The arrogance is strong with this one.

You may want to reread your post because your “point” got muddled into your bashing of America for being over regulated. But you want to “regulate” people to where masks? My question to all who are in favor of masking and sheltering.... when does it end? What is the end game? When are we all safe to stand less than 6’ apart? I asked these questions early on early on of people who were supporting these actions and have never gotten a good answer other than “we have to flatten the curve”. Okay, that is quite arbitrary and doesn’t provide answers to my questions. Any answers out there from the maskers?

I have a coworker with an America is bad attitude. Here is a good place to do a comparison between countries. USA ranks pretty well in regards to regulation. https://www.heritage.org/index/visualize?cnts=unitedstates|romania&src=country Once upon a time USA was top 5 in this index and had been trending upward over the past few years until the 2020 index.

To date there are just over 271k Corona deaths in the world. Yet we kill people on purpose at a much higher rate and it is ignored

I have a vendor in Louisiana who knew of four people in the New Orleans metro who had it 3 of them said it was just like a normal flu. The other said it was like a really nasty flu. All four are over it.

Are these the same folks who “model” global warming? Isn’t modeling what they are doing to predict the future? The “experts” took the extreme in all of their modeling of the virus and scared everyone and look what we have. It almost looks dystopian going to the grocery store. Arrows on the floor showing you which direction to walk, lines of where to stand in line, people in masks avoiding each other. There seems to be more congestion at end of the aisles this way, than there was normally. Something just doesn’t seem right in telling well people to stay home.

The point was that they were supposed to have 40,000 deaths by now, if they didn’t close everything down. They have around 2,700. The “experts” were way off. I also, for weeks, kept hearing about flattening the curve or you would see a huge spike. Sweden didn’t seem to experience that. The UK, who did shut down, did spike, at least briefly.

By not shutting down their country, Sweden has lost just under 2,700 people or 0.0265% of their population. The predictions from the educated said that they would lose 40,000 by May 1st and 100,000 by June. Lockdown Stockholm Syndrome

I am in the construction industry which has been deemed essential. You are expected to work unless you are sick and/or have tested positive. Office people are working from home part of the time and in the office some if the time. People not working due to Covid are being compensated.

Fixed the link.

Agree or disagree, there are some valid points here..... "The Ripple-Effects Of The Government Lockdown Are Only Starting To Take Shape..." You would not, in the slightest, in any kind of sane world, shut down an entire economy and lock down everything when you have a 5 per 100,000 death rate for the overwhelming share of the population.

Along with Florida. Some of the beaches are opening back up. Escambia County officials meet on the 28th to discuss opening up Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key beaches. Also, there is about 15 miles of public park beaches between Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach for people to get out and enjoy the sun, wind, surf, water.... Plenty of room for a family to go out and enjoy and keep distance from others.

It would probably help if they didn't do stuff like this... Pensacola Florida break coronavirus rules Easter block party

What is disturbing is how the media see this event, as it does with most things, through a political lens. It is hard to find news that is not sensationalized, left or right.

That is the man. I have a friend whose parents had seats right across the visitor tunnel from Bruce. It was comical watching him throw comments the whole game at the opposing team/coach. Brooks wanted his revenge.

I have a story that I heard a long time ago and I am not even sure if it is true or who told me. A certain fan used to sit behind the visitor bench and liked to aggravate opposing coaches and Herb Brooks was one of his favorite targets. In an effort to get some retribution Brooks had light syrup poured on the fans seat, so when he came in and sat down he didn’t see it. Brooks turned around and had a good laugh. Hockey is the best sport. The personalities, the action, the rivalries.. Sioux hockey is the greatest with the best fans in the world.

I like this idea. Would honor the conference championship and differentiate it from the others. “Unfinished business” for the guys in the business suits.

To get us through this trying time. One of my favorites is the from the 80s against Wisconsin. UND scored a goal and a dead badger swung out of the rafters right in front of the press box. The place erupted.

My son had not heard that anyone else had come up with this idea and said, “well when you are playing a game and your mom calls you to come inside, whoever is ahead wins, so UND should win”. He is a teenager and was joking.

Evidently UND is still in the Big Sky... https://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/college/2020/03/03/summit-league-tournament-brackets-schedule-results-live-updates-ncaa-basketball/4825594002/

There was a manager who put together his annual budget, with reductions in one if his departments, as he thought that department was inefficient and did same of the same work as another department. He forwarded his budget to the people who reviewed the budget and funded the departments. They disagreed with his assessment and funded how they thought best. The budget was not cut, nor were the inefficiencies corrected. Am I close?

I attended a men’s breakfast at my church this morning wearing a UND sweatshirt. One of the men asked if that was the school that kept winning the championship. I told him no, it was the other North Dakota school and we talked a bit more about football. He asked if that was the D3 or NAIA championship, since he knew UWF won the D2 championship. He was shocked to find out that it was actually Division I. Funny.

I can post the “plumbing” plan tomorrow.

I am a contractor on the Gulf Coast and get invitations to bid on projects along the coast. I saw the Nicholls Athletics Building get posted today. After UND played there recently, I thought there may be some interest regarding this.

Is it just me or does Mankato remind anyone of UND 20 years ago, top notch hockey and a football team on the edge of a D2 championship. Nice to see our local team win it this year after failing two years ago.
