I get the same sense. I’m always nervous giving a coach more influence over their rosters. But Krueger does have relevant experience. He’s been a team president and He helped put together the Swiss rosters for a decade +. Hey, Maybe they’ll end up being the Bills Beane/McDermott combo? I can tell I've been a Buffalo sports fan for too long when I’m already finding reasons to get excited about this.... ? Yes, both Greeley and Sexton fired too. Bummer about Greeley.

https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/sabres-name-kevyn-adams-senior-vice-president-of-business-administration/c-309397640 I didnt know Adams was running the business administration side of the Sabres. I thought he just worked at harborcenter. It makes me feel a bit better that he does at least have some experience in an NHL front office. He also has NHL playing + coaching experience. Maybe he’ll end up being a well rounded candidate. I knew he was being groomed by the Sabres for years. I didn’t expect him to be named GM yet, though. Im shocked but I’m sure I’ll find reasons to get excited. I’ll be anxious to hear Adams address the media. On a positive, “it’s a situation where” His press conferences can’t be any worse and less inspiring than Botterill’s were... ?

They named him full time GM. No interim. He and Ralph will be working together, it sounds like. ?‍♂️

https://wyrk.com/breaking-buffalo-sabres-fire-gm-jason-botterill/ Wonder what this means for Ralph Krueger? WTF??

https://wyrk.com/breaking-buffalo-sabres-fire-gm-jason-botterill/ Jason Botterill fired. I hope they keep Krueger though, especially after how much Eichel raved about him. I don’t know how happy Eichel would be if Krueger is canned too. Not interim? Actual GM? What in the ****!! What experience does Kevyn Adams have?? Running the harborcenter? JFC.

This was pretty stunning to see. Photo on the left was taken about a month before he got covid 19, and the one on the right was taken after 6 weeks in the hospital. story: https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2020/05/20/nurse-coronavirus-survivor-before-and-after-nr-keilar-vpx.cnn

Ezekiel Elliott is one of them (I read 4 total so far).

So sad. I really feel for the family. 27 is far too young. RIP.

New study (looks like it’s peer reviewed) https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2020/06/10/2009637117 ‘Identifying airborne transmission as the dominant route for the spread of COVID-19’

Lots more detail in the twitter thread.

Thanks for all you’ve done here at TBD throughout this pandemic Hapless. It’s much appreciated!

I thought hapless asked you some very reasonable questions and laid out a very strong, well thought out argument using facts. Just FYI, Hapless has worked in (and taught) epidemiology. Id love to see her check her credentials against yours... ? You’re calling the wrong person “ignorant”. She is by far the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to all this stuff.

I was just joking around.

I think we have our top 2 RBs already. I’m very excited to see a 1-2 punch of Devin Singletary and Zach moss.

To those saying they’re done if a Bills player takes a knee - see you on football Sunday’s! ?

Study on years of life lost due to covid 19: https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/5-75 It found that people are dying on average over a decade sooner than they were expected to.

Its also wrong to say “we did nothing” about those other pandemics. We took action early. We let the CDC lead and do their thing. SARS timeline (CDC): https://www.cdc.gov/about/history/sars/timeline.htm - March 12th WHO issues global alert on SARS. - March 14th: CDC activated its Emergency Operations Center (EOC). - March 15th: CDC issued a health alert notice and travel warnings. -March 17th: CDC holds 1st briefing on SARS. 14 cases in the US. -March 20th: CDC issues infection control precautions for aerosol-generating procedures on patients who are suspected of having SARS. -within 2 weeks of WHO alert, the CDC begins utilizing pandemic planning for SARS. (screening, tracing & quarantine) - within 15 days of the WHO global alert: ”CDC quarantine staff began meeting planes, cargo ships and cruise ships coming either directly or indirectly to the United States from China, Singapore and Vietnam and also begins distributing health alert cards to travelers.” - April 3rd: team of international infectious disease experts arrives in Guangdong province to investigate the outbreak (including US experts). - April 4th: President George W. Bush adds SARS to the list of quarantinable diseases, which gives the CDC the authority to isolate persons who might have been exposed to the disease. - by May 6th we had successfully contained it’s spread in the US. But SARS was nowhere near the scale of covid 19. There were only 9000 cases globally and less than 800 total deaths. The United States had less than 40 total cases. We’ve been averaging 1000+ deaths PER DAY, every day for months with covid 19. Covid 19 seems to clearly transmit much easier than SARS. I believe the viral load with SARS peaked much later vs Covid 19 (more infectious later vs earlier with covid) and the symptoms were more pronounced (easier to tell if you had SARS). We took similar actions with other pandemics too. I don’t feel like doing complete timelines for all of them. Here’s a link to the timeline for swine flu: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/2009-pandemic-timeline.html quick highlights: -tested over 1 million within the first month -issued public health emergency -asked congress early for $1.5B to fight the virus - closed schools for 14 days if a single case of h1n1 was found -980 schools were dismissed in May alone -anti-viral drugs released to treat h1n1 - FDA approves 4 h1n1 vaccines in Sept. -1st doses of vaccine released in US by October. Big differences: we had established treatments for influenza already in place (like anti viral drugs). We had more immunity built up to influenza. We had a vaccine by October. The mortality rate for swine flu was 0.02%. We only lost 12,600 total. Our hospitals weren’t being overwhelmed like with covid 19. Once again, not really at all comparable to covid 19. We only had 2 cases of MERS in the US, but it was still monitored closely: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/us.html We never had any (human) cases of bird flu in the US: https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/qa/have-humans-in-the-united-states-ever-contracted-bird-flu
