Yet we keep finding excuses to keep kids out of school longer each year; and we wonder why we as a society aren't that bright ??

The virus will go away once we are immune to it, the longer we do this, the longer it will be around, pretty simple. Obviously you don't agree with my take on this and that is fine, we are simply not going to see eye to eye on it. Herd immunity works.

The mask issue has 2 sides, there's science that shows if 2 people in contact with each other both have a mask on that it's supposed to decrease change of spread. However there is some new science that is claiming that masks have a negative effect on the wearer of them, especially if worn for prolonged periods. I honestly haven't dived into the science behind it yet, so I don't have a solid answer. I think the bigger issue with masks is that many wear them very improperly and many find them so uncomfortable they end up taking them on/off, and don't do that right, so they contaminate their hands and away we go.

I don't mind the cancelled vacations, actually stopping intercontinental travel was probably one of the only smart things done. I would support that through the summer if need be. It's all the other nonsense, masks in public after we've clearly peaked, it's the dumb picking and choosing who is essential, tanking small businesses and then printing money out of the blue for a stupid stimulus plan that clearly doesn't work. It's going to be the absolute fallout this country will suffer because instead of coming at this rationally, we look at NYC and freak out everywhere. There was and is a middle ground in all of this between "lock down" and complete freedom of movement.

So the protest wasn't in Detroit ?

The thing that is frustrating is that literally anyone could have Corona because a majority of people that get it are actually just fine, possible even asymptomatic for the duration. If the US wants to shut the whole damn country down over this, they better damn well find a way to test EVERYONE and quickly. From the elites to the homeless.... Take some of this bs money to people that don't need it and dump it unto actual science and get it done.

They already are, many NY well-to-do citizens have migrated here to their homes near the ski lodge. It's making the locals.... Less-than-comfortable. I say let everyone loose and let the chips fall where they may. We'll all recover and be fine eventually, or we won't make it....

Oh NYC, you have ruined the planet, multiple times over.

@Elevenbe sure to spray yourself down with copious amounts of Axe body spray as well.

It's all good, get some Wuhan wings and play Mario tennis all night with them.

I understand what you're saying.... Give me shots on goal, hits, facoffs and the basic "meat" goalies save% and GAA. I was always decent with numbers, but I'm nowhere near the level of understanding some of the stuff that some of the peeps here come up with. I still feel that the stats are kind of a way to explain so much losing, I'm not sure if winning teams have message boards with similar conversations (I haven't followed a winning team in a decade now ?)

It's very case to case, the only wrinkle now is that hospitals are hurting badly for patients and admissions, especially in this area.... So some that would be bordeine or would probably be sent home may now be admitted for observation with Covid precautions.

We have to assume everyone that comes through the ED has Covid, or at least that's the administrations new "bright" idea. Anyone who has a cough or a fever is basically a Covid rule out. Almost like other disease don't exist anymore. To further this, a patient came in last week, known anemia and on chemo.... Most likely needed a transfusion and that would be it, but because SOB was a symptom, they became a Covid rule out, subsequently admitted for 3 units PRBC, but had that nice Covid tag associated with them. It couldn't be that the anemia caused the SOB like it has for 200 years, Noooo it's Covid.

Because fear mongering works

You think the education you're getting is the whole story? None of us are getting the truth. In a world of analytics and statistics, we can massage the numbers to appear however we'd like.

What's really sad through all of this is the sheer number of false reporting, shady business and etc. The WHO has been basically caught covering this up, there are serious reports that Italy falsifyed its numbers, there are many speculations that physicians in NY and the US are counting deaths as Covid without any actual proof and other causes of death. We have Fauci spouting that we can't have an in person electon in NOVEMBER (yeah, that's not shady). We have politicians spouting false science and keeping the general public in a tizzy. This is all coming through to me, as an individual that has actively attempted to avoid as much of this as possible. This recession/depression was not necessary, there were steps that could have been taken short of what we did. But it's all for naught now. I get what you're saying but there are only 6 of them on your doorstep and, those are family members from Kane, PA ? You're probably in the safest county in the US of A

You must be glued to your television and internet through this whole thing...

I imagine Carter in Josie's gym, stuck mid air with a sash wrapped around his lower pelvis ??

That may be wise, or at least check your tires for any issues that will go into the tube. We'll coordinate something soon when the warm stuff is here to stay

If you guys would like to, I would love to meet up for a ride this summer, we could take the bikes out and make a pit stop for wings and brews once the wold normalizes What's bugging ya that's keeping you from riding? Also it's amazing how quick it is to take care of bike issues now, with quick release wheels and etc. Ya know, as long as you prepare ??

I got screwed with the thinking that it's just a short ride, still sucked ??

This is very true, I wonder if we were a top team if the information stream of analytics would be so up front. I do appreciate the work of everyone here that puts the work in, hell, I think these posters put more worknin than those that work for the sabres. But at a certain point it's almost like being back in college and looking at work instead of enjoying the sport

Analytics and metrics have done more harm for the world than good, especially in sports. It takes away the joy from watching the game. I want to see the game and go "man that player sucks or is good" and leave it at that, I don't care what his XGF or corsi or what his Thursday afternoon stretching routine is. The fact we've been so bad, I think fuels the fire of why therefore increasing our want to know more of why. It's as simple as we don't have good enough players, not about analytics.

I went out yesterday before work for a bike ride, planned on 15 miles or so, I was staying in town at the hotel, it was chilly out. I wore my bike shorts and my jersey with a fleece over it. Ok a little cold but while moving I stay fairly warm.. Until 7.5 miles in, I get a flat, I'm in the middle of nowhere and don't have a spare tube or tire levers, etc... The people I usually call or message aren't up yet, so as I'm trying to get I figure it out it starts pouring and the wind picks up, I'm freezing. I started walking the bike back toward the hotel, about an hour later someone comes and grabs me.... I head into work an icicle
