Got it. 20% is a pipe dream nationally. The CDC fairly recently estimated something around 20 million cases when accounting for those not tested. That's only about six percent of the U.S. (I understand Taro's theory is NYC centric.) And there's the question of what immunity means if you've had Covid 19. A couple months of protection, a year?

I could never be this cynical. If Lazar's reaction to getting approached in public is genuine, and I have no reason to think it's not, that's big in this market. Remember how Drury talked about being approached in Wegmans (I think), and the thinking was someone like Chris didn't really enjoy the interaction. The Sabres should draft and acquire players who fit in here. It's not hard to imagine that the players who've talked about how much they hated playing in Buffalo were in the Drury camp. Why bring in guys like that in the first place? (Yes, there is a big problem with my thinking, Drury's performance itself. Outlier, that one, innhe?)

We can't discuss government response to the virus. You've disguised it, but you're talking about mistakes the Cuomo administration made, right? But it's not 50% of the population that had Covid asymptomatically. That's an estimate of the number of people who had Covid who were asymptomatic.

"If only we listened to our fans..."

Meh.

Would these be Google apps where you give permission for them to access your microphone? Or just plain old Googling?

This is for Swampy. I just opened this thread. Before I went to bed last night, the Welcome Back theme song popped up on YouTube, seemingly randomly.

I just tested your theory. Will report back.

That's as good as it gets (the video). (Say it as Jack Nicholson.)

Do we hate Seattle because they're already better than us?

The "true" death rate is now thought to be between .5 and 1%. Still five to 10 times more lethal than the flu. There's a good story linked on The Drudge Report today, but I"m absolutely too lazy right now to go find it.

I like worldometers.info.

Are we to be fascinated by this or disgusted? A county judge (aka commissioner) from Dallas County, Texas just said on CNN they still don't have enough testing and the testing they can do is taking up to 10 days for results. I work in a long term care facility that got one round of universal testing (with results in five business days, we were told), and because that round was all negative, there won't be another round unless we have someone get sick with Covid. What's wrong with this picture?

Potential treatment. Not much more than a hypothesis at the moment. It's part of the government's response. Wouldn't it be better to just say there shall be no criticism of President Trump?

Can we talk about the vaccine here?

Do you worry about mine? It's a huge shift for people to make, especially, I'm theorizing, Americans. But concern for others is the heart of wearing a mask — insert oft-repeated statement about how a mask's main job isn't protecting the wearer. The whole situation is confounding. How can I feel fine and make others sick? How is it my mask shouldn't make me feel protected?

It was a slash.

*****. I put a lot of thought into my definition of role model. Groundbreaking stuff. Maybe Theana ducked back down the alley with roly poly little bat faced girl.

Record number of cases yesterday (or maybe a tie), and the seven day average of deaths keeps going up. Cases starting going up as a seven day average about June 11 and the death figure followed on about July 4. That was to be expected. Unless the curve is flattened again, and we know how we did it once, the deaths will continue to mount.

These are not your grandparents' grandkids.

And thus it is written, that Grigorenko will tally in overtime of the penultimate game thrice removed to eliminate the Sabres, officially, from the playoffs.

Is anyone surprised that dark's uncle is a trapper?

Are the Bills profitable? Do they make "passive income" from investments? Don't you think Terry was smart enough to see energy trends coming? Isn't that why he cashed in in 2011?
