6. Women win old age 94-6 Men are obviously inferior to women.
  15. I knew a kid once that not only bit his fingernails, but hos toenails as well.
  16. Of the 100 oldest Americans in recorded history (all 113 and older), how many were men?
  17. But, have you ever heard Paul Anka's cover of Black Hole Sun?
  18. I believe the baseball answer is Bobby Richardson of the Yankees, sometime in the early 1960's. Have no idea on the Super Bowl answer.
  19. Indiana definitely has coronavirus issues. 11th worst deaths per 1 million population among the 50 states. And, while you can see some flattening, and even some downward trending in other states, it just isn't happening in Indiana. New cases are going up and deaths are not going down.
  20. I'm partial to American Pharoah. I was a little young to appreciate Secretariat, and then you had Affirmed and Seattle Slew shortly thereafter, so it did not seem like a big deal back then.. Pharoah's Breeder's Cup Classic win may be my favorite horse race of all time.
  21. I don't have official statistics, but it seems as if there has been a shooting in Louisville every single day over the last 3-4 weeks.
