Covidiots, Pt. 2

-
Ok folks. First things first, thanks to everyone reading these and I've added a follow button if you want to know when I post. I'm  gonna try to keep up 2 a day during the week and maybe 1 or 2 on weekends depending on material. Now on to the blog, part 2 of a series that should only have one part. This time I'm going to hand out Covidiot Awards to specific people/groups. 
Covidiot Award Recepient 1: Protesters
Now, I do not 100% disagree with what these people are saying. The danger of tanking the economy and causing irreparable harm is real. That being said BE SMARTER!! Call your state reps and senators, call your congressman, flood the governor's office with email. Do anything other than gather in large groups with a bunch of people you don't know. Social distancing is neccessary and if you don't believe me google coronavirus in meat packing plants. We had a 500 case spike in one day in Iowa with over 50% from meat packing plants. Take notes you idiots.

Covidiot Award Recipient 2: Governor of Michigan
Good job to this lady for using her position to make a bid for VP instead of doing what's best for Michigan. The fact that she instituted stricter restrictions than New York City is why she had protesters. Michigan is not New York. It's more like Iowa. Be smarter and quit looking for headlines. (Side note: Left her name out on purpose)

Covidiot Award Recipient 3:  Mayor Carol Goodman
In case you missed it, this idiot made a fool out of herself on national tv. Now, I am not an Anderson Cooper fan, but gotta give him props for not just straight screaming on this lady. Here's a link to a blog about her with video. https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/2337771/the-mayor-of-las-vegas-went-on-tv-and-made-an-absolute-fool-out-of-herself-in-some-of-the-most-painful-clips-ive-ever-seen
Highlights include ol' Mayor Goodman saying casinos should reopen but she wouldn't go into one because she has a family. She also claimed that she would reopen the casinos and they could just figure out what to do for safety. It is probaly some of the most cringeworthy shit I have seen since the beginning of quarantine other than AOC. 

Covidiot Award Recipient 4: Main Stream Media including Fox News
I am not here to take sides right versus left, but the media on both sides need to be better. The idiots at CNN and company will drag any idiot with an opinion and good camera presence that will say this pandemic is the end of the world and put them on camera. Doesn't matter if they have facts, educated guesses, or shit made up out of hope for camera time or a "news article". Fox News is exactly the same except if you want on their network you need to explain why this pandemic is either overblown, a hoax, or government overreach. All the national media is part of the problem. I have explained this more throughly in a 4 part series that should only be one part titled "No one knows shit about fuck." If we could get these people to stick to facts and not the opinions of experts making shit up that would be great. 

That sums up the new winners for today, might have a NCAA type bracket when this is all over. Til then, don't listen to the news, stay home if you can, wash your hands, and listen to what the CDC recommends because no sports til 2021 is a thing that shouldnt happen.

$1200 for 10 weeks

-
I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks," Mnuchin told CBS's "Face the Nation." "Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won't need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business." So, ol' Steve is getting murdered online for this quote. Secretary Mnuchin say $1200 dollars will last 10 weeks. This is popping up all over twitter, facebook, and my news feed. Wake the fuck up people. He isn't referring to the stimulus check. He is referring to the 2.2 trillion (best guess because the people who wrote it don't know the price tag) package. The whole fucking thing. The one where you are a guaranteed to qualify for unemployment if you lost your job due to coronavirus. The one that gives small business loans. The one that gives any waitress making $300 a week roughly $800 a week in unemployment benefits. This is why the news sucks. CNN, MSNB

The 61 year old potato farmer that stunned the world.

-
Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and hear the story of  Cliff Young . He has seemed to enter the realm of half myth, half truth that surrounds all greats but his story is remarkable. Full disclosure: I got this story from a guest pastor at church Sunday. Here we go.  In 1983, people were gathered for the Australia ultra marathon. A 543 mile race from Sydney to Melbourne. Most competitors were in their twenties or thirties and had extensive training and corporate sponserships. Into this group walked a 61 year old man wearing faded overalls and rubber work boots. His name was Cliff Young. He was a sheep and potato farmer from just outside Melbourne. Most considered him a joke at best, delusional at worst. Several journalists questioned if he would survive. This is where the myth/truth comes into play. Some accounts have him running in overalls. Others say he wore windbreakers with holes cut by hand for ventilation. One account claims he wore 10 pairs of running shoes throughout the race. W

B1G has cancelled football.

-
 The B1G and PAC 12 have cancelled fall sports.  Here  is the B1G official statement. I have been thinking about this and getting steadily more upset ever since 1:45 PM. This is horrible. I have avoided really shitting on the COVID-19 media coverage too much because I didn't want to deal with the trolling and "yOu THinK cOroNavIruS iS faKe IF yOu qUEstioN anYthIng!" crowd. I am done. Bring on the trolls. This decision has nothing to do with the coronavirus. The B1G, as a whole, is not concerned about player safety per coronavirus. Nothing has changed in the overall COVID-19 numbers between when they announced the season schedule and when they cancelled. The schedule was announced August 5. Per the  CDC report release July 31  hospitalization rate was 130.1 per 100,000 and mortality rate was 8.4% if you include pneumonia, influenza, and COVID-19 deaths. The  report released August 7   has hospitalization at 137.6 per 100,000 and mortality rate at 7.8% if you include pneumo
