@jayballer67 I'd rather have medical experts in each community decide what is a safe number to have inside each arena. Basketball arenas aren't football or baseball stadiums that are almost exclusively outdoor venues with much better ventilation that reduces the risk of transmission. These are indoor venues that mostly rely on recirculated air which increases the risk of transmission.
I don't want someone sitting in a corporate office in Dallas determining what is safe in Lawrence, Kansas. I want health officials in Lawrence that are familiar with the Covid situations in the Lawrence, KC, and Topeka areas determining what is safe for Allen Fieldhouse to minimize the risk of transmission. I want local health officials determining what is a safe capacity in each arena because each community has different issues and risks that determine what an appropriate capacity should be.
Even the NFL hasn't standardized the capacity of each team's stadium. They have allowed local health officials to determine what is safe and that's the way it should be.
I'm just not OK with an un fair playing field when it comes to the sports side of it. - - Again hell let's just not let or allow ANY fans in - -that way not imbalanced any where and a lot less chance of COVID if we wanna go that route.
But to allow some Colleges to allow more fans then others ? - -You can twist this around in any shape or form you want to try but you'll NEVER get me to agree with that BS when you get to the Sport aspect of it. We all know fans can help make it rougher - -we have seen it from our own PHOG when the place gets to rocking - you don't think that doesn't effect the other opposing team?
So If we are Allowing a Team like Baylor or Tech to come to the Phog and play before only 1,500 fans and thein return we have to go play in front of their packed arena's? - just because the COVID is less there? - -there is NO WAY that is a fair balanced schedule. - -in the sports aspect you talking about messing with a teams schedule - - their ranking - - and their positioning for post season and even possibly not making a post season if the fan difference makes difference which we know how it does - -there is just NO WAY in hell that's on a even field - - NOPE - - NOPE - - NOPE
So to satisify - - let's just not allow any fans in any arena's if were worried because of the COVID which we should be worried but just saying to allow otherwise - - umm no that DOES NOT work
Since when has sports ever been about being fair? Is it fair the FBI and NCAA targeted Adidas schools while not investigating Duke or Kentucky's recruiting practices?
If a 1,500 limit for AFH is what it will take to see KU play basketball this season while Baylor is at 25%, then so be it. Life and sports have never been about being fair.
Feeble response - -NOPE you can talk till your blue in the face - -no way your changing how I feel on this - I could give a GD about the FBI right now they not playing in our Conference - It's got to be fair on the court or not at all
So should the Big 12 limit AFH capacity to 13,000 when KSU comes to town? Because that’s what Bramlage holds and it’s not fair they have to play in front of 16,300 when they come to Lawrence.
EXACTLY my point - -why would it be a fair if we can only have 1,500 - - when where the pandamic isn't as bad they are allowed to hold more fans. -if there are limitations and yet some are allowed to hold more - -v then just ban all fans play every where in empty field houses only fair way if they are letting some in. - - Why should Baylor be allowed to come to Allen and only have to play in front of 1,500 and then when we have to return the trip to Waco KU has to play in front of 3-4-5 thousand, same goes for Tech - -K-State any other team ? -is that fair to KU ? - easy answer - - umm NO.
Just like Coach said yesterday the way he looks at it with less then there will be less chance for gimmicks these other teams fans like to use signs noise and such. like he says Ku always gets eveyones best shot anyways - So why or how could it be possibly be fair when these teams get the chance to come to the Phog and play in front of under 10 %of our fans and then we have to go to their place like K-state who is going to allow right at 25 % they said or Baylor - -Or Texas Tech - -or West Virginia and they be allowed more fans - -your telling me you think thats fair ? - - umm no fricken way - -any way you try and twist it around.
So if counties want to restrict or schools want to restrict certain % - -the just play with zero - -only right way for that to be done period
I think you're proving my point. Artificial constraints are part of the sport. Allen Fieldhouse is massive, and TCU's arena seats less than 7000. How is that fair? Should the Big 12 limit Allen to 1/3 capacity when TCU comes? Of course not. That's insane. Should the crowd at Allen be forced to be quiet since Texas's arena is a ghost town? Of course not. You play under the conditions the local situation gives you. In this case, the pandemic is changing the conditions on the ground in a geographically diverse league. We'll deal. We're Kansas, not Kansas State.
gotcha - - so let's not limit Ku when TCU comes to town - - -When the ghost riders TEXAS comes to Town - -When the High School for down the Inner State comes to town - -EXACTLY

@Kcmatt7 said in Bears picked over Jayhawks in preseason Big 12 poll:
At what point does Scott Drew get the respect he deserves nationally? Hell even on this website?
