Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good. -
Just read the article linked below. Numerous experts on COVID-19 stats tout the benefit experienced by SK of mass testing. The article is long and detailed. It explains why testing isn't coming anytime soon - lack of components, test kits and reagents contributes. Moreover, the FDA basically relaxed all standards for developing test kits, throwing up their hands and saying, do what ever. That produces test kits that are prone to error.
But, lack of testing may not be the problem it has been thought to be in getting the kind of data required to inform public health policy. It seems, despite my own personal doubts about the restrictive nature of CDC's screening protocols for the test, it may be exactly what works. It's complicated but the bottom line is you end up doing a lot of bad things by not restricting who get's tested. The article makes a lot of sense but leaves me with this question: If the epidemiologists are saying test- test- test to improve the reliability of data that informs public health policy but you can't or shouldn't test everybody, where does that leave the evolution of responsible public health policy?
I'd answer this way: We have a good idea of what the CFR is - even though it's a rough estimate. We know, to a certain reliability rate, what the age stratified risk is of getting the disease. We know how many people and infected person is likely to infect someone else. With a decent idea of those things in hand, it seems to me one could do a decent predictive model, albeit with it's limitations, of the point at which the risk of returning low risk workers, as measured by the likelihood they might die or contribute to death of others, to their jobs is lower than the risk of continuing harsh mitigation and containment measures harmful to unemployment numbers.
My take on this subject is that you are never going to have perfect data and that's something that harms a good many business decisions that search for it before moving forward on business decisions. We may be in a similar place. In the current shit-sandwich, you have to make your best guess and hope it's the right one.
Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.Comment

And therein lies another distinction with the flu I heard today. In the instances people require hospitalization for the flu, most are discharged within 3-4 days. With this we are talking closer to two weeks, even if not in an ICU.
But to offer up some rare GOOD news, it was revealed today that COVID-19 is not mutating much as it makes its way through the population.

That's true. However, -- and I'm no scientist -- it's meeting no resistance. There's no need to change up the gameplan. It's scoring every time it has the ball. It's like Ryan Day going against a Don Brown defense.But to offer up some rare GOOD news, it was revealed today that COVID-19 is not mutating much as it makes its way through the population.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

IF the season is cancelled, then they should simply push back all of the games one year instead of skipping ahead to 2021.Comment

Around Columbus where I live gas seems like it's been frozen at around $1.90-$2.00 for weeks even while oil kept falling. Out in more rural eastern Ohio about $1.65 is more typical. Today I saw it for $1.39 for the first timeComment

On Feb 19 Atalanta played Valencia in Milan in an important Champions league game. Medical authorities now believe thousands may have been infected at that match and it's probably the reason why Bergamo and Valencia are two the most hard-hit cities in Europe.
