Well, I admire your enthusiasm, T , I fear the worst is yet to come, and the way they are treating it south of the border scares me to no end I wish I could share in your fear, but I don't have any room for fear with all the anger, disappointment, and disgust I currently harbor with the fabulous showing down here thus far..... Where is "down here"? The U.S.? |

Yes fear has never entered my mind through out all of this. I don't know that measures stopped or slowed the spread but it sure stopped life in some cases. There were so many in my area that have gone on with life as usual. There were cases and a few deaths among the elderly. Which are to be expected when you look at the masses of already ill with other things in homes. Did the lock down save lives. We should hope so but it doesn't seem to have saved lives in the most vulnerable. They are opening things more this week and I expect initially there may be another spike in cases but that things will in all likelihood return to a relative normal. I'm angry at all the governmental lies. The rumors of recording any death as covid 19 which can be reinforced by the absence of deaths that most would expect to see such as influenza, heart attack, and stroke. It may take years to discover what really happened. For now we must deal with new measures and slowly restart our lives. Hockey first haha. |

For me , I don't care who, or where, it happened first, It seems money has taken over, ahead of our health, and don't think that's a good thing, would rather they wait til next year, seems safer to me , don't see the US as a good place to be at the moment with all their in fighting

I believe we’re over that amount now. I’m not trying to just be a ray or light during this or one of the “protesters” of this. I’d like to see more scientific work done to get us the hell out of this terrible thing. At some point we need hope, and not just terrible news. You can hate the President or the Prime Minister or a Premier or a Governor etc, but we need solid proof and evidence to get us back to normal!!! |

One's perspective on the virus has much to do with where one lives and the amount of outbreak in their communities. I'm fairly rural myself but not far from the shopping centers and big boxes still open,I take all precautions......I don't know if I'm fearful but I do admit to not wanting to die or get REAL sick. A simple look at the CDC tracker on the MSN home page shows a steady 1,500-2,000 deaths daily and a flattening curve due ONLY to the aggressive measures taken by states themselves. Fifty nine new deaths up in the beautiful province of Ontario yesterday too. The stats we see today are predicated on what happened two weeks ago and even a country like South Korea who did a much more thorough job of testing and tracing than any country is seeing a sizeable spike after reopening. The heard mentality.... First off,it sounds better if you're not in the heard.....right? NYC is one of the most infected area on earth and a wide-reaching anti-body testing study recently showed a positive rate of only 20%,most experts say 70-80% would be needed for this dangerous premise to be effective. Sweden gave it a shot though and we'll have to see how that turns out. www.newsweek.com/sweden-coronavirus-deaths-children-lockdown-1502548 Since me and mine can insulate ourselves sufficiently regardless of how things go and since I'm no bleeding heart,I say give it a go and if certain parts get thinned out so be it. The downside will be the devastation among the nursing homes,the Navajo,the underprivileged,under served,urban minority communities,prisons and meat packaging but that's a long way away for most and not part of THEIR herd anyway! What happens when the semi's start rolling out of Illinos,Michagan and other infected areas again out to the farm belt states who have taken few if any precautions? If masks had been made mandatory(WITH ENFORCEMENT) a month or two back,the US woudldn't be the world's petri-dish but here we are. Anybody up for a tour of the Whitehouse?LOFL! India gets it!LOL! www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL0f24Img5U |

One thing to keep in mind. Canada has 37 million people. Not a lot by many countries standards, but that’s still a lot of people. If one percent got this virus, that would be 370,000 people. If those numbers are in fact correct, there is very minimal danger to public health. We’re looking at literally less than one half of a percent of the population. So those numbers are obviously false. More people have had it, they don’t test them. Also in Ontario and a lot of Quebec, the problems have been mostly in nursing homes and old age homes. As of now, Canada has had 4700 deaths. Most were 70+ years of age. Still very sad. Don’t wanna see that. So. If you take the amount we have tested in Canada, which is reported to be somewhere near 1 million tests as of May 7 (974,000). Or roughly 2% of the population. So we have had 68,000 cases in one million tests. We do not know how many people will end up with this or have actually had this, but we do know those numbers. So if you pro rate it. 68,000x37= 2,516,000 people have had this in Canada. That’s under 10% of the population has probably had this. Out of 2,516,000 only 4700 people have died. Or .0018% of the population has died from this. I got the 68,000x37 from the 1,000,000 tests done. We have 37,000,000 people. We’ve only tested 1 out of every 37 people. So pro rating it shows you what the real numbers actually look like. They may not be totally accurate, but they’re gonna be in the ball park. With those numbers, it is not a public health threat. This screams more of a cash grab. If I was in my 60s or 70s or older, yes I’d be massively concerned. But we do live in countries where the majority speaks. And while I do agree with the social distancing and quarantining, at some point, we do gotta go off math and science!!! |

