Is this true?

the media has this strain of flu blown all out of proportion, it's fukin ridiculous, and its intended to make this administration look bad. All indications are this particular strain had been in circulation for at least a couple months before it was identified. There are 36 deaths in the U.S. so far from this flu, 26 from one nursing home in Seattle. When the N1H1 flu hit the U.S., there were just about 1000 deaths directly attributed to it before the obama administration took any actions, odd how the DNC run press doesn't mention that nor treated that administration the way it's treating this one. The CDC says about 30,000 people die every year in this country just from the normal seasonal flu. Step back, breath, and have a drink.

NHL suspends season because of coronavirus concerns

the headline at nhl.com says “paused”, but no other information has been posted at this point

Right on Bro. This is a total overreaction. We had 7,000-13,000 H1N1 deaths in 2009 according to the CDC and nobody suspended anything. 50 million people were infected in the US alone. We've had 1,300 cases and 39 deaths. That's it. Plus, as you mentioned, 30,000+ die from flu yearly. 218,000 have died from opioid overdoses since 1990. Where's the panic there?

Fucking retarded!!!

Fucking retarded!!!
This totally sucks.

I am going to endeavor to make as much sense as the NHL. I should shut down this forum out of concern for Coronavirus.
;)
What would make more sense, though still not yet necessary IMO is to continue to have games, but with no spectators. Most people watch on TV anyway and most teams have private jets and buses to travel.

Buttman is a fukin idiot, but, with every other league suspending play the nhl didn’t have much choice. I blame the media for blowing this way out of proportion

if the league is flexible enough to postpone the season for two weeks, they can take a break once every four years for the Olympics
-
I was suspecting yesterday that it is going to happen.
-
The nba has suspended the season until further notice. MLB has canceled the rest of spring training, which shouldn't effect a 162 game season. I firmly believe MLB should cut the season back to 150 games anyway. The big kick in the ass, the NCAA has said the tournament has been canceled, not suspended or postponed, but outright canceled.

This whole thing is 90% political with China at the forefront. ANYTHING they can do to get rid of Trump, even if it kills hundreds of millions is acceptable to them, even desirable. Of course the deep state, who've been selling us out to the Chinese for decades has been on board since day one. This includes the 99% deep state controlled fourth estate.

I'm in a deep state...
of boredom and canceling (a.k.a. "putting the season on hold") is not going to help my deep state.

Buttman will do just about anything to keep Ovi from getting another 50 :raspberry:

This is the only reason I can see for this:https://youtu.be/uUQcX_pHAdU (https://youtu.be/uUQcX_pHAdU)

Unfortunately, we need to halt as much international travel as possible, particularly from countries with “open boarders” and shitty health care.

This is just evidence that the “open boarders” gimmick is a bunch of “feel good” bullshit
It’s unknown, how it got in to the US, but there are to many opportunities for it, or any foreign communicable virus or disease, to get in. Yes it’s impossible to completely stop it, but letting anyone waltz in sure as hell raises the chances

