I think it’s going to end up being 12 weeks total break. Can the NHL take off that long and still complete the season? Revenue is going to drop a lot. I have no idea. I'm not predicting anything to prevent sparking arguments and getting everyone scared and worked up. Level heads usually prevail in these situations. No use fretting over something we dont know about or control. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil says Bolsonaro is being monitored for coronavirus himself and there is talk that he's showing symptoms. Trump was just asked about it and said he's not worried. Why would he be worried? His doctor said he was the healthiest person he's ever diagnosed before. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakanucks Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 One thing that also drives me nuts during this whole time, is all the people that keep parroting that masks don't work, and only people that are sick should wear them. Yet, I have rarely seen anyone outside of Asia ever wear a mask when they're sick. They would just come into work or go out into the public sniffling, sneezing and coughing. Also found this table on https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/guidance-risk-assesment-hcp.html, where CDC believes that face masks DOES provide some level of protection and lower the risk of infection. What we need to do is not discriminate the notion of wearing a mask, but to educate the public in using the masks in proper ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Hockey Place Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Travel ban on China? Cases in China are decreasing. Because they took it seriously. The only country that isn't taking it seriously is the USA. Where the President thinks he's a doctor, the Vice President thinks he can pray it away and half the population watches FOX news and thinks other sources are fake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, I have rarely seen anyone outside of Asia ever wear a mask when they're sick. They would just come into work or go out into the public sniffling, sneezing and coughing. Definitely such a different cultural piece. Most people in Asia wear a mask when they are sick so as to prevent the spread to others - thinking of others. Before moving to China, I thought it was primarily about preventing pollution - but that's definitely not the case. So they'll come to work, but they'll do everything they can to prevent the spread to others, versus the sniffling / coughing / sneezing that takes place in Canada (which all of us are guilty of). And I think the mask situation is partly due to inability to provide for all healthcare providers. In China, they've mandated everyone wear a mask outside. That's a billion+ people wearing masks all of the time. They re-converted hundreds of factories to making masks to increase supply. That kind of capacity doesn't exist in North America - so what choice do the health care providers have? They need nurses/doctors to have access to masks (and even then, they will start to run out sooner than later, if numbers escalate quickly). If everyone else is hoarding masks in the same way as toilet paper, there won't be any for those that need it most (including those with high-risk co-morbidities) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 NHL finally telling teams to fly home, no Nucks game tonight. If I bet $100 the Nucks wouldn't lose tonight does that mean I can buy $100 worth of toilet paper? Imagine if they called the season and the Nucks just miss the playoffs by like 1 point lol, that would soooooo be the NHL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
