COVID-19 Discussion (UPD: NHL Suspended/AHL Cancelled/California Shelter-at-Home)

[slocal]

Great, my mother who is immunocompromised has fallen sick. She's missing half a lung and has high blood pressure. My anxiety levels are through the roof more than ever before now. Please stay home.

I hope she mends quickly. Sorry to hear, TT.

German cathedral dusts off relics of St Corona, patron of epidemics

Believe it or not.... the patron saint of epidemics is St Corona. (She's buried in a German cathedral)

First day of my furlough and not working with nothing to do kinda sucks

Eep, sorry to hear about that. I hope you at least have your health, friend.

Try working at home with small children

I'm sure most would rather have that option than be furloughed.

Didn't realize it meant unpaid time off. In Canada it's really only used to describe miltary people on regular leave as far as I heard

It is an older term. I probably only know it because I watched a lot of tv in the 80s as a wee one.

Did anyone else in SoCal get an amber alert style notification telling you to stay at home?

I've been getting them on T-Mobile up here too. Kinda terrifying at first

We have been getting them for the past 2 days in ontario also. Thankfully they havent come with the screaming loud alarm it normal does.

That's what I do when not furloughed with a 2 year old and a 4 year old with ADHD. Fun times!

Yea I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old with autism, it's not going well haha

I have found long walks in the AM help and short walks every hour or so help a bit. We went on super long walks my first two furlough days and they both passed out hard for naps in the afternoon

Anyone else see that video about the u14 Jr sharks girls team? Did I hear correctly that their goalie lives in Kansas city?

We are about to hear that lots of khl players got the virus now, since didn't they continue playing for a week or 2 after all the north american leagues shut down?

Sharks exec explains why they played 3 games after the...

Paywall.

Sharks couldn't unilaterally cancel games when recommended to do so. They required league approval/direction and/or a requirement, not recommendation. They did increase cleaning and request folks to stay home if not healthy.

Plattner wants to ensure employees are fully paid/covered. LOSSES ARE NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE. There will be a big loss this year (regardless of making playoffs) because of the season delay. STH renewal deadline has been pushed out from 3/31; folks will get three weeks' notice before losing their seat to someone else.

And a few other notes.

I am not at all familiar with the truth of the matter, but the obloquies in the comments section make me suspicious of the official narrative.

Coronavirus: 49ers, Sharks games unlikely before Thanksgiving

This doesn’t bode well for next season.

Could start the season playing empty arenas or at a different state site

Well, happy San Jose Day and 49ers Day to you too.

Man, I'm just chilling as an introvert (aside from the lack of beer things to do), but this doesn't look great for society at large. Can we fast forward to whenever we at least get mass-produced reliable antibody tests?

Right?! Getting tired of some of my co-workers saying they already had it without actually knowing. Speculating out their asses.