Spot On Alta. I've been saying that since day one.
As I've mention in other thread, the enormity of the threat that President Trump poses to the utterly evil and corrupt so-called deep state is beyond the imagination on pretty much everyone on the planet. As I have stated in ALL CAPS for decades now, we are AT WAR, and have been for decades. I used to be extremely depressed that almost no one believed me. The United States was intended to be reduced to a third world country by 2000, then delayed to 2020. Their plans got slowed down yet again and 2025 was the date, and if Hillary had become president I can guarantee you we'd be in a global and civil war by now.
The Coronavirus is a last ditch effort to take out Trump before he is reelected. For those who believe he would have been killed by now if what I am saying is true I will tell you that our President is protected by patriots in the Marine Corp and also by God. I've never been a Bible thumper, but I am convinced that divine providence is involved in President Trumps election and survival. We are in a battle not only between humans and of flesh and blood, but of realms most of us have no real clue of their existence.
The Chinese were a huge part of the globalist strategy. Trump knew this and went right after them. It would not surprise me in the least that the Chinese would release a biological weapon, whether real or overstated, or one that would kill hundreds of millions if it suited them. The kind of people that have truly been ruling the world and many of whom you have voted for could not care less if you suffer, live, or die. This so-called "elite" has a history I could describe going back millennia. They are more recently known as Khazarian Jews whose roots go back to ancient Babylonian Talmud culture, who were black magicians that worshiped Lucifer and forever offered human sacrifices on a massive scale to maintain their influence and power. They maintain these practices to this day and I can prove it to anyone with an open mind willing to take the time and apply rational thinking.
The world is not and has never been anything like you believed it to be. I've been researching this full time with few exceptions for 35 years, day and night. I have terabytes of data and many thousands of books to back this up.
Understand that we are living in what will become known as one of the greatest periods in currently known history. I am pretty confident we will barely recognize this world in 5 years time.
Have any of you ever noticed how language has been weaponized against us? Some of you may have noticed this especially more recently? Well this is something I noticed decades ago and have paid close attention to. Most people don't realize what a mind fuck this has done to us. The other thing to try to be aware of is symbolism. It is all around us and when you learn to understand it it will expand your mind and you will see their true communications all around you. I will warn you that once you begin to discern truth it will be pretty fucking scary.
It still amazes me that we are in a massive silent WAR and most people pretty much feel like everything is normal. It's weird as fuck.
One of my rare breaks from focusing on this stuff has been hockey, and now they took that away, at least for now. Looks like an early start on the off season.
I love you guys. Try to find your own way through the smoke and make sure you do not allow others to drive the narrative of your world.
The other "Calm before the Storm" thread is going to be quite active beginning soon. I believe this WAR is about to come out of the shadows.

Well, considering how many Chinese people live in California, Vancouver, Toronto, it was quite obvious we'll get some carriers. Also cruise ships especially to Asia another big problem. I'm sure number of cases is more than we told, because only a few tested.

H1N1, Zika, Swine.. Nobody lost their shit when they hit.. But now that the left is getting bolder and louder, every year the country's skin gets thinner and thinner.. As soon as 1 league or group cancels something, if your group isn't right behind them then your labeled "insensitive, reckless, racist, etc.." MSM and the left just fueling the fire.. :clown: :poop:

I've been thinking this would be a nothing burger and it is surely a political boon right now for the deep state and their controlled media, but the data I've been looking at is making me have some concerns that it could be serious.
Some weeks ago I posted here that over the next few weeks or so (from that post) I and a friend were expecting a MAJOR event to hit the USA, and I'm pretty sure I said it would possibly be one that would change this country dramatically. The astrological alignments right now is in an extremely malefic state for the USA. One of my oldest and best friends is a real expert on these things and we've been discussing this stuff for decades and have never seen such a confluence of indicators. The major aspects involved are the planet Mars in relation to the true north and south nodes of the Moon. These are not found in western astrology, but in ancient astrology these were harbingers of major problems. These are only a small portion of, but very important part of the entire astrological picture. At the same time the chart for the USA this year indicate MAJOR turmoil especially right between now and late fall.
A similar alignment happen about every 18.6 years. Going back in 18.6 year increments we have 9/11, AIDS, JFK assassination, & Bombing of Hiroshima. Interestingly, the readings showed the threat would come from outside of America, so we posited it might be some kind of major terrorist attack. I argued my doubt that we would see a terrorist attack, but this Coronavirus, however real and however dangerous (or not) could have a massive impact in many ways.
Another thing we discussed was a HIGH impact event coming in the fall. As early as September and as late as November. My personal take was not in agreement with my friend. I felt this threat would come from the panicked deep state as they try desperately to hold onto power as they continue to be dismantled by the Trump machine. These people know they face the almost certain possibility of prison or execution and They will not go down without a fight, which I always predicted would come largely in the form of false flags to cause mass chaos. There is the possibility that we are now only seeing the beginning of a cascading domino effect of planned events to turn the world upside down.
Know that I've been expecting something of this nature to arrive for decades. The USA was most certainly scheduled by those who've been in power to be reduced to a starving third world nation, and if you have been keeping up on world events for the last 30-40 years and sit down and think about it then it is almost impossible to not come the same conclusion based on the overt evidence alone. Add to it the many documents, speeches, and books from these people and their representatives and this shit will hit you like a ton of bricks and you will wonder how you were ever so stupid as to not realize it.
I'm tired of writing now, so I will pause here.
-
It's most definitely serious, but we've weathered serious virus' before and the -crazy- wasn't nearly as severe. MSM are fueling this fire, which really doesn't need any further fuel, if you know what I mean.. If you're elderly, immune system compromised or ill, stay home! Wash your hands, etc.. If it gets ya, it gets ya.. Flu kills many thousands a year and yet, we still usually have toilet paper on the shelves? :huh: lol

