Covid-19: We don’t talk about 1-18

This rhyming shit is why we all hate you

 

Let me say
That's precisely why I stay

 

See? I'm an old man ! Thanks for the correction!

 

This was always an issue. I'd say maybe 3-4 of the 12 girls I coached in U12 could consistently get the ball into the box on a corner

 

In your previous post you almost seemed to be saying that medical emergencies commonly took days or even weeks to be seen. That's not true, is it.

More to the point that's the sort of half-baked nonsensical talking point I'd expect from some idiot who supports a privatised health insurance model like the US... NOT from someone who should know better,

Of course there will be mistakes made in triage where people with little wrong with them will be seen before other, more acute cases and those will occur when the system is under load, (whether by simple mistake or through lack of funding).

I've seen that myself where a teenager came in with a bruised foot from playing football and was rushed through by his parents, (who made an enormous fuss), whilst an elderly woman who'd been waiting for an hour, continued to wait with a broken ankle.

But none of that changes the fact that the clear implication of your post, as written, was wrong.

Generally, before covid, the emergency service worked OK for the vast majority of people.

Now, they don't.

 

There doesn't seem to be much social distancing occurring in that...

 

Wait 2 weeks, we may be about to get some spikes.

 

This remark of the researcher is very reassuring to me:
"The remarkable thing about this antibody is that it reacts to a part of the virus that doesn’t mutate quickly"

 

Is this virus thingy still going on. Looks like the Meeja have found a new shiny story.

 

It'll resurface again, once we admit there isn't anything we can do but stay home until it passes. Or once we reopen everything and folks start dying in larger numbers.

 

Dead now. Coached Bo Jackson and a host of other guys who made it to the NFL.

 

Social distancing of the kind you have in mind has basically stopped being adhered to in Iran and, increasingly, many other places. The question is what to expect from it?

This part of what Iran's health minister mentioned caught my attention and increased some of my worries:

p.s.
My optimism, backed by some early indications when the virus first began to spread in different places, that warming weather would help provide a respite seems misplaced. While the number of deaths in Iran haven't reached the levels we had a couple months ago, the curve that was declining on this front has began gradually to shift upward. And concerns that the virus, if anything, may prove more dangerous in any 2nd wave, are underscored by some of what was being reported today. What to do with these concerns, worries and facts, in light of some other worries, concerns and facts which need to be placed alongside them, is also a question that doesn't have seem to have any easy answers.

 

Style points to the Iranian health minister for the soccer metaphor.

 

There is no comment, political or otherwise, that isn't improved by the inclusion of a footie reference.

 

Did they let the dogs out again?

 

And so it goes.....

 

For us corners were taken from a spot 8 yards from the edge of the penalty box and goal kicks were taken from a spot level with the penalty spot up to age 12 I think. Then we played as per normal.

 

Under 1k new cases announced today in IL, been a while since the new case number was that low. Might be weekend lag, but I think there were over 20k tests administered, so we will see tomorrow's numbers.

 

Just as we open up. My dentist emailed me today about rescheduling a cancelled appointment. We'll see how this plays out.

Sewage could hold the key to stopping new coronavirus outbreaks

We (Merseyside, UK early 1970s) played on a full-size pitch, with patches of bare earth and a muddy goal mouth, with a soggy leather ball with the consistency of a brick, and you wonder why England didn't qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cup and the 72 and 76 Euros.

 

Yeah, but weren't English clubs dominating the Champions Cup in that same era?
