Why was post #72, my rebuttal got deleted?  It wasn't offensive or anything just a well reasoned response.

Just moved to general Covid discussion. The other site is more about the Tour specifically.🙂

Listened to the NLU podcast that came out today. I guess cam champ, who tested positive, has taken 3 more tests since then that have all come back negative. There is so much gray area here.

I'm not even sure it's gray area so much as whatever the false positive and false negative rates for the tests are.  I haven't paid close enough attention to even know if those values are known.

60 minutes did a report on a test kit that was suppose to check for antibodies.   The idea of the test kit was to determine if you had the Coronavirus at one time.   I believe they found that only about 20% of the test were accurate.   I believe it will be quite some time before we have an accurate test.

Problem with these tests are that some of the tests have a very low sensitivity and/or selectivity.  In the beginning, CDC's tests were basically useless.  Even some test now, you see them to be only 60-70% accurate.  I am sure other tests have much higher sensitivity and selectivity.  But we don't know which test people are actually using.

Regardless, no test is 100% accurate.  So it is not surprising to see some false positive (and probably some false negative as well.

    • Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.  
    • Tell me about it - shouldn’t have second guessed…
    • My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.
    • MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:
