    The "threads associated with it"  are the same threads that are associated with it every single year, no matter who has been the commissioner.  In fact, I was reminded and advised by Darren (who I think ran things last year) to include  a "pick by team" thread and a "pick by position" thread, in addition to the pick thread and the discussion thread.  

    Why didn't you choose to participate? 

    Because I didn't want to?

    Just lazy, or something else?  I don't recall if you have done so in the past.

    I have not participated in the past.

    I don't have any interest I suppose would be the reason.

    And it looks like the hoarders are finally getting the message at the grocery stores.  Stock is improving.... Except for one product.  

    LOL, a little FYI- Charmin's main plant in Pennsylvania is still open, is cranking out product 24\7 by the trainload, and employs 2,200 workers. Even got some of their mothballed idled equipment up and running.  🙂  Looks like the great TP Scare of 2020 will soon be over.

    Then again, how many "regular" people can even get tested for it yet?

    Probably no more than regular folk. And what about athletes?   Its just that they are the ones you hear about. ...or, like Dutch said, they are the ones that can go get private testing. 

    Now, even Prince Charles has it.   And he is certainly in the "concern group" just because of his age which is 71.

  • There have been 9 in our town and 19 in the county which is only those tested and confirmed. We are now on stay at home orders in this county as well as Travis county S of us with Austin part of that. If those 9 infected 10 each and on and on, there was good reason to place the lock-down. True number is unknown.

  • Still one case here in home county, but things are heating up all around us... especially to the east in Louisiana where the current rate of case rise is reported to be the highest seen in the world to date.

    Happy Mardi Gras! Hey, Babe! Show me your virus!

    Virus was even being transmitted via beads...

  • Was it true that Texas was slow to take this seriously? 

    I thought I heard - and correct me if I'm wrong - that Texas still had restaurants and bars open recently?

    Most counties are still open but mine is not. We can get takeout from restaurants, but otherwise travel is limited to essential only. We had planned a bluebonnet viewing trip this morning, but the limitations were put on by the county judge last night starting at midnight. With my luck we would have been stopped and fined driving through one of the podunk towns in the west side of the county on our way to the hill country bluebonnets. We will just have to walk over to the church about 4 blocks away where they have a huge open area full of them. You are allowed out to walk or bicycle as long as you maintain social distance of 6 ft or more.

    I'm not near a major population center like Ag is, but even here in The Piney Woods of the East Texas Hill Country our local gov'ts have been taking this pretty seriously for quite a while.

    In addition to the minimum stuff like handwashing, distancing, group size, etc... schools have been closed for nearly 2 weeks... churches have suspended services and other gatherings... most businesses are closed or running on reduced staffs with telecommuting, e.g., my wife goes into her office, but handful of co-workers are well spread out and the front door is locked to visitors... restaurants are take out only... etc.

    And all the above is in light of only one confirmed case in the county with just under 300 tests in to date.

    Mayor is still keeping the big gun, mandatory stay at home, in reserve for now, but he's already announced he will not hesitate to use it at the first sign of spread. In fact was ready to a couple days ago when all signs were that we had a 2nd case looming, but results were negative.

    Now the population here in Trump Country? Different matter... very split. Many don't get the fuss... others think we're reacting appropriately... and some even think we need to go further.

    Side Note: Many restaurants that have not seen enough carry out business are selling out their fresh food inventory at reasonable prices.
