I may end up eating my words... and I'm man enough to do so.... but of the 61,000 cases of C-19, half are in New York, and


Ok... here's something else to chew on. How many of the people who have died from C-19 would have died from the 'regular' flu anyway.

Here's data from CDC from February 11, 2020 !

So how do these numbers compare to flu deaths in previous years? So far, it looks like the 2019-2020 death toll won’t be as high as it was in the 2017-2018 season, when 61,000 deaths were linked to the virus. However, it could equal or surpass the 2018-2019 season's 34,200 flu-related deaths.


Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year.

I'm not a statistic freak... but estimates say the average per year has a 5 X variability from year to year... AGAIN, WTF are we doing here ?!?!?!?!
Don't forget the fact we have a big leg up on it now, we have vaccines and are figuring out which ones work the best. Like they said, took them 8 days to surpass what S Korea was doing and they were the model. This is Fucking the USA, we conquer baby!

We do not have a vaccine for Covid-19. Best case scenario is one will be available in 6 months. Absolute best case. Most experts think it will be 12-16 months until a viable vaccine is available.

Coronavirus vaccine: when will it be ready?

Not a full blown vaccine but drugs to combat it now are being made readily available. Cheer up and hope for some good news.

Flyers signed Wade Allison last night too. He was a hot prospect after his great sophomore year. Hextall tried to get him signed back then, but he tore his ACL, struggled his junior year, and started slow his senior year. Ended on a note though.

All the tweets say he'll be a fan favorite. "A more energetic Pitlick with a better shot". "Best teammate you can imagine".

So that's exciting. Another guy I was concerned they wouldn't be able to get signed.

If Giroux and Voracek can hang on for a bit and/or Konecny can go to even another gear, this team is going to be absolutely stacked for the next 3-5 years. NAK, Allison, Laczysnki, Laughton, Patrick, Frost, Rubtsov, Bunnaman. They're like 12 guys for bottom 6 spots if you assume Giroux, Jake, Coots, TK, and Hayes have 5 of the top 6 spots on lock.

And Hart. And Provorov, Sanheim, and Myers on defense. Plus Zamula and York looking good.

Cups boys. Cups.
