I'm not sure what this post was about, but.....
COVID has already killed close to ten times as many Americans as your average year of murders. If the death rate of the last five months holds for the next five months, COVID will be the third leading cause of death to Americans this year.

I'll respond, knowing I'll get hammered...

First, if you are under 65 you have a way higher chance of dying from almost any other common cause of death (murder, car accident, alcoholic overdose, drug overdose, complications from the flu, etc.) than you do from COVID, especially now, since treatment protocols in hospitals are much better than they were. Over 40% of deaths in Italy and UK were from people that the governments of both countries said just this week were extremely likely to have died by the end of the year anyway, mostly institutionalized elderly. This people are not under 65. This comment is in no way intended to minimize the seriousness of the epidemic, especially for the elderly or those with co-morbidities, or those who were unfortunate enough to be infected in March or April, just responding to Big Piece. Look at the CDC data.

Second, the death rate is nowhere near what it was in March and April anymore. Young, healthy people are the ones getting infected now and almost all are asymptomatic or mildly sick at worst. And, as stated above, our hospitals are doing an awesome job with treatment improvements across the board, from reducing ventilator usage (which killed people in March by accelerating the immune response), proning people on ventilators, repurposing C-PAP machines, treating sick people with various off-label drugs that are reducing ICU admittance by almost 50% on comparable cases, using "emergency" drugs like Remdesivir and Favipiravir, and treating the very sick with convalescent plasma (BTW, get an antibody test and volunteer to donate if you have antibodies, especially if you had a symptomatic case. Those cases tend to produce a stronger immune response. Contact the Mayo Clinic.). It's extremely misleading to compare IFRs for the whole population to IFRs for those under 65, or to compare IFRs in March with those in late July.

What if, and hang with me here, Price was the trojan horse sent into the marlins locker room?

I should have prefaced that my post was complete satire of a long-gone poster and someone who constantly moves the goalposts because he wants to see the Nittany Lions on the field in September.

Seems weird to only focus on deaths anyway. We still don't know what the long term effects will be for people who had it but didn't die.

Also all those "common causes of death" aren't contagious. This is.

The new normal sucks.

Thinking is it may have started from at least one maybe more marlins went out in Atlanta according to nightengale

If it wasn’t them, it would’ve been some other team. This was going to happen.

yeh, but it's combined with Jeter being there, that stupid stadium, and a host of other acts of depravity.

Stott, Medina and Listi were added to the player pool.

So Listi was added to the list?

Passan says all Phillies players and staff tests came back negative again today.

I cannot argue with any of that.

No game Friday, DH Saturday

We better get to play the shorthanded Marlins that next week to make up for all this shit

major rust factor especially hitting

I applaud the nod to safety by going six days clear of Marlin interaction. But we can't deny this is a bit of cross your fingers and hope for the best. The Blue Jays have to be frustrated AF with how this whole deal is going

Honestly all those players that went out should probably be dismissed from the team for the season.

Dicks.

Cutch is excited - players found out first this time.
