A true double standard, which our governor doesn't seem to care about. See big box stores vs. everything else shut down; hopefully most cities/associations have the resources available to move things outside as soon as the weather allows. Storm..."big box stores" are considered essential ...

Do any of the smart research people out there know the answer to this question? Approximately 44,000 or 45,000 people die in Minnesota every year from all causes This would mean approximately 37,000 would die in the first 10 months in the year Does anyone know how many Minnesotans actually died thr...

How exactly are they seeing more "sports related" in hockey if hockey hasn't started yet? Ummmm....Dog, it’s Nov. 15. There has been competitive high school and/or youth level hockey since Labor Day. The people I have spoken with in my area involved in tracking and managing Covid are sayi...

Waltz just said that the various science and medical experts they rely on are saying the level of spread in the upper Midwest is the worst it has been anywhere in the world since the pandemic began.

Listening to the governor’s briefing. Doesn’t sound like they’re announcing any new restrictions today. Sounds like if they’re going to, it will come at the next briefing. Not sure if that’s tomorrow or Thursday. He just got asked specifically about what might happen with sports. Walz just said ther...

Be prepared for increased cases when the shutdown occurs due to kids maintaining a social life. MSHSL will regret this decision. Maybe not this year. But when their Bread and Butter money maker Hockey State Tournament is bye-bye, schools will be faced with increased fees which will lead to further ...

Iron Ranger and Others- yes I believe I suggested on this forum last spring that nursing home staff ought to be getting triple pay for hazard duty, but only if they maintain a negative test every day / week. If they can’t get enough people to report to duty with negative, tests , then national guar...

Some great thoughts folks. 6AA...Your idea about boosting low paid, LTC home worker pay is basically what myself and others are advocating our government do, just in a more targeted way. But still, a very good idea. That would be important since many of these workers have second jobs (where they can...

They will be pausing all winter sports after this coming weekend in hopes of preventing spread related to the Thanksgiving holiday. It will most likely be a two week pause. It sucks...but we have only ourselves to blame. Let's do better people. I keep hearing the "got to do better" but ho...

Eye on Politics @EyeOnPolitics Ehresman says they are seeing the more and more sports related outbreaks in football (35), basketball (20), volleyball (41), soccer (15), hockey (46). It's also affecting schools, and pushing some into distance learning. Sounds like the Gov. may push the pause button ...

Of Interest: Tom Hauser @thauserkstp DEVELOPING: Sounds like there might be a “pause” coming in winter sports at youth and high school levels in Minnesota. This could include stoppage of games and practices, according to Gov. Walz and Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm. Could be announced in next day ...

We just got word this morning that our northern Ramsey County school district will be transitioning its elementary and middle school students to full distance learning at the end of this month. The school district bordering us to the south already is 100% distance learning. I don't know what this m...

Buffalo had covid issues for Football done for the season as is MG but glad to see they are getting 100 more people in for a bridge game. Those who are most at risk or afraid of COVID should not attend tonight's bridge game. BTW it's at 5pm at SLP West Rink and I'm going to be there. Thanks for the...

For those that believe youth sports isn’t or hasn’t been a significant Covid infection vector, here’s another article from late October from the Boston Globe. I’m pretty sure they’re using the same Covid safety protocols in arenas that we are. https://www.boston.com/news/coronavirus/2020/11/12/massa...

My mistake. They're coordinating to halt any interstate competition, not shutting the sport down completely. My sincere apologies for not reading it more closely. Still a significant step.

My bad, they're suspending any interstate competition. Not shutting down the sport completely. My sincere apologies for that mistake. Still very significant though.

Posted this on the MH and Covid thread as well...The six New England states and New Jersey just coordinated shutting youth and high school hockey down until at least Jan.1st. https://vtdigger.org/liveblog/vermont-six-other-states-shut-down-school-and-youth-hockey-until-dec-31/ Remember, their youth ...

Six New England states and New Jersey coordinate to pause youth sports, specifically hockey until at least Jan. 1.

And it seems like every time I check Twitter, there's another school board voting to postpone youth athletics for weeks/months (Duluth, Bloomington, St. Peter, etc.). Do these developments cause MHCA, MN Hockey or MSHSL to change their course for the upcoming season? I’ll let Elliott confirm or den...

jg - imagine you’re a senior in HS and you can’t play unless you move. What would you do? blueblood....but wouldn't they (player & family) have to physically move into the new school district to be immediately eligible this season? If so, I doubt anyone is transferring now. At least for winter ...

Any 218’ers think this decision will lead to players open enrolling to Cloquet, Marshall, Hermantown or other schools in the northland? I believe Marshall has already had a slight increase in numbers due to the Duluth public schools starting online at middle and high school. However, strictly from ...

Goldy you are 1000% correct We all become products of the sources we read and watch (CNN, Fox, CNBC...Star Tribune, Trumps twitter account and yes even Facebook)...For every article written by a medical expert that we should shut down the world, there's another article written by a expert saying ju...

To add...Minnesota total cases "yesterday/today" is 5,454... State test positivity rate now at 11.9%. Needs to be below 5% to have effective "control". We are not in a good place right now. This sucks...

Why is this so challenging for some of you to understand or acknowledge? You had me until this sentence. Simply not necessary. Schotzy...my apologies if you find that sentence "unnecessary". The reason I state it is because almost no one on here who has strongly opposed "lock downs/s...
