TSN: How the coronavirus could impact the NHL’s bottom line UPD: NHL Season suspended MOD Warning post139

Thanks...and thank you for your service.

I am sure that lots of us here are and were members of the service here so thanks from me and thanks from them too. But all of us military and not serve each other so we all deserve to be thanked for everything that we give to each other.

You are better than this.

4 more years of his bitching and crying coming up! Glad we have the ignore button.

Trucking, now that is a back breaking job.

I live in the furthest reaches of Northern Idaho in a "town" that is more like Northern Exposure then an actual town and we sit at the resturaunt/bar with a bucket of popcorn watching the news with fascination. A crowded night might see 11 people in total so it doesn't get too busy. There is a Safeway couple of dozen miles down the road so we all rushed there to see the lines of humanity and missing toilet paper but it was only business as usual. I have lived all of Canada (sort of) and been all over the world (for work mostly, military etc) and I am never ceased to be amazed by the kindness generosity and sheer ignorance of my fellow Americans at times. We truly are living among the best people on earth the only problem is most of us don't know it. This virus will pass and be another example of our greatness and our stupidity like most of these types of situations. I don't know about the rest of you but I sure am glad that I am an American today. I would hate to have to face this sort of thing in ANY other country on earth.

Small town USA, or Canada right now is the safest place to be. Everyone up here was laughing gently at me when I told them town was getting too big (34K), I want 100 person town, maybe 1K, far enough where no one comes, but close enough I can spend or day or two stocking up for the month at the closest Walmartish type store etc.

You need to live where I do. Our county doesn't have 9k people in it (last census). But then Couer D Alene is only about 2 1/2 hours away. Lots of open space.

An old military trick for the odd prepper is to buy several cans of Crisco and seasoning(s). You would be amazed at how good a little fat soup can be (water Cisco and seasoning) when there isn't anything to eat. High calories and fat content can help in a dire emergency. We got a tonne of that crap in our MRE's. It also lasts forever and requires nothing to store.

China is already heavily playing the propaganda and blame game on this and it’s going to get worse.

The US Govt pushes back by calling it what it is, a Chinese virus. And the worst of the worst in the media do what they do best, make it about racism.

Anyone at work? I unfortunately can't work from home. My boss said by the sounds it we'll close end of this week.

 

[HeadInjury]

I'm at work. My COVID-commute is the only bright spot in this. Commute time cut in half.

Those Networks calling the US Gov't racist were the ones most affected by what China did. The bigger pictures is that its going to be difficult to get an idea about what happens when folks go back to work, since they are in that stage.

Looks like the kids who were in school on a college campus and told to go home have gone on vacation in Florida. Apparently selfishness is not just a trait of baby boomers.

This is why closing high schools and colleges was and is a bad idea. You think these kids were going to stay home and sit with their parents?

Some "mean" boomers are saying they will check a student's social media accounts when hiring, and if they were out partying during this time, no job offer.

I mean... the outbreak originated in China, how saying so is considered "racist" is beyond me.

People are selfish , news at 11. We don't deserve this planet, and it's going to knock us the f*** out if we're not careful.

Ha! that's a new take on the censor bot...

Yeah, that was kind of my point. Despite all the virtue signaling being done by people from all generations, there is a percentage from every generation who are ass hats.

They need to put the Crisco back in! Una poco de graza.

Honestly, I think this is what would make the most sense. The elderly and people at risk should isolate themselves. We may be missing an opportunity to develop "herd immunity" if young people catch it and recover easily. A lot more study focus on the real threat to younger people.

No problem. This type of emergency is beyond rivalry. We should all help one another and overcome this virus as quickly as possible.

I think the entire world needs to rethink their relationship with the Chinese. They refuse to take responsibility for this pandemic, and despite being incorporated into the World Trade Organization in December 2001, they continue to fail to observe basic hygiene requirements one would expect from a trading partner. The Chinese have a history of starting virus epidemics which have affected the world.

Major viruses which started in China:

- Coronavirus 2020 - it is the Wuhan Flu
- Swine Flu (multiple occurrences latest 2019)
- SARS 2003
- Bird Flu 1997
- Hong Kong Flu - 1968
- Asian Flu - 1957

Think the plague (black death) will never run rampant again? There were two cases in China last year.

China needs the world. The world doesn't need China. Maybe if they were forced to observe basic sanitation and hygiene practices, things wouldn't be so damn cheap to produce in China.
