Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.
 
Don’t touch your eyes
Just hand sanitize quicklyyyyy
I’m just a poor boy, no job security
Because of easy spread, even though
washed your hands, laying low
I look out the window, the curve doesn’t look flatter to me, to me
 
mama, just killed a man
i didn’t stay inside in bed
I walked by him, now he’s dead
mama, life was so much fun
but now I’ve caught this unforgiving plague
 
mama, oooooh
didn’t mean to make them die
if I’m not back to work this time tomorrow
carry on, carry on as if people didn’t matter
 
too late, my time has come
sends shivers down my spine
body’s aching all the time
goodbye everybody, I’ve got the flu
gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
 
mama, oooooh
I don’t wanna die
I sometimes wish I never went out at all
 
 
I see a little silhouette of a man
what a douche, what a douche
did he even wash his hands though
security is tightening 
very very frightening me
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low (gotta lay low)
Gotta lay low masturbate
Masturbate O O O O
 
 
I’m just a poor boy, facing mortality
HE’S JUST A POOR BOY FACING MORTALITY
spare him his life from this monstrosity
Touch your face, wash your hands, will you wash your hands?
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
BISMILLAH NO WE WILL NOT WASH  OUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS)
BISMILLAH WE WILL NOT WASH YOUR HANDS! (WASH YOUR HANDS!)
WASH YOUR HANDS! (never, never, never wash your hands oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
No no no no no
Oh mama mia, mia (mama mia wash your hands!)
COVID-19 has a sickness put aside for me, for me
 
 
So you think you can stop me and just shake my hand? 
So you think we can hang out and not break our plans? 
Oh baby, can’t do this with me, baby,
Just gotta stay home, just gotta stay home with my fever
oooooh
 
Curving can get flatter
Anyone can see
Curving can get flatter
Curving can get flatter, you’ll see
Just look out your windows….
 
 
 
FLATTEN THE CURVE

FLATTEN THE CURVE

2800 new U.S. cases today, putting us on track to exceed Italy's trajectory.
 
Great Again™!

As you read toward the bottom of that article you'll note the various governments tracking everyone for "contact purposes," and Trump just suspended all HIPAA restrictions "for telepresence purposes." Being someone that works directly in the healthcare IT infrastructure, there was zero need to remove HIPAA for telepresence. I'm not a conspiracy person, but the removal of HIPAA sure smells a whole lot like given full capability of tracking people now in the USA.

You're right, though it was finally confirmed half an hour ago.  $30M per season.
 
Cam's unhappiness is not a rumor, at least not according to his social media accounts.  Lots of teams out there that could use him, if he can pass a physical.

Not even Coronavirus can stop the NFL!
 
So the Cardinals fleece the Texans for maybe the best WR in football, while Vikings get a 1st rounder for Stephon Diggs who is good, but not even the best WR on his team.  The Bills may be sensing weakness from the Patriots and are going for it all.
 
Raiders are getting the most average QB in the NFL - Marcus Mariota.

Quoth the Parrot, "Morrisey"

Yeah, in baseball I always pull against the team, who gets 3 offensive corner outfielders, and then remember one has to play center.  Always feel proper respect must be made to defense
 
The basketball equivalent is with the Rockets.  (and with analytics always looking for that "market inefficiency",  it looks the big man who gets double figure rebounds has become the underappreciated, sadly.  Between the Rockets experiment, and Drummond being dumped for the return of a used sink)

Apparently, Dracula Parrots Are A Thing And They Might Be The Most Gothic Birds On Earth


 

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the Politics thread....
 
Fans rip Garth Brooks for Barry Sanders jersey, thinking it was for Bernie Sanders
 
This was at a concert IN DETROIT, mind you....

So many things wrong with this, but this response in particular is noteworthy... 
 
 

My brother sent me this. Thought it would be appreciated here.
 
 

Err, 17 game season???  Doesn't that mean that half the teams get an extra home game thus giving them an incredible advantage?!?!
 
Home team wins between 55 and 60 percent of the time

...unless the Commissioner's office uses this as justification for having every team in the league play a neutral-site game in a foreign land (England, Mexico, Ontario, etc.) every season. That would still give each team 8 home games.

Ratings and money. 

It's PETA...(faux) pearl clutching is all that matters to those [BLEEP]ing hypocrites.

Andy Reid is no longer the winningest coach in the NFL without a Super Bowl ring.
 
Congratulations, coach!

YES, the 49ers are denied!
 
I was a Elway Broncos fan back in the day. The petty bitterness lingers

Yeah, for 55 minutes, San Francisco looked like they had it in the bag.

So, either keep Winston, or be dumb enough to pay the Prescott asking price.

Whoever I pull for will lose.  Sorry, Chiefs, I just cant pull for SF.

Thanks for the suggestion, I enjoyed a great deal

NPCs by Drew Hayes
 
Like I've said, I likes me some escapism. This is a book that looks at what happens to our game worlds when the PC's TPK.
 
Good cast of characters, some nice inside jokes for gamers.  

5th edition really simplified the game to the point where normals could play it.
 
Additionally, the original players had enough time to grow up, raise families and have kids that were now old enough to play it with them.
 
Add to that the absolute smashing success that Critical Role turned into and it exploded beyond anyone's expectations.

The current resurgence in popularity of D&D has been helped by this weird interest in watching the game streamed online. It somehow became a spectator sport, and maybe having one or two celebrities (actors) associated with the game helped that a little bit as well. If there were regular live twitch streams of Champions being played that were of the caliber of, say, Critical Role, then maybe it would pick up some momentum. It would at least get some exposure.
