At your age, HW, stay home.

Im more likely to get sick riding the Hastings bus everyday!

Do you visit the Chef when you go to East Hastings?

I live in East Hastings. Hop skip and a jump from the Astoria

I think he should offer to purchase lunch for you when he’s down in the area. He is a cheap prick though so you might end up paying

We could probably use a COVID-19 thread.

In case you're not aware, the American Hospital Association's current best guess projection is for 480,000 deaths in the US. They're probably guessing on the high side to be safe, but still ...

This might come across as morbid, but, do we get to vote on who is in that 480,000? Seriously. That number is out of whack with reality. It could happen, but, then again Ericksson could get traded straight up for a 1st rounder.

If it gets bad, we'll all get a 2 week holiday, and be better. Hell, I'm guessing some of the posters here don't leave their mom's basement more than once a month, so they're safe.

It's actually only 0.0014% of the US population.....just saying.

Now, its 29.35% of the population that will be infected by this, and 0.0147% of the population will be hospitalized.

However, the Spanish Flu was much worse.

Not that unrealistic... There are some 300 million Merikins.
Say one third get infected. That's 100 million.
Then add the WHO suggested 3.4 % mortality rate and you already have 3.4 million dead.

If you instead say one in ten get infected, that's 30 million.
Use less than half the WHO mortality rate, 1.6 %, and there's your 480 000 casualties.

It's really a rather conservative estimate, but then, I guess Mike Pence is in charge, so... yeah... conservative.

The NHL season has officially been suspended. No surprise. There is hope to resume.

I’d assume this will be for 3-4 weeks if they’re lucky. Reduce the schedule and shorten the playoff rounds. It goes much past that, just call the season.
