Stir Crazy! #15: No Time To Play: COVID-19 Hits Sports Hard

1. Regarding COVID-19 crisis, take this brief but important article by the excellent Kevin Ryan, " Has COVID-19 Testing Made the Problem Worse? ", April 8, 2020, https://digwithin.net/2020/04/08/covid-19-testing. Quote, with a little omitted from the beginning, plus the rest, " Concerns about the virus SARS-COV-2 that causes the disease called COVID-19 have centered around reported mortality rates. However, errors in reporting those rates have led to confusion …. … Errors in reported mortality rates have come from mistakes in calculation. … ". This will very likely make your mind spin. And here's a slightly earlier article by him that's not the same topic but is definitely related, " More Will Die from the Response to COVID-19 Than From the Virus ", March 31, 2020, https://digwithin.net/2020/03/31/covid.

2. The Question is the Answer: a philosophical stream of consciousness https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083HHFS9V/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_unDDEb605CG06

3. I find it hard to believe entities like corporation (owned by billionaires), the US government who tell me they care about we the public when they have shown time and time again they don't. By their policies you can always see who they care and cater too.

4. @35:44 – 36:00 !!!!

5. Sport is considered non essential, as sport does not support life, also sports injuries can take beds in hospitals public and private. I consider walking out to the pub a sport, but have to live with the fact that the pubs are all closed.
   Get used to it until times allow.

6. Automatic thumbs up for Supreme Clientele joint on the wall!! 👍🏾

7. a dose of reality for everyone: RITINITIS IS THE COMMON COLD, INFLUENZA IS THE FLU, THE THING THAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON WITH THIS EFFING COVID 19 IS THE SAME THING THEY HAVE IN COMMON WITH HIV, THEY ARE ALL A VIRUS FUCK! LOOK IT UP ON HARVARD MEDICAL BEFORE MAKING YOURSELF LOOK STUPID PLEASE! for trnn: WTH?? Where's our PAR reminder?!

8. I have to disagree. The reaction to this virus is way, way overplayed; and damn if the liberals aren't playing into it.
   Of course they smear the protesters as the unwashed, racist and ignorant deplorables.
   Here we go with the identity politics.
   On most things I disagree with the conservatives, but on this issue, I gotta agree…..
   These folks ( liberals in general) love this shut-down; they can stay home, work, get pay-checks, have their food delivered…
   It is like a vacation for them..
   I very admire David Zirin's work; and really don't care for Trump
   But trashing Trump at all times, even when he makes good points, is totally, irresponsible.
