Super Duper Negatron

Aaargh! Another reason to part ways with my money: https://www.bluebombers.com/2020/06/01/bombers-unveil-107th-grey-cup-champions-licence-plates/ Edit: just realizing now I literally bought my Manitoba parks pass (with my current license plate number) yesterday. Double aaargh!

"If we had sheltered in place we wouldn't have Woodstock" might just be the "ok boomer" to end them all.

The fact that the president thinks its the job of a news organization to "help" a political party get elected is a huge problem.

Am I missing something, or wouldn't the whole point of hub cities be to play the games without fans?

I don't know. I despise Trump, but I feel like fat-shaming him is kind of crappy, and should be beneath someone who is trying to convince voters that their party is better. Especially since the left tends to eat their own...it is full of voters that would be turned off by that sort of comment, and anything that might give Trump a better chance at winning in the fall is a bad thing, IMO.

No new cases in Winnipeg since May 10. Either the number of asymptomatic spreaders walking around isn't as high as people say, or we are rocking this social distancing thing.

"I want one of those Bomber plague masks" is not a sentence I would have predicted uttering a few short months ago.

Watch Middleditch and Schwartz on Netflix. Do it now. My face hurts from laughing so hard.

Curious about your thoughts on swine flu?

I mean, compare the two statements: "thanks to some f--king bat" "thanks to some f--king bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards" Hint: the bat is not the subject in the second version. Had he posted the first one, this is a non-issue.

That...is really bad. What was he thinking?

We need sports back soon. I am losing it.

I also watched highlights of the 13th man Grey Cup. Lost in all the hilarity of the final play was the fact that the Riders blew a giant 4th quarter lead in that game. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

There is not a single Calgary highlight in the second half of that game.

Stamps aren't even in that game if they aren't gifted the first 2 TDs. Just watched the 4th quarter of the Grey Cup. This has been said so many times in so many ways, but what an absolute **** kicking. Demski, Harris, Jefferson and Jeffcoat were in another league in that game. That drive in the middle of the 4th quarter was when I finally unclenched and started enjoying it. #BaileysTDWasACatch

This CBC interview with a supposed sports economist is terrible. "If you're telling me that Ambrosie's being honest about losing $20 million last year, then $150 million is seven years of loses," he said. "Why do you need a decade worth of losses now?" WTF is that? Economist my ass. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/football/cfl/cfl-funding-pandemic-1.5563123

Wait, so you mean the Democrats launched an investigation without knowing 100% what they would find? *looks up dictionary definition of investigation* Sounds right to me?

Sweden's argument has always been they have the capacity to handle a huge spike, unlike other jurisdictions. I have no idea how true that is.

I lost track about what you guys are even arguing about anymore. Is it whether or not Trump is scum that has been accused of more and worse than Biden has? He is. Is it whether the Democrats and left leaning news media are being hypocritical? They are. Is it whether or not any of this will matter on election day? It won't. The whole thing sucks, and makes you depressed as a human that our choice of people in power, more often than not, boils down to who might be less of a human trash bag.

The success or failure of Sweden's strategy can't be measured in today's numbers. The deaths were always going to be higher in Sweden earlier on. The real test will be 6 months or a year from now. Remember, flattening the curve was never about a lower overall death count, it was about spreading that number over a longer period to avoid overwhelming the health care system. If the health care system can handle the higher early spike in hospitalizations, in theory, Sweden would be able to go back to normal earlier than everyone else, with little to no difference in overall mortality. It is a hell of a gamble, though.

Obligatory:

Am I stupid in thinking the timing of increased testing and phase 1 essentially happening at the same time are going to throw off the numbers? I feel like they should have run with the increased testing as a baseline for a while first.

Trump will win. People are that dumb. I have no faith in humanity at this point.

What is more likely? That there is a coordinated conspiracy theory orchestrated by literally every country in the world to oversell the severity of covid-19, or that sometimes a crackpot is just a crackpot? I know my vote.

It never gets old does it?