I'll keep beating the drum. Scott Drew is a good head coach and as much as it may make you want to throw up in your mouth a little bit, he should be on the short list to replace Self.
I'll take all comments off the air.
I agree with you & your right to many says he is a choker - - not a good Coach but you bring out very solid points. doesn't mean I love the guy lol , just giving the respect where respect is due.
However not sure if I would want him as a KU Coach, i know sounds crazy if I'm giving him respect and can't really explain why I wouldn't but just wouldn't be one of my favorites still - -nothing like talking out both sides of the ol mouth huh? lol - -But I agree he doesn't get the respect he deserves
His team is gonna be really hard this season - -he has brought that program out of the ashes for sure. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

you talking about the COVID and effecting possibly the Season. - -I read from an article that Dr Faucci today he said :
That we as a Nation are adding over 74,000 new cases a day right now and expecting it t get worse as Winter sets in He said 41 States are reporting at least 10 % more Cases now compared to the week before.
Saying there is 30 but closer to 40 States that's seeing Alarming rise in the Cases. One major reason for that is that we never got down to a manageable baseline. - - -We were in such a hurry to open things back up Now there is so much Community spread that even the classic maneuvers like the contact tracing aren't work very well. He said the pressure to hurry up and open up has caused this -- that and people not wanting to follow guidelines that were put in place to try and help control like - - - - Mas gatherings - - -Social distancing - -wearing the masks - - - sanatizing washing your hands frequently -all not followed consistency so now we have this
I think your right
IF our Season isn't disrupted again this year I think before it's all said and done your going to see once again these areana's will be empty - -NO FANS - that's IF the Season isn't cancelled - -talking like it's gonna get really bad and yes Kansas is one of the States where right now it's uncontrolled
@jayhawks2010 said in Then we have this , kind of interesting something has to happen/ Triple Option ?:
I’ve been saying this to buddies for awhile. Honestly even a single back under center type attack with option and triple option with a receiver in motion would be better. We’ve seen Synder at KSU be successful with a funky run style with option and some passing. Ku can’t out recruit all of these surrounding schools in this spread RPO system. Les Miles knows how to develop and recruit defense. A more running style offense will help rest the defense and limit possessions.
It's for sure that would be something to think about - - want to still give Les his chance to turn this around , and i think he is getting his recruits to do that. Just his 2nd year and only his 1st full year of his recruiting this year - still working with Beatys mess, but something that cold be an option in the future - -who knows? - -couldn't be any worse off then we are now
@justanotherfan said in Then we have this , kind of interesting something has to happen/ Triple Option ?:
There are definitely some advantages to thinking outside the box like that in the short term. It likely gets KU moving towards .500 or better within a couple of years.
The downside is where you go from there. There is a definite cap on the types of players you can recruit offensively into that scheme. We saw this at Ga. Tech - they were solid basically the entire time Johnson was there - two double digit win seasons in 11 years, and only two seasons without a bowl berth, but generally good for 7-9 wins (six such seasons). That is absolutely better than anything KU has seen in over a decade, but it makes it nearly impossible to change styles without tripping up everything you have built.
Agree for sure better then KU has seen in for - - long time - I dunno , not saying it's right - - not saying it's wrong for sure , but hell something to think about , maybe at least make us more competitive - just tired of the blow outs and not even challenge - yet not ready for sure giving up with the /Mad Hater - it just tkaes time and I think a lot of people want that instant fix

you tell me how your train of thought would be equal for other teams ? - - to have say KU - - Iowa State or whoever else have restrictions on capacity of fans compared to Texas or Baylor having no restrictions 10 % to Standing Room Only - that's fair right ? - -give me a break -if one team has restrictions then all should have the same capacity limitations. - -It's not one teams fault that their particular county has more COVID then another team. - -There is no logic in any team KU or not having to play with just 10 % and then having to travel to anothers where it is packed.
