@PackChat1887 I understand this all due to an insecurity complex. Like, that's obvious and doesnt need further examination. It doesn't change the fact this is a super fucking weird thing to sit around think about re: another school.

I am a J6er. I protested a stolen election. Walked right past the police through an open door, and the police let me in. My father's step son turned me into the FBI. My house was raided. They branded me a traitor, and insurrectionist, slapped me on a terrorist watchlist. I plead guilty to illegal picketing, a Class B petty offense misdemeanor with the same sentencing guidelines as walking your dog off leash on a National Park . They swore no prison time. They lied. Judge Hogan sentenced me to 30 days for “not being remorseful enough” and three years’ probation to tie me up through elections. An unconstitutional "split" sentence. My Judge, Judge Hogan called J6 worse than the war of 1812. All I did was chant "Stop the Steal!" inside the Capitol and wear the wrong Tshirt. God Bless the J6ers!

Three people just died of hantavirus on a Dutch cruise ship. The strain kills nearly 40% of the people it infects. And yet no virologist on earth is panicking about a pandemic, because the reason it stays small is one of the strangest rules in disease science. The rule is simple. The deadlier a virus is, the harder it is to spread. If a virus kills you in days, you can't ride a bus, board a plane, or even leave the hospital. You're in a bed or a body bag. Either way, the virus killed its only ride. Hantavirus has been around for at least 70 years, but fewer than 1,000 Americans have ever caught it. The CDC says it kills 38% of those who do. The cruise ship strain, called Andes, kills closer to 40%. If hantavirus spread like COVID, it would kill billions. But it can't. Most hantaviruses spread only one way. You breathe in tiny dust particles from rat or mouse pee, droppings, or spit. No mice in your house, no virus. The cruise ship is the rare exception, because the Andes strain can spread between people, but it usually needs close contact like spouses sharing a bed. A Johns Hopkins virologist called Andes spread "unbelievably rare." Compare it to the viruses that scared the world. Ebola kills 60 to 90% of people, but only through bodily fluids and only late in the illness, so each patient passes it to fewer than 2 others. SARS killed 10% before being wiped out in 8 months. MERS killed 35% but never spread far beyond the Middle East. None of them became pandemics, because the spread was always too slow. Then COVID showed up. It killed about 1 in every 100 people who caught it. That is almost nothing compared to hantavirus. But COVID was mild enough that you could work for a week without knowing. You would ride the bus, hug your kid, eat lunch with a coworker, and infect four other people. It killed 7 million. Flu works the same way. Mild fever, sore throat, but you still drag yourself to school or the office. The virus walks right into the next host. Hantavirus is the opposite. Within 4 to 10 days, your lungs fill with fluid. There's no medicine that fights it and no vaccine to prevent it. The only treatment is a machine that breathes for you, and even that just cuts the death rate from 50% to 20%. Every outbreak, from 3,200 UN soldiers in the Korean War, to the 1993 Four Corners cases, to Gene Hackman's wife Betsy Arakawa last year, traces back to mice. The viruses that worry scientists are the boring ones. The ones that give you a sniffle for a week and let you walk around the city while you're contagious. Hantavirus, brutal as it is, never had the spread to do real damage.

“the hantavirus kills you too effectively for it to become a full blown pandemic” is the kind of jaded analysis I look for from a virologist

NEVER FORGET: on this date in 1998, Kerry Wood gave us this little gem… THE GREATEST PITCHING PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER! 20…TWENTY strikeouts, zero walks, and one hit (that is still debatable to this day).

Ronald Curry could also hoop in college, starting 28 games at point guard while at UNC with the Tar Heels. Here he is with the alley-oop to Julius Peppers

@MattNorlander @CBSSportsCBB Is it fair to characterize the reason the top tier candidates declined the job as you did? "As a result" of the athlethic department being in flux? Small point but that seems extremely reductive.

The @CBSSportsCBB newser on Dusty May staying at Michigan. Per sources, the updated target list for UNC, as of today: Billy Donovan, Mark Byington, Scott Drew, Grant McCasland and Ben McCollum. If Donovan is No. 1, UNC will have to wait at least a week: cbssports.com/college-basket…

Correct. You don’t end a 65+ year lineage to Dean Smith to hire Iowa’s first-year HC or somebody who has never seen the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. You would’ve been better off keeping Hubert Davis in that instance.
Mike@MWC1974

@JoshGrahamShow That’s a terrible take. You are saying if they go get a McCollum or Byington it’s a bust. That makes zero sense.

@Droop828 @Its_Coach_Steve The most important thing is getting the right coach. Everything else, including falling behind on the portal for one season, is secondary.

@KeepingItHeel Of course they can - by far, the most important that must happen is for them to hire the right coach. If that happens, you can live with short term problems
