"The president today posted another instagram story of him squatting while talking to the prime minister of england. They hashed out a new trade deal while he finished his the final set of his 5x5 at 80%.

Critics have said the President shouldn't wear only his singlets under a Pikachu tshirt. Defenders of the president have said 'he looks fantastic. who gives a poo.'

We're joined now by right wing talk show host Ben Shapiro and should say, in the interest of journalistic integrity, he absolutely does not lift."

Because you can't lock up the sick, the elderly, people with health issues, etc. just because you want to "play normally". That's not the way the world works. You want to go back to work? You want to play? WEAR A MASK. If everyone wore a mask from the start we wouldn't be where we are. But the youth, and the anti-mask people have kept the pandemic afloat.

Simple question: If someone said, yes, you can go back to work. Yes, you can go to the club, and the bar. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO is wear a mask. Would you wear a mask? So odd that some people still wouldn't.

As was said earlier in the thread, the "at risk" category starts in the 40s and increases in the 50s and 60s.  Society absolutely can not function "normally" with those people on lock down.  The second we put that policy in place, nearly every major construction project in the country would stop instantly because the higher risk age groups are where most of your foreman and superintendents are.

I used the word "play" to refer to activities outside of work, and I actually said "especially with wearing a mask".

I actually agree with you on the importance of wearing mask so relax.

My point was I think we could do a better job of really protecting the high risk.  Maybe everyone wear a mask and then subsidize the high risk to stay at home.

During the lockdown the government paid low risk people to stay at home, meanwhile you had high risk people still working in "essential" businesses.

22 year old healthy bartender gets unemployment to stay at home but 65 year old person with diabetes is still working at the grocery store?

Are we trying to stop the spread or trying to stop the deaths?

Don't come in here with common sense, who do you think you are?

I only care about stopping the deaths, that is the only controllable thing. It is going to spread, that is the inevitable thing. All we are doing is delaying the spread, so these "Numbers" going up, does not necessarily represent deaths.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