I'm not going to get into the who's and what's so much here, that's not worth debating, imo. the main reasoning for the already addressed emotions is the absolute lack of coalescing of this country during an emergency. instead we get more infighting, more disinformation, more partisanship, more bullshit.... just a gigantic disappointment, mostly, followed by anger and disgust.... |

Since it's someone else's parents or grandparents,you'll just "pro rate" that loss of life? I don't know about up there but down here,they've buried scores of 30 and 40 year olds who also saw themselves as infallible,some with no health issues. Since care centers have to be serviced by outside workers every day,how many more of those old folks are you willing to "pro rate"? If the folks in nursing homes,Native Americans on reservations,iner-city minorities and THOSE people getting decimated at meat packing plants mean nothing to you,I'd think the 1,634 dead in your own province(35 more yesterday) would get your attention but not if you're infallible I guess. Please also elaborate on the "cash grab". 80,000 dead Americans and the army of front line medical workers(many of which also died) saving lives every day deserve better than conspiracy theories. Your own first lady dealt with the virus,Bore-us Johnson almost died after downplaying it and now the Whitehouse is a human petri-dish after doing the same. |

I'm not going to lie to you Bob pretty sick a couple of days I took Quinine and Zinc for a bit and was right as rain. I was never afraid because I have faith. I also know that if it takes a second round that I am not likely to get sick again, because my immune system has be introduced. I don't need a vaccine. It was a blessing I guess. Better now than when I'm over 60 and I didn't even need to be hospitalized. |

Your own first lady dealt with the virus,Bore-us Johnson almost died after downplaying it and now the Whitehouse is a human petri-dish after doing the same. My man the point is, and it doesn’t take a genius or semi genius to figure out that the vulnerable people should have been protected. We should have put most of our resources into nursing homes and made people over 60 stay home at all costs. Let the population pass it around and build immunity to it, there will obviously be deaths, but this thing is not 100% stoppable. So we have stop thinking that this thing wasn’t going to do any damage, that’s naive and for stupid people. So since this thing is here, what is the best course of action? People will lose their lives no matter what. Hiding out is a great thing for now, but all it takes is for one chinaman to not report their sickness and we’re right back in this, with no immunity and many many more dead. When we could have bit the bullet now and made sacrifices to ensure this is indeed gone. It’s like fighting a war, if the Allies pushed the nazis back to Berlin and said, that’s enough life lost, hope they learned their lesson. They’d regroup and come back for wave two and we’d have much much more loss of life. It sucks no matter what is done, but we need to think more forward than lateral. I’m in no way telling anyone to just go out, if you don’t feel comfortable, don’t do it. I fully respect that many don’t wanna do things and they stay home. I haven’t seen my parents in over two months. I’d love to be able to sit down with them, but it’s not worth it at this point. My dads much older brother who lives in Plymouth Michigan died last month and we had no way to go see the family over there, he was 93 and not Covid related. The whole situation sucks, even if my dad was allowed to go there, I wouldn’t let him, I feel I have to protect him as he’s 74 and a diabetic. This thing would probably take him down. I believe it’s best to protect the vulnerable, the death rate would go down. Put testing at every nursing home, massive amounts of testing should be done there. I think this whole thing has been a cash grab. The lazy approach here was “just stay home”. People who don’t work are getting money. Big corporations are getting millions, my smaller company gets the ol “you do not qualify for this program”. And that’s fine, I’m ok with that. Now big corps are getting millions and the government is paying their employees too. So they’re double dipping and they don’t seem to care. Now, my taxes will go up due to friends of that party are getting rich off of this. I don’t have all the answers, and it’s very easy to rip on the powers that be during this. But I’m not the one that made the claims that my way is perfect, and I’m not the one dishing out billions. I think we’ve done a great job here in Canada, but if this thing comes around again, I think Canada and it’s residents could not afford to do what we’ve done this time, and we’d have to face the enemy head on and just deal with it. Plus we’d be in massive amounts of debt from the first time. So I’m essence we’d be broke and dying. Again, stay safe. I don’t mean to or want to push my view on anyone. I’m not saying my views are the way to victory, they’re just my views. I’m not pushing them on anyone, just stating what I would do. I hope this thing just goes away, but we’ll see!!! |

