Listen...you're new here. You showed up right around the draft and started defending this kid out of Nevada, which makes me believe you either are him or the family (most likely)...it happens regularly. Thank you for joining the conversation. Most of us have been around a long time, and have seen some ****. It's the "NFL body type with an injury history so he fell to the later rounds" thing that is HIGHLY suspicious because we have seen it so many times before..... most notably with Rashaun Simonise a few years ago.
Nobody is saying FOR SURE that Orange isn't going to pan out......it's just that there's sufficient evidence to be highly skeptical until proven otherwise.
It's already happening. Even in my small town here, everyone is out on this Saturday, completely disregarding social distancing practices. I went to CT to get some lawn fertilizer stuff and it was a circus. I got in and got out but it was a heroic effort to try and avoid people. Idiots who won't get it until we look like Italy with dead bodies everywhere...
I'm petrified. Very happy to be somewhat secluded in a small town north of the real problem (Calgary). My wife's mother is in a long term care home in South Calgary (she has a very advanced MS) and thankfully she's safe so far, but we worry non stop. Wife wants to visit her for Mothers Day, but I don't want any part of going into the city...
fwiw, Alberta is talking about opening up this summer for some classes, but they're going to work with the school boards now to formulate a plan as to what that might look like, exactly. But it's something they're at least willing to consider, if numbers stay relatively low.
I'm not as concerned about the kids learning as I am about the kids creating a giant petri dish at school and bringing God-only-knows-what home, and then it spreads like tinder fire. If we can keep everyone locked away and keep things from spreading, that is far more of a concern to me. But, I say that as someone who (thank Christ....) doesn't have kids at home.
high school friend of mine living in Italy reports that, starting Monday, they'll be allowed to leave their houses without a government note for the first time in 70 days. And people in Canada think they've got it bad....
