Just wondering how you feel about the NHL allowing players to go back home?

 

Do you think it’s wise, given no players are currently positive with the virus, and they will be travelling on planes?

Do you think the NHL has probably decided the season is over given this decision?

 

 

 

At the end of the day, players are just people like you and I.  It really should be at their own discretion what they want to do.

168,019 cases

6,610 deaths

147 counties or territories

March16 16:00 CET

 

Now at  1 in 25.4 dying.     Not scientific by any means, but when this virus got going in China the rate was  1 in 34 ish.

I read an article talking about how viruses change as they hop from animal to human, and when they do so they are "young" from a human standpoint. It took an evolution to make such a leap, and viral evolution is not uncommon, which is why we have so many flus and not 1 true vaccine, for example. As a virus' main concern is to replicate and pass to a new host, it is not advantageous to be lethal prior to transmission. Our immune system is different of that of birds and bats so the virus must mutate to use us effectively as hosts, and most importantly, those mutations are not necessarily bad for us as its an automatic compromise between the virus and our immune system.

 

His point? Sort of the opposite of your last line, and keep in mind 2 things: we can't really trust the numbers out of China, and we probably can trust the numbers out of Italy, but they have an aging population that is exactly who this virus thrives in.  

 

No source, can't remember where I read it.

Canada banning entry to foreigners. Citizens and PR only, with some exceptions.

Anyone with symptoms will be denied entry. 

But where will Scheer go?  Is it too late for him to run for leadership of the Dems?  Could he beat Biden?

 

:lol:

US citizens, unfortunately. Was my only wish for the day.

I'm thinking the USA will announce the same thing with travel between Canada and USA allowed only.  Screening for all though I suspect.

Symptomatic?

A few, but not all. No shortness of breath, and not really running a fever. But my wife was waiting on the phone for nearly 3 hours last night with Manitoba Health Links. She said the symptoms she and our 10 month old have, and they recommended to get tested. I don’t have any symptoms, nor does my daughter.

 

My wife, understandably so, gets a little too worked up. She said that if she was ever widowed or we split up and she was single, she would turn into “Karen”. Nice to know that together, we balance each other out.