That would of been like MLB saying ok now KC you can only play 60 games and other teams being able to play 100 and KC getting left out because they didn't qualify with enough games. - -The MLB
teams ha games they got Cancelled but they re-scheduled -where all played the same amount - - -
So with the COVID being what it is then the BIG 12 should be the one to mandate /cap restrictions of fans from the very beginning - -makes NO SENSE otherwise , why punish the players - hell you gonna say thats good then EVERYONE should just play in empty arena's instead of some with 2-3 thousand compared to 12-13 thousand - because of the COVID
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Well Might as well be Empty Phog:
@jayballer67 Why would the Big 12 set a standard capacity when not each county each school is in is the same? I'm fine with letting Douglas County officials determine what KU's capacity should be along with whichever county government there is for each school.
Well let's see umm for ONE thing this should be a Big 12 standard for the league - -we are talking about Conference Basketball not Counties , so of course your fine with it - -if even one team has restrictions on them then ALL should have the same restrictions = =pretty clear cut - -pretty simple - with your way of thinking some schools would have 10 % 12 % capacity while another could have Standing room only -- ya that makes perfect sense -- you take and run with that
Dam I read off the WIBW web site , that K-state is allowing 3,132 fans to attend their home games - -capping attendance at 25 %
Did we kind of get shafted by the KU front office/Athletic Dept? . .with only like 1,500 and right at 10 % ? - -Hell Even Emporia State is allowing 1,300 fans into their home games - -something doesn't seem right
I would think in Big 12 Conference the League ought to have a standard set league wide if there is restrictions - -same amount of fans allowed for ALL teams if that's the case , just feels as if we are getting short changed on this - -we going to be going into areana's with more fans allowed that doesn't seem right more of an avantage - - things that make you go Hmmmm. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well ran across this article from one of my other KU Groups. Written by Kevin Fielder from the 5th Quarter.
He starts out throwing out some stats , talking about how we are being beaten by an average 24 points a game , How this offense of ours is only averaging 15 points a game and saying how this just can not continue.
He goes into KU'S recruiting problems saying , that KU faces a problem familiar for smaller P-5 schools have. They are surrounded by Texas , Oklahoma , Colorado , Missouri , Nebraska trying to recruit and often losing out to these Schools in Neighboring States , and without the ability to convince top ranked players to commit , forcing KU to fight for Scraps, leaving it with less talented then it's Big 12 Counterparts.
Fielder says the solution for this existent problem lies in outside the Box if Jeff Long wants to find success on the field then the Jayhawks would be best to abandon all normal avenues of thinking and think outside the box , and that outside the box thinking would be with the hire of Army Head Coach Jeff Monken and the " TRIPLE OPTION " Monken at Army is 46-37 since 2014 and has taken Army to 3 bowl game wins since he has been there - -10 win Season in 2017, 1st time they had a 10 win Season since 1996.
Monken served under Paul Johnson at Hawaii - - Navy - - Georgia Southern - - & Georgia Tech.
Fielder says operating outside the box with Monken gives the Jayhawks with an opportunity to recruit underrated prospects with certain traits instead of certain talents.
The inherent advantage would potentially come on the filed, where the Jayhawks would be a threat on any given Saturday.
Read the comments on the follow up from fans , surprising how many thought this was a good idea - - some wondering why we haven't done this earlier - others saying if Les couldn't get this turned around in his 5 years then they would like to see this. - -Hell I dunno -- Maybe , BUT I'm not ready to give up on Les yet , just seems like the same old story - -Oh let's change Coach's - you just can't keep doing that or you will NEVE get any kind of Continunity - -what do you think ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm guessing Silvio was blackout drunk if he doesn't remember the incident, but I'm still wondering why it took LPD almost 9 months to investigate this incident and present the case to the DA's office?
Exactly what I was wondering and stated. - - -WHY ? - -Why did they take 9 months to present this case -- just don't know.

@Woodrow Is it just my imagination, or does Kentucky have like twenty scholarships to give? It doesn't hurt their chances at scarfing up all of the players that we are waiting for our punishment to be doled out along with Arizona, Louisville and so on and so forth, and Dook - after the Zion thing finally went public - is probably now being looked at as well.
I DOES seem like they have unlimited number of kids they can sign - - - - - This crap gets really old, but yet for all the talent ol Cal has he doesn't have ANY more National titles then Bill does - just don't get it.

