  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 :
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I imagine this decision is more about the crowding of the markets and not about the inability to buy fresh produce. In other parts of the world that have a lower infection and death rate, the farmer's markets are still open because people are actually heeding the two-meters distance suggestion.
  10. At least you're not dramatic. It's good North Dakota has collected hundreds of billions in taxes* on oil companies to help those affected when the oil field runs dry, when the price of oil drops below financially viable levels, or when the area joins the rest of the world in investing significantly in renewable energy. *oh wait... that's right, they screwed that one up too. Gotta be business friendly and give great deals so companies can come in with unsafe working conditions to pillage the land and earn as much money for themselves as possible. That's the true American way!
  11. None of those stats are accurate. Instead of saying infected, it should say have tested positive. NY is testing more people than SD and CA. If you can't test less than 1/5 of the people who have symptoms, your numbers of positive tests will always be low.
  12. Good to see you're moving the goalposts. As a doctor, I'd like to think you know how epidemics work and that averaging out deaths over the full length of time is ridiculous until it's over. The average weekly death rate in the US tells us nothing other than it was slow to start and gets worse over time, just like any pandemic or even the flu season.
  13. It took one month for the US to go from one to 2,000 deaths from coronavirus. It took 48 hours to go from 1,000 to 2,000. 401 died Friday, 525 died yesterday. It's only going to get worse because most states aren't taking drastic enough measures so it's going to keep spreading.
  14. Apparently Berry won Coach of the Year in NCHC. Shocking how nobody has mentioned it here.
  15. Berry liked Chesley's tweet announcing he was going to NTDP.
  16. Apologies. I misquoted the information. We'll pass the average number of deaths per day during the 2017 calendar year (the last year they have specific numbers for).
  17. 152.5 for Flu and Pneumonia according to the CDC.
  18. Today (Tuesday), the daily number of deaths from Coronavirus in the U.S. will top the daily number of deaths from the flu this season. 2/3rds of them will be outside of New York.
  19. Man, going from Wisconsin to Tempe from September - May.
  20. Here = Germany. I'm pointing out that people aren't trying to get rich off a pandemic over here, whereas in the states, lots of people are me me me.
  21. I guess I missed the part where I said people were celebrating. But there's certainly a lot of people saying it's not a big deal because the person would have died from something else. Sure, they probably would have but they wouldn't have died this week and that's the point. Yeah, lots of people die from the flu, and drunk driving, and choking but none of that should diminish the deaths caused by this.
  22. Here it's because of need. People aren't buying cases full of it and trying to make a buck off it. Most will get a bottle or two and make sure there's more for others. I can still get toilet paper at every store, just not hand sanitizer. The media coverage here has been 100% on how big of a virus this is and how it could shut down the EU. No politics about it. Nobody calling the seriousness of it a hoax. That's the biggest difference between coverage here and in the states on this. Both countries have journalists pointing out how serious this is and yet the response by the people has been incredibly different.
  23. The attitude that some of you have that you don't care about people dying from this because they're already old or sick is pathetic.
