This is so true.

My favorite high school highlight clip is Jadeveon Clowney's. Mostly because it's a healthy serving of defense-porn... he just blows up everything at the point of attack and completely wrecks the game on seemingly every snap.

Most people only remember the time he decapitated that poor (lol Michigan) player in the Outback bowl, but he was a monster in high school.



Also, for lulz, here is 18-year old Jonathan Ogden playing high school football, at 6'9 345. He went on to go to 11 Pro Bowls and was a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Yeah, just run it behind that guy.

yeah we had a LSU recruited lineman go to my highschool for a post graduate year to bump up his SAT score

dude was like Jonathan Ogden above but with surprising speed

coach knew we could have won every single game if we put him in as a defensive linemen or a fullback but his ideal ncaa/nfl position was as either a guard or tackle and the recruitment pitch was "i'm just going to let you grow in your natural position rather than ask you to do other things that are bad for your long time career"

even as just an offensive linemen, he absolutely terrified the other teams, so much that another school newspaper published an article about how terrifying it was to face big mel

dude was also a beast at baseball, must have averaged 2x hr a game and in a park so deep homeruns literally never happened, used to hit them out into the track so if there was a race going on at the time they'd actually pause the at bat for a minute to make sure no runners would get hit

never made it beyond ncaa so i can imagine just how dominant the guys even better than him were

And yet Clowney lost the HS championship in South Carolina.

There’s a clip on YouTube of Clowney anchoring his 4x100 team at the state championships and he looks like he’s an adult in the kids race

Seeing that Clowney video reminded me of the 30 for 30 about Marcus Dupree, "The Best That Never Was".

Watching him in HS tapes was seeing the biggest player on the field, effortlessly running away from everyone else.

How did a HS find a helmet that big? Because the NFL helmets he wore always looked about three sizes too small.

I’ve played twice in home games the last few weeks. I’m still not particularly happy to shake hands with people and I’m washing my hands a lot. Our Covid situation is very clear in Australia and I’m not sure I’d go back if I was in a market with a way worse situation

I'm going back the week they open. I would have been going if they stayed open. Since the very beginning I've been of the opinion that life shouldn't stop for this virus (now everyone reply with snarky comment about how life has literally stopped for a few hundred thousand people)

As far as I can tell this coronavirus issue is over. Nobody cares anymore.

That's odd. The news is showing huge crowds of people wearing masks and other protective garments.

just gonna leave this here for the sweden bros

Again...I don't think anyone argues that staying inside throughout the process likely saved some lives. It's at what cost that people question (both monetarily/mental health/etc)...concede we will likely never be able to quantify that to everyones liking.

Also the point of the lockdowns was sold as to avoid hospital overruns which except in the case of NYC where it appears this was HORRIBLY mismanaged there has been nothing approaching a hospital overrun.

bwslim, i could be mistaken, but nowhere have i seen that

we've been so inundated with flatten the curve tweets and such that there's massive confusion over strategy and reasoning because our government is pusillanimous and prefers to operate silently where it can't be judged

i could be mistaken, but this was about prevention of the disease from spreading full stop, none of this flatten the curve so hospitals don't overun which serve as a simple and easily repeatable narrative

Why can't it be both?


And didn't the lockdowns actually prevent hospital overruns?

As of Sunday night, there were no rows of roofing panels in the backyard.

As of last night, there were three.

I said the Corona Cruise Lines had the best early data because it was a closed damp system with an older demo.

3,700 on board (100% tested)
700 cases -20%
369 had symptoms -10%
45 critical care -1%
7 dead - .002% (1% fatality of infected patients)


My open & arid state's latest rounded figures

345k combined tests (4.8% of state population)
22.2k cases - 6%
1k fatalities - .003% ( 4.5% of infected patients)

So it's not a perfect correlation but the jury is still out to determine that the Cruise ship was the best science available at that time.

This is from one of my favorite center-left bloggers with whom I agree on this: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-dr...ve-been-wrong/

My first preference is for proper lockdowns followed by testing and tracing.

But if the alternative are a repeated cycle of lockdowns and what Sweden did, then maybe the latter is optimal.

I also think that Sweden didn't do as bad as it was predicted. Worse than neighboring countries for sure, but not as bad as was feared.

I think Sweden currently 7th in deaths/population (so not great), but yeah, will be interesting where they fall long term.

The numbers are different on the Ruby Princess which is the Australian cruise ship debacle

2900 passengers
696 cases
22 deaths

(and this during Summer here...warm weather supposedly being a potential but not proven factor in limiting gravity of cases)

so 3% fatalities among the 24% who got infected. That's in line with rough estimates especially if you grant that fatality is going to be very correlated to demographic factors.

Going to point out the the death rates are 0.2% and 0.3% per test, not 0.002% and 0.003% over a 4 month period. In comparison, the flu death rate per test this flu season year is 0.055%, only a quarter to a fifth of the corona over twice the length of time.

Rickroll, in the US it was originally promoted as "flatten the curve" early on. Andrew Cuomo changed the narrative to "save everyone" a week or so later. One of Britain's goal was promoted as "Save NHS."

What's the average age / health of a cruise ship patron?
