All Purpose Coronavirus Discussion IV - Splendid Isolation

[pit]

Hope everyone is staying safe. I'm in the middle of a 14 day quarantine because I worked with someone whose wife tested positive. Neither my co-worker nor myself have any symptoms, so I hope everything will be okay.

On a sad note, I have come to the realization that Brandon Manning will probably never make it back to the NHL. It's a shame, but life goes on. Take care guys.

All of the pro leagues are shut down Brandon, but I'm glad you are taking quarantine seriously and that you are healthy. You'll get a chance in the minors or Europe, I'm sure, once this is all over.

Maybe someone in the Flyers org can put you in touch with Stewie and he can sell you on the EIHL. If you train hard and watch tape I bet you have a chance at cracking a roster.

Be well.

@Hollywood Couturier you baited me into entering this godforsaken thread, which I have been avoiding equally as diligently as the virus itself.

You will not be forgiven.

This whole thing is Brayden Schenn's fault

I blame Chip Kelly.

You went through much of the same that I did, maybe a month later than I did. I wish we could look at it and confidently say, "I caught this and my body fought it off". But the unfortunate thing is one virus can be so genetically similar to the next that it presents the same or similar symptoms. It's really impossible to say whether you or I had the virus unless we got tested. I'm in Upstate New York, where they don't hardly have the resources/manpower to do so.

Agreed. Unless we know definitively, we are guessing and should not alter our behavior as if we had. I'm in northern Delaware, which is not an overly densely populated area, but is in the broader Philadelphia vicinity. I also do a lot of work in the local music scene, which puts me in close physical contact with many people. Obviously, that has changed over the past couple of weeks.

You can run but you can't hide

Love ELP!

Sure you can. On an island. Or any other area with a small amount of land mass. Because those two factors exponentially decrease the risk.

...and stuff.

I blame Chip Kelly.

 

[landsbergfan]

Why do some of the smallest counties have the highest numbers?

Is it ok to be pissed the administration sent aid to China but not pissed Senators are asking for aid to be sent to Palestinian territories?

 

[Embiid]

Politics with people's lives.....guess she wasn't nice enough....

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I blame Chip Kelly.

Higher population density

 

[Prongo]

I believe this has happened with New York and other states as well.

Him and his brother always had bad genes anyway..

Sending aid to China isn't a problem. That's always a sound foreign policy move.

The idiotic part was not immediately restocking our supplies. It goes back to that crippling lack of preparation and basic foresight that has made this response such a miserable failure.

Let’s just blame Obama because he left the shelves bare........ thanks Obama! It’s only been three+ years.... no accountability.

But it's ok to send supplies to Palestine while we are still short ourselves?

Yes, the evidence has clearly borne out that islands and other nations that don't share a land border with China need not worry.

Ask the Irish how that's working for them.
