  1. So many goodies in that report from the WHO: Outside of medical facilities, some outbreak reports related to indoor crowded spaces (40) have suggested the possibility of aerosol transmission, combined with droplet transmission, for example, during choir practice (7), in restaurants (41) or in fitness classes.(42) In these events, short-range aerosol transmission, particularly in specific indoor locations, such as crowded and inadequately ventilated spaces over a prolonged period of time with infected persons cannot be ruled out. However, the detailed investigations of these clusters suggest that droplet and fomite transmission could also explain human-to-human transmission within these clusters. Further, the close contact environments of these clusters may have facilitated transmission from a small number of cases to many other people (e.g., superspreading event), especially if hand hygiene was not performed and masks were not used when physical distancing was not maintained.(43)
  2. were you in Surrey and did this person refer to themselves as royalty?
  3. i think a lot of the arguments regarding the need for mask use do in fact lack common sense.
  4. i think this is correct. but i could be wrong as well too. hope he is able to continue his career.
  5. the guidelines are little more specific and detailed than the BBC's filtering of them. Sure the freedom argument is dodgy, but the lack of science to support their use argument is not. Again that is why they are not mandatory in a lot of countries, regions and so forth. Would I wear a mask in a small space, poor ventilated and with a lot of people for an extended period - yes, and I have. But my normal thing to do is avoid those places all together.
  6. You should actually read the WHO guidelines on masks. I think over all it is very sound.
  7. Masks in most places are not mandatory for a reason. It's based on the lack of research in actual non-lab settings to support their use. Said it many times Japan is a mask wearers heaven and yet infections are going up, same with other mask lover paradises. If a store wants people to wear masks fine - no shirt no service. But people should just respect someones decision on the issue and keep their social distance and mind their own business.
  8. Even though you have never attained those standards yourself. How many games did you play or coach in a major junior league? Anyone that makes it to the NHL is elite.
  9. anyone that makes it to the NHL as a player (14 years) and coach is elite in my books. And the stats of making it would support this. Green if you count playoff games has over a 1000 games in the show.
  10. Green is now under the most pressure he has been since joining the big team. Let’s see what he does to help this team. I think we are going to see a different team tomorrow both in terms of personnel and play. They got another level.
  11. 14 years in the show, a memorial cup final and a calder final as well. that may not seem impressive, but it is elite.
  12. Green has a good resume. It was one game. Bad penalties, a soft first goal and a poor block both on the pk decided the game. I can see why Green didn't make adjustments. I think this next game is the biggest of his time with us. Let's see what what kind of adjustments he makes. However at the end of the day it is up to the players. For example I love Boeser, but at this stage can he really try and load up and launch bombs. He needs to get greasy. Same with a lot of other guys. For me Green's evaluation starts tomorrow.
  13. Ferland was good, fight, hits, and at least had a decent shot on goal. Who else had a decent shot?
  14. Jake or mac will be in next game. Ferland needs to be on the top line. Toffoli was invisible and Pearson cost the game. Boeser is too predictable he needs to get dirty. Quinn Hughes is amazing to watch. EP showed some brass ones tonight, but Green needed to make the adjustments sooner.
  15. with 98% of the population wearing masks as well!
  16. Cashless culture is slowly gaining here. But japan's culture is still in some aspects very analog and money is one of them. It is quite safe here so people don't seem afraid to carry large sums of cash on them. I see more and more people purchasing their groceries with credit cards in order to get points. For me the annoying point is you have to carry a lot of coin on you because nothing is rounded up or down.
  17. i will take the side of the 25 researchers involved in the study.
  18. Actually the study involved 33 countries.