I know at one point Oklahoma was in really good shape. All I've seen lately is ALL KENTUCKY - -I don't get it, - - is this a Basketball roster OR a football roster as many players they signing
Well can't say the Staff isn't putting in work. - Went through the rankings of 2022 recruits from 247 sports went through top 60 ranked kids,
At this point where the kids list their top five schools at this particular point KU is listed by the following players as one of the kids top five Schools of interest : # 4 - -- # 6 - - -# 10- - # 12 - - # 13 - - -# 21 - - - # 29 - - # 30 - - # 31 - - # 37 - - & # 44
So we must be still getting kids attention we just HAVE TO FINISH on some of these kids.
So of particular interest as I know at one point anyways heard we were right there with a couple of these kids - -does anyone know any more how we stand with Mark Mitchell & Grady Dick ?
Would be interested in a couple of others if anyone know or has heard anything and they are : # $ ranked kid Amari Bailey a 6'4 CG out of Chatsworth California. - - He has us listed along with UCLA , Alabama , Depaul , Illinois - - - Then the # 30 ranked kid Vince Iwuchukwu a 7 footer C out of LaPorte Indiana ? - he has us listed along with -- -Baylor , Purdue , TCU , Texas , & KU - -looks like he wants to stay right here in the middle of the Country with those choices - - - -Anybody help ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

huge news.
KU will play Gonzaga on Nov 25th in Fort Myers
This isn't set in stone yet, but from Gonzaga's SBNation page, it sounds like it's going to be a 4 team event involving Kansas, Gonzaga, Auburn, and a 4th team TBD. Kansas and Gonzaga will play Nov. 25 along with Auburn vs. the 4th team that same night. Then on Nov. 27, it would be Gonzaga vs. Auburn and KU vs. TBD.
In the Athletic's article yesterday about the cancellation of the Orlando bubble, it sounded like ESPN was still trying to salvage the Champions Classic which will still happen once they find a site (Indianapolis sounds like the favorite there) and the Jimmy V Classic. Michigan State was mentioned in the Athletic article along with Kansas and Gonzaga as teams ESPN was interested in for the Jimmy V this year so it's possible Michigan St. could end up being the 4th team in Ft. Meyers.
Those games would be some really quality games Gonzaga , then the other - - Michigan St & KU in the Jimmy V classic ? with others - - Mercy
I don't see anyway College Basketball makes it through without more then one break/inneruption . - Was listening to the news release from the KU Med Center , they are very concerned.
New cases of COVID up 30/40 % in the last two weeks Nation Wide - - -41 States spiking higher then they have eve been. They are talking of course that people have just pretty much gotten burnt out - -saying helping curve this is pretty simple BUT people just not caring and refusing to do it - - - WEAR THE FRICKEN MASK.
New cases in Younger are on the rise more , and more mass gatherings going back to School , younger taking it back to older people parents/grandparents and then they in turn passing to other elderly people - - Hospitalizations are up , more people being put in ICU - - ventilization is up
I know here in Kansas - - we had just over the weekend right at 2,476 new cases I know we are setting records for the entire pandemic - - it's about to get really ugly again , BUT there is a lot that will just totally ignore and thinking awwww it will go away, - to that I will say I'll see if I can make it to your funeral , not sure what it's gonna take for people to understand this is no joke

@nuleafjhawk said in Well Might as well be Empty Phog:
@jayballer67 I would imagine if 1,500 (or whatever) is the maximum amount of tickets that they allow to be sold - it would have to still be considered a sellout if they sold all 1,500 of them.
maybe/possibly - -I sure hope that's the case I'd hate to see the string end because of COVID. - -sure gonna miss fan presence during games
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Well Might as well be Empty Phog:

Very True - but the question is - - for how long before inneruption? - -just watch COVID conference from KU Med Center. - - New cases are up 30/40 % across the Nation. - -I just have this feeling games gonna be cancelled again.
Kind of Strange not to see their regular positions in the CBS Top 25 plus 1.

@approxinfinity said in KSU Ass Whooping:
Maybe we will learn more details. Sounds like pillowtalk to soften the blow or maybe leave options open.
