Again here's a direct quote from you: "People are underestimating both the short and long term impact of erasing a year of development outside the home for all kids in the country aged 3-18.  Social, intellectual, physical, everything...it may turn out to be a heck of a lot more damaging than the deaths of 150k people with 5 years left to live"  That is clearly implying that there is likely to be a significant impact.  Spare me the "I'm just trying to look at all the angles" schtick. 

Meanwhile there are literally millions of kids homeschooled at baseline in the US without any evidence that they're developmentally stunted.

Pretty galling a statement like that, coming from someone who allegedly makes a living in the healthcare field — disgusting, really

I'm all for having an honest discussion about the subject.  Schools staying closed or modular will have significant and wide socioeconomic impact on a lot of people. Hell I'm out half my paycheck until the volume in my office reaches a certain threshold and that's not gonna happen any time soon without the late summer school physical exam rush.

But when people make purposefully misleading claims about an emotional topics like children's development to try and prove their point it just bothers the hell out of me.

Is this the football blog?

Who is our PR man this year? Is Scott going to take charge and give us a spark?

8 can't be right.  Did this guy just decide not to include playoff games?  Because he's missed 6 of those due to injury in 3 consecutive seasons (last season was a fluke).  That's where the criticism falls.  I blindly stick up for Wentz at all turns, but this is a dumb tweet.  

I'm guessing he used the same criteria for all of them

Yup, these guys just can't help themselves. Guess what guys, we're not solving the covid virus in here.

Well the NFL top 100 is officially a joke.

We are allowed to make football related posts aren't we?

I think Reagor is the only PR candidate who would actually provide a spark.  Scott would be a guy you put back there.  On the off chance Quez Watkins makes the roster, he also has PR experience.

Anyone else surprised that the pitcher for the Dodgers got 8 games for throwing at the Astros?  Baseball needs to get a grip.  They had to expect that ish was going to happen with the Dodgers. Rather excessive if you ask me.  

Baseball?

We don't need no steenking baseball.

 

NBA is officially back today.

The evidence is accumulating, but there isn't a whole lot of proof out there for any COVID claims.

Step up your game beyond google if you want to educate yourself on it.

We don't know the long-term consequences of cell phones, certain cosmetic procedures, or surviving novel strains of the seasonal flu either.  But no one is shutting anything down on that account.  

You ignoring the impact of COVID on survivors, there is mounting evidence of serious damage to patients sick enough to be hospitalized, lungs, brain, other organs.

The impact on asymptomatic or mild symptomatic patients is still unknown, but something to be concerned with, as a lack of symptoms may reflect merely a mild infection or simply damage that is not obvious in the short-term.

He pulled his calf sitting on the bench, trying to tie his shoe.  Before covid, he had a shoe tying assistant.

That’s something most people (in general, not E45) seem to ignore.

If the dog practiced social distancing this never would have happened.

On a personal note, I have damage to both heart and lungs, courtesy of the virus. Fortunately, thanks to e45,'s direction I have the solution: in the Inuit tradition I will sit on an ice floe and freeze quietly to death.

and apparently if you have your cell phone on you then you'll be feeling some horrific effects from that as well
