  1. Never gets old
  2. This COVID-19 death profile is extremely significant yet is almost totally ignored by the media. Their focus is on cases, not deaths. The number of cases has not decreased as rapidly as the number of deaths. Only a small percentage of cases now end in death, and the death count is vastly more important than the case count. The case count may linger, but that problem is becoming increasingly manageable. The latest reported weekly death count (August 29) was 370. That's out of a population of 330 million people. In a single week, between August 8 and August 15, the number of deaths dropped 85 percent (from 3,169 to 455). The COVID-19 death rate in the U.S. is now barely more than one per million and dropping like a rock. Coronavirus deaths are currently half the number of weekly vehicle fatalities. We're now seeing the pandemic in our rearview mirror. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/09/the_pandemic_is_history.html?fbclid=IwAR1hax9scAcZEXBlP1oHpbM_OcBidyou4YbJElFbixaJVXPO7n7Rr9FOJtY#.X1k4ynpwKd8.facebook
  3. Bolts had 34 shots on net and never missed the net once. That’s nuts
  4. That’s your final. 8-2 Bolts
  5. 8-2 Bolts
  6. 7-2 Bolts
  7. 6-2 Bolts
  8. 6-1 Bolts
  9. 5-1 Bolts. I don’t want a blowout damnit
  10. That’s what the “experts” were saying. Bolts D is the best that the Islanders will see up to this point
  11. 4-1 Bolts
  12. 3-1 Bolts
  13. 3 goals already in the first 8 minutes. 2-1 Bolts. Already more exciting than last nights snoozefest
  14. Were lockdowns a mistake? To that nagging question, the answer increasingly seems to be yes. Certainly, they were a novelty. As novelist Lionel Shriver writes, “We’ve never before responded to a contagion by closing down whole countries.” As I’ve noted, the 1957-58 Asian flu killed between 70,000 and 116,000 Americans, between 0.04 percent and 0.07 percent of the nation’s population. The 1968-70 Hong Kong flu killed about 100,000, 0.05 percent of the population. The US coronavirus death toll of 186,000 is 0.055 percent of the current population. It will go higher, but it’s about the same magnitude as those two flus, and it has been less deadly to those under 65 than the flus were. Yet there were no statewide lockdowns; no massive school closings; no closings of office buildings and factories, restaurants and museums. No one considered shutting down Woodstock https://nypost.com/2020/09/06/its-now-looking-like-the-lockdowns-may-have-been-a-huge-mistake/
  15. They looked like they were pressing. Lots of unforced turnovers. The game itself was a bit boring. The total grade A chances could be counted on one hand
  16. Hard to believe Philly won 3 games. Islanders were the better team and you could plainly see wanted it more. Not sure they can get by the Bolts but it should be pretty damn good series. I’ll take the Bolts in 6 but would be real happy to see Brock get a chance to get his name on the Cup
  17. Flyers look old and slow
