Nonetheless, we should be cautious when making policy based on the current data. I find it funny that you talk shit about Governor Kemp's decision making when only 1% of the state has been confirmed to have Covid while New York is double that. Additionally, the death rate for confirmed cases in GA is 2.6% while New York comes in at roughly 7.8%. Again, take these numbers with a grain of salt as the "problem" is not as dire as you are lead to believe. Heck, you got FL reporting confirmed cases of people that came in contact with a person who tested positive, yet all those people were not even tested. I know of a handful of people that have received "positive" results yet they never actually got tested to begin with. See, but this data is very fearful. I would rather be in New York at the moment because the rate at which cases are rising is very low. However, in the other states pictured, the graph is almost exponential. And honestly, I would rather trust the available data than the "presumed" false positive tests. Even if there were significant discrepancies, it would not greatly change the overall trend shown in the graph. I am worried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it must be taken into consideration that this article was written on June 3rd, much earlier than this giant wave of cases began its ascent. This could have been used as justification prior to mid-June, but I'm certain enough that there cannot be THAT many misreported cases that are finally being piled on now to give the impression of exponentially-growing case numbers. It was a good article, but the publishing date makes it a little less accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the misinterpretation. But at the rate cases are rising, do you really think that there is so much misrepresentation to the point that it is made to seem like an exponential growth in cases when it reality it's still constant or slowed growth? I highly doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hilarious that you're quoting numbers and not talking about how much the rates are actually rising in your state as of today. Try dealing in reality and current information as of today instead of some random overall percentile and quoting old articles that don't reflect the current rise. Rates are awful and rising down South and Southwest. The rates in NY and NJ have gone way down and that's why you can only come to our safe zone if you quarantine responsibly for 14 days if you want the privilege of being allowed to visit here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the real fatality is a fraction of what is being reported, do you suggest we forever live in fear while making drastic changes that will have cause much further damage than the virus itself? Are we suppose to wear mask for eternity? Eliminate social events forever? Cancel school forever? I say no. You're entitled to your opinion, but I respectfully disagree.

But I do believe a lockdown would help. The goal is to limit the virus and to not let it control our lives. However, we must be willing to sacrifice temporarily. A lockdown has proven to reduce case numbers, and I believe that another lockdown could help do the same. We cannot expect this virus to go away on its own. For every benefit one must like, they must sacrifice. I'm sure there's a Bible verse somewhere about that but I'm not Christian. We should not live forever in fear. However, temporary fear may be our only option to help save our country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went down to Lowndes for the state semifinal game, I remember looking out the window after we passed Atlanta and I only saw cotton fields (miles of them). There were just trees and the occasional building or high school, but it mainly just felt like driving through a countryside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I never heard of that school or league that the kid is transferring to. It may be a smart move if he actually wants to play ball though. That league will be governed internally and not a part of the GHSA, that I assume will be a miracle if they actually play a normal season if these numbers don't start slowing down. Fuck those charts. They are complicated. Best to look at confirmed per 100k by county, which you'll see Colquitt, Brooks and Lowndes are some of the hottest counties, and having read through this thread you may also understand why that is, and also just simply the confirmed case numbers. Another important one to watch is hospitalization numbers. As those rise and the hospitals become inundated again, so to will the deaths rise. Idk what that school will do for the kid development-wise. Totally obscure league and school. It has to be something else that caused him to make that move than any of the normal reasons like exposure and development by the iron sharpens iron methodology. May just simply be having a legit chance to play this season at all, or, maybe the parents sent him off for some reason that we could never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that, it has no meaning to me. The only reason I remembered that train station for Secaucus was because of the NBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngdawg Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 There are so many places this transfer could have gone where he could be recognized. McEachern and North Gwinnett come off the top of my head because both teams don't have quality quarterbacks. He could have also gone to a rising 7A program, like Denmark or Harrison. Seems like an odd choice to pick a no-name school to play football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