As one of my favorite posters,I couldn't be happier to hear about your recovery and if your faith helped you through......God bless. I am over sixty with a bit of a health issue myself and my older brother is on dialysis which is a big compromise so I am scared...….as hell! I also have faith and I'm sure many of the 1,500 Americans who died from the virus yesterday had faith too. Having the anti-bodies should indeed offer you a great deal of immunity but one of the difficulties in developing a vaccine is the virus' ability to mutate which could also affect immunity but as a rule.....you should be good. 56 of your fellow Ontarians weren't as lucky yesterday. |

Who exactly are you referring to with the "semi genius","naïve" and "stupid people" comments,those who take it seriously or those trying to protect you? Don't you think management at these elderly care centers did do their best to protect their residents? I should be made to stay home because I'm over sixty(don't have to tell me twice) but let everyone else have at it? There are scores of people well under sixty with no health issues who have succumbed to the virus but if the feeling of invincibility works for you.....good luck. You gotta admit though,phrases like "pro rate","coulda bit the bullet" and "let the population pass it around" shows a callous disregard for the MASSIVE amount of lives lost and for those risking their lives for others. I don't stay home because I'm fuckin' lazy.....I stay home because I'm not a Covidiot! "Hiding out"? Really? The RNA of the contagion that decimated the east coast is proven to have come from Europe,yes,it did originate in China but you didn't have to say Chinaman......I'm pretty sure you can just say 'Chink' here. There's a bit of a cash grab down here too,as a matter of fact,one fat asshole and his whole family are cleaning up as we head to 100,000 fatalities! |

jeez.....37 in about 2 months the guy's ripped. The guy trains like a beast he should be twice that size haha. Really he's cut similar to a real martial artist Bruce Lee. |

Really he's cut similar to a real martial artist Bruce Lee. i posted the pic because i honestly never considered him as being that built. hopefully our stable of smallish defensemen (and forwards) play enough seasons with DK to pick up on his work ethic, drop a few pounds of baby fat and replace it with some muscle mass. at almost 37, how could he not be an inspiration? |

Guy could stop playing right now, and he's a guaranteed first ballot HOFer, and the Hawks retire his 2...3 Cups, 2 Norris, a Conn Smythe, and 2 Olympic Golds...based on that photo, he's not resting on his laurels. I'm still flabbergasted by the revelation in that Athletic article that Pully wanted to trade him for Roenick and Amonte... |

Keith was one of those 165lb kids when taken who could add that 30lbs without losing speed and quickness due to his work ethic,I'm not sure most kids can do that successfully. Doesn't he have some freakish lung capacity too. |

2019-20 marks the 12th consecutive season in which the Chicago Blackhawks have led the league in average attendance.sportsmockery.com/2020/06/blackhawks-lead-nhl-in-attendance-yet-again/it'd be nice to make it 13 consecutive years but this streak won't last forever. maybe a drop in attendance that puts us in the bottom third of the pack is what this team needs more than anything. i would think that as an owner, it might be easy to become complacent when that revenue just keeps rolling on in.

Seems like that was McD's job and he continued to do it even while the team was at the bottom of the standings......that had to be a personal conflict with someone. As far as revenue,I have to think none from the postseason the last few years was an issue. |

Scoring30 as a rookie was once pretty common thing but rarer now outside of budding superstars. Here’s Kubalik’s impressive display from the last season. Just because I miss hockey and he was something to cheer about. Nice how San Jose was the bookends for his first and thirtieth.

Next year we’ll be watching hilights from Chalupa’s 20 goal rookie season, right? |
