What I’m pointing out is the graph is picking details that they think supports their objective, leaving out other details that may not. That’s why i used the term “skewed.”

My wife’s late step father was a very conservative aeronautical engineer and worked for a large defense contractor, her mom was very liberal. Back in my younger years, my favorite pass time was to bring up any hot political topic over dinner, then quietly excuse myself. Even though they had very different views on the world, they were happily married for about 40 years before passing.

To be fair, the Lincoln project has one objective, to defeat Trump. Their graph is skewed to reflect this, missing lots of details. And believe me, there are plenty of decisions he’s made that i shimmer over, but the evolution of this virus is forcing many politicians to shift positions frequently.

Our own Finn is the engineer behind that job :).

I hear the seasonal flu comparison frequently. It might hold water if COVID had a similar seasonality. But it doesn’t. I was really expecting (hoping) that the summer weather would knock the incidence down. It appears were going to be stuck with this until we have an effective vaccine.

Comparing the total number of new cases between countries is deceiving. A more meaningful statistic would be total new cases per 1,000 (or pick the number) population.

Ive been retired from UCD for a few years but keep getting called back. I went back this week for the first time since the pandemic. Masks are supposed to be worn. I noticed the students would be in close contact, then quickly put their mask on when another person entered the room. The current demographics support the idea that younger age groups are becoming infected to a greater degree as compared to earlier in the pandemic. Remember when you had to have a TB test before starting school? In my mind being tested COVID negative before coming back to school would go along way to prevent a disaster.

My wife is always looking forward as she plans family gatherings and trips. And each month I find myself making the same comment, “lets give it another month and re-evaluate.”

I sent in all my team aggie and season ticket renewal fees/donations anticipating we will have sports next season. Lets hope we have a season.

There was a donation page sometime back. Finn took over the admin responsibilities so you might PM him.

Three CSU schools — Sac State, Cal Poly and San Jose State — are on UC Davis’ 11-game fall schedule that begins Aug. 29 at Nevada.

Reports UC Davis Athletic Director Kevin Blue, “I’ve spoken with several of the CSU athletics directors from Division I and they’ve explained that the news hasn’t changed their preparation for fall sports.”

I always liked the Sacramento Union better than the bee. I dropped the bee a long time ago. The delivery costs were just too expensive for the product.

Great comments, but unfortunately we have plenty of people in Yolo County that are just as ignorant or cavalier about this virus. I was in the Woodland Costco just before the mandatory mask requirement. They were limiting the number of customers so the store was not crowded. I was wearing a mask and I hear some guy clearing his throat behind me then reaching in to grab an item right next to me. I told him to maintain 6’. He obviously didn't care. I am very forthright with people when shopping to insure the best i can that people show me the same respect, and distance, that I am providing for them.

Yes, lots of issues surrounding this. Rental market decline? Real estate value? Business's closing? I dont live in Davis, but in our community my wife and i have done our best to support the local businesses. Heck, I’m even paying my gym monthly even though it’s closed. I actually stopped going well before they closed down the gyms.

Well, I haven't sent in my football package and team aggie stuff yet but will do it before the deadline. God only knows how all these scenarios will play out.

I know there is a different thread on this but I’ll make a brief comment here. I took epidemiology decades ago, but as I recall, there are a bunch of ways to calculate this. For case specific rates, the denominator can be the entire population, OR a subset of it such as the number of those considered “susceptible.” For example, if you are looking at prostate cancer, women are excluded from the population. One might exclude vaccinates from a given population when calculating influenza rates.

Sac State sucks

Haha, love it.

Thanks for the reminder, on board.

They have a spirited tailgate area. I think their fans show up to party then go home, lol.

I’m sure all the various collegiate and professional sports groups will way in but my point was that the state is going to have to sanction gatherings regardless of what individual groups decide.


I’ll need to remember that one for a smack thread.

Things are changing daily, not sure how they can prognosticate that far out. But my guess is these decisions will be made on a state level.

Not sure about “the last great,” but I was really impressed with how Nick Eaton performed the last half of the season when he was blitzing from both ends. Speed and athleticism.
