What politics on what other page?

Here's an interesting piece written by a Stanford professor of medicine and epidemiology that echoes some of @Wyldnwoody44's concerns: https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/

In fact I am taking a stab at a fu manchu!

Growing a mustache.

First bolded: there is one similarity that is more important than any of the differences: in both sports, the GM is accountable for the team's results. 2nd bolded: as others have noted upthread, not everything hinges on Allen's continued growth. I agree that becoming a legit title contender depends on it, but making the playoffs doesn't, since the Bills have already done so in 2 of BB's 3 seasons -- and that is a huge difference between BB and JB.

Serious question: obviously going to a big, crowded party is against the new social distancing rules, but what about having another family over for dinner? What about your kid having another kid over to hang out for a few hours in the afternoon? What about having a friend over for a drink and a cigar? Or walking the dog with a friend and his dog?

Advice on the virus from a family member who is an experienced physician (although not an infectious disease doc): I recommend taking Shitaaki pill daily—this is a fungal extract that stimulates the immune system, including antiviral activity. Other fungal pills of Maitaki, Reishi or Turkey tail or a combination have this property. Also -- @PASabreFan -- my understanding is that Vitamin E supplements are good for the lungs, both for inflammation and for helping the lungs restore damaged tissue.

In response to the various complaints about bias and censorship: - I deleted 3 posts yesterday -- one that was explicitly anti-Obama, one that was anti-Trump administration and one that wasn't partisan in nature but belonged in the politics club. So I don't think there was any bias in the selection or execution of post deletion. - The reason I deleted those posts is that before doing so I had said no less than 7 times in 3 days that political posts need to go in the politics club. The statement seemed to be falling on deaf ears and sometimes it's quicker to just delete. There was certainly no intent to censor anyone. - Scotty's post from outer space has now been deleted. For those keeping partisan score of deletions, that's 2 anti-Obama deletions, 1 anti-Trump and 1 non-partisan deletion. - It didn't occur to me to delete Scotty's post originally simply because it was so whacked out. In any case that has been remedied. - Bottom line: this thread is for discussion of the virus -- NOT for political discussion. That is what the politics club is for. I don't think anyone can credibly claim that he/she doesn't know that. If you see a post that you think is problematic in that regard, please report it.

Whoa -- I just read the stuff that @Scottysabres pasted. That is from outer space. @Scottysabres -- eeeeeeeesssshhh. This is not the hill to die on.

Indeed. It went well beyond quoting Taro though. If you need to make those points pls take them to the politics club, and bring the unhappy and oppressed @LGR4GM with you.

Wow.

Matthew Coller on Diggs: this looks like a great move by BB. Worth noting: BB picked up a 5th-rounder and a 6th-rounder last year in camp by trading 2 guys that he was going to cut anyway. Those picks helped him close this deal and still have picks in those rounds in this year’s draft. Hey JB: are you paying attention??

@Weave -- I responded a little while ago to an earlier and regrettably similar post from the poster in question before seeing the one you quoted, which is also well worth moderating. The poster in question needs to knock it TF off. OK?

Sorry about this. Hopefully it won't be long before things stabilize and hiring starts back up. This BS belongs in the politics club. Good man.

I'm not interested in playing games here. Threads get quickly derailed when people feel the need to get their political shots in. That BS goes in the politics club.

This BS also goes there. Knock it off.

As has been repeatedly made clear in this thread already -- this BS belongs in the politics club.

Take this to the politics club please.

Let's chill out a bit in here please.

No. It's merely the flip side to "the rich should pay more to help the poor" -- a view that has been repeatedly expressed in this thread and yet not, for some reason, characterized as "partisan" or "gratuitous" by you and others making accusations of bias.

I regret to report that to the best of my knowledge, @deluca67 kinda ghosted us. I hope he’s well and he comes back soon once Gillis or Hextall puts things in order.

@Eleven — again, not everything is political. This is a broad and sober and mostly respectful discussion about the obligations in society of the wealthy and of those who are just getting by. No one is firing in hysterical and/or gratuitous partisan shots.

I think it’s also worth noting that none of us has any idea about the amounts and types of charitable donations the Pegulas are making in connection with this crisis. Someone who is outraged about the arena workers might feel differently if he/she knew, e.g., that the Pegulas have donated, say, $2 million to healthcare clinics and other similar virus-related causes.

Again: please do not post this BS here. Take it to the politics club.
