Good afternoon, boneheads!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately, things are getting busy at the hospital, but in a good way.
In other news, the latest data suggest that between 20%-25% of NYC population has been infected using the serum antibody test. There are many different tests around, none is FDA approved, and it’s up to tests producers to validate them properly. It’s still far from being very reliable, and there are many known questionable results. But looking at what we have, the good news is that the true case fatality rate is much, much lower than what it shows now. The bad news is that we are nowhere near the herd immunity number. Even if it were 40%, it would still not be enough.
I’ve been listening to Cuomo as much I could the last few days. He’s being careful, and he is being calculated. Too careful? Perhaps. But hard to argue his approach. We are reaching some of the required numbers already, so I think this month we will see some movement in terms of opening it up.
Hockey? A few new articles around. A couple by LB, click here, and here. And another one by Carp. I might’ve missed a few.
UPDATE (That didn’t take long): Click here to read another article by LB

Best goalie name ever.
Put Chris Christie in goal – arf arf.
Christie in one net and the Geico walrus in the other.
coos, the actual quote from comrade Lenin was: – “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them”, but I would add that than, if the price for it is right, capitalist-entrepreneur will pay a hangman with this money to turn a noose to other way…
Key added word here is “us.” My quote means something completely different, e.g.: Capitalism is forever and is ingrained in the human psyche.
Good morning, boneheads!
Happy 26th, CCCP!
I’m dreaming of a white mother’s day… er that didn’t come out quite right 😉
With Wall signed the only one the Rangers haven’t signed is Barron. Great name for a goalie. It’s getting crowded between the pipes. Allaire will have to bring in his brother to help out.
so far…another May that Rick Nash has not scored in….hello all hope everyone is well…p.s. I love IPA’s and have no plant based erectile issues…lol
Any thoughts on the latest playoff rumors out there? 24 teams with a 3 game playoff to qualify for seeds 9-24. In this scheme, the Rangers would play a 3 game series with Toronto. The remaining 7 teams would be in the lottery. Apparently, the NHLPA likes this better than finishing the regular season as players on teams that are out of it are not excited about playing out meaningless games. I would just love to have some live sports to watch other than the Korean Baseball League. The Bundesliga opens back up next weekend. I am very much looking forward to that.
Does Patrick Roy have an interview in Vegas?
replacement longshots…
1. Derek Roy
2. Joe Tiger…
too soon?
I saw a Netflix documentary on Tyler Wall’s brother, Berlin.
Is it time to unfreeze Ted Williams yet, and who owns his rights?
I think they only froze Ted’s head in a cost cutting measure. Maybe thaw him out for a TED talk. I hope someone has paid the electric bill.
My erectile issues are also not plant-based.
Patrick Roy demanding the end to social distancing because he hasn’t been act like a prick to someone face to face since the end of February.
“It’s just not same on zoom”
That was a TED talk. How did the subject get to ED? It’s not 3 am on the History Channel.
ORF CCCP thinks IPA’s cause his pecker to wilt and his boobs to get woman-sized
The math/science types should appreciate this

My MOM.
Despite being born in the so called, Silver Age, my highly educated, intelligent and gifted Mom, who’s qualities was never sought after, all her life lived on the territory and times of most horrific tyrannies and events humanly imaginable, such as WW1, Revolution, Civil War, Red Terror, Big Surge, Labor(Concentration) Camps, WW2 and prohibitive label of the “Enemy of the people” thereafter, losing on the way most of her, once numerous, relatives and loved ones, including her husband – my father, to the tormenting death. She managed, however, to raise my brother and me (I was born in the labor camp), working as a mine’s horse, but being neat, loving, compassionate, humorous, thirsty for life and open to the people.
The more talented pen could, probably, write a novel about her life as big as Somerset Maugham’s “Forsyte Saga”, but when I think about my Mom’s life now, together with a tremendous bitterness, I came to the conclusion that she, besides being an example of undying love and subject of the very sad story of unfulfilled, distorted and oppressed life, was nevertheless, as well, also a Hymn to the amazing resistance, survival power, resilience and, the most important of all, – ability to preserve humanity in oneself in a totally unhuman environment and under unimaginable circumstances. I only hope, I inherited some of it.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all.
