Hockey equipment is a walking germ factory right now. Gram has been exposed to every bug on the planet if she's been following her gkids since Mites

Right. Because he's not going to Gram's house or anything. Is nitpicking your hobby or have you gone pro?
Re: Covid 19
What are you talking about? So it's ok to go to Gram's house now even though he may have already picked up the virus somewhere but doesn't have symptoms? I just want to make sure I have all the rules down.

Tell me if I’m wrong but doesn’t the NCAA statement say ‘upcoming championships including ...basketball...will be held without fans. ‘ It sounds like the decision has been made for all championships.

Re: Covid 19
Sigh. As has been seen the virus hits the older population with ferocity. Younger people are not as at risk but can be carriers and pass it on to others. The idea then is to limit possible exposure in all age groups. Harvard decided that meant canceling games. But they're notoriously dense at Harvard so they obviously don't know what they're doing.

That's my understanding. Every upcoming NCAA tournament.
Re: Covid 19
I already said the younger hockey player could carry the virus and pass it on to Gram even by just going to Gram's house to see her. And if you can have the virus without symptoms, where does this end? I guess nobody should even bother going near Gram until told otherwise. Is that correct? I'm just curious where it ends. I am not pretending to know the best answer for that.

199x HockeyFest -- the ECAC tournament was played at the Garden, but HEA (BC???-Maine???) was played on campus due to somebody getting measles.
I have already told my parents I would love to visit them but won’t. Because they should be as isolated as possible. I also have been telecommuting and have limited our public exposure.
On a different note hand sanitizer has been wiped off the shelves. Tonight on the news they demonstrated you can make hand sanitizer from isopropyl alcohol and aloe gel. If people are worried about that do a search and it will be demonstrated.
The hope is that everyone can limit public interaction to the minimum, then at least it will pump the brakes on this thing. The hope is that won’t overburden the health care system. Or at least burden the health care system less.
Our nurses and doctors will become firefighters for all intents and purposes. These folks will become our heros.

Re: Covid 19
Not to be a fear monger, but, all of these measure are the best we can possibly hope for, but, in the end, a lot of people...a lot...will get sick despite. But you gotta do what you can. It's so mind boggling that such a tiny creature could wreck such havoc (think Black Plague, etc). Bottom line: keep yourself as healthy as possible, avoid large crowds, hand washing, etc. I've been out of school all week myself. Going to the doctor is like crazy. Everyone in masks (as you'd expect). Signs on the door "We don't test for C-19 here" etc. I coughed in the waiting room and everyone glared at me! This will certainly expose how ill equipped we are for such a problem, but, just how ready can one be. I pray for all esp the elderly and others with compromised health at this time.
Ps...just being over 60 puts one in the 'high risk zone'...that's me, and alot of us I'll bet...

I wouldn’t have even responded knowing your background here. Kudos for still taking the high road.
Edit: i see a civilized exchange occurred.

Frankly, the Mavs can’t use the excuse that they had to go “on the road” as a one seed anymore, either.

Re: Covid 19
Excuse me but this is NOT the black plaque or even close. Getting COVID19 unless you are compromised in your health or much older typically when the immune system starts breaking down is not that big a deal. Until I start hearing that everyday healthy younger people are dying its just like any other virus.
Personal example, West Nile Virus years back was a scaremonger as well. It's been years but still very little is known about it. Most likely MANY of you have it in your system yet you had no reaction OR you got mildly sick, intestinal issues, fever, etc. A small subset of that group gets sepsis, encephalitis and possible long term neurological issues, REGARDLESS of age. Of that group, most often much older people die. I've recently studied this, why? i was part of that group with the sepsis and encephalitis, the sepsis almost killed me. I'm immune from it now but so are many people and NO I do not have a compromised immune system based on the battery of F##### tests they ran on me.
The media is blowing this up and not giving full reports, ie huge headlines deaths from COVID19 in Washington, it was only LATER they mention it was in a nursing home full of the elderly and sick.
You can NOT catch it twice as claimed here, and thats already been discussed by science and how that claim was false.
This is a PANIC

They did well against us when we had an empty arena from the blizzard. Hope tDogs aren’t a team that needs crowd noise
