  1. We could. But it would take something we lack as a country, any sense of resolve or unity.
  2. I disagree. It would take six weeks of EVERYONE wearing a mask, social distancing, not going to bars or restaurants, maybe staying home all together. But it’s been done in many other countries. We just don’t have the political will to do it here.
  3. Are the borders open if you accept a two week quarantine? Or restricted to essential business?
  4. “You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I’m wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.”
  5. And call waiting. I had an older sister who loved the phone, it was nice to sometimes get a message that a friend had called.
  6. I missed the cookie rest stop on the Altoona-State College MS150. Dragged my friend the last 20 miles for 100 mile day with no cookies.
  7. Probably. When I went to Flèche Wallonne, Laurens Ten Dam rode from 80 miles away from his home to the start line, and then home after the race. These distances mean nothing to these guys.
  8. They’re saying it’s just a 6% undecided electorate. I’m surprised it’s even that high.
  9. NFL doesn’t have the luxury of doubling up games like MLB could. If the Titans can’t play this weekend, when would the rescheduled game be played?
  10. But if he’s no longer psychologically disturbed, because he’s not high, what would you want them to do? If he’s calm, not hallucinating, not delusional, not depressed, not suicidal, not aggressive or threatening. How long should he be held in a hospital, against his will, due to his potential to smoke PCP when he gets out?
  11. As far as I can tell, the laws are written in the State Capital, not this ER. I’d be more understanding of the anger if he were seeking treatment and was refused/turned away. But it seems pretty clear that any evaluation that was done was involuntary, so if he no longer met dangerousness criteria for admission because the drugs wore off, there’s not an option for continued involuntary treatment. Is it a broken system because you can’t force drug treatment over refusal? Absent a court ordered program related to other criminal charges, that is.
  12. A little reading shows that Mr. Prude’s brother called the police for dangerous behavior displayed while high on PCP, requesting an involuntary psychiatric evaluation. This quote suggests that if he sobered up/came down during the assessment, that New York State law makes discharge the appropriate decision. If so, the protestors are effectively asking the hospital to violate his civil rights and keep him in the hospital against his will beyond the assessment of his sobriety. "Those people cannot be held against their will once they are back to their baseline and are no longer exhibiting behaviors that were in question," Dr. Mary Marrocco, medical director of Behavioral Health and Emergency and Consult Services at Rochester Regional Health, told the station.
  13. Don’t forget the Browns fans.
  14. I keep scanning in at a cool 86 degrees Fahrenheit each morning, so I know I and my fellow employees are very safe. Although a coworker did report a sore throat last week, and was out a few days waiting Covid test results. fortunately negative.
  15. They make us. I went out and came back in and they insisted I get a new, clean mask.
  16. No, it was purposeful. Protesters upset with the treatment of Daniel Prude who was seen there for mental health issues, released, and dead after a police altercation later that night. Was Mr. Prude requesting treatment and was discharged over his protest? I’ll assume the medical rationale for that decision hasn’t been released and therefore isn’t known to these protestors?
  17. Look a lot like mine? A new mask at work every day, that I don’t remove until I get to my car at the end of the day.
  18. I agree, particularly at a medical center where people are already in crisis. Unless that was an unintended consequence of protesting at City Hall, with the crowd size spilling over to block a garage of a nearby facility?
  19. I’m glad to see this is about South Korea. To the north, they just shoot immigrants to avoid infection risk.
  20. I have one credit card that I believe has a $30,000 limit. There’s no way that I could max that out and pay the mortgage, regardless of whether or not I or my wife kept or lost our jobs. So I tend to see credit scores as a response that you HAVEN’T maxed out your limits, not that how you’d handle it if you did?
  21. Really? I’ll root for my team first, against my division second, and against my Conference third.
  22. Isn’t your credit score the most important factor in securing a loan rate? Credit scores don’t seem to be impacted poorly by unused credit availability, aiui.
