Ghostsof1915 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 How about we split the difference? Have Jake self isolate for 14 days after the incident. He's going to be tested prior to going into the bubble anyways. If he comes out with a clean bill of health, and is in good physical condition everyone is happy. Was it a bit reckless? Yes. Maybe if Jake donated to BC Children's hospital, or any of the lower mainland hospitals that would be a good thing. Not everyone matures the same way. Some people at 53 are less mature than others at 23. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports. Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 This virus has shown the differences between people with "prosocial traits" over "antagonistic traits" and narcissistic people don't you think ? I am not sure if it's because we have more prosocial people here than the South, or just because of more open spaces, and less people that has spared us of the same result as them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Lol I was clearly trolling with part of my post. I said dont hate on jake, hate on me. Then went on to spew some insensitive garbage and for those that I offended I'm sorry. I am fortunate that this virus has not affected anyone close to me or even in my distant circle (facebook friends for example, acquaintances etc) and that is obviously a big reason why I dont take it as serious as some. But Jake did nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you told me he was licking door knobs and shaking hands with everyone he seen, sure. Guy’s a goof. But as of now he’s just going out and I trust he’s being safe and responsible about it until told otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t a lifestyle issue, it is a physical distancing issue. Hopefully, no one at the club was carrying the virus, and this can be used as a learning experience for Jake.

the grinder Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 6 hours ago, wildcam said: Awesome post, just ridiculous how people are still going on about Jake out for a few beers???? Do you people go to grocery store? Did someone see Jake do anything wrong besides go have few drinks with his good friends?? What 3 guys and 3 girls, there all healthy and aware of covid 19? The decks and pubs are full of people having a few drinks and snacks, its not a crime...Its okay these people are aware of covid..I feel Dr. Bonnie has done a great job. Dr. Bonnie has said its okay to have drinks in pubs just be smart and aware...Is phase 3 not started???Okay enough... Big Jake is a smart guy so you ridiculous people leave this young talented man alone..Very rude assuming he is unsafe because he went for drinks? Do we not learn that gossip and assuming things are worse then Jake having a few Beers? Most of these people posting have kids? What do you say to your kids when there gossiping or assuming things??? Yes thats right, please stop assuming and gossip...Go read a book or go for a long walk..Get a life.. If Jake shows up to camp July 10t out of shape? start your gossip but until then Jake Virtanen has done nothing wrong!!!!! Go Jake Go -- Talk about positive things...See Jake's future - 75 GP -- 19 -24 G -- 42-46 PTS -- 23 yrs old - 6'1, 220, speedy power forward ! second - third line guy...Sure hope we keep Jake around... ya wait till the boys go to a movie next people are going to lose it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Sometimes I get the feeling that Jake is like the black sheep of the Canucks. Maybe his team mates rib him a lot, think he's arrogant? Does he hang out with anyone else on the team? Does he have any real friends on the team? I know Miller was trying to keep Jake focused and acting like a mentor earlier in the season. Is Jake practicing with the team? I saw Miller out there, but no Jake. I have my opinion on Jake's behaviour. No need to go on about that. The boy will do what he does, just like O'Brien and Kassian did before him - Canucks legends. Edited July 4, 2020 by NUCKER67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Pears said: But they aren’t in quarantine yet so they can safely do whatever they like until they are. This is phase 2 protocol. Several players have elected to stay outside of it as it's very restrictive but any player back at the team's facilities are in phase 2. The phase 1 protocol they are referring to asked that players self-isolate. The league is expecting that players observe stricter rules than local rules. ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF CLUB FACILITIES Outside of the individual training to take place at Club Facilities, it is important that all Club personnel, including Players, continue to adhere to the personal precautions recommended by the CDC, as well as any additional direction that may be issued by your local health authority and Club Medical staff. As such, Players are strongly recommended to continue to exercise “distancing” behavior, practicing the same social/physicaldistancing measures as observed during Phase 1 of the League’s “pause” in the 2019/20 Season. Specifically: Players and Club personnel shall continue to stay at home as much as possible and practicable and must avoid unnecessary interactions with non-family members. Players shall not physically spend social time together in close contact. As noted above, Players participating in Phase 2 are not permitted to work out or skate at any public facility or other location, except as may be permitted by the Club, and may not organize any Player skates or group skates outside of the small group sessions organized by the Club.

Testing doesnt safeproof anything. Numerous of cases have been documented where a patient tests negative but actually do have COVID19. Such as inhaling the virus directly into your lungs; the swap tests only swap tissues from the nose and throat, it doesn't detect catch these cases. More recent examples like Trumps's Tulsa rally. 2 members of his staffs tests positive after the event even though the president has all the resources in the world to test, prevent, COVID19 infections during his event. The bottomline is less exposure less risk. As simple as that. The inability to take COVID19 seriously is why it is still a ongoing crisis in North America when the rest of the world is actually moving on. And the posts on this forum shows this so very clearly. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
