"Mass. teen who played hockey out of state contracts COVID-19" by Bob Hohler Globe Staff, August 14, 2020
Fans wearing masks watched as Massachusetts Public/Catholic players clashed with Massachusetts Preps players along the boards during a game at Cyclones Arena in Hudson, NH, Aug. 8, 2020 (Nathan Klima for The Boston Globe).
Will someone please blow the whistle -- on the "crowd."
A teenage boy from Massachusetts who crossed state lines to play in an ice hockey tournament has tested positive for COVID-19, raising new concerns about youth sports teams’ efforts to circumvent the state’s restrictions on certain contact sports.
They should have stayed home, and as usual, you violate the tyrannical directives and you somehow come up positive.
This $camdemic has become monstrously evil.
The teenager, who was born in 2006, competed with a New York team in an elite tournament in Connecticut from July 31 to Aug. 2, according to Chet Murch, general manager of The Rinks at Exeter in New Hampshire. At least 12 other players from New York have tested positive for the virus.
Murch said he was informed about the case by a New York contact tracing organization because the Massachusetts boy, not knowing he had contracted the virus, participated in a skills clinic at the Exeter facility after he played in the Connecticut tournament.
Public health authorities have not said whether any other participants in the tournament have been infected. Managers of the Boston Hockey Club and Boston Junior Blues did not respond to requests for comment.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued a statement that said, “DPH is aware of this situation and is in communication with the other New England states to coordinate contact tracing.”
And the NOOSE gets TIGHTER and TIGHTER with EACH PASSING DAY, with NO ONE to PUT a STOP TO IT, moo-moo!!
Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease specialist at Tufts Medical Center, said coaches and athletes may consider infection rates in neighboring states low enough to participate in contact sports that are not permitted under Governor Charlie Baker’s COVID-19 protocols for Massachusetts, but there is inherent danger.
“The Baker administration has determined that we’re not at a point where we as a state are taking that level of risk” with sports such as ice hockey, Doron said. “So, [the teenager] cheated the system by leaving the state and, lo and behold, there was a risk associated with close contact sports.” She said, “When you play contact sports during a pandemic, you’re going to have exposures.”
Unless its pro basketball, and oh, the kids cheated even as they are being cheated, and yeah, lo and behold a f**king agenda-pushing liar shows up.
Did they ever cancel sports before over flu?

"Dr. Michael Apkon is stepping down as chief executive of Tufts Medical Center after less than two years on the job. Apkon, 60, who took the position after serving as the CEO of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, plans to work with “elected leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators to improve health care policy and accelerate change in the industry,” Tufts Medical said in a statement Thursday. Michael Tarnoff, who is currently chief of surgery, will take over as chief executive on an interim basis....."
They just laid off 2,000 workers, too, so skate away from Tufts at all costs.
The New York State Amateur Hockey Association’s board of directors distributed a letter Tuesday reporting that some of the infected players are “very sick” and “in some cases have passed the virus on to family members and/or friends.”
Under New York’s COVID-19 regulations, ice hockey is classified as a high-risk sport, and residents are barred from playing in the state or beyond its borders. The hockey board’s letter said New York players have violated state regulations by participating in tournaments both in New Hampshire and Connecticut, where ice hockey competitions are permitted.
Unless you are the National Hockey League and its playoffs, and that gravy train is about to run dry.
“Players (and some coaches) who participated in these tournaments may now have contracted COVID unknowingly, and could also be passing the virus along to other players in their home rinks and to family members and friends,” the state board’s letter said.
May and could be?
Maybe not?
This is the unending slop from the agenda-pu$hing pre$$ one has to endure on a daily basis around here.
Bunch of disingenuous, duplicitous, and deceitful tyrants in charge of the $tate wherever is yours.
More than one team from New York participated in the Connecticut tournament.
“Reckless decisions that are now leading to positive tests amongst our players will only hurt our attempts to get our sport reopened by the state government,” the board’s letter said.
Aren't we the safest place in the nation now, and yet not?
Denied us herd immunity for a "virus" that has a 99.98% survival rate and most never know they have, blah, blah, blah.
IMMENSE EVIL!
The Boston Hockey Club and Boston Junior Blues are not affiliated with Massachusetts Hockey, the sport’s governing body in the state. The Boston Hockey Club has continued competing beyond state lines, as they are this week at a tournament in Hooksett, N.H.
