PS just heard-that we have 8 cases 3-4 of which are longterm positive including 1 positive 45 days... weird but apparently not unheard of and supposedly not contagious.?
IMO full lockdowns become less important for all the reasons Wyld mentions... but isolated localized short term lock downs sure because of the difficulty in contact tracing and folks not following protocols. If there had been the leadership that NY implemented from the get go at its height the severity of this second/wave in other areas of the country would be a lot less imo. While we are seeing a slight uptick nowhere near what we saw last April near NYC. School are jumping on isolating any positive cases.
We can get into motivations and political bias minimalization v hysteria... but it befuddles me why mask wearing social distancing and washing hands became wrapped up in this controversy. Definitions of social distancing maybe I can see a bit and no shutting down makes no sense to me.
Jim Schoenfeld... oh I liked Perrault all right, but Schoeney could skate, fight and didn't take crap off the Bruins... plus as a kid I had hair like his...
Yeh Sam has always seemed affable sometimes to his own detriment... would like to see more fire out of him... but he is who is and probably is a calming influence... Hammy whatever.
oh and before that, crap like that was spread by gossip and rumor word of mouth. In fact that is still a mode of spreading false but plausible rumors. We used to call it whisper campaigns used in everyday campaigning. It was organized...
PS this also not new... been going on for a long time... check out some of the old muckraking stories from the 20s and 30s sold as news. Every new generation is shocked by it... but really it is an old tried and true tactic and you have to be prepared to handle and parry back.
So 5k to Rochester, what about DiPietro from Cincinnati could move him to Rochester as bkup and Johannson to Buffalo. Not saying that is what they are thinking but I guess it could be... then need to find a goalie for Cincinnati.
