Yea i figured you understood where i was coming from. I was a young adult in the 90s and that was the last time we were somewhat free. I was just wondering if our international brothers and sisters on here were seeing the same things i am. I don't like the panic and chaos the Media is inducing across this country and can see how it is being used to manipulate the masses. This is the best place for me to get honest opinions from folks i respect on how its affecting them outside of what is being shown on TV. To be honest - US media routinely doesn't show the rest of the world in the best light. It wasn't till i was able to travel internationally that i was really able to see how overall good and peaceful other countries are. But they are shutting down entire countries based off of single-digit deaths??? That doesn't smell right to me. Especially considering there have been bigger more deadlier outbreaks of TB 2 yrs ago that didn't have anywhere near this response. Then all these CEO's stepping down and selling off stocks a couple of months prior to the outbreak. My SpiderSense been tingling like crazy this entire time. The irony is that sitting back watching all this series and movies. This is the exact plot in majority of them.

Yep and my ability to read and Medical Doctor Brother and my Doctor. There have been tons of examples throughout recent history in regards to the "Powers that Be" not being upfront or purposely misleading with information. I am not sure of other countries but United States has a very long history of manipulating their population. Asking questions and doing your own research is the approach i take to everything. Healthy Skepticism can keep you alive. Besides the information i posted came straight from CDC website. I don't know why anyone would blindly trust the Mainstream Media in this day and age. For example during one of our playoff series there was flooding around small sections of the MidSouth. But during the broadcast they kept overhyping it so much that outside people were calling me to ask if we had been flooded out. It was like 1 neighborhood effected but the way the Media emphasized it you would've thought we were hit by Katrina. So i am just saying be skeptical and do your own research outside of mainstream media and Gov't press clips. I mean haven't ya'll watched any movies before??? Gov't are never fully forthcoming during these times.

Nah my Doctor is in extremely good health and been practicing for 40+ years. He understands science and biology and how Viruses work. He understood greatest danger was to people who smoked or had respiratory issues beforehand. Something majority of the population don't. Also you don't treat viruses and bacteria the same way. he recommended boosting your immune system with your diet and nutrition to prevent even catching it. Which is why he was frustrated by the entire thing and saw the problems coming before they did. They didn't have test back when Media was telling people to get tested. They didn't have protocols given to them when Media was telling everyone to go to see their Doctor for every little symptom. If you actually read the CDC reports on Flu vaccines you would know that the vaccinations never protect you from the current strain anyway. Nothing man-made is more powerful than your own immune system. Problem is majority of ours are compromised. Quote from CDC Vital Statistics Guidelines in regards to diagnosing COVID-19 deaths https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvss/vsrg/vsrg03-508.pdf "In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.” In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19 infection was likely. However, please note that testing for COVID–19 should be conducted whenever possible." This is why the stats can't be trusted when it comes to deaths and why Scientists are not all in agreement on the severity of the situation. Once again i believe the virus is real but i do not believe everything being reported about it (even its origin).

Google has illegally captured all data on all of us. What do ya'll think they are doing with that or why do you think they need it? Gov't have been contracting private companies for years to circumvent the human rights laws. Of course they are going to make it seem harmless. Don't fall for it.

No i do get it and i am extremely frustrated that they already do it. However, there are still thin laws in place that prevent them from utilizing that information against you criminally (for now) without the proper warrants. Those restrictions are being stripped away. Are you aware that if you are accused of being a terrorist in US you can be detained without trial indefinitely!?!?! That clear violation of Constitution was part of the Patriot Act. Obama used that law to lock up countless so called Whistleblowers. Once again clear violation of our rights. As a Black Man i would think you would be the last person that is okay with this. Your ancestors were consistently victimized by the Governing Authorities abuse of laws. Nixon created the "War on Drugs" to incarcerate Blacks (in his own words). Using similar tactics that are being deployed today during this "crisis". I am telling ya'll this ain't simply about some virus. Please pay attention to the civil liberties and Constitutional rights being taking away. All in the name of "Protecting Us".

Apathy is the fuel for taking away your freedoms. So i guess you would be cool with all our agencies having ability to record and tap your Phone without a warrant. Police randomly stopping and confiscating your property. This isnt stuff you want to take lightly.

100% agree - i went in for physical when this first popped off. My doctor was super irritated at the entire thing because there were no protocols AND regardless he emphasized there is no cure for Viruses. You just let them run there course. Best thing to do is boost your immune system and self quarantine. Testing isnt gonna do anything (his words). This thing is pure unadulterated fearmongering.

