Re: covid and MH
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 ...

Re: covid and MH
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...

Re: covid and MH
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.

Re: covid and MH
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...

Re: covid and MH
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 ...

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...

Re: covid and MH
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 ...

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...

Re: covid and MH
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.

Re: MSHSL Oct 1st Meeting (Boys Hockey Season Fate)
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...

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 ...
