Wife goes to Winnipeg to coach, @WestJet cancels her thanksgiving flight home. Holds no accountability, rebooks her to Calgary tomorrow night and Saskatoon the next day. No offer of food or hotel or anything. Complete bush league bullshit move!!

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

When In doubt complain to the league... setting a great example. Don’t get your way... wine and complain and people will do what you want #whatajoke

Lakers formally complain to NBA about LeBron James' low free throw numbers in WCF

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

Not to take sides, but the NBA really needs to address the inconsistency in Refing or I may need to stop watching. If I wanna watch people work on their free throws I'll go the the YMCA

Lakers getting a few calls here?!

[Barstool Sports @barstoolsports]

When you play for the Lakers this is considered clean defense

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@clahanna Also why are we opening the same day as Ontario, our case amount is so different. Either we should have been open earlier or they should still wait. I think the first.

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach Cool will read it for sure

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

Was in Korea during the outbreak and they didn't follow crazy social isolation either, only big groups... saw people out until the day I left. Maybe we should look at slightly less extreme options not ruining the economy... Just thinking though

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach Agreed they have been on a rise as of late, I would like to know more demographics on their deaths but certainly may not be the path... But also could, time will tell

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach Agreed there needs to be time and measures, or health will be at risk. I believe Sweden is doing this is the hope of not sending their country into major recession which is what Korea did as well. Where is the balance is the question I wonder about

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@centteach @JeremyRSchmidt Keep in mind I am following the rules and not out galavanting around or saying any side is right or wrong. I just like looking at various sides.of things

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@centteach @JeremyRSchmidt Has neither been confirmed not denied sadly like pretty much everything about the virus. Nobody seems to have anything actually concrete. Totally number of cases is confirmed either nor is death rate... Still too new

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach Also there is the argument that suppression measures are in place but seeing as they didn't come in until the spike that death rate could go down once they are deemed effective to future cases

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach That's great is 35 million people get it, but before everyone would contract it you would get herd immunity (not saying that's the way to go or not) but to simple assume everyone gets it and will die at said rate is a little short sighted

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach 427k cases are active since we just don't have supplies to test everyone, if we did then I was accept those rates. We won't know how qctuay deadly it is till it's over, it could be less deadly or even more. But the article does state they are taking measures.

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@JeremyRSchmidt @centteach Was never saying it is less deadly than the flu, if it was then nothing would be closed. It about measures to deal with it being as it is. Though we won't know the actual mortality rate until we see how many people have it that have no symptoms, can assume there is more than

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@centteach But who knows I'm no expert just read and look at numbers and form opinions on my own, with a little less fear then some going through this twice so to speak haha

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@centteach That being said this could prove to be much less deadly than we think it more. We won't know till everyone is tested and it's understood more. Too many asymptomatic people to know actual percentages. I just like seeing both sides, feel like this might be a little fear based

[Gavin Schmitt @SchmittyGav]

@centteach Thing is nothing is known for sure about it, though most reports say that you cannot contact it twice, itsv highly unlikely. But most of the articles point I think is we have never hid from the unknown like this
