SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeThe exact number wasn't the point. I think 60,000 was a number I've seen thrown about around here. Whatever the number is, it's a disease that, a) kills people, particularly vulnerable adults who are older, b) is transmitted from person to person as a respiratory disease, and c) it's not an insignificant...Leave a comment:

I watched the documentary on The Go Go's last night, titled fittingly, The Go Go's.
It was actually pretty enjoyable. As documentaries go, it was pretty short (much like The Go Go's career, I suppose), but painted a pretty candid picture of their origin as a band and their break up a handful...Leave a comment:

Minnesota is still pretty hardcore about them.
If you look at the guidelines in your link, the charge against Chauvin basically call for a sentence of 150 months, but the judge can go up to 180 months without it being a "departure." Online you can find the Sentencing Commission's...Leave a comment:

The question in the Minneapolis case is never going to be about Chauvin (the guy with his knee on Floyd's throat.) He's going to be convicted. In fact, he tried to plead guilty back when it was 3rd degree murder, but couldn't get it done. It won't shock me at all to see a plea of guilty out of him...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeHow exactly did you "call me out," or am I a hypocrite?
Back in March someone asked me to guess how many deaths and I said 20,000. I've never denied that. If making a wrong guess or prediction about Covid back in March of this year makes one a hypocrite, well then I guess I'm...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeOk, let me try this with something at least remotely similar to Covid.
I think everyone agrees that what, maybe 60,000 people die of the flu each year in this country alone. To combat this, we recommend flu shots, certainly for people of a certain age. We recommend covering your mouth...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeI'm not claiming there is zero effect. However, one of the things that I think you are seeing is that the high risk groups are doing a much better job of protecting themselves (or being protected, if in a congregate care setting) than early on in the pandemic. I think that's part of the reason why...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeBut let me ask this.
I think I'm right when I report that 75% of the deaths in Minnesota have occurred to people in congregate care facilities. I think it was something like 1200 out of 1600 deaths.
Realistically, how many of those do you think can truly be the result of people...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeI do remember my friend asking me that, but I don't remember my specific post about it. I assume you or rufus have it saved somewhere and are ready to trot it out at a moments notice.
What was my number? I don't think it was the 20,000 figure because I think that was my guess on the deaths....Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeI think we are doing it now. Maybe not to the extent that some of you, or others, want. But people are wearing masks. People are avoiding large indoor crowds. People wash their hands. I think those are all good safety measures to take.
Where have I ever suggested that people not go...Leave a comment:

SJHovey replied to Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020in USCHO CafeDon't we do this every day in this country, and all around the world?
We don't ban autos, we don't ban airplanes, we let people go out on fishing boats, we let people work on oil rigs. In doing so we know people will die as a consequence of our decisions. We don't want them to die. We...Leave a comment:

He should be careful. Wear a mask. Limit his time in public. Limit the number of people he visits, or that he allows to visit him. Probably all of the things he is doing.
