  1. Despite the pandemic, some states are seeing fewer deaths from car accidents and crime: https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/04/11/michigan-death-down-in-march-despite-coronavirus/5120360002/ Michigan averages 8,500 deaths in March over the last 5 years. This year, they have just 6,000. 259 of those were Covid related.
  2. I'm sure that $1,200 stimulus check will tide you over. At least someone is out there "buying votes" by offering more than the basic unemployment benefit for those who lost their jobs.
  3. It's shocking that the models have changed a couple of weeks after social distancing was enacted. Fyi, your Aids/HIV mortality rate is still lower than Covid.
  4. It's a good thing this is over and everyone's healthy. At the start of this thread you said the flu is more of a concern, when was the last time the flu killed more than 1,900 people in the US for 5 consecutive days? Sicatoka told us to look at the numbers because the rate of death for those under 60 was so much worse for the flu (hint, it's not). It's good we can see all the posts from when this thread started to see how epically wrong people have been.
  5. The Summit League has already accepted St Thomas contingent on the waiver approval. There are extenuating circumstances which would allow them to move up for 2021.
  6. Hospital workers are literally wearing garbage bags because there's not enough PPEs. That's the definition of not being supplied. Colorado ordered 500 ventilators that the feds seized. The state recieved just 20% of those. The government is taking supplies from the states.
  7. The US passed Italy today for total deaths from Covid 19, so no, we're not Italy. We're #1! If New York was a country, it would have the 6 most deaths in the world.
  8. What's the acceptable number of deaths from this? What actions do you think should have been taken and in what places?
  9. Germany does know how to do at least one more thing right: every healthcare worker is receiving a free case of beer on their way home from work.
  10. Exactly. For players who were drafted and played two years of juniors, they could then officially declare after their sophomore year that they're no longer going to be a student. Wait until mid August and they're now a free agent. However, if they choose to play for 3 or 4 years of college, the NHL team would still have their rights up until August 15 of the last year they play.
  11. Shh... we have a "medical expert" posting this morning. Oh wait, that's right @keikla stopped posting in these threads.
  12. Fortunately, it's over and everyone is healthy now.
  13. I'm not afraid of getting it. I'm afraid of spreading it to someone who is too weak to survive it.
  14. Literally from the Chair of the New York City Council Health Committe: An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee [source]
  15. Just shy of 2,000 people died yesterday in the U.S. Factor in it's about a 17 day delay between feeling symptoms and death and the U.S. isn't even close to out of the woods, yet.
  16. There aren't enough tests for the living, so testing the dead has been put on the sideline. As was posted above, those who die and haven't been tested positive also aren't being counted.
  17. Getting back to the 5G topic at hand, instead of you defending any and all Fox News crazy talking points... Let's say my G6 airplane crashes and I'm taken to the hospital in pretty bad shape. No guarantee I'll recover, but also no guarantee I'll die. Then, while in the hospital, I overdose on sizzurp and die. Which would go down as the cause of death on my death certificate? All those people that die of the flu every year, do we think they didn't have underlying health issues? They still go down as a death from the flu.
  18. Global Catholic Television Network. That's who the reporter who asked that question works for. I'm assuming it was an accident saying plural correspondents and not including who they worked for.
  19. The graph represents interest in the search term for that period. A 100 is the maximum amount of interest during that time while zero means no searches. Because there are a lot of uneven points during the search, you can assume there is a higher statistical range than normal. Most graphs will never hit zero as there is at least some traffic. In this case, there is generally no interest in REA but since the article was published, it jumped. The graph is created by Google Trends. I just grabbed a screenshot.
  20. Regardless if this actually happens, UND and the Ralph are getting a ton of free publicity. Google searches for The Ralph and UND Hockey skyrocketed. Here's searches in Canada for Ralph Engstad Arena :
  21. Make one thread called: "Let's talk about all the deaths not caused by coronavirus." Then, people in that thread can mention how the flu is worse. We will also create a second thread called: "Let's talk about how coronavirus will kill more Americans than the flu." People can choose their thread and post in there.
  22. Yet the maps of deaths in Germany don't match with the maps of cities with 5G. Northern Italy doesn't have widespread 5G, how do you explain those deaths? Peddle your !@#$ somewhere else.
  23. Brad buried the crap out of the lede: https://www.grandforksherald.com/incoming/5026497-Highly-sought-after-NHL-free-agent-Matt-Kiersted-makes-his-decision-I-had-to-follow-my-heart
  24. Once the country starts following the Shelter in Place rules and takes this thing seriously. The more people that act like they're immune, or that it's not so bad, or that they can't spread it even if they're not showing symptoms, the more it will need to be extended further and further. Honestly, how did China's number drop? Because they instituted a severe lockdown. Why are Italy's number's holding steady? Because they instituted a lockdown. Why does South Korea have so few cases? Because they tested thousands of people a day within a week of their first case and implemented a lockdown. Why are the U.S. numbers rising at a drastic rate? Because the lockdowns took too long and because many states don't have them.
  25. It appears Italy's number of positive tests is sitting steady about 21 days after implementing their lockdown. Their number of deaths is still rising though because of the lag between action and results. Hopefully, in the coming weeks their numbers of deaths will start declining as well. Currently, the U.S. is seeing the number of deaths double every three days. If that rate continues for the 21 days that it has taken for most countries following a lockdown, that's 385,000 deaths in the U.S. by April 21. However, at this point many states have not implemented lockdown measures and some places are still openly allowing large groups of people to gather.
