Sooooo...... over 75% of the phd folks aren't hesitant and took the vaccine? Isn't that called a majority?

So every NFL running back can get the vaccine....

Makes sense.

I agree wade is not a great "coach" but neither was brady.

It can be as complicated as you want it to be. Bad defenses usually aren't complicated and good ones are.

I played basketball my whole life and then I coached it a little bit after college. If you have a perfect gameplan and your opponent is shooting 60% from outside (21-35 as of right now) than there is nothing you can do.

Anyone who has ever played basketball knows this. This is not about coaching or poor gameplanning. Alabama just simply went nuts tonight and is making more triples than I have ever seen a college team make.

Grinnel made 42-88 to set the record.

The point is, this blowout was simply how they could not miss and nothing more. Move on to UK

So I played basketball my whole life too. I didn't coach after college like you but can still recognize good basketball from bad basketball. If the defensive problems were isolated to one game then I would agree. Although he is a fantastic recruiter (wink wink) Wade has not shown the ability to coach defense since he arrived. We should not be surprised. I'm pretty sure we were at the bottom of defensive 3 point % last year too. With the athletes that LSU has on the perimeter there's no excuse for it.

In addition, when I heard that he changed the scheme to a matchup zone for this year I sort of rolled my eyes because gimmicks don't really work. The only solution for this team to get better on defense is to emphasize it from the ground up. They obviously don't do that.

Somewhere in a parallel universe the headline reads "Biden, blm supporters gun down white woman in suspected hate crime".

So..... about 100,000 people have already taken this vaccine. What are you suggesting will happen to them?

According to Johns Hopkins, you need between 50% and 90% immunity to reach herd immunity. The % depends on how contagious the disease is. This virus, while not deadly for most, is very contagious. But, to give benefit of the doubt, let's say you need to only hit 50% immunity to achieve it....

Louisiana has reported approximately 195k cases of covid. Now, I know a lot of you don't really trust that number since it is believed states like to inflate their # of cases. But using that logic, the amount of people tested positive would go down and thus further decrease the threshold to achieve herd immunity. Again, giving the benefit of the doubt I'll still use the 195k number.

Louisiana's total population is approx 4.6 million. So basically, at least 2.3 million people in the state need to have contracted covid for the state to reach herd immunity. This means, if you believe herd immunity has been achieved, that you believe that 2.1 million people got it without going get a covid test to confirm.

Do you believe that is a reasonable assumption to make? I feel like that's quite the leap to make unless there's something else I should be considering.

so here's the deal pal. The CDC has stated numerous times that the true amount of Covid infections are actually 6 to 10 times the number reported. Therefore, if we take the 195,000 that you so generously gave us and multiply by 8 (which is right in the middle of 6 and 10) we arrive at a number around 1.5 million, or 30% of the population. If we set that 30% as the statewide average we could reasonably say that NOLA has probably been disproportionately hit harder than the rural areas... so maybe 40%? With that being said, R0 (or number that expresses the contagion of the virus) is an ever changing number because of current immunity. If the R0 was 2.5 at the beginning of the pandemic with zero immunity then it stands to reason (using interpolation) that the current R0 at 40% is somewhere around 1.5. This also assumes that NOBODY has built in immunity because of T-cells gained from other coronaviruses.

In conclusion, most people speak in terms of herd immunity as a point in time where the virus will simply stop spreading. The truth is that herd immunity is a gradual process that will see future "spikes" and slopes be less agressive and shorter in duration.

It was tested using the fecal material... so a little different

This problem is too far gone now. The only solution involves a time machine that can go back to 1985 (but seriously) where the government supplies every black family with a father instead of monetary assistance.