From what Les is saying strictly because of Mothers illness , and wanting to be closer to family. - -leaves a lot of options open. - -Like it was saying he could come back - - - he could transfer to another School - - he could just sit out and prepare fort he draft - -lot of options - -just don't seehim touching the field again in a KU uniform
Just read an article that was updated like 15 minutes ago. So that would be at like 9:15 p.m. guys. It said Les Miles said after the game today I guess that he fully expects Pooka Williams to be back next year, this is coming form the Topeka Sports and was in the WIBW site. - - Then some about Pooka saying in January he was coming back - -they lost me there , BUT Les is saying Pooka will be back next year
OK everybody raise your hand if they believe that - - NO ? - - umm Ya I think for sure Pooka will NOT be back next year. - -anyone else ?
Just to edit - - read different site - - The Phog and what Les said was That Pooka says he plans on returning to the team In January. - -I still say raise your hand if you believe that. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@FarmerJayhawk said in KSU Ass Whooping:
I’m not ready to give up on Daniels yet. Dude can’t even vote yet. Came in with no spring, a short fall camp, and a trash line. Let’s at least wait until he can buy a lottery ticket and has an off-season before throwing him on the trash heap.
Oh don't get me wrong buddy , i think just needing that experience give time to make better reads also hell half the time he is running for his life cause the O-line can't substain block - -he is lucky to make ANYTHING out of nothing at times.
I think with him & Easters we will at least be what I think will be much better off then the current situation. I think these two can give us some solid QB in time
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in KSU Ass Whooping:
34-7 at halftime and the defense has been the only decent aspect of the game for KU. Three of KSU's 4 TD's in the first half have come off a pick 6 and two punt returns including one to end the half.
The offense has been dogshit with Jalon Daniels running for his life basically being the offense today.
Holy hell the special teams today. Missed a 40 yard FG, injured punter, and gave up 2 punt returns for TD's.
I'm sorry to anyone that thinks Jalon Daniels is the future at QB, but he is absolute trash at QB. That pick six he threw was just bad. He's made one good throw today. Daniels is better than Kendrick because Daniels can somewhat scramble unlike Kendrick, but there is not a competent QB on the roster. KU's best QB is currently playing HS ball in Indiana. There is no reason Ben Easters shouldn't be the starting QB when KU opens the season in 2021.
Agree about Easters - - if we hold on to him - our special teams just fricken killing us - -holy bat shit
What do you say when you have no words to describe. -It sounds insane to say when your down 34-7 ,but there were signs there is improvement.
When your down 3 of your top receivers , Your OL Line can't hold a block/maintain a block - -the RB'S have no hole to run through , there is no hole TO run through - -your top running back has left the team - -your QB situation is very shaky - - - -you have your starting punter out - - your back up punter gets hurt - -how can you possibly even entertain the thought of winning..
Having said that you can still see signs believe it or not - this defense has really held up against some tough situations - - playing pretty well for what they are put in. - -I think in the 1st half the K-State offense has 1 TD - -OUR special teams flat ass SUCK. - can't put that on the defense for sure
Every Saturday these guys find some way to lose - -finally on the last time Offense had the ball they drove the ball right down the field and took it to K-State ass and scored.
Just sad the special teams gave the game away
@approxinfinity said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":
@jayballer67 they can't prove what the other way? That Trump is corrupt?
There is a mountain of evidence that Trump is corrupt. What does "proving" it mean? Hearing him on tape saying the this disease is deadly at the beginning of the year, but that he doesn't want to alarm the public by admitting it? Then contradicting scientists every step of the way to bolster that self serving narrative? That's pretty clearly corrupt.
If you are going to write in, I wish you luck in selecting a qualified, decent person.
I'm voting in myself
@approxinfinity said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":
@jayballer67 How is Biden corrupt? The worst thing he did imo was coauthor the bipartisan crime bill that passed the Senate 100-0 and resulted in unnecessary mass incarceration, particularly with nonviolent drug offenses, and he's admitted that was wrong. In terms of illegal stuff, what has he done thats illegal? The Hunter Biden email stuff is unverifiable Ukrainian BS. It's designed to make you doubt weeks before the election and in fact Giuliani didn't pursue it before now because he realized it was trash. It had been offered to him by the Ukrainians last year, but he bought it now from the Ukranian as a last ditch Hail Mary. There is no verified substance there. Don't buy into the hype man. This is the same sort of disruption right before the elections 4 years ago. Exact same stupid tired playbook.