In general, this I.D., like the regular flu, won’t be fatal to the majority of us, but that sells for the MSM. As I understand it, the biggest issue, the other MSM cashcow, is how easy it spreads.
The biggest thing this affects is, and has been the basis of human society since it’s inception: $$$
In context of this thread, if ones job has people sitting or working close to each other, ie office with cube farm factory etc., particularly those who can’t work from home this is a major hit. First, there’s added prevention that typically wouldn’t be budgeted for: cleaning supplies, employe training, policies, and management of them, even testing, etc), but that’s the easy part. Even with these in place, if person can spread this to even just five people, then those 5 to 5 more, there’s a realistic chance a massive amount of employees, mgmt etc. will be unable to work/out sick for a significant amount of time, perhaps several times. This risks massive amount of the company’s productivity, including deadlines, travel etc.,which could cost a massive amount of income, stock value, perhaps lawsuits, which could risk the company folding.
Then you have the employees. Those who do get and have symptoms could easily run out of sick/PTO, if the job gives it, quickly. Most companies, cannot give this back,(applicable laws, union contracts etc.), which not only will piss off employess, but will have them come back and be at risk of spreading, catching it again. Then there’s when they are sick with something else, or take unpaid leave, the risk of attendance violations (which may not be able to be changed, that company will continue to have this issue of loss of productivity, even employees if they quit or get fired for attendance.
In terms of the NHL and sports, the staff at the arenas are a prime example. Not only is there risk for the fans, but imagine if a large amount of an arenas staff where all out sick. Imagine going to the game with only half the arena staff.
Not to mention the teams. Imagine if the equipment staff got it, it could spread to all the players. Imagine half or more of the team being unable to play.
There’s other things to consider as well. Like Healthcare, military, Public Services, power, water, courts, mail, etc. But I’ll save that for the Calm thread.
We’ve all got kicked the nuts repeatedly by the stock market, and who knows when it, or what will, recover. So while most of our lives won’t be at risk, our portfolios, income, taxes, even non-refundable travel, are already affected by this.
(Lefty Warning)
Everyone should be great full of who we have the White House now. Like him or hate him, his business/finance ability, and his personality to take the proverbial bull by the horns, will run over his opposition to get the government involved intensely involved, including regulations for businesses (contrary to capitalist philosophy), national security, more intense travel restrictions (including boarders) etc.
This is not just a public health issue to be challenged with morals or political ideology. This is an economic crisis. I for one, hope and support him using every law, contingency, and power to get this crisis under control as soon as possible with minimal if any resistance.

well that's it, now my world has really gone to shit, they've canceled the masters...

NASCAR has postponed the next two races, Indycar has postponed its next race, and I hope no one was training for the Boston marathon this month, your SOL too

This covid19 is a bit interesting event. It's real, but it is and will be highly politicized. After all may be it is the only chance for the democrats to be elected.
Fatality is 7-10 times higher than an average flue. Do I afraid it? Not really, more for close ones, my immune system is strong, usually I don't take flue shots. In 19 years in the US, I may be took 3-4 sick days.
Cheers!

Remember, for most of us, health isn’t that much of a concern, but our money, sick leave, employees, and the near annihilation of all convenience is.
Not to mention no fuckin hockey 😡

Well, that saves me from scrounging for Opening Day tickets
But canceling Spring Training sucks for several players. The rosters are assuredly not final, there are plenty of kids trying to make the MLB or AAA rosters that will get screwed by this.

