Honestly, I think we're already there, aren't we? When 75% of your Covid deaths are from nursing homes & 85-90% are over the age of 75, with significant comorbidities...I think our treatments are just fine. Again, Minnesota has 400 non-nursing home deaths...Iowa has about 300.
No, we're not there. If we were there, there wouldn't be any question of whether football is going to happen or whether kids are going back to school.

It's going to have to be similar to an antibiotic. Nobody is afraid they're going to die of strep throat or end up in the hospital or with long-term health issues. You just get it, then go get an antibiotic and you're cured.

That's not realistic. Viruses are not as easy to treat as bacteria.

Historically, yes, because of their different natures. But it's where all the science is focused right now. Someone is going to figure it out. And when they do, it's going to be a huge benefit for humanity since it will likely translate to other viral diseases as well.

In the hierarchy of the primary tortilla chip dips, for me it’s

1. Salsa
2. Guac

big gap here

3. Queso
Has anybody ever eaten queso dip and had any desire to eat the incoming entree? Jeezuz I feel like someone tarred my digestive system after any amount of queso.

That WI schedule is approximately how it would look if you let them draw it up.

I think the only swap would be Michigan State for Michigan.

One of the replies is classic Jon Miller. Only he can write a congratulations and still make it about himself. Those people all deserve each other at HN
You mean the same guy who made a huge deal about leaving Twitter only to come back 2 weeks later?

Did you guys know Jon started HawkeyeNation? Granddaddy of Iowa sports sites.

Used to do shows with Deace and Z as well. And he was on BTN for about 2 episodes.

All true. Ole Jon Miller.
Two weeks on BTN. One lifetime game attended in Iowa City.

Also, fuck Charles! I'm going to head over to that shitty (in reality actually very good) mexican restaurant and sit there and eat chips and queso and post on Halo.
Covid O’Kelley’s, right? (*nudge nudge*)

I can’t read this without putting on the soundtrack from The Natural as background music.

Queso Fundito from Big Grove is nectar of the gods.

Barta says seating to be finalized in next couple days.
This will be interesting. Wonder how many may be allowed. Doesn't seem possible considering there are no fans at any games at the pro level at this point.

seating almost has to be a state by state, city by city decision. There’s no reason that iowa can’t have some fans based on the state and iowa City data and trends.

Does anyone actually find that girl mildly amusing or informative?
She’s fine. She is somewhat funny but my issue is that everything she does has already been done.

I understand why a 22 year old wants to work for Barstool. The girls who work there are worshipped by legions of frat boy Sean, Kyle, Chase and Tuckers. They instantly gain 100,000 followers on Twitter and it can springboard them into whatever they want based on that.

I wouldn’t follow her expecting any sort of real reporting.

Shes a 22 year old that just graduated from journalism school during a global pandemic. A job in which she got to cover her favorite college team growing up. Is it really a surprise she has to stoop so low to work for Rob Howe?

Eventually the novelty of being a journalist covering the Hawkeyes will wear off and she'll go find a regular job.

It's really something that when she tweeted about wanting to work for barstool that Rob jumped in and told her that she could do better than barstool. As if she wasn't smart enough to make her own decisions. Now she's working for Rob and HN. Can't make that shit up

It’s not creepy at all that old man tweets at cute college girl and says “you can do better,” nope
