maybe she has been having a shitty week and all day she'd been thinking about a can of shitty chicken noodle soup that is her guilty pleasure comfort food because she used to eat it a lot with her dad before he died and it always makes her feel better - then she gets to the store and a bunch of panicking idiots have bought all the shitty canned food.


Oooookay I mean then just hold the meltdown til you get back to the car this is flu pandemic now no time for crying in the store grab some soup and keep it moving

Probs better to have something canned in a situation like this though I guess you could make the soup and freeze it.

But why would it matter? There is no extreme event coming that's going to cause power outages or prevent cooking ?

Thanks for making this, I was starting to get antsy without an NHL topic as refuge.

I was wondering what kind of leeway they have to alter the playoff schedule, or if there'd need to be NHLPA signoff. Like, could they do any of the following:

-Skip the first round and just start at divisional 1 vs 2
-Best 3 of 5 instead of 4 of 7 for one or more rounds
-Just stick St Louis and Boston in a quarantined area and have them play in the Cup finals

Honestly not sure about what rules are in place for these type of scenarios. I'd imagine the players / fans would much rather see the normal playoff size and structure with a best of 5 instead of a best of 7 with half the teams. Who knows though.

I didnt see a new topic so I thought I'd continue the discussion...

I've heard mark Cuban has said that the NBA is going to propose to not finish the season but rather have teams play maybe q handful of games over a 2 week period to get the rust off then have playoffs based on current seeding (along with however many games they play when they come back).

I'm imagining the NHL follows the same example but obviously we have no idea how this will play out.

Estimate from the world health organization: 3.4%
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/#who-03-03-20

Other places on that page go into detail about how it could be better than that but could actually be worse, it is hard to estimate. That said, let's assume it's 3.4%

That means if everybody gets it, 1 in 33 people WILL DIE. Ok, That's a BIG FUCKING DEAL.

Now please please step out of your corporate sicophant shoes for a second and let's get serious about what money can do. Money can make sure tests are ubiquitous, we don't need "some tests" we need a fuckton of tests. Currently the US has done 4,384 tests for a population of 327 million, in the UK they've done 24,900 tests for a population of 66 million, in South Korea they've had 100,000 tests for a population of 51 million:
https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-testing-numbers/607714/

We are lagging behind way too far on tests, and the more tests we have the better we can contain this. As it stands in the US the number of cases is doubling in matter of days. I know math isn't your strong suit considering you think 1% of people dying is no big deal, but consider this:
https://towardsdatascience.com/estimating-the-number-of-future-coronavirus-cases-in-the-united-states-a0ce17df029a

It is very likely by the 25th of march the number of cases is going to go from the current 1k to about 35k. And because this works with an exponential growth. That rate number is going to keep increasing.

What can stop that? People working from home. People staying at home. But many many jobs can't be done from home. That's where government money comes in. So again, you are very wrong. Testing and money directly to Americans so Americans stay at fucking home makes a big big difference. It will save thousands of lives.

1 final very important note about the "common flu", the flu is not as contagious and we have flu vaccines. So comparing this to the common flu is irresponsible.

I'm going to be blunt. You are talking with confidence from a place of ignorance. And normally society can indulge people speaking ignorant shit, but this is a fucking crisis, so look up data and know what you are talking about before you hem and haw about corporate money and obstruct a process than needs to be done to save lives.

You keep driving home the point of saving lives when even using your inflated estimate of 3.4% the deathrrate is low. Why dont i see you making topics with this same energy urging people to lose weight or quit smoking ? The media has everyone panicking.

Even so 3.4% of the entire population isnt some world ending figure. It's bad news, I'm not arguing that. It's sad, absolutely. Will life go on afterwards? Yes - so take care of yourself and prepare. It's not in the governments interest to pay your bills or your landlord to just give you a free months rent.

I'm not super knowledgeable about these sorts of things, but I know this is absolute bullshit. The flu kills way more than 0.1%

The case fatality rate the percentage of known infected people who die is between 2% and 4% in Hubei province, where the outbreak began. In other parts of China, the case fatality rate is 0.7%, a World Health Organization expert said Tuesday. The seasonal flu, by comparison, has a case fatality rate of about 0.1%.

It's not rash. It's urgent. There's a big difference.

This is a bigger crisis than the banking bailout, companies who have made profits due to all the cuts and not passed that along for me to have the fucking savings to can take a hit, and the government can take a hit.

Normally people are more indulgent of daft shallow people who watch fox news 24/7 and have so little self respect that they are nothing but a vessel for regurgitating talking points that rich people got some of the dumb masses to adopt because those rich people want to keep their billions, but this is real shit right now. And so people with such limited cognitive ability to not understand a crisis when they see one and still fall back spitting the same ignorant shit somebody fed them before about "but teh marketz, what about teh cost" need to shut the fuck up and get out of the way.

Right now your very life and the life of people you know depends on people more adult, intelligent, and mature than you handling this virus responsibly. Once the crisis is averted we can all go back to indulging the drivel of people like you, but until then you really need to shut the fuck up. Because the idiotic "what about the cost" shit you are saying WILL get people killed.

The mortality rate is 10x that of influenza... which is 0.1%. Soooo maybe 1% at worst. It's coming and theres nothing that giving money out to everyone is going to do about that.
The government taking money from successful people to pay my rent cause I wanna stay home wont really change the amount of people killed in the end unfortunately