This might be a good thing. Americans may realize there is much of importance they have ignored so they can sit and watch sports in their free time. Sports is an opiate or Prozac for the masses. Between sports, alcohol, and work leaves no time to pay attention to the world around us and we rely on mass mind control media to tell us everything we think we know about the world around us.
Maybe it's time to read some books, open your eyes, see what has really been going on.
-
You leave Alcohol out of this god dammit!! Don't even say the word!! Just move along, nothing to see here!!! :rofl:

Well....let's look at the bright side...(since the season is over)
Ovi will get a "share" of another Rocket, but sure he would rather have another 50G season.
At least Johnny Q Norris Dylan Carlson's Norris Trophy will always have an asterisk next to in the record books :snicker:
-
He'll get 50, once the playoffs start.. (May/June)
-
if the league doesn’t restart in the next 10-14 days, it’s over. They can’t push back a full playoff schedule that far. A few of these arenas won’t make a good ice sheet in the middle of summer and it puts things too close to next season

They might have to shorten the season and playoffs if they still intend on finishing this season.

I can't see the season restarting any time this year.
Either no Cup wil be awarded, or t will go to the current highest ranking team, which is undoubtedly the Bruins.

To add......
The 1918 "Spanish Flu", (apparantly started in Kansas, through a mutation from bird flu ) killed many people during the Great War. Then there was a lull, then it mutated and came back ever more deadly and virulent.
Programme I saw on the BBC last night....
All Im saying is that a lull in figures of those infected, or dying, doesn't mean it's over and even more care needs to be taken.
This is not a secret, or hidden, or supressed fact. It is widely known and available.
Players in a locker room, showers, changing rooms.... NOT going to happen.
Let alone what sort of hockey they could possibly play with no contact and staying at least a metre away from each other..... :huh:
-
from Wikipedia on the 1918 Spanish flu...
"In 1993, Claude Hannoun, the leading expert on the 1918 flu for the Pasteur Institute (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasteur_Institute), asserted the former virus was likely to have come from China. It then mutated in the United States near Boston (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston) and from there spread to Brest, France (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brest,_France), Europe's battlefields, Europe, and the world with Allied (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_I) soldiers and sailors as the main disseminators.[27] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic#cite_note-27) He considered several other hypotheses of origin, such as Spain, Kansas and Brest, as being possible, but not likely. Political scientist Andrew Price-Smith (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Price-Smith) published data from the Austrian archives (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_archives)suggesting the influenza had earlier origins, beginning in Austria in early 1917.
In 2014, historian Mark Humphries argued that the mobilization of 96,000 Chinese laborers (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Labour_Corps) to work behind the British and French lines might have been the source of the pandemic. Humphries, of the Memorial University of Newfoundland (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_University_of_Newfoundland) in St. John's (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s,_Newfoundland), based his conclusions on newly unearthed records. He found archival evidence that a respiratory illness that struck northern China in November 1917 was identified a year later by Chinese health officials as identical to the Spanish flu.
A report published in 2016 in the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Medical_Association) found no evidence that the 1918 virus was imported to Europe via Chinese and Southeast Asian soldiers and workers. It found evidence that the virus had been circulating in the European armies for months and possibly years before the 1918 pandemic."
does anyone believe anything that comes out of today's Chinese government??
North America isn't really known for being a source of these kinds of things, I suspect it has to do with the indigenous population being nearly exterminated by European diseases in the 1500-1800s and the widespread deforestation of the place as the Anglo population moved west. Also of note, WWI ended primarily from the lack of healthy bodies from the flu to continue the fighting and dying. Rather ironic.
-
I'm sure there are ver, very many viruses that are in existence.
The programme that I saw traced the initial stran of the "Spanish Flu"back to some fella named Richard..somthing. Sorry, can't remember the surname off hand. He was a young farmer, who apparantly contracte thde virus through a strain of bird flu, then got conscripted, went to a training camp and then on a boat......
Not the poor bloke's fault. Or anybody elses, for that matter.
It only got dubbed the Sanish Flu" when the second and even more deadly strain hit.
-
yes, I’ve seen what’s probably the same program. I haven’t seen any other evidence to link the Spanish(that’s a clue right there) flu to Kansas. Unfortunately, a lot of those shows you need to some research of your own to confirm what they are presenting.
and where you been?? Thought you had succumbed to the wuhan flu

