I'm going to commit the cardinal sin and look ahead a bit. If things unfold the way it's trending Van, Ari, Cal and Chi would advance making van the top seed coming out of the play ins. The bracket in the west would be
Avalanche (1) vs. Blackhawks (12)
Golden Knights (2) vs. Coyotes (11)
Blues (3) vs. Flames (8)
Stars (4) vs. Canucks (7)
Good matchup for Van?

avoiding them is a good idea.
But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss anecdotal evidence either. Sometimes common sense is a good idea too. If one known method of transmission - i.e. larger droplets - can be reduced thats a good thing even though i can't give you a fully quantified number.
Mask wearing does seem to have "an effect" and just because it can't be perfectly qualified at at the moment isn't a reason not to do it given how easy and low risk it is to do for the wearer.
i think a lot of the arguments regarding the need for mask use do in fact lack common sense.

Again, its a tiny effort on your part if you are going into public spaces. Theres no risk to you at all in wearing it, and the whole "freedom" thing is just pure selfishness (not saying thats you, just pointing that out).
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.

look at it this way, if mask wearers are correct it does a lot of good. If you're correct, then all we've done is make a year long fashion faux pas. Its a simple thing to put on a mask to help prevent you from horking on someone in public. Its really the least you can do.
You should actually read the WHO guidelines on masks. I think over all it is very sound.

Population density is likely a major cause for that (infections) I would gather. I look it as like playing BlackJack. Following’basic strategy’ doesn’t guarantee you’ll win; what it does do is cut down the house percentage.
Wear a mask.
Or don’t wear a mask

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.

I'm not totally opposed to that... I guess.
I kinda want Petey to be his own animal though. But just for fun
Petey - Bo - Brock
Pearson - Miller - Toff
Ferks - Sutty - Virt
Motter - Beags - Loui
Maybe something like that
i like this look, can anyone get in contact with Green?

I hold players/coaches to a higher standard than games played. To be elite you kind of need to be, ya know. Elite. He was a good player, found a place in the league. But was he ever in the realm of a Kovalchuk, or Naslund, or Tavares etc? No, they are elite. He was a serviceable player that found a niche in the league. He's an average coach and his biggest achievement is winning in a teen's league and going to the finals in the AHL once and as far as I know they did nothing else in his tenure. But hey, low standards makes us all winners.
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.

Elite? I mean it's a solid resume but none of that I'd consider elite. And what was his overall record in the AHL outside of that one finals run? Honestly, this coaching staff would really look solid if we went after Crow as well. To help Greener along.
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.

For a regular guy sure, but again that first one was Mike Johnson not Travis Green.
There's a lot of coaches out there with a better resume than one Calder final and missing playoffs almost every other time.
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.

No he doesn't, the only thing he ever won was one WHL championship but he wasn't even really their head coach that year, Mike Johnson was but got suspended so Travis gave Mike's orders to the team for the last part of the season.
14 years in the show, a memorial cup final and a calder final as well. that may not seem impressive, but it is elite.

Yeah, Green is losing me.
He's a young coach that acts like he has been there and done that. Except he hasn't. I thought he would grow and learn with the team but his cup seems already full.
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.

all of the forwards looked lost aside from Petey and Miller.
Ferland was good, fight, hits, and at least had a decent shot on goal. Who else had a decent shot?

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.

What's the rationale for the seemingly large reluctance in Japan for people to use credit cards or debit cards? Seems like 'paper money' is still "King". Is fear of fraud and or dislike of debt that strong? Though I do find it humourous there are apparently machines there that "launder the money" to keep them as germ-free as possible (paper money).
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.

The stretches that people will make to use data inappropriately when it supports their beliefs/opinions is pretty mind-melding.
These are simply bivariate comparisons, not controlling for things like pop density, prevalence of testing, quality of hospitals, air quality, and on and on.
i will take the side of the 25 researchers involved in the study.

except that japan and china have a significantly higher population density, especially in the cities. The streets of Tokyo are an extremely different animal than the streets of Munich. Comparing USA/Germany to China/Japan is comparing apples to oranges.
Actually the study involved 33 countries.
Coronavirus outbreak
in Off-Topic General

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)
