Hell, I've been in IT for almost 20 years now and just a few weeks ago dug myself into quite the hole and ended up wasting a couple hours of my time and others' time believing I knew the problem, just for it to be the equivalent of "have you tried rebooting"..... confidence backed by years of experience can bite you in the ass sometimes, but having that confidence in the first place doesn't mean you don't know in the back of your head that you could be wrong... and it doesn't mean you're just an arrogant know-it-all scientist/doctor/IT geek. The hurricane tracking analogy has been used a lot here... and maybe you study hurricanes for years and that bumps up your knowledge from completely guessing to your educated guess giving you a 10% higher chance of being right. And maybe you have the chance to learn a little from each time you track. How many pandemics does someone get to learn from in a career in infectious diseases? Of course they're going to be wrong... a lot. Tell Patrick Mahomes right after college that after all of his practice, college games etc; he can only go out and throw one pass per NFL season, but he needs to learn from that one pass/game, or otherwise he sucks and all that practice meant nothing. And a guy on the internet would think he could do better in the same situation. |

I'll post a few pics of the parking lots of restaurants here in town on Sunday for the "nobody will leave their home" crowd.

Let's hope new testing comes available or no NFL, NBA or any other sports except golf.
This is why we alot of us keep harping on testing because we want our sports back. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...on-of-testing/ Quote:

For example Wyoming, Montana, Hawaii, and Alaska are all doing better than Iceland in deaths per capita. Not surprisingly isolated regions are doing better. That’s the only thing we can draw from the countries you listed. Let’s try countries more similar both geographically and culturally to each other and the US. Germany, France, Italy, UK, and Spain together have about the same population as the US. Together they have 120k deaths to our 75k. The only one with lower deaths per capita than the US is Germany with the rest being way more than what we have. Your comparison would be like someone in Italy saying they should have done whatever Alaska, Montana, Hawaii, and Wyoming did. |
