In our group one of the guys that I thought put the most emphasis on the mask and washing his hands and doing all the right things, social distancing, we have no idea how he got covid but he still got covid.

Makes you wonder what actually is the right thing when it comes to something like this.

Can be spread on the ice or the bench, too. It's not fail-safe.

Is it possible that such “precautions” make no difference?

Tying ethnicity to the virus has uniquely harmful and historical implications. Please get your stuff together guys.

''G'' hasn't been to China recently or isn't of Asian descent is he?


Official names:

Disease

This Flu originated in Wuhan, China, so it's natural that people call it that. There are LOTS of diseases that are called by the name of the area where they originated, such as the German Measles, Coxsackie Disease, Spanish Flu, etc. It amazing that people get butt hurt over this. SMDH....

A Meltzer post with under a dozen comments??? All the readers got the Covid too now? I wear a mask everywhere I go..........and go practically nowhere and still got it. Not saying the mask did or did not help but it sure as heck aint fool proof.

More harmful than what the virus has done. You need to get your stuff together. It is the Wuhan flu or the China Flu. China is responsible.

People got butt hurt only because of certain political figure and certain country.
because no one contested British or South African variants of the same virus. No one yet has called Ebola or West Nile viruses racist. Nobody is hurt over Rocky Mountain fever.
The outrage was pretty selective and well orchestrated

I've had to work every day since the pandemic started. I always where a mask. Wash my hands constantly. Only go out when necessary and stay socially distant. Only reason I haven't gotten it? Just good luck.

I believe it is well documents that Chinese communist Party delayed notifying the rest of the world about the concern over the virus. I hold them accountable for This failure and making the spread worse. Not the Chinese people but their government.

At the end of the day, you can only manage the probabilities. It's never gonna be absolute 0%, even if somebody literally never leaves their house.

You can mitigate your risk to a great extent by not being stupid, as you've done.

Playing a hockey season sans-bubble during a pandemic qualifies as pretty stupid, IMO.

At the end of the day, fervent political incorrectness is just as stupid as excessive political correctness. Both sides of the same coin.

Truth be told, I generally don’t agree with anything you post on this board, and most times I’m downright bitter and annoyed you even bother to come on here at all. That said, I completely concur with this and your previous post. Well said.

The sooner people realize that most people will be exposed to the Wuhan virus and that it’s just a matter of time the better off we will all be.
Severe lockdowns delay the inevitable.
Masks are ineffective
My wife was one of the ultra cautious always wearing her mask always had hand sanitizer. Wiped down groceries I brought home.
She got covid during thanksgiving. I never got tested I didn’t have symptoms.
I worked from home and we isolated.
I probably had it last March.

Hopefully the team doctors aren’t just sending the positive players home to ride it out.
There are treatments that many front line doctors have had a high amount of success in treating this.
Of course they get canceled because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Your mistake is thinking it's political. It's not.
