Yeah, I found that old outdated info, since Leonard was speaking as though it were still true I was wondering if there was info out there that suicide deaths were going up exponentially as well

Suicides in TN are higher than COVID deaths now.

Can you provide a source here? I cannot find anything to back up that in the past 6 weeks Tennessee has had more than 157 suicides

Personally, I don't like the 2:00 limit on replays. If we're going to have replay at all, I want them to get it right, even if that takes longer than 2 minutes.

I think about the only way I'd be in favor to reopen right now would be require that everyone coming have enough provisions to last 14 days, once here, mandatory 14 day quarantine at an empty timeshare (some of them are basically condos, full kitchens, 3-4 bedrooms). Can't live with that, tough, stay home

There are certain situations in which an NRPO has been granted access to Dare Co. it is handled case-by-case through the EOC.

I understand their frustration, but for every 1 person that might come down to their house, bringing their own supplies and food from home to ride it out in isolation, there are going to be 5 more treating it as a vacation. I am frustrated with the # of Dare Co folks who are leaving the area to go shopping and whatnot, for essential care, I can understand, but aside from that, there is really no other reason to leave.

But, your friend must understand that a small number of OBX residents crossing the bridge and coming back is much different than opening up to 300,00+ people, most of which coming from VA, PA, NJ, and NY (three of those states are in the top 4 cases in the country).

No, not everyone, but most are. That's why there have been no toilet paper on the shelves for weeks, or meats, or hand sanitizer, or bread, or whatever else is getting wiped out. People, in general, cannot be trusted to act responsibly. We have proven that time and time again.

So, if we allow non-resident owners, or tourists for that matter...what then? The number of grocery stores down here doesnt matter, if they cannot keep up with demand for 33,000 people, letting a few hundred thousand in is going to cause havoc. Unless those coming in bring all of their own supplies and groceries for however long they stay from their hometown...that's just supply standpoint.

Guaranteed once we open the bridges up, cases here spike. Our 21 bed hospital doesn't even have an ICU. Think they're ready?

Oh, they're not allowed in yet. I think they will be letting non-resident property owners come back next month, but frankly, they have no business being here. Since the shit hit the fan, our grocery stores cannot stay stocked for the 33,000 residents. Gonna be bad if we're inundated with a couple hundred thousand people from all over the country.

Not to mention our 15 cases will skyrocket as folks go to escape their own residences, many undoubtedly carrying the virus, to come overburden our resources

So far the hardest part about being back in the office is not being able to drink on the job (yes I know it's not even noon, don't judge me!)

Hey gang, back in the office for the first time in two weeks. My boss decided we were going to work remotely for a while, but cases have held firm at 15 in Dare Co. for 5 days now, so it was determined that we're back at it now

Starting your career at VT as a walk-on, then earning your scholarship and becoming such a key figure on the team must have been a wild experience. What was your biggest motivation that kept you going to push you from walk-on, to key figure on a major college program, to the NFL?
