    But, it can still thrive indoors.   And if someone breathes on you who has it, even if you are in the sun, you could still get it. 

    of course. 

    We have had a relatively low number of cases considering the population.  Maybe it’s because of the weather.  In my opinion social distancing and staying at home aren’t being followed that closely here.

    Sweden didn't really ever do any social distancing - and they never locked anything down, and have barely any deaths, etc. Gee.

    Really?  Nearly double the death rate in the US: 

    https://www.newsweek.com/sweden-coronavirus-rate-1501250

    As of today, 2462 people have died there, a much higher number than the neighboring countries of Norway (207), Finland (206) or Denmark (443).

    If you can believe ANY of the stats. The US is allowed to attribute CV deaths withOUT any testing or verification. The standards are basically "Well, if you think their symptoms are 'close enough' to CV, then count the death as CV." Only problem is, the flu and pneumonia would have the same symptoms, so who knows the real death count of CV in the US? There is so much bull s---t going on.

    Well then, that would make it worse for Sweden then, wouldn't it.   If you think the US's numbers are somewhat inflated....that would mean then that Sweden could have far more than double the rate of the US.

    You mean Walsh, Gibbs,  Lombardi.      Well, this is just a "counting" stat,   not a quality stat.     I will follow up with a thread on this subject.

  • Here is today's Trivia Question,  which may in fact be harder than you think, so I may keep it up a couple of days:

    In NFL history,    Only  12 players have made  1st Team  All Pro  8 or more times.     

    Name as many as you can.

    Hints to help you:    1. There are NO QBs on the list   2. All are retired, all are in the PFHOF

    Bonus question:   There are, however, 2 QBs  who have been named  1st team All Pro    7 times.   Name these two. 

  • 1. Deacon Jones, Randy White, Jerry Rice, Reggie White, Ronnie Lott, plus there has to be a center, LB maybe two in the mix.

    2. Bart Starr ?, Roger Staubach

    Plus the 2 QBs for part B.

    I assume these are answers to question  A.    These are all correct, in fact, you had one in there that I missed completely. So, the actual number is 13, not 12.  Thanks
