Given how slow to respond we were and how much our population travels large distances(domestic & international), I'm guessing we pretty much gave away the latter advantage.

I've seen a couple more articles pop up today with doctors saying that intubation is the wrong treatment for a lot of these cases because the lungs are doing a reasonable job of expelling CO2, it's just that the oxygen isn't getting to the blood. That would definitely be interesting for the possibi...

I haven't dealt with the host yet, but I have a tough choice to make for a late June trip. My wife was supposed to do a half marathon in Estes Park and we were going to stay for several days after(7 nights total) to relax and enjoy the scenery/RMNP. I have til a week from Monday to cancel for a ful...

May is almost certainly too aggressive, if for no other reason than you need to have a reduced ramp up spring training, but I don't think it's that unreasonable an idea. You eliminate the risk of travel, and while yes there are non-players that would need to work to support this, we're almost as clo...

I’m glad you’re still being paid TT I doubt he's diminishing the impact on those hurt by this but rather questioning how impactful the current unemployment is compared to what it will be once we truly know which businesses survive and which ones don't. There will obviously be people returning to th...

I’m a little confused by the breathless attention to the actual unemployment number. We’re in an unprecedented situation where tons of businesses are basically on pause, and the bill congress passed uses unemployment benefits as a primary lever of taking care of workers(I’ve even heard possibly apoc...

why did they ever stop making 30 Rock

For those that have the Athletic, how do you guys typically navigate the site? Sounds like a weird question but I signed up again because they had a 3 month trial offer, and its the same as every time I subscribe. I can never find enough good articles that interest me. But when I'm not signed up, i...

Looks like Passan is saying he had it last week.

I haven’t been to many of these, but going with the criteria of fairly close to a decent sized airport: Colorado Michigan Minnesota Washington UCLA/USC Utah Arizona State UCF Vandy Stanford/Cal Texas Oregon State Kansas Boston College Half step down airport wise and you get into Nebraska, Ohio State...

the only breakdown of the Farnsworth fight I recognize includes the phrase "racky-tacks him"

I was debating getting a Switch and checking out the new Animal Crossing game but the consoles are sold out everywhere and being sold by scalpers on Amazon for $500+. Lame. When then are available again at normal price I’m heavily considering getting one. Any games recommended for both me and my 4 ...

I don't like the idea of scheduled doubleheaders every week and trying to cram as many games as possible in as short a time frame as possible. That's going to lead to injuries and lesser performance and more variance. Injuries? Probably, that's likely the tradeoff for having something resembling a ...

Maybe I'm dense (probably) but I still don't quite grasp what he's saying when he says the cure can't be worse than the disease. Is he saying that using money to bail out Americans is worse than Americans dying from the virus? They're saying that there's greater human suffering/death in crashing th...

some of those symptoms sound like stress . . . not meaning to make light of it though. I think that's an important reminder. I've had a tickle in my chest that causes a light cough every now and then for just over a week. No other symptoms, and if I pay attention I notice that when I'm focused ther...

So why haven't the people with all the money and resources (Gates, Bezos, Musk, Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, etc.) done anything to step up and fill in the gaps that the Cheeto refuses to fill? From a quick search, Gates has donated $50 million towards developing a vaccine, and up to $50 million more for...

The thing I don't have a good way to wrap my head around(again, assuming that the positive results translate to real world application) is how this potentially changes the collective decision-making framework. If we have an effective treatment and those who do require hospitalization are getting di...

Let's say this is all true, and they've found the correct drug cocktail to effectively treat this virus. What's the turn around time on mass-producing it and making it available on a global scale? I am a dummy when it comes to this stuff, but this wikipedia paragraph would seem to indicate high vol...

I did notice that the eggs and milk cases were empty, but there was back stock on carts in the refrigerator room. They may be stocking items on a schedule I assume this is a national thing since multiple chains around us are doing it, but stores here changed their hours so they can disinfect and th...

I'm having an easily distracted day, so to at least attempt to be helpful I thought I'd put together some unsolicited advice about remote working for those of you who are new to working from home. I hope I've learned a bit from working at a 100% remote org for 7+ years, but as you'll see below your ...

Mental health support and coping: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/managing-stress-anxiety.html https://np.reddit.com/r/COVID19_support/ Anecdotally related to this, try to be aware how your own habits are impacting that stress/anxiety. One of my worst habits is nearly constantly r...

I found this discussion thread pretty interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/fhqd6h/high_temperature_and_high_humidity_reduce_the/fkcrxoa/ Obviously, it's a ton of speculation, but some interesting points are raised about how this virus arguably needs specific sets of societal and e...
