This has been going on for a long time. About 10 years ago, my son's high school receiver here in Calgary who went on to junior football with the Calgary Colts practiced everyday with the Stamps as part of a development program they had at the time. He'd go to Stamps practice in the morning & then to Colts at night. that isn't being done anymore. He told my son back then that just about all the Stamps receivers he practiced with smoked weed & weren't concerned about being tested at all. I think a majority of players smoke weed now. So, makes no sense to test them.
School bus driver here. I'm in the same boat. if they close schools I can't pay my bills as I won't get paid. The schools remain open for now. Plus, there is no such thing as social distancing in my job. The problem is getting from where we are here... to that place called soon.
Nobody wants NHL in July & August. Except diehards. If they did play from end of June until almost September expect a shortened 48 game season to start in January.
Yeah, we were looking forward to it but what can anyone do? I just hope health officials get a handle on what is happening in Seattle. Please stay safe.
Alberta has 23 cases of the Covid 19. All large gatherings of over 250 people will not be allowed. Anyone who travels internationally is being urged to self quarantine for 14 days upon return even if no symptoms. Alberta Chief Medical Officer doesn't recommend anyone from Alberta travel internationally & that includes the US. My son & his wife live in Seattle. We were planning on driving down for a visit next week but have cancelled. The province is discussing closing down the entire school system but haven't decided yet. Spring Break for public schools in Calgary is the end of next week. I fully expect that they will be & we'll be off a month. I drive a school bus so this affects me directly. What bothers me is where is our federal government? The Provinces are taking the lead here not the feds. I could make a few comments about our Great Leader who is now in self quarantine about the borders remaining open but I won't.
A few days ago, Alberta had no Covid 19 cases. Now, there are 19 with 14 in the Calgary region. The province's health authority has issued an advisory saying people over 65 should not travel internationally, including the US. The Province is also urging anyone who has travelled internationally to self quarantine for 2 weeks.
