At that time the daily new case count and the active case count showed no signs of abating in California. The only data that appeared to indicate that maybe the worst was over was the new death count, which looked promising at the time of that article, briefly. Just for a reference California along with Texas, Florida and Arizona amongst other are the hot spots in the USA. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/coronavirus-count-state-day-2020-united-states-n1173421 Edited June 26, 2020 by Fred65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One highway across the state is over 800 miles. And, if you start at the Oklahoma border and drove north to the Canadian border, it would be a shorter trip than driving to the Mexican border. We also have over 30-million people, and places like the Houston metro area where I live has over 6-million. But one reason why cases are up is that they are testing more people-- You can get a swab for free or an antibody test for $10. But the stat in the US is important. Just over 2.2-million people have been infected with 120,000 deaths. Many deaths are for those already immunocompromised or elderly. Finally, the hospitals down here are not overrun. While intensive care for COVID is a concern, Houston has the largest medical center in the world. The Texas Medical Center has over 100,000 employees and more than 60 institutions, and serve more than 160,000 patients daily. And then fhere are all the outlying hospitals that are in the suburbs. Capacity outside the ICU is not a concern. Edited June 26, 2020 by The Colt 45s 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity outside the ICU is not a concern. It does seem though, by watching the graphs, that after the case count rises or spikes,. It’s roughly 3 weeks before you see the cases that require medical attention surface. How everyone’s immune system is different, and who’s to say that this virus can not be making itself weaker or stronger after it’s passed on to the next person.. mutating. ..and or,. How it cripples the ones who may be “at risk” with other ailments. This truly has to require the patience and respect it deserves . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm intrigued by this.....when I read it I thought that it can't be true, so I went to maps and tried to find a straight line route that proved you correct but I can't....I'm genuinely curious on this, can you provide proof?

And your assumption is that other States are for some reason r not testing as frequently as Texas, only the Texas stats are effected by more testing. Quote Texas reported 5,996 new coronavirus cases on Thursday, beating Wednesday’s record of 5,551. The state’s rolling average of 4,581 was a record and 340 percent higher than the rolling average on Memorial Day. The 47 new deaths were the most since May 20, according to tracking A lot of the current spike is related back to the lifting of social limits. What I'd really like to see is all the revelers need to identify who they nominate to die as a result of them picking up the virus during their party time... my grandmother, my sister etc. It may not be them that die but some one close likely will By the way BC is 30% larger than Texas and Alaska is larger too. I understand it's a large state and Houston as a city is vast and spread out. Quote Texas, which has been at the forefront of moves to end lockdown measures, has seen thousands of new cases, prompting Republican Governor Greg Abbott to call a temporary halt to its reopening on Friday. He announced that he was closing bars, stopping river-rafting, and ordering restaurants to return to 50% capacity to try to stem the outbreak. Texas confirmed a record 5,996 new cases on Thursday, while there were also 47 more deaths reported, the highest daily toll for a month. The USA has handled the virus worse then any other country, which is a dubious distinction. The has noew been 125,000 deaths dues to the virus. I see while in the midst of this corvid I see the Senate is trying to chnage the health care act to eliminate so many from treatment now and in the future.

SilentSam Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Is but isn’t relevant. .. I beleive most teams need to see where the Cap space for next season before any major signings take place.. As in Tryamkins case. . CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) Tweeted: The June 1 deadline for clubs to sign players to contracts that begin next season which was extended to July 1, is tentatively set to expire tomorrow. This was to give clubs additional time to sign players to 2020-21 contracts if the league held firm on no new 2019-20 contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that this major increase is also related to the large BLM protests 2 weeks ago. Combined with the lifting of restrictions, large protests, opening up economy............ a recipe for disaster? Oh my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 26 players just reportedly tested positive for covid. Ctv news reported. Not sure but I think all players testing positive should not play this playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where it’s going to backfire and mess up the quality of the “playoffs” this season , if this gets off the ground.. I mean seriously, is it so hard not to realize that the last 2 remaining teams might only be able to dress 10 decent players without it be coming the year of “the emergency call up player” Cup?

Here's my question why would a professional athlete risk his career for maybe a weeks, 2 or 3 games, and end up with Covid repercussions for life? They haven't as of today been able to measure the long lasting effects of the respiratory problems.

If I played at that level I would bow out until the next season starts. The PA and NHL could be working out many better things for the future of the game at this time.. Owners in cities with low attendance should be given pragmatic solutions to relocate .. Quebec deserves a team back. Another out west... portland, Frisco, Oakland , Diego.. Seattle is going to go off so well, looking forward to that. Fighting this Pandemic is just flailing stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 From Rick Dhaliwal twitter of June 29th: Quote ----We may be getting closer to finding out about defenseman Nikita Tryamkin’s future in Vancouver.With the CBA and return to play discussions moving forward that should provide the spark needed for GM Jim Benning's holding pattern to be cleared for landing and try and get Tryamkin signed for the 2021 season.Once there is some clarity on the cap look for the Canucks and Tryamkin's camp to try and work out a 1 or 2 year deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
