You talking Kennedy Assassination or Mass Media? I know mass media. I believe a lot of people just suck up about all the messages they get or that they want to hear. I think a lot of people are way more discerning and logical in their thinking and want to know the facts, sources etc behind a message.

That being said unfortunately there are probably a much higher proportion of the people who just believe what they hear with no thought involved.

Gawd these dudes who cant wait for an issue so they can tote around their guns and confederate flags must be so insecure. And they are all pizzed off at the Mich gov who just threatened to enforce social distancing problems by closing down golf courses and a couple of other types of places. Do these guys play golf with their guns?? I wonder how far they can tee off with an AK47

They're not going to hurt your vag with their guns. Just stay in your house, and you'll be safe.

I think your absolutely right and I don't know the solution. I don't think the issue at this point necessarily revolves around how to keep the players separate from the fans. I think the bigger question is without the proper means of testing in place how do you separate the players from essentially everyone who isn't part of the program. Like everyone else, everyone they come into contact with could be a carrier and they could unknowingly be spreading the virus.

It goes far beyond just the fans. The football players are interacting with coaches, trainers, cafeteria staff, other students (assuming school is back in session) officials, media, etc... all or most of which will not be quarantined. These individuals would most likely have family members as well as other individuals they interact with daily. I simply don't see how you put an athlete in a position in which they aren't exposed to the virus.

Cincinnati unexpectedly discontinued it's men's soccer program yesterday. I know very few care about soccer on here, but its also a fall sport. Their AD stating "widespread uncertainty and budget implications of supporting the number of student athletes at UC" as the primary reason. I think this is just another result of the fears that there's no model in place and no certainty as to how long the revenue sports will be out of commission.

As far as Cincinnati dropping soccer, you are correct. Another factor is schools that are not in a Power 5 Conference do not have the large TV contracts and the money that comes with that. And at a school like this, the loss of the NCAA Basketball Tournament revenue is a huge blow to their finances.

A backtracking hack.
Click to expand...
First of all I didn't backtrack there. I was saying "wait two weeks" because I thought 30,000 deaths would be enough for you to realize it wasn't a common cold. Did you misinterpret what I was saying and think that I meant millions would be dead in 2 weeks?

Also, if you're a "critical thinker" wouldn't you have to backtrack sometimes? Is someone who stands firm in his initial opinion regardless of new data really a "critical thinker"?

I was trying to figure out how many people normally die per day in New York before the coronavirus and came across this stat. In one week in december, at least 300 people died from the flu. Right now there are like 800 per day dying from COVID. That would be 5600 per week or almost 20 times more. There needs to be a pretty damn big miscount to get those numbers close.

But it is just a bad cold or the flu.
So many deaths are fake news.... Sad.
