Coconuts Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I stand corrected, if a bigger league like the NBA suspended their season there's a very real possibility we don't see games or playoffs soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll meet you at the underground bunker in an hour! Nobody is saying this is the end of the world. It will pass just like H1N1, Sars, Ebola, but that doesn't mean that it isn't serious. If it does come here, which is likely at this point, it may affect people that we know, which may change some people's tune 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are with those effected and wish them a speedy recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I guess we Canuck fans can de stress. As has been said, NBA suspended season. So NHL will too. The billionaires are lemmings. Don't want to look bad. The NBA players looked pissed that coach shut it down. But that 'coach' obviously had been told by THOSE ON HIGH to do it. What an overreaction to an aggressive flu. Well I gotta go....going to buy $2345 worth of toilet paper...not sure why.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer isn't a wolrdwide contagious airborne illness that is doubling in size every 4 days. But you wouldn't realize that. You can't even tell the difference between the common flu and coronavirus. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube joe rogan podcast 1439 with Michael Osterholm. washing your hands and sticking your head in the sand isnt gonna work on this airborne virus. I would suggest you take your own advice and educate yourself. No one is suggesting that this strain isn't more easily contracted than strains, nor is anyone implying that COVIND-19 doesn't pose a threat. Those are really straw-man arguments that employ half-truths, the theoretical unknown and peer pressure to brow-beat opposition into silent submission. In such an environment, a balanced perspective is as hard to find as finding chastity in a brothel. According to the CDC, since Oct 1, 2019, 34-49 million cases of the common flu world-wide and upwards of 20,000 - 52,000 people have died it. On average 45,000-50,000 people die every month from the common flu. With this COVIND-19 strain, over the last 6 weeks or so, there's been 126,000 *reported* cases with 4,600 corresponding deaths. This initially seems to indicate that COVIND-19 has a higher death rate per capita than the common flue, but it must be remembered however that most of those deaths are occurring in China and the developing world. If Chinese reports are to be accepted as authoritative, 96% of all deaths from this virus has occurred in Wuhan. Outside Wuhan, the death rate drops to 4%. Even with common flu vaccines readily available, more people have died from the flu over the 6 weeks than COVIND-19. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/mainland-china-reports-139-new-coronavirus-cases https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-04/coronavirus-spread-in-china-slows-drastically-but-doubt-remains So stay alert, wash your hands, touch your face, take your head out of the sand and educate yourself.

Excuse me if I take the word of an internationally recognized expert in infectious disease epidemiology instead of a random CDC poster. As for your death rate outside of wuhan? The death rate outside of china is at 3% right now. Pretty much in line with the worldwide number of 3.6% .04% is way off base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 when the nhl is suspended the conference leaders will send their captains for the bettman coin flip winner's team is awarded the stanley cup there will be no parade route no parade each winning team player get the cup for a day with a 2 day break in between for complete sanitizing before moving on to the next player since all communications will by necessity be via cell phone or internet the extremely heavy use will cause the infrastructures of both to fail and people will need to say at home at distance from their family members and books will be back in fashion and high demand good thing i still have a collection can reread them all if the crisis is long have not read any of them in years now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 2 hours ago, GritGrinder said: If they put a cap on the season and then took 2-3 weeks off and then started the playoffs would be wild. Imagine if they announced that once each team has played their 72nd, 73rd, 74th, 75th (whatever # they decide on) game then thats the standings for the playoffs. Would make the next 10 days or so quite a ride. So, look on the bright side if his happens.....NHL comes back, our team is healthy again!!!

Makes you wonder how they'll decide things though, if things go too long they may just skip straight to playoffs Could depend on the playoff picture of a particular day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
