Re: Covid 19
Originally posted by Hockeybuckeye View PostI may have to call a close friend tonight out of curiosity.
He's a career medical specialist and has been at OSU's medical center for 30 years.
He'll tell me if there's any difference between what is officially put out there information wise and what's unofficial.I believe in equality of effort. In life, in hockey in everything.

Originally posted by J.D. View PostDisclaimer because some people are morons: Obviously the virus outbreak is more important than hockey. Hockey is just a game. People are losing lives. I understand.
But, if this trend continues into conference championship weekend and the regionals...really putting a damper on my favorite time of year.

Re: Covid 19
I know I'm going to get pilloried (at least from some quarters) for what I'm about to post but I'm going to post it anyway. But first some disclaimers--
1) I am not an epidemiologist or medical analytics wonk. (And AFAIK, nobody else on this board is either)
2) I'm north of 70yo. (And will get even further north of that in a matter of days.)
That being said--
--I get it that there's a new strain of virus in the wild and that it spreads easily
--From what I've been able to digest, the effects are mild to moderate and run their course in a week to ten days
--The fatality rate is relatively low compared with other outbreaks and affect primarily people in my own age range, especially those with pre-existing respiratory or immune issues
--I live in a big city and continue to move about freely; I went to a college basketball game last night and sat in the midst of other humanoids; I'm observing that the restaurants and bars remain relatively crowded (and I've been a part of some of those crowds); ditto for the buses and subway trains.
--I have not been struck down, nor do I expect to be (at least not from Coronawhatever). Maybe I'm living on the edge and it will yet get me. (If so, I'll put in a good word for everyone here once I get to the other side.) But I refuse to stop daily living.
--Oh, and I do wash my hands multiple times a day. But I've been doing that since I was a little kid.
Summary (personal opinions only): Yes, something's happening out there, yes, we should be concerned, and yes, we should be developing and implementing countermeasures with all due haste. But what we should NOT be doing is whipping ourselves into an ever accelerating, self-perpetuating fear frenzy. To try and put this into some personal perspective, COVID-19, at least so far, doesn't even begin to compare with other scary outbreaks that have occurred in my life experience. So let's get a grip. This is not the Black Plague. We will not be having Tyvek-suited people pushing carts through the streets and calling, "Bring Out Your Dead!"
To loosely paraphrase Franklin D. Roosevelt, it's time we stopped fearing fear.Last edited by Split-N; 03-10-2020, 02:04 PM."Through the years, we ever will acclaim........"
