Based on developments in other countries and regions, I think you're not hundred percent right here.

Governments have been too interventional with their healthcare spending -- trying to make healthcare systems 'more efficient'. This means in reality -- more managers and less nurses and doctors.
The (semi)privitization approach by (semi)public healthcare systems means that the difficult cases are getting no attention - and you have a lot of hospitals focusing on non-essential healthcare where margins are high (e.g. IVF, hip replacements, cosmetic surgery, etc.).

Patients are turned into 'clients/customers' -- and the hospitals focus on those cases with best margins.
Infectious diseases (and ICU cases) in general aren't that 'sexy' (from a economic point of view at least) -- and when you have a pandemic outbreak of an infectious disease - this is what happens.

I dare you to go re read the threads back in March.

It was pure madness and stupidity.

We, me and you specifically have came a long way.

Thanks. Keep reminding about that whole weekend thing so that I’m don’t accidentally make insensitive comments on Monday mornings when people are painfully returning to work. I hate being insensitive, accidentally.

Jays talks with LeMahieu have picked up.
Probably will end up as second behind whoever signs him

We'll see.

He freaked out on me for estimating 1.5 million deaths - you can look that one up.

He would be a good addition but can't see the Jays outbidding the Yanks.

You guys already discuss the expected Leaf lineup?

Jonas Siegel
@jonassiegel
Leafs down to one group today. Appears this is the starting roster:

Thornton-Matthews-Marner
Vesey-Tavares-Nylander
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Hyman
Barabanov-Spezza-Simmonds

Robertson-Brooks-Boyd

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Dermott-Bogosian

Sandin-Lehtonen

Andersen-Campbell

I give it about 5 games before either Vesey or Thornton are moved down in the lineup.

A mild shoulder soreness for about 2 hours started about 5 hours after getting the vaccine. It was really nothing.

US Deaths?

Canada?

NHL hockey players?

I need some more context before I choose sides and start calling one of you a loser.

Or looser, as they say on the internet these days.

It can't be worse than getting a COVID test.

At the risk of sounding like a guy wanting to storm the Capitol:

I'm uncomfortable with Milbury losing his job due to his fairly innocent comments last August.

His job is to say interesting things - that's what colour commentators do.

He said there were no women in the bubble to distract the players.

It was a stupid thing to say.

He doesn't deserve to lose his job over it.
