Weave

Singapore was specifically mentioned in the article I read due to its tropical climate, the lack of a cold season. But Brazil is on that graph as one of only a couple of southern hemisphere countries, and their rate of disease spread is trending along with the western European countries still in their cold season.

That was my point. The two countries that jump out at me as having trends similar to Europe and US are Australia and Brazil. Strongly suggests to me that a seasonal response may be wishful thinking

Singapore is the obedient society, not Australia. I didn’t think I worded my reply to suggest that. I don’t think it is any coincidence that the cultures with obedience more deeply ingrained are handling this better.

Agreed on Mike R. Best Sabre defenseman ever gets a nod over best 2 way forward.

The graph I posted on pg 29 shows how they have progressed. In Singapore, where they jumped on it early and the culture is one of obedience, the curve is flat like Japan and Hong Kong. In Australia the curve is trending like most of the western world.

Singapore and Australia currently disagree. I just read an article this AM discsussing likelihood that this may be a seasonal virus. The concern is, Singapore and Australia are effected enough right now to suggest there is not a seasonal component.

They should if they are serious about playoffs now.

Forgot about Miller. He gets my vote.

My understanding is, if those employees were given a temporary layoff they still would have qualified for UI, PSE still would have been subjected to an increase in their UI premiums, but those employees would have been eligible to come back once things returned to normalcy. I'm not understanding the need, nor the benefit to the employee, of a termination.

And it's not the financial gain, per se, that bothers me the most. It's the understanding that our leadership knew how bad this could get and chose to gild the lilly instead of enact measures to prevent the level of infection we are seeing today. People's live are being affected so they could project a warm, happy place.

LaFontaine and Mogilny were the better players, but Luce and Martin were very good. And in Luce's case he had a longer tenure. My vote is, this is on ice only, not off ice contributions. Four players that are probably about equal overall.

Just returned from grocery shopping. What a stressful experience. I'm somewhat anti-social normally. This was a different kind of stress though. I just felt like I needed to rush in and rush out as more of a survival mechanism. Everyone was glancing at everyone else with a look of distrust. Almost no eye contact. It was very different than the usual western NY friendliness that is usually apparent. At least toilet paper is back on the shelves. Meat and frozen foods, not a chance. The BJ's we go to had someone at the door dosing out hand sanitizer to everyone that came in, and hit every shopping cart handle with a Clorox wipe. Of course, they were also sold out of sanitizer and Clorox wipes...... When this whole thing was just starting we bought a bulk pack of TP just in case we ended up under quarantine and couldn't get out. I didn't think about hand sanitizer, and now I can't find any (not that I looked hard. I'm not making extra stops). I would have loved a bottle of hand sanitizer in my vehicle when I came out of the store. Time to fire up the Google machine and find a recipe.

Twitter post I came across this morning. This guy is an epidemiologist associated with Harvard and John Hopkins. Look at the graph for the US. So far it is steeper, longer than any other country on that graph. Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing US now accelerating upwards and outpacing all other countries in epidemic exponential growth. (Note log Y Axis: linear = exponential). USA is gonna be dubiously #1 at this rate. But IMHO TESTING+CONTACT TRACING+QUARANT is more important than approaches which only slow.#COVID19

Adding to what I posted earlier, what is really disappointing is, we are throwing a bunch of blame towards China for not being forthcoming regarding the severity of this virus ealry on (and rightfully so), yet it's completely obvious that lots of people aren't making a big deal about Trump calling it Chinese flu or whatever because it is factually accurate, they're doing it to deflect from Trump's own mistakes. Mistakes that effectively did exactly what the Chinese were doing early on. And now with the disclosure that several members of Congress profited from stock sales once word got out from China, it is painfully obvious that OUR government knew how bad this could get and pulled the China move of non-disclosure anyway.

It was near the end of the 2nd period. Maguire and Probert were already gone for the game. Play went into the corner. It got rough. Krupp and Kocur squared off and Krupp beat him in a decision. Suddenly Krupp was a tough guy.

I think Krupp was underrated. But Korab was a very good defenseman. I can't argue with either choice. Anyone else remember Krupp beating Joe Kocur the same game that Kevin Maguire started a line brawl with Bob Probert on the ice?

Val James based on notoriety alone, cuz there isn't anything notorious about the rest. Calle Johansson is a reasonable choice here.

I think it has to be said now. Ghost of Dwight Drane was likely right about these people.

Longevity as a Sabre is all Housley has over Hawerchuck. Dale was simply a higher level player all around.

It so obviously intended to whip up nationalism. How can that even be debated? The leader of our country is taking to using his own name for a pandemic virus for political points. Just simply distasteful.

And its not even close. If it weren't for a couple of seasons of LaFontaine to Mogilny magic, more would recognize it.

Yeah, there may be recency bias choosing Campbell.

I'm curious to find out if these people routinely have to re-apply at the start of each season, or if this is new.

I though it was illegal under NYS employment law. Curious.

Working form home. Just as hectic as working form work. It's not as efficient for sure. In my non-working hours? I've got plenty of whiskey to contemplate. For some reason this was the year that I received bottles of Port as gifts. Not sure why. I may develop a new obsession by the time this is over. If only I could find a cigar to buy....