Let's just put this Clown to pasture and I'd say let's see how much better we feel 4 years from now, but I really hope I'll just forget to do so because life will return to some sort or normalcy with a normal decent human being as President.
just let it go man - -like you said it's unverifable - -so means they can't prove THE OTHER WAY EITHER - just let it go - -your not convincing me to vote for Smokey Joe -I really wish there would be a write in Canidate that I could vote for - -have a great bight - - -really enjoyed KU late night tonight - -looks like Tristian might be a little better - -ROCK CHALK BUDDY
@approxinfinity said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":
@jayballer67 just think about this.. One guy released his tax returns for the last 22 years. The other promised he would release them 4 years ago and then never did. One guy was investigated and impeached for quid pro quo in Ukraine. The other was investigated and absolved of any wrong doing related to his son in Ukraine. What you are believing if you think these two are equal in character is straight out of Trumps mouth, and the mouths of his enablers.
It's not political. It's a logic problem. Which one is the crook?
If one person is honest and the other person isn't, they'd both be calling each other crooks, so how do you tell which is the crook?
they both are
Man I get so tired of seein Cal and his group of one and done and # 1 recruiting. - Another # 1 this year.
Just raking these guys and these transfers : This group Oliver Sarr got granted to play this year - -7 footer transferring from I believe Wake - -- Jacob Toppin - - - Brandon Boston - - - -Sky Clark just committed last night - -And now I see where a lot of movement for Damian Collins - - WTH - - -I thought Oklahoma was in really good shape for him , now looks like Kentucky has him too.
And yet even with all that talent he should be cleaning up - -really hasn't done squat with National titles - -just tired of his crap
@approxinfinity said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":
@jayballer67 don't be fooled. The biggest problem with Joe is he's old and not a terribly charismatic or dynamic person. Trump is the crook here with the shady dealings. Any comparable shady business on Joe is simply a fabrication. There is no equality here on character. It's fine to not agree with Joe on policy, but on character, don't fall for it. Pretty good guy vs shit.
it's ok your totally entitled to your opinion - -but like you said don't be fooled both are crooked - - yes even your beloved Smokey Joe. - -I'm not going to get into a pissing contest on this though - -again your entitled - neither one any good - -this is why i hate political threads on a sports site - -can get really ugly - - no one wins
So we really have some great choices for our leader this time. - -On one side we have the Democratic side with Smokey Joe ( the Challenger ) - -saying that Trump was/is in Ka-Hoots with the Russian government tainting the election. - - Then you have the Republican side with the current President Ol Donnie - blaming Smokey Joe with being involved with the Chinese Government for personal Gain.
Some really SWEET choices/decisions. - -just for once would be nice to find a President that can and would be willing to work with & or for OUR Government.
I swear if Donald duck OR Goofy was running I'd be really tempted to vote for either one of them over these clowns. - No wonder we are in the mess that were in. - -just two more in a string of bad decisions
@mayjay Dana - - -Dana. Sad to hear , and if true which sure sounds like it did then I can't really feel sorry for Dana , how does a guy go from the fame of a really good NFL career go from that to someone who would do such a thing to a woman with limited capacity ?
I do feel sorry for the woman having to go through this if true. - -15- to life - -just sad

They way things are going with the virus, this year's schedule might as well be written out on an Etch-A-Sketch.
(Or a Magic Slate, for those of you of a certain age...)
I have no doubt there will be many disruptions with Basketball - it's not gonna be good
@justanotherfan said in The other thread pretty lengthy - new one Covid:
One other bit of news that is not helpful here is that hospitals are really starting to fill up, especially in rural areas. On top of that, lots of patients are coming in from non-mask counties (mostly rural areas) and taking hospital beds in more populous counties. There is some friction between urban/suburban and rural areas as the sickest patients need ICU attention, but most of the rural areas of the state do not have any ICU beds at all -- for example, along the US 69 corridor in the eastern part of the state, there is not a single hospital between Johnson County and Pittsburg (over 100 miles). If we don't get a handle on this soon, we could see some real tragedies in the rural parts of the state simply due to lack of access to treatment. And I can't imagine being a hospital worker - do you take the local patient, or the one from 90 miles away? Hopefully no one has to make those decisions, but if we aren't careful, that's where we are heading.
well there in Norton all 52 patients from the nursing home tested positive with the 10 deaths - your right we are on the verge again , and the thing is - -there is just to many people that just simply want to have the mentality of - - I'll show them I'm not wearing no dam mask - - so there I'm gonna do what I wand to do - that's a big part of why we are at where were at - -time to grow up
@approxinfinity said in The other thread pretty lengthy - new one Covid:
@jayballer67 12.3% positivity is nuts.
