Ramblings from a mind that is often irrationally upset about things

 Big brother is here folks. Google has now installed contact tracing technology on all Android devices. It's located under Settings in Google settings on all Android phones.  You can read Google's explanation  here . Basically, your phone will talk, through bluetooth connection, to all other phones within bluetooth range and record who you have been around. The phone will then check to see if any phones you have been in contact with have self reported a positive test to the app and notify you and your local public health office if you have been exposed. Sounds great, right? Nope.  First, the problems in regards to coronavirus exposure. Here is a basic summary of bluetooth range.   BLUETOOTH V2.1 BLUETOOTH 4.0 (LE)  BLUETOOTH 5 (LE) Range Up to 100 m Up to 100 m Up to 400 m Max range (free field) Around 100 m (class 2 outdoors) Around 100 m (outdoors) Around 1,000m (outdoors) Frequency 2.402 – 2.481 GHz 2.402 – 2.481 GHz 2.402 - 2.481 GHz Max dat...

 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% i...

“There’s a way of doing that,”  Fauci said  in an interview released Wednesday. “Nobody comes to the stadium. Put [the players] in big hotels, wherever you want to play, keep them very well surveilled. ... Have them tested every single week and make sure they don’t wind up infecting each other or their family, and just let them play the season out.” So, this came out today and at first seems like great news. We are going to have baseball. However, upon closer review, he is happily telling us that baseball is fucked with a smile on his face. Now I am protecting my heart by refusing to believe that baseball will happen this year and putting all my chips on college football. That being said I will be ecstatic if I'm fucking wrong and we get baseball but I refuse to allow myself hope. Let's break the statement down.  Nobody comes to the stadium.  This works.... to a point. No fans is fine and doable although that would be fucking eerie. But what about bat boys, groundske...
