I picked the wrong week to give up snorting cocaine!

Im the opposite. Home all day means unfettered grazing and beer drinking. Instead of the Freshman 15 I’m just calling it the Covid 19.

Its pretty simple, smoking attacks your respiratory system.

This is a respiratory virus, which attacks, you got it, the respiratory system.

very young, and over 60 is at risk of the virus.

Those elderly over 80 and even more at risk.

Health conditions also make you a risk.

The very young are not at risk at all. I am not sure why you keep saying that.  And even for the young and healthy the risk you end up in the hospital on an incubator is higher than the risk of anyone ending up in the hospital for the flu.  So say you have 1 in 200 chance of ending up in ICU if you are in your 20's.  I mean that is still a significant risk. In fact in Netherlands there are more people under 50 in ICU than over 50.

I’m over 60 but really don’t consider myself high risk.    I’ve never had a sick day at work in 37 years on the job.   

However, my wife had chemotherapy a few years ago and is definitely risk-sensitive, so I’m being very careful so that she won’t worry about me transmitting anything to her.   
 

I dont consider myself at high risk, yet, I have elderly family member that have age and health conditions that make them at high risk.

I also work in an industry that can be done from my home and telecomunting either.

But if you have immune deficiencies like this guy ,you have a greater risk. Also read about some 25 yo ,in I think South Carolina in ICU with no known health problems. Could be an outlier. Or was an unknown until hospitalized.

 

A 21-year-old Spanish soccer coach was killed by the coronavirus while also battling leukemia, according to a report.

A lot of doctors and nurses who are younger are getting it really bad.  Seems like it might be repeated exposures at high rates that rates that might be doing them in.

Many things to learn about this virus. Why the real young seen somewhat immune? 

But in a year maybe or so  we can at least get rid of most of it. Vaccine and treatment. Till the next one.

There will always (repeatedly) be super deadly diseases that truly devastate the population. Like the plague. Viruses are ever-evolving just like every plant and animal. BUT... there will always be some percentage of the population who have some mysterious immunity from it. And they will survive and repopulate.

A second, unnamed Yankees minor-leaguer has tested positive for coronavirus infection, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network (via Twitter). The prior positive test emerged two days ago.

The Yankees and the rest of the league have already halted Spring Training, of course. But this transmission is surely the result of prior interactions between the players.

      Oh, I thought he was talking about the rotation right now.

      Would the Orioles consider Trevor Bauer ?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      No. Better yet ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!  We do we need to take on anything associated with him or take on that kind of pr hit and risk? I hope he gets a shot at redemption … somewhere else. Why can’t we just acquire/trade for a current MLB pitcher who is already good and doesn’t come with baggage? Is that too much to ask?

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      My big issue with him besides the zero defensive value is he's batting .227 and has only 5 doubles which tells me he's probably a mistake hitter. That's a big red flag for me as well when I look at stats, especially lower level guys. Guys with decent home run numbers and low 2B numbers typically are guys who feast on those middle-middle pitches, but are not making consistent hard contact to get those 2B numbers up. Now I'm going off memory here and haven't really watched him a ton this year running, but he's pretty dang slow from what I remember. So now we have a short, slow, 1B/DH who has some ability to make decent swing decisions on Low-A hitters, but hits for a low average and doesn't show a lot of extra base power. So is he a guy that you perhaps follow to see if he's a guy that develops more game power and allows his bat to carry him up the chain? Perhaps. But I just don't know what he would be in the majors besides a right-handed DH if he develops more power. How many are those are now in the game? I mean, perhaps his absolute upside is a Yermín Mercedes type, but I imagine if he is a late bloomer guy who suddenly starts to rake at the upper levels, it will probably be for his 2nd or 3rd organization as those guys typically bounce around.

      2024 Prospect Power Rankings

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Thanks for sharing all of the formula / data prospect trackers, I don’t have the patience to follow them on Twitter so I appreciate the updates here. I do put value in that when projecting offense and they do have data that we don’t have.  RZNJ and Tony have a good point that the robo scout types are generally not going to consider defense (at least not fully), and as everyone knows that’s a massive difference in value for C v. 1B/DH. So for Mordan I’d only really put weight on the robo scout if it said he was a good prospect even as solely a 1B, and I’m guessing he’s not.  I am curious to track development of C like Willems and Mordan because I think any C in the system behind Basallo are prime trade chips. If Mordan has good offensive data but bad defense, seems like a nice guy to try to sell another team on at the trade deadline.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By RVAOsFan · Posted

      I am curious to see what happens with the Astros and Verlander.  Looks like they may be heating up making it irrelevant but if they end up being a seller and he shows he is healthy before the deadline I think Verlander is the guy Elias targets.  I think with our new ownership and low payroll no reason we cannot take on the remainder of that contract and he could be the perfect replacement for Bradish.
