What a "hype" headline that neither tells us anything nor makes me feel like the reporting is very good. I wonder which worries folks more: one person positive and 259 exposed but never getting sick. Or all 260 positive? Or some mix? Seriously, without proper contact tracing, I imagine the story could be more "around 260 million people have either tested positive for Covid-19 or have been exposed."

What do you think the numbers will look like after school reopens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using real reporting or just making stuff up? I'd say somewhere between 0 and 100,000 kids will be infected in Georgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like if you want sports, the players will need to be in a bubble. I was watching last night thinking “I can’t believe they pulled this off”.

Pens looked good last night. For the Canadiens, Cary Price either has to be perfect or the Habs lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they found the urgency they needed to finish plays that they didn’t have in Game 1. Power play needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although playoffs is not contract-paid. Their contracts are for regular season games, not playoffs. Some bonuses for winning rounds, but not huge money, especially in professional sports terms. That said, this money will help the owners pay salaries for next season, so it's helping their collective bargining agreement stay afloat, which is good for everyone, long term.

Mr. Silly Posted August 6, 2020 Share #2467 Posted August 6, 2020 How are those school openings going? 3 more COVID-19 cases at Cherokee County Schools; 61 students, 4 educators now quarantined A Mississippi town welcomed students back to school last week. Now 116 are home in quarantine. No one could have predicted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About three weeks later, +1,600 cases, +2,000 hospitalizations, and +26 dead: ...and the trend line looks not as sharp as in the run up to NYC's fight. Second wave or just continued first hitting some places later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