I know buddy, like i said the Hospital is saying that the cases are higher then it's ever been since the pandemic began last March - -it's not Good.
I guess things are acting up in California again - - New York - - New Jersey - -Conn - -are all saying about not traveling into each others States - -it's just same song 2nd verse
Jefferson West has Cancelled game tomorrow . - -Their game from Oct 16th was Cancelled against Sabetha after several players were potentially exposed to positive COVID - Now their game against Holton Cancelled. - - 82 students and Staff under quarantine.
Highland Park game has been Cancelled after player tested positive. - -lot of these games now being dis-rupted.
Here in Shawnee Co the COVID scorecard jumped 5 points and we are now 1 % point from re-entering the un-controlled in red. - - Stormont Vail saw 34 new positive cases/inpatients Thursday the biggest increase since the COVID Pandemic started in March % of positive patients went from 7.8 - -to 12.3
@BShark said in 2020 Transfer List:
@FarmerJayhawk Gonna be a long ass line.
Long line for sure , Article where it says he has already heard from : Duke - - Gonzaga- - -Texas - -Norte Dame - - Miami - - Florida - -USC - - Maryland - - Ohio State - - -Oklahoma State - -Wake Forrest - -Cincinnati - - Georgia -- & KU.
Said he will graduate in Spring and be eligible for the 2021/22 Season. - -Think it's a long shot he would ever come here. - Would be nice
They said with the IVY League's Season in jeopardy because of the COVID good chance therecould be more transfers - -we will see I reckon. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I heard this , this afternoon from our governor's Press conference. I know most people won't care , won't take the time to read , but still going to post anyways. If people think this stuff is made up , fake - the question becomes how many have to die before you understand this is the real deal.
Here in Kansas this COVID is on the up tick for sure 17 other States in same position. - They are talking in NY - - New Jersey - - & Conn NOT to be traveling into these places , California once AGAIN in trouble sounds like
Just since Monday two days ago today Kansas has reported 1,468 New Cases and 25 more Deaths. The total since the beginning is now over 74, 500 cases and over 900 deaths..
Governor Kelly said they are having talks about a bi-partisan bill mandating face masks throughout, said should be much easier to pass as they now know more and it's been proven that face masks work and gave multiple scenario's to back it up. - -Said it's time for this to quit being political and take care of people now.
She said people who thought that this would never reach rural Counties now feeling the effect , as 2/3 of all cases now are outside of th Wichita & Kansaas City area's
Really bad situation in Norton County - - they have had 10 people die from the Nursing home and on top of that ALL 52 residents in the Nursing home have tested positive - - EVERY SINGLE RESIDENT on top of some Staff. - -Norton Correctional facility has 154 inmates confirmed with COVID and then Some staff members - -Stating Norton right now taking into account Population ration is leading the ENTIRE NATION .
This thing is really pretty simple guys to help stiffle this crap at least help - - - WEAR the Dam MASK. I mean I hate the dam things too BUT come on try and grow up, quit being the little I'll show them - - I'll do what I want attitude and just wear the dam thing - it's not that hard uncomfortable , nuisance ? - -Hell ya it is but I mean dam - -it's not just about you - - it's about Wives - - -Brothers - - -Sisters - - - Sons - - Daughters - - Co- Workers - - Neighbors - -your best friend - -time to quit being close minded and realize this crap is real.
The 1st time round when Kelly mandated the mask order 90 counties opted out - - we see the results -we went from like 8, ooo and some to over 74,00 and jumped for 200 plus deaths to now over 900 pretty simple mathmatics - - Helth offical said there is NOTHING that is going to be Normal for us again until at least July 2021.
Anyways hope at least ONE will take the time to read , Ya It's getting old - -but that's the problem to many people just ignoring thinking this is just going to go away - that is not a winning formula against this
