I have never lost a case at trial. Now that doesn’t mean I am Perry Mason of civil cases or that I am brighter than anyone at the other table. Quite the opposite on both counts.

It means this: I was taught something early that most people, especially attorneys who advocate never quite grasp. First, be scared of what you don’t know that you don’t know. More importantly, and this is where our society collectively fails spectacularly in this age of intractable issue advocacy, always assume you could be wrong and try every day to prove to yourself, not that you are correct, but that you missed the trees due to the forest. It happens more to all of us than we care to admit. That is the true meaning of “taking the red pill”.

Nobody was more concerned about the seriousness of this virus in March and April than me. The more I have tried to discover what I don’t know that I don’t know, the more that I worked to prove myself wrong, the more pros I have spoken to on the topic, and the less that I’ve just accepted what the group thinks, the more my views on this have changed. It’s not nearly as deadly and not nearly as easily spread as we were made to accept as fact.

Right now, this is the flu which is in itself very serious for a small segment of the population. Those people should take all appropriate steps to protect themselves. It’s just not grab your bug out bag serious for the rest of us. We have another flu season to contend with going forward.

We will likely have another big wave of this in late summer and early fall but it will miraculously dissipate by thanksgiving.

How is this going to effect Metz, our punter, and Mamadou Diarra? The article I found doesn't really say if it is going to apply to athletic scholarships.
