Even Rodman wasn’t that effective in shutting down an opponent. you are limiting him to nba awards he might now receive nominations in the nhl, baseball, mls, maybe even the nfl - if that league gets sidetracked as well ps... just in case anyone misunderstands the humor i do not hold gobert at all responsible i believe he is simply the random first pro athlete diagnosed too bad he did a silly display visible on national tv just prior to his diagnosis as that just gives him a bad look i found his apology to be sincere, timely and credible good for him that he stood up and faced the music Edited March 21, 2020 by coastal.view 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think, hey, let's walk the park or seawall ... not realizing there are 1000 other people now at home thinking the same thing. technically the seawall should be OK if everyone keeps their distance.... but then as you say what if there are 1000 other people doing it too? does that change the odds? lots of factors there. Maybe early morning would be OK I guess. I recently moved from that area and when i took the dog out at 7am it was a ghost town in the olympic village.

U.S. 22,132 cases 282 deaths 1.2% mortality Italy 53,578 cases 4,825 deaths 9% mortality. 4.2% worldwide rate of mortality. While i 100% agree with people doing what the Canadian authorities tell them, the %'s will always be a little off due to lack of testing / unreported cases. But, i believe overall we'll manage better here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV's Coin Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, HKSR said: Maybe... I'd assume there'd be lots of insurance payouts too? (ie. health) Banks are losing out on interest and deferral of payments? Have yet to know about law and legal claims... that'll probably come later. Insurance could be hit hard if corona virus shuts down businesses and that triggers "business interruption" coverage. Business Interruption insurance covers a business financial loss such as lost profits and paying for ongoing expenses such as rent, hydro, etc when a business can no longer operate due to an insured risk. For instance a fire burns a restaurant down they can put in a claim for their financial losses if they have business Interruption coverage. there are options to even cover salaries of some or all employees Financial losses and ongoing expenses are usually covered for a year but can be longer so we are talking large payouts depending on how long these shutdowns will continue. I have to read a policy to see if a shut down due to pandemic or civil order is covered. If so expect higher insurance premiums going forward.

Jester13 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 21 hours ago, Ray_Cathode said: Which talking point, exactly? Novel simply means ‘new’, it still exists within a class of viruses similar in many respects to influenza. One major issue here is lack of data gathered over a long enough time to determine actual death rates. As our experience with novel viruses accumulates, death rates drop significantly from initial measurements - which is why I said that the story on this virus will not be known for a considerable time. There are several factors here. At the onset of an outbreak many people get the virus but do not show significant symptoms and therefore don’t get included in the set of those infected. Secondly, initially only those showing significant symptoms get tested - so we don’t Know the denominator of the equation. Over time the death rate almost always drops significantly simply due to these measurement issues. Secondly, worst case estimates do not include what we do to ameliorate transmission, make treatment more effective (finding existing available treatments), developing new treatments, and developing vaccines. https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/16/lower-coronavirus-death-rate-estimates/ The talking point I highlighted. And, yes, novel means new, which is exactly my point. It's not the flu, which we know lots about. We do not have a vaccine for C-19, nor do we know everything about it yet. However, what we do know is very concerning, see below: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
