Can't remember the last time I just went to a bar to drink.  Occasionally I'll pull up a seat and have a drink if I'm waiting for a table on a date night but that's about it.  Getting old with kids, saving me from the Rona.

I admit, I miss it. I had no shame about heading to the bar after a crap morning at work and ordering some bar food and a beer or two. Helped me mentally reset for the afternoon most of the time.

Was my "adult timeout". 

Never went out at night anymore though. Definitely too old for that. But sitting at a bar and shooting the ish with strangers to step outside of your life for an hour was something I found cathartic on stressful days.

1, 2 and 6 are the only things that qualify for me. We were originally leaving boxed mail on the porch for 24 hours, but then we stopped doing that. (We live in a pretty rural area. No one would even see our porch to steal something).

I do miss that. Especially in the summer. We had a bar right near where we used to work. That first cold one in an iced mug was heaven.

Devos had to have given Trump a handy to get that job. She has no clue what she is doing or talking about. Guns in schools to fight off grizzly bears will forever be burned in my mind.

She donated a crap ton of money to his campaign and literally bought her spot. She has more money than Trump does.

Is the NFL talking about doing something like the NBA's doing, where they isolate everybody into one or a couple different place?

Only thing those several hospitals messed up were not including the negatives. The positives were accurate.

So the error affected the %positive, not case totals. It's not the scandal they are trying to make it out to be.

Nope. Probably too costly for the NFL given the amount of players/coaches on each team

It may be costly but I don't see how you even try to play a season any other way.

Agreed, I just think its too many hurdles. You need to book roughly 3,200 rooms for 120+ days, that puts you at close to $100M added cost alone when they are already taking significant losses with potentially no fans. There would also be other things like food they would have to have available to all those guys. Then there is hoping everyone actually stays in the bubble. NBA seems to be having trouble with that and they are a fraction of the amount of people living in a bubble.

If they talked about it, I have not heard anything. It might be a good contingency plan. If the NFL would do it, I think they'd have to find 3 or 4 different places to make it work.

The NFL Medical Director or whatever his title is shot it down about a month ago.

English soccer has figured it out so the NFL can as well. The plus they have is they really only have to travel twice a month

True.

She probably said it but I can't find it anywhere. Just like the .02% death rate, she never said that.

Video included. She sounds pretty clueless but that "quote" is also kind of a stretch

I'd say she sounds clueless. Here's even more of the interview.

She even cites where there are good examples in the private sector, front-line workers, and elsewhere, who have guidance on what to do if there's an outbreak. Great! So as Secretary of Education, it is her responsibility is to collect the data and pass it along to schools, so they may understand what to do, so that they may come up with a plan to reopen. DeVos is saying schools must reopen, but she's unwilling to give any guidance to do so. She can't have it both ways. She's not doing her job.

Former game show host Chuck Woolery announced Wednesday his son has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after Woolery accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and President Trump's reelection chances. 

Woolery, who hosted several popular game shows including "Love Connection" and "Wheel of Fortune” and who is a staunch supporter of the president's, has since deleted his Twitter account following the announcement about his son. 

 

Quote

On Sunday Woolery wrote, "The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”

CBS News correspondent Catherine Herridge asked Trump about the retweet in an interview on Tuesday. 

"You reposted a tweet yesterday saying that CDC and health officials are lying. You understand this is confusing for the public. So who do they believe? You, or the medical professionals like Dr. Fauci?” Herridge asked, referring to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci. 

"I didn’t make a comment,” Trump responded. "I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel. But all I am doing is making a comment. I’m just putting somebody’s voice out there. There are many voices. There are many people that think we shouldn’t do this kind of testing, because all we do, it’s a trap.”
