This could start to domino like it did middle of March.
The governors of California, Oregon and Washington issued travel advisories urging people entering or returning to their states to self-quarantine to slow the spread..Maybe, but it's easier to have respect for an order/mandate/recommendation when they are at least consistent and across the board. Can still disagree with them at that point but at least they aren't playing favorites.

Grand Forks Youth Hockey Association
GFYHA players and parents:
As North Dakotan’s, we were all made aware of the new COVID requirements mandated by Governor Burgum this evening. These guidelines state that starting Monday, November 16th -
“All high school winter sports and other extracurricular K-12 school activities are suspended until Dec. 14th. This also applies to all associations, community and club sports”
We will play our scheduled games this weekend and continue to gather as much information as possible about how this will affect our hockey season moving forward. When we know more about how these mandates specifically affect GFYHA, we will let you know
Because college athletes that are know to attend large parties with other athletes aren't a concern....but kids that play in empty arenas and then go home to play Xbox are.

And Burgum caves. No better than the rest of them after all. Obesity is basically the only risk factor when it comes to kids and Burgum just enacted policy encouraging kids to get obese. Makes sense.

My aunt and uncle have come up positive.
My aunt says, if she was still working, this morning she'd have popped a couple Advil and gone in to work and had a "slow day at work". She's about Day 7 post exposure and Day 3 of post-positive test.
Glad to hear. That is the experience that 99.9% of Americans will have if they have taken care of themselves over the years and aren't 100 years old.

Moorhead schools going to all distance learning after thanksgiving
I'm guessing that will be the path Grand Forks takes after the upcoming Monday meeting.

Any word if any fans allowed in Omaha?
Unfortunately that would defeat the purpose of the pod. It will be nothing short of a miracle if every game in the pod gets played. Hoping for the best though.

I know personal responsibility has been thrown out there. I've seen it, I've expressed that myself in this thread. I've also seen people say they would be more depressed if they lost their job vs close family members. The 74000 deaths model is called the do-nothing model for a reason. I am just pointing out that the 74,000 deaths is realistic given the assumptions used to make it.
74,000 will die of infected hang nails over a long enough sample period.

It’s also fair to ask if Canada is counting deaths in the same way the US is. Not saying they aren’t, I just don’t know if they are. Without knowing that, comparing deaths counts between the two isn’t going to yield much information.
Correct, the old "with" Covid or "because" of Covid distinction.

Don't put words in my mouth. You framed the 9 deaths as a big deal, not me.
Manitoba has twice the population of ND, one-fourth the deaths of ND, for roughly the same testing per capita. This means you are eight times more likely to die in ND from covid than you are in Manitoba at this point in time.
"At this point in time".......huh, it's almost like the virus takes longer to spread to more remote areas. Manitoba is looking like ND did about a month or two ago. If Manitoba was testing as much as ND, including routinely testing healthy young people like is getting pushed in ND, you know that the numbers would be even worse for Manitoba.

The deadliest day for their entire province is only 9 deaths?
Wait, so now deaths are what matter? The moving goalposts continue. Canada and Manitoba did everything right? The border is closed so can't blame it on big bad USA. Yet cases are growing. https://bing.com/covid/local/manitoba_canada?vert=graph

Well at least Canada is really showing the US how things need to be done. That must be why Manitoba is spiking with record deaths......or maybe it's still residual infections from Sturgis.

Another semester of pass fail at UND and another semester of parents/students getting less bang for their buck. I suppose it's fitting given that students spend more time at mass testing events trying to win prizes than they do in a classroom.

Ladies and gentlemen.....pandora's box. What's next? If this is in the name of public safety perhaps venues should also require alcohol and drug tests for those on their way out of the arena after the show? Or is that different?

You do realize T (with lies) was the instigator in getting the cults to fight the system against using PPE apporpriately, social distancing, proper hygiene, and etc.
Right. Orange man bad man. We get your view.

4 hours ago, Feff said:What gets me about this whole pandemic is the absurd number of people unwilling to do even the bare minimum to reduce spread. Gods forbid we have to be inconvenienced for any length of time. Nope. Can't wear a mask because "You can't make me" mentality, can't social distance, can't put off purely optional activities because, "it's no worse than the flu." Despite evidence to the contrary. We have to have our normal lives at all costs.
The hypocrisy is what gets me. Some of the same people that think sports are evil spreading events are the ones sneaking their kids off onto special travel teams so their kids don't have to miss out ...just yours should have to miss out . The blue hairs that think the 35 and under crowd should give up bars, in person school, etc but the blue hairs should still be able to have their morning cup of coffee at Perkins or their unnecessary 12 noon on a Saturday stroll through Menards. Sturgis is still getting hammered for being the root cause of 99.9% of American Covid spread but the 3 months straight of riots in Portland and BLM protests other places are given a free pass. Don't sit here and try to pretend that 100 spectators at a JV football game is a huge issue but the Biden celebrations weren't. Be consistent.

Yet another mass test at UND today. Gonna flesh out every last asymptomatic case regardless of how long it takes. See you there Oxbow, maybe we can grab lunch after.

Don’t need to test as much if you aren’t in the middle of a huge outbreak. Would you like to compare more concrete death and hospitalization data?
Don't know that you have a huge outbreak if you aren't testing as much.

Correct, the government contracted to purchase the vaccine if they were able to development something. But Pfizer did not take federal funding to back R&D or manufacturing like every other drug company. This was intentionally done by the company to stay away from any political influence or strings attached.
They did it for money...which is why they didn't want strings attached. Whether Pfizer was or wasn't officially a part of Operation Warp Speed is irrelevant.....but they were incentivized by it and are gonna profit massively because of it.

Sound like a true Trumper, the best/most/largest/first of everything about everything. Sounds more like one lie after another.
T's lies, fake news, repeating false stories = loser. Washing hands helps. It's OK for T 2 B a spreader, but Biden fans can't congrigate???
Didn't you have Covid? Or have close family members that did? Maybe take your own advice and wash your hands......even though it is the liberal way to "do as I say not as I do".

Pfizer vaccine was just shown to be 90% effective in recent trial and is looking to it roll out by month's end. If there is one thing Trump can do before he leaves office it's get an effective vaccine out to the public. Biden won't even consider a vaccine until it's 100% effective......just like the flu shot??? Similar to wanting zero cases in his mind. I see he put Osterholm on his Covid19 advisory board....wasn't he the one advocating a couple months ago for another national 6 week lockdown? Any effective vaccine will be kicked down the street by the Biden administration because then the Democrat party as a whole loses power on the ignorant people who think government should control everything.
Just as many thought the election cured Covid. Chicago schools going back, Massachusetts schools going back regardless of their counties color level, and now an effective vaccine.

I'll wait for UNDBIZ's enabling response.
He doesn't even respond to it anymore which is as good as condoning it.

I'd be curious what legal ground he is on when it comes to the "including clubs and associations (i.e. non school sports)". As long as the mask part of the mandate is followed can he really stop that? Seems ripe for a legal challenge.
