well, we aren't openly sharing with the world.   

I mean we are in a global pandemic.  Handling it poorly.  And we just withdrew from the World Health Org. 

The WHO that botched this from word go and then covered for the CCP?  That WHO?  You people are some self loathing basket cases.  Hell, give it a few years history will be rewritten that America created COVID-19 and had a cure the whole time, but was attempting global genocide.

The WHO had a perfectly working COVID test ready for US (and WE fund WHO).....that we declined.  We made a faulty one that didn't work.  Then had to go back and make one that worked.  But us weeks behind.  But....I guess it didn't matter as we never were actually trying to get on top of it in reality.  Still aren't.  Leadership has largely given up and largely adopted the fug it approach.  Take it on the chin until there is cure approach.  

WHO didn't handle things perfectly.  You aren't going to find that with a global pandemic.  But what you shouldn't find is America still tripping all over there dang feet this far into it.  America deserves a lot more criticism than the WHO at this stage.   That isn't painting WHO as perfect in this.  But America rightfully should be called out.

Okay, I'm done.  Espionage and intellectual property theft is okay in a pandemic.

No, its terrible and I hope someone gets punished.  I'm just hyper focused on some comments that you made that made it sound like we're hiding information and someone improving on something COVID related would be a bad thing.  It just seemed like an odd way of looking at it, given how unique the situation is.

I think there are probably several reasons to keep research like this locked down.  First to protect the work you have already accomplished and make sure it does not get infected itself.

If they are trying to break into the system, then I would let the entire world know it and give them proof.  I would also let them know that we do not mind working hand in hand with anyone to solve this crisis, but to come through the front door please.

In that same episode the reason why that “war” started was because Mr Garrison had a sex change and “wanted to get fuged like a monkey” by the atheist. He then found out that he was actually a dude and poo went down hill.
 

I love South Park, and it’s a really well done show, but don’t use it (especially an episode from 10-15 years ago) to win an argument that science isn’t correct here with Covid 

The point was to show no matter what, groups of people will have their beliefs and think everyone should follow them. That episode showed even when taking away religion(super hot topic in most circles), the world was fighting among themselves.  There where a few cases here along the lines "See this expert said Opposite of what your experts showed ". Irony is I posted that and was immediately attacked(one sorta said sorry). You gave your version of what the episode was and told me not to use that for this topic. Thats enough irony for me til the next virus outbreak.

Speaking about the "experts"

 

It seems are now talking about who gets the vaccine first, you know like in November-January.

If not mistaken, the "experts" were saying 2-4 years.

Never know how it will shake out, so keep your powder dry.  We might break all records by getting something like this or we might fall on our face.  Just make sure you don't make an ass out of yourself by carrying the water for either side.  This thing is what it is and we HOPE it can be something good very soon.  Just don't bet your house on it.

You sir, are a verified idiot.

You and rippadonn are legitimate threats to the future of this country and civilization as a whole.

Everyone in your world seems to be a genius or an idiot.  Most of the folks I know are somewhere in between.

I've been saying this entire thread that a vaccine in early to mid-'21 was very possible. A lot of the groundwork for this vaccine was laid during the original SARS pandemic and we've seen more resources thrown at this vaccine effort than any previous recent vaccine effort. But there's a difference between available and widespread availability. There's not going to be widespread availability of a vaccine this year. Hopefully before cold/flu season of next year.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
