I don't think he is wrong about the deaths. The issue with his premise is that young kids by and large have very mild symptoms making them likely to continue going to school as carriers and spreading this thing like gasoline driven wildfire. That's the problem.

No I disagree with his idea 100%. But his stats may be right.

I'm not sure he is wrong. All the stats I can find capture the 10-19 range. And the only country i can find who have deaths in that range is China. Maybe you have different sources.

Think there was one kid in China or something

So its a lack of self control?

Unless they are giving it to their grandparents and great grandparents, it does not look that bad.  Why not take the people we know are at risk and shut them down, really shut them down.  Or, we pay everyone to sit on their butts, bored to death, while they still visit the grandparents.  I dont know why we have science and statistics if we cannot use them

Yep, because absolutely no one who works in the school system is in a high risk group. The bottom line is that if a ton of kids get in then it's going to spread BIG TIME. Good luck getting kids to listen to social distancing measures and getting them to diligently wash their hands and not touch their faces. It's not a lack of self control, it's just called being a kid. Those kids are going to give it to their parents, those parents are going to go to work and so on and so on.

But if we know that kids don't die, and a lot don't even get sick, is it worth shutting down education systems?   Flu actually killed kids, but nothing was done.  Like I said, we KNOW who this hurts, or at least that is the way it looks.  Is there such a thing as too much caution?  Or pols trying to "out shutdown" each other?

NYC is the biggest issue for the US at the moment.  Waaaay too many people crammed into too little real estate.  The Little Italy remark I made the other day holds true

Meh, don't know, maybe we lose 1.7 million in the US.  I could be wrong, it happened once before back in 1990:)

I just look at numbers and try to keep emotions in check.  Numbers might change next week, so will the conversation at that point.

You're still not understanding that it's not about the kids getting sick. It's about the kids basically being super spreaders.

"Like a prick, you're having second thoughts. You're shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written on the side of your guns. And the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle .50" written on the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now f*** off!"

I actually started to say, that my eagle doesn’t have replica on the side! Cheerio, have a caravan.

Ok, so we are circling back around again to the lack of self control and not shutting down the elderly.  Guess we can do this over and over.

Not to mention the teachers and other school workers that would be at risk...many of which fall within the high risk category.  

Schools would be devastating breeding ground for this virus if left unchecked.

      Only team with a winning record…

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread. Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically.  The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter? Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.

      Yeah, it is wild that we keep clawing back and thriving with all these different lineup combos and players coming and going. Say what you want about how some things have gone over the past few years but our roster construction is exceptional. We really have loaded up on guys in free agency and through the draft that really fit Rod's system. It's gonna come down to the usual things, I think. Can we elevate our play in the playoffs? That's the big thing we have lacked. Eventually we just hit an opponent that can dig deeper and scrap harder than us.  It's funny because we always have these teams we cannot seem to get past in the playoffs(Bruins, Tampa, NYR, Florida) that we eventually outlast and outbuild. I guess possiblu that will be the way we win a Cup in the end. Just outlast and outbuild them all.

      I wouldn take Nystrom allll day over Reilly. He is a gem. 7th rounder that bought in and is playing great.  The injury’s on D actually got him the playing time he needs. He will be a cane for a long time.