On Topic i just finished 3rd Season of Ozark and Dang that was good! May check out Tiger King next WestWorld Season 3 has it back on the upswing again. Extremely relevant themes in that show to what we are seeing today (Mass Data Collecting is the Shows BogeyMan). I am about to call it quits on Walking Dead - been watching out of more loyalty than enjoyment for a few seasons now.

I personally don't trust majority of the information being put out there by Media and the Govt. It has been mentioned by several "reputable" outlets that the Test isn't even that accurate. Tons of false positives and negatives. There also has been misleading information by attributing deaths to COVID-19 when that wasn't the factor. I am not saying the virus isn't real - I am just saying that in a rush to be "First" and gain "Views" a lot of the real information has been tainted. That is why a large segment of the population are not taking it seriously. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/03/the-accuracy-of-covid-19-tests.html The accuracy of the current COVID-19 tests is not precisely known. Reasonable estimates, based on test performance in China and the performance of the influenza tests, are that the tests will correctly identify around 60 percent of the patients with the disease and correctly identify 90 percent of the patients that are disease-free. Assume that the physician thinks there is a 50 percent of the patient having COVID-19. Given the above numbers, if the patient has the disease, the test will be positive 85 percent of the time. Fifteen percent of the infected patients will incorrectly be diagnosed as not having the disease. If the patient does not have the disease, only 70 percent of the patients will have a negative test. It would take four consecutive negative tests to conclusively prove the patient did not have the disease. Just as people should not demand a prescription for a medication based on TV ads, they should not seek unnecessary medical tests. Physicians and patients need to discuss whether any test, including the COVID-19 test, needs to be ordered and the ramifications of the results. Policymakers need to define the importance of testing in their plans. People need to Pay more attention to stuff like this https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/tech/coronavirus-google-data-sharing-intl-scli/index.html Google to release your location data to help fight coronavirus pandemic By Amy Woodyatt, CNN Business That is a pretty clear violation of our Constitutional rights is it not? Don't be so scared of what the left hand is doing that you don't see the right hand forming a fist.

Stro prob would have been much more successful in the modern NBA with this team. But he still wouldn't have been a star unless he could hit 3s.

I making my proclamations based off knowledge off of both of their playstyles. Remember i was suggesting they trade for Justise before they actually did it. If fully healthy and given time to develop chemistry with the other 4 guys. Justise raises the ceiling of that group higher than Kyle can and that should be all we care about. Man now i am falling back into BBallDepression again now that you mentioned the not playing again........

Thanks bud! That was a great interview. I've heard the same thing as well. Getting fully past flu season will help tremendously.

Oh gotcha. I misread that. Its the underlying health issues that cause to escalate so quickly. Smokers are at extremely high risk because their lungs are already compromised. Majority of cases where non-elderly die is because they are smokers.

They don't have to "fear" Justise shooting ability for him to be effective spacer. They just need to respect it enough to come out of the paint. I know u understand the difference. Kyle will have to dramatically change his form for that to ever be the case. His wind up is so slow that even Trae Young was agile enough to block the 6'8' w/7'2wingspan dudes shot!?!? So its not even good enough for him to just simply shoot more for teams to respect him. The SL took a nose dive production-wise before Jaren got hurt. The 8-1 record was a mirage due to the fact that it was spread out over a span of games so opponents didn't gameplan for it. Once it became defacto its success rate dropped off a cliff. Kyle's presence also negatively effect JV and Ja on offense. How many times did we watch Ja and Jonas cough up the ball in the packed paint because teams sagged off Kyle. Lack of spacing hurts offensive players - cmon i know u know this because this was the complaint for years in regards to Tony Allen. When you have a player like Kyle in your starting unit then it forces the other players to have to be dang near AllStar level offensive players to offset him. If they go back to just average then offense goes kaput. Don't start with the its better to have great defense vs good offense argument either. The FO purposely brought in Taylor to craft a system that has BOTH Top 10 offense AND defense. Kyle helps on only one side of that equation. Draymond is basically APEX version of what Kyle can hope to be. And DG is only successful because he IS surrounded by TWO HOF' level shooters surrounding him and he plays the 4. We have two guys in our SL that need spacing to be fully effective so Kyle at the 3 will never work longterm.
