Food for thought: who is the president of hockey operations?

It'll be interesting to watch the number of deaths later this week. Reporting from Saturday, Sunday is always lower, and today probably will be, too, given the holiday weekend. If we can get through the next little while without an uptick, it'll be a very good and interesting development.

Based on antibody studies and some of the testing they've done on groups of people who aren't sick, there's an estimate of 20 million Americans having been infected (CDC, Dr. Redfield). That would make the death rate around .65 percent. Better, but still 6.5 times more deadly than the flu. However, the number of deaths is also thought to be undercounted. We're never gonna know for sure.

Yep, pretty much.

It's great unless it's close to your house, violating state law, and it's 12:30 a.m. and pets are freaking out. The lack of care and consideration for one's countrymen and countrywomen is enormous this Independence Day weekend.

Correct. Anybody got the connection between Randy Ireland and Billy Inglis? I can vividly remember the shock of Inglis as coach wearing off with the apparent return of good times. Someone else also appeared to bring back the good old days that season. That man? (Prepare Paul Harvey voice.)

Actually, no. This question just got a lot more interesting. Ireland did not play for the coach whose last name starts with I (and who played for the Sabres). But Ireland did play a large role in getting the I dude his job.

Impressive. Randy Ireland. The second was his coach for the two games he played with the Sabres. (I think... there was a coaching change early that season, but I believe Ireland's two games came after that.)

You're sexy and you know it. Now name the only 2 I's.

And the bizarre Lemieux goal that made Game 7 a necessity.

There has never been a Sabre with a last name starting in Q or X. What more common letter completes this list?

I do. I want to see the real Fred Rogers.

I blame Google.

Double wow! Yes, John Robert Eichel and John Richard Jeanneret.

That is not correct.

Lukewarm.

With apologies to Eleven... Name something Rick and Jack share in common.

Methinks they will start the season trying to recapture the double barreled magic of Eichel and Olofsson.

Ogre and cats is a revelation.

Please stop with the attacks. Is the analogy: does prescribing mitigation to a state or region and watching disease subside tell you anything about the cause of the disease? I'm not sure I get it. I think what you're after is what was the cause of the decline in fever. Do we know for sure it wasn't the virus doing virus things in NY to explain the decline in cases or the virus doing virus things in Florida to explain the increase, and not mitigation/reopening? Probably not. How long's it going to take to figure that out?

I said evaluate, not validate. There's a lot of good, reliable information on the Internet. We're about 15 years past the idea of, "I wouldn't trust Bob's Epidemiology Blog." Did you know anyone can log in to Medscape?

I'll be waiting for the "let's chill out a little," "be better or be quiet" and "we don't do that here" responses from board management. Is hand-washing proven to prevent the spread of viruses?
