I saw a good video on this. It's just the reporting period. There is always a lag in the reporting cause of death and 2020 is no different than the prior years. All the other years had substantially similar reports as 2020 for the same time periods.

Medical folks in ND and elsewhere - - Do you think we are prepared from a medical capacity/supply standpoint?

Can the Mods start a thread for only medical experiences from the medical professionals, and questions for them? Leave the political crap for this threat, and have one for ONLY medical information. Many folks here have actual first hand experience with how the medical facilities are dealing with this issue. I'd like to hear from them.

Have you done a survey to determine the political leanings of the folks on the beaches, mardi gras, etc.? My guess is the kids at concerts, mardi gras, licking toilets, lean more toward Bernie than trump... (but undoubtedly there are morons out there in both political camps).

Queue up the Rolling Stones...

That’s not an example. That’s an implied insult on something you clearly have no information.

For what it’s worth, I talked to someone very connect to the Governor's office yesterday. Was told that Doug would much prefer to not issue a shelter in place order. I got the impression he’ll err on the side of staying the course if the decision is a coin flip...

There are a ton of unknowns, and also a ton of knowns. Unemployment even in our state is increasing dramatically. There are not a lot of options for those folks. This week I have personally had (2) young relatives in service industries lose their jobs. Thankful our family is able to help them and they will be fine, otherwise they would be screwed. Many folks are not so fortunate. This is impacting the mental health of people, especially the younger folks. It's definitely a balancing act, but we need to implement a plan to restart the economy while taking all the reasonable precautions that we can. At this point this is strictly about mitigating all classifications of damages.

You have to be incredibly good to be a top two line guy in the NHL. Does Guch have the ability and skill set to be a 3rd or 4th line guy? There's a long list of college scorers that ain't gonna be PP guys in the NHL, and don't have the skill set to be a 3rd/4th line guy. There's a reason guys like Porter/Rowney/Ryan Johnson get a shot in the NHL and Duncan, Kristo.... don't.

If he leaves early his signing bonus won’t in the same universe as free agent AHL or Europe money.

You don’t think that’s essentially what he’s doing?

Yep, definitely out of proportion for both calls and puts.

Thank god for big pharma, Walmart, Amazon, the telecoms, private sector medical providers and the like... They will lead us out of this, not the government. They are all stepping up in a huge way.

As long as both JBD and Kierstad don't both leave we should be in pretty good shape. The (F) group should be at least on par with last year unless there are unexpected departures.

Italy Stats for first 1000 deaths: Average age - 80.3 47% of deceased had at least 2-3 preconditions. 2 deaths under 40 years of age. (both had preconditions)

It's sure trending that way. I'll take the under, which is probably bet down to -240 by now. May need to adjust the line to Thursday 5:00 p.m. What's the action if I parlay that with school being done for the year and taking the under 1m deaths?

My anecdotal story this morning - Went to a nice local donut shop in Bismarck this morning around 8:00. Typically it’s packed with a 10-15 person line at that time. Literally not one person there. I’m more concerned for consumer based small businesses than for the general public health. Take the necessary reasonable precautions and live your life!

...and it would be awkward for teams to make the decision if they would want some of the seniors for another year instead of deferring, and possibly losing, incoming players.

Please stop exercising rational thought and common sense. In a time like this neither are appropriate. The world is ending and nothing will ever be the same. I forgot - Go get a couple years worth of toilet paper. It's your only hope of survival.

NCAA shuts it down. No tournament.

And the administration at the time (2009) was VERY slow to do anything (which may or may not have been the appropriate reaction). Just another indication of how this stuff is reported and judged.

Odds the games are played this weekend? If the NCHC is going to cancel for next week, there isn't much of a reason to play the games this week. (I know they would impact PWR, but that is kinda out the window at the moment...)

You don't need to be Nostradamus to see what's coming here.

The decision they are making now is to have it without fans or cancel it all together. Fans in attendance seems a distant 3rd place of the 3 options.
