Whether or not we can get the season done is another matter .
When flu season starts again in November and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sink in a hurry .
One of the models we ’ re looking at is a split season where some games happen in the fall and some happen in the spring .
Splitting the college football season would be absolutely wild .
I ’ m not even sure how you ’ d do it .
Do you play games in September and October and then resume play in February ?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi took aim at President Donald Trump during a Tuesday appearance on MSNBC.
Pelosi referenced an attack ad that showed her talking about the ice cream in her freezer — clipped from “The Late Late Show” with James Corden — and Trump’s comments from a Coronavirus Task force briefing last Thursday when he wondered aloud about the possibility of a disinfectant to combat coronavirus.

“So rather than spending time talking about the president saying we should inject Lysol in our lungs, and he makes a big fuss about my having ice cream in my freezer,” Pelosi said to anchor Nicolle Wallace.
Pelosi appeared to chuckle at herself, stumbling over her next comment. “That’s his latest today, his most current today, she has Lysol in her freezer,” Pelosi said, adding, “I have ice cream in my freezer. I guess it’s better than having Lysol in somebody’s lungs as he’s suggesting.”

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume explained on Tuesday why he believes the case for the ongoing national lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic is getting “ weaker and weaker.
” “ You say that with each passing day , the argument for this lockdown , this nationwide lockdown , gets weaker and weaker , ” Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum said after introducing Hume on Fox News ’ “ The Story.

“ First the collateral damage from it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reasons for the full lockdown was to “ protect our medical system from being overwhelmed.
” Except , he said , “ hospitals are failing across the country.
” “ The damage to our medical , our health care system it seems to me is something we really have to take into account here , ” said the Fox News correspondent .
“ It ’ s very serious.
” Hume cited the “ economic damage ” and “ budgetary harm ” as other examples : “ We are saddling our country and future @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was already high and now it is far , far worse .
Not to mention the toll on businesses with which won ’ t reopen and so on .
The unemployment .
The consequences for children being locked up at home and not being able to go to school with their friends and be outside , the mental health issues that arise from that , the domestic domestic violence … That ’ s part of it , the damage from it.

” “ Everyone else is much less vulnerable , down to children who seem almost totally invulnerable to catching this disease , ” he said , contending that it “ can be addressed ” by having the vulnerable quarantined .
“ This is not in my view all about simply we are so good at the mitigation efforts , ” Hume said after observing how the virus has failed to spread to places outside major metropolitan areas like New York City .
“ I think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this disease turned out , outside of certain populations , not to be not early as severe and dangerous as we thought and certainly the death rates I think will end up reflecting that.

Reade, in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation, called on the former vice president to release his Senate records, currently held by the University of Delaware Library.
“Joe Biden, I want you to release all the personnel records from 1973 to 2009 and be transparent about your office practices,” Reade told the DCNF in a statement directed at Biden. “I would like to hold you accountable for what happened to me, to how your staff protected you and enabled you, bullied me multiple times into silence.”
“You ended my career,” she continued. “You ended my job after you assaulted me. You claim to be the champion of women’s rights, but your public persona does not match your personal actions.” (RELATED: ‘Preposterous On Its Face’: Martha MacCallum Analyzes #MeToo Movement In Light Of Tara Reade)
Clinton joined Biden’s virtual town hall on Tuesday as a “surprise guest,” endorsing the former vice president and praising his work addressing violence against women. Reade’s accusation never came up in their discussion.

A viral Facebook post claims President Donald Trump tweeted in 2009 that he “would never let thousands of Americans die from a pandemic while in office.”
Verdict: False
There is no record of Trump ever tweeting this statement.
Fact Check:
The H1N1 influenza virus, which killed between 151,700 and 575,400 people worldwide, was first detected in the U.S. in April 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Then-President Barack Obama declared a public health emergency the same month.
A viral Facebook post claims that Trump criticized the Obama administration’s handling of the pandemic, allegedly tweeting, “Obama’s handling of this whole pandemic has been terrible! As President, ALL responsibility becomes yours during a crisis like this, whether or not you’re entirely to blame. John McCain, and for that matter myself, would never let thousands of Americans die from a pandemic while in office.”
The claim comes amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has so far killed over 58,000 people in the U.S., according to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center. The alleged tweet is a fake, however.
A search of Trump’s verified Twitter accounts – @realDonaldTrump and @POTUS – turned up no matches. Nor did the Daily Caller News Foundation find the comment in the Trump Twitter Archive, a database of Trump’s tweets dating back to May 2009.