Are you assuming he is going to win the Norris? He might but I sure as hell wouldn't vote for him.
Well...not really. I am not a big Carlson fan and begrudgingly have admitted he has greatly improved his game over the past several seasons. I do not think he is worth his contract, but I have always been down on his marshmallow play and dopey persona.
I will say I no longer dislike him, but will never be a huge fan. I do recognize he is an asset, but I JOKINGLY gave him the moniker of Johnny Q Norris earlier in the season due to all the HYPE and total marketing ploy everyone seemed to be pouring on and forcing upon us.
I realize the role of the "defensemen" has changed, but I feel an ACTUAL Norris candidate should be an EXCELLENT D-E-F-E-N-S-E-M-A-N, not just a star player who scores a lot from the d side. He should be the best defenseman in the game, not the best offensive player who happens to be called a defensemen. IMO
Whoa...put the brakes on the rant...
But it was mostly said in jest. the giggle was from it having an asterisk on it because of the shortened season.
Now Alta is gonna be mad again cause I'm picking on his golden boy :raspberry:

Not to worry Lil. We have a cure that is 100% effective in clinical trials. Mix of basic generic antibiotic like Z-pac (which will work on the pneumonia) and another old generic drug (I can't remember the name of), but used to be a treatment for Malaria. The antibiotic won't due it alone, but the combo of the two drugs has cured 100% of the patients with THIS corona. Some famous French virulogist is leading it.
This information will be publicized (and hyped to holy hell, i'm sure) very soon. Actually, I thought they were going public yesterday
And here comes the cynic in me....
Either that or it is just a very well conceived plan to drive up the value of the pharmaceutical companies that make the drugs so they can make another fortune on the hype of this virus.

wouldn’t have mattered 100 years ago, antibiotics don’t work on viruses, would’ve made a huge difference for actual war wounds though, outside of the gas attacks. In our civil war more people died from infections then actual gun shots

And can someone explain why there are virtually no cases of the virus in India?

the flu virus doesn't like warm weather, isn’t always hot there?

interesting side note, India is where Europeans got the idea that bathing more than once a year was a good idea

Its a stressful time for everyone. Never have governments around the world taken precautions like this. Makes me think that they know more about this virus than they are telling us.

Did you really call me SHIT FOR BRAINS? :lol:
Me thinks I struck a nerve. It was certainly not intended that way...In all honesty, I'm probably one of the most mild-mannered folks here.
It's all good. When this shit is over, we gotta celebrate....like face to face. :hearts:
I'll pay $500 of your air fare to come back and see us again. And this time I will actually make a game with yuns (like next year when there is hockey again :'( )
Go CAPS!

I actually put money into a suppressor for my (ahem....AR) but then got cold feet when a friend said " WTF ARE YOU DOING....YOU ARE GOING TO INVITE THE FUCKING ATF TO YOUR HOME?"
not that I have anything to hide, but I pretty much threw that money away. Still have the paperwork in my office.....from about....7-8 years ago.
Honestly....I only wanted to be able to shoot it at home without creeping out the neighbors or going deaf.

Caps are still leading the Metro, but are 3rd in the East. Looks like the Bruins will be league champs this season. With governor blackface shutting down the state til the second week of June there’s no way in hell this season resumes.
-
Yea, Hockey's done this season.. I think all the major sports "top guys" met with Trump yesterday and I heard something like they want to -try- and resume (fan attended) events in like August or September? :-\

NASCAR should go ahead and resume racing, they could very easily practice social distancing with how many fans have been showing up the past few years, and, with nothing else going on they might get some decent ratings for a change :snicker:

I actually heard a sports report on the radio this morning on the way in...
Really? We are actually reporting on the video game sports now?
Are we really that pathetic?
Maybe we should consider actually shutting down Netflix & YouTube and Facebook and forcing people to actually pick up a book and read. (if they still teach kids how to read, that is)

I heard a sports report yesterday, but all they said was this who the Nats and Os should be playing this weekend

It was like an hourly update on Fox news Satellite headline news or something...
They talked about four NBA players advancing to the next round in some simulated competition. No idea WTF he was talking about.

Get it on and get it over with or we all will be in a welfare state.
It sickens me to see how many people are actually enjoying staying home and getting paid to do nothing. It saddens me as to the state of the people of this once great nation. Getting paid to do nothing is NOT a great American value.
