He's not a complete bore. He's an avid soccer fan, and I hear he lives in St. Louis. He can't be all bad.
You have multiple posters asking if you're drunk. That's how stupid your posts are. The measure for your posts is whether a sober person could write that. Let that sink in
Well you could have offered to jump to a younger age group, to give the youngsters some instruction, right?
HA HA. After taking kids through 4 year-old "bee swarm" soccer, where everybody follows the ball at top speed, that would be great.
. . . and we'd have to check whether you're overqualified for that too . . .
Last day I played a competitive game of basketball was 18 years ago . . . I shredded my right Achilles . . .
McMurtry and Hoops:
Is this the old guy who does halftime shows to upbeat music, shooting nothing but three-pointers and drilling, like, 40 % of them?
I'm surprised. Both you guys seemed well-versed in the numbers you thought the other guy was ignoring.
How long did it take for your achilles to heal? Does it still give you trouble?
8 years. It wasn't snapped, it was partially shredded, and the only symptom I had was a bump on the inside of the ankle. I went in and had it looked at, and the orthopedic put me in orthotics that were from hell. Wore those for about 5 years and then self-administered a different solution . . . I bought bigger and bigger shoes as my feet flattened out. Doesn't bother me at all unless I over-exercise, and then I get just a slight tightening of the muscles near the tendon - probably would have had that anyway. I can walk a hilly 18 holes just fine.
Dunno. I doubt it.
Prayers for your golf buddy.
I'm not sure what to make of this, but your post inspired me to look up Daviess county in particular and Indiana vaccine rates by county in general.
The high Amish population probably is a factor reflected in those numbers.
Probably so, I had already considered that. However, they were Amish for all 18 months.
Both Lagrange and Daviess County have large Amish Communities. I know Amish that have been vaccinated but I’d guess the number is small. Covid raged through our Amish Community in 2020. I don’t remember the exact time frame. I think it was late summer or early fall.
If I assume that no Amish are vaccinated in those two counties and remove the Amish population altogether, Daviess would still come in at 31% vaccinated, while Lagrange comes in at 29%. So both would remain in the bottom 6 counties along with: Jay, Adams, Miami and Switzerland.
If others are missing it, I'm picking up the numbers that you are puttin down Pat.
Some Amish are getting vaccinated. I don’t think there is any problem with Covid deaths being reported on the Amish. There is however a huge problem with Amish being part of the stats of those testing positive. They for the most part don’t test and they don’t get treated unless it gets bad.
One would have to compare the death rates between the Amish and the English during one of the peak periods to see how much of a factor that might play.
He did a crude pre and post vaccination availability comparison. A comparison between Amish and English for say July 2020 or November 2020 would tell us much more.
Agree, there is only so much that can be gleaned from the data we have right now. Starting at Feb. 1st and going forward misses all of the peaks. My main point here is that there is a mismatch between data and experience/narrative.
Your dates are the right time frame. Reliable numbers from the Amish are difficult if not impossible.
🧐 I'm old . . . almost as old as Uncle Mark . . . but not that old. Yet. I might make it.
