Oilers, Elks, that virus you heard about (2019-?), and progressive politics.

Chess + math in the background. Competence + Compassion always.
The Premier's latest idea is partnering with private entities to provide services so that the gov't has more oversight (..?) and for faith groups to take care of vulnerable people instead of gov't.

+ pushing that immigrants shouldn't be allowed to access social services: bsky.app/profile/cthe...
Here is a transcript of what the premier said.

Day 932. Responses to policy: "Skate Canada says it will no longer host major events in Alberta following a review of the province's legislation on the participation of transgender athletes in women's sport."

& "Most Albertans would vote to stop taxpayer dollars from going to private schools."

This prompted by Nurse-Regula being about 56% xGF but +4/-9

Regula, at 0.880, is slightly above the Oilers median, and ranks 577th out of 675.

I was actually looking for save percentage. No Oiler ranks in the top 200 5v5 (out of 675 skaters, 100 min.).

Lazar is best at 202nd, with a 0.919. Surely someone should be luckier than that...

4/ Ventilation saves lives. Clean indoor air, through ventilation or filtration, dramatically cuts the spread of respiratory infections. It’s time to treat air quality like food hygiene: a basic public health requirement.

Day 931. "Senior Alberta government officials stalled the submission of a coal mine pollution study to a scientific journal and prevented the lead researcher from speaking publicly about his work."

-> Me trying to puzzle out 'well, nose is running a bit and stomach has been a little strange, and a week ago I was around someone the day before they said they were sick... or maybe it's just really cold outside and I haven't been eating well'

...It's not remotely a random correlation

In another statistical vein, my can't-prove-it, or maybe-very-obvious COVID take is that ppl have had it more than they think, because of asymptomatic or lightly symptomatic cases that are unlabelled or unnoticed.

A 7-play, 26-yard drive to set up a go-ahead field goal, followed by a 5-play, 25-yard drive by the other team to go back ahead. C'mon man. This is the NHL shootout on a football field. It's not real ball
