Hope it stays mild. Would suck for the NHL to see his career impacted by this thing.
Highly unlikely this thing has much longterm effect on McDavid.
That is the hope. Way too early to just assume that it won't though.

I wouldn't assume I'm going to get hit by a car crossing the street tomorrow.
McDavid will be fine.
Yikes! What crazy world we're living in. The pandemic has really brought out the crazy extremists.
True. And I'd imagine there are a lot of very frustrated - even desperate - people out there.The lockdowns more than the pandemic.
You can't shut down people's businesses, cancel their jobs, cancel all the they like to do -- for 7 months - without social fabric fraying.

I'd also hope that any of them with half a brain would know that kidnapping a state official isn't the answer.
Regardless of the pandemic or disagreements over politics, there are some real goofballs out there.
I think behavior needs to change before then. The combination of Halloween and Election Day within a few days of each other has the potential to spread a lot of new cases before symptoms develop in the carriers.If this number continues to rise, you might want to start curtailing your behavior by the time November starts.
Keep your eyes open in the next few weeks.
Even as cases continued to rise, the serious numbers were flat or falling in Michigan. Until about 2 weeks ago. The count for ICU beds continued to fall... from 1574 down to 130. But since then, it's rose to about 218.

So wait, is it a big deal to you or not? Because for about three or four months you were saying "Hey, let's do what Sweden's doing because they're so much better than us" in the face of data that didn't support your hypothesis. Then you see one data point and all of a sudden "Hey, you guys might want to change what you're thinking and doing because it could get bad".
Like I'm not against turning the leaf in light of new evidence... it just seems odd to turn hard left on something like this. I mean, it's not a new worry that having the cold and flu season hit would exacerbate the trouble facing protocols against COVID. In fact, it's probably the thing that most people have been worried about ever since the numbers crested for a while back in April and May.
From May to Now, no. Not a big deal to me.
My concern is what it was like in March-April and early May.
I'm not one of the Kool-Aid drinkers who believe Gov. Whitmer's laws reduced COVID and would have done away with it if not for those few anti-maskers.
That's about as unscientific as it gets.
This thing is seasonal. It smashed us.
Then it moved south and smashed them.
Now it's going to move north again.
There's a study on other coronaviruses in Michigan that suggests these viruses don't usually have back-to-back strong seasons.
But does that mean this past season was a strong year or weak year?
I don't know.
Also, coronavirus seasons tend to start earlier than the one we had. What will it look like if we have a full season???
Was the last one cut short because of when it got here? I don't know.
But I follow the data. I'm a lot more worried about a virus when it's killing 3400 old people a month than when it's killing 150 old people a month.
So if seasonality matters, keep your eyes open for the next season.