Mass Hockey has enforced the regulation prohibiting its affiliates from competing during the pandemic and now is preparing for games to resume, beginning Monday, with modified rules under the state’s newly revised protocols.
As for the Massachusetts boy who contracted the virus, his condition has not been disclosed. Infectious disease specialists indicated they were most concerned about the possibility of him infecting others.
“He is likely to be fine because younger people tend to have much less severe disease,” said Dr. William Hanage, an associate professor of epidemiology at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “The problem is, his age group is particularly significant in transmission because they tend to have trouble with social distancing.”
Riotous protests that sack cities and communities will be your new sport, kids.
Given how extremely contagious COVID-19 is, Hanage said he hoped public health officials in Connecticut closely investigated whether the virus spread more widely because of transmission at the tournament. State and local public health officials in Connecticut did not respond to requests for comment.
?????
At the arena in Exeter, N.H., Murch said the infected Massachusetts boy attended a clinic with dozens of players from New Hampshire and other New England states after he participated in the Connecticut tournament. Murch said he was not aware of any other players or staff who have tested positive for the virus since then. The other players and staff were advised to quarantine for 14 days or be tested.
The endgame is to test us all and declare us all positive based on their bull$hit tests.

"After several members of the Medford High School community tested positive for coronavirus, the school’s graduation ceremony scheduled for Saturday at Hormel Stadium has been canceled, officials said. The ceremony was scheduled to occur with social distancing requirements in place, city officials said in a statement. On Wednesday, however, the Medford Board of Health informed the school that multiple members of the Medford High School community who were scheduled to participate in the ceremony tested positive for COVID-19. “For these reasons, and for the safety of all community members, the graduation ceremony has been cancelled,” the statement said. Officials said they will reach out to students soon to discuss the distribution of diplomas."
You kids realize a diploma won't mean $hit now, right?
Well, reality has sunk in in Beantown (that's explains the $tench) as this year's Red Sox team is unsalvageable because of the sloppy play, and they are right where they belong (last place).
I miss the call of "peanuts, hair, get ya' peanuts hair:
"Louisiana authorities have arrested three women accused of assaulting a teenage restaurant hostess because they were upset they couldn’t all be seated together due to coronavirus distancing rules. Tammy Dabney, 48, was charged with aggravated second-degree battery, and Rodneka Dabney, 27, and Erica Dabney, 46, were booked on counts of disturbing the peace and simple battery, Baton Rouge police said Thursday. The 17-year-old hostess told news outlets she was working at a Baton Rouge Chili’s last weekend when a party of 11 people arrived and wanted to be seated together. She said the restaurant’s coronavirus policies stipulated no more than six people could be seated at a table. When the worker told the group they couldn’t be seated all together, they became irate, she said. When she brought her manager over, the group of women attacked the teen, she said, adding they pushed her and began beating her. The worker said she was trying to defend herself when one woman hit her with a “wet floor” sign, leaving her bleeding....."
Is that the same Tammy Dabney that was hanging around Fenway?
Of course, the Globe almost completely ignores the self-appointed enforcers who toss hot coffee in people's faces or chases women and their babies out of stores.
The Globe has a myopic tunnel vision when it comes to such things as they dispense their moralism upon the rest of us:
Hey, “that man over there isn’t wearing a mask.” This becomes one of the now too common moments that each of us working in grocery stores during the pandemic has come to dread: confrontations with customers that span from mild to ugly to violent. I walk over to the unmasked man. “Excuse me, sir, I need to ask you to put on a mask. It’s a store requirement.” “I already talked to your manager,” he says, smirking. “I have a medical condition.” There it is: the two words — medical condition — that are the bullet in this game of Russian Roulette with the health and lives of the rest of us. From the smirk on his face and the “nyah-nyah” way he says it, I believe he is lying....."
That's coming from the all-time champs at lying, the American pre$$!
They think they are hot $hit, when they are really worthle$$ $hits.
What's next, exile to an island?
"Officials on Block Island have suspended all outdoor entertainment until the end of summer as Governor Gina Raimondo has singled out the popular vacation destination as “not doing well” amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Block Island Town Council voted 3-1 Wednesday night to pull all outdoor entertainment licenses, over the objections of a number of residents and business owners. The order takes effect immediately, but doesn’t impact weddings, according to The Block Island Times. Raimondo earlier this week suggested island officials might have to take further action to control possible spread of the virus after photos of packed ferries to the island were widely shared on social media. The island has had fewer than 10 reported cases of COVID-19, according to the Times (AP)."
The border war is on the inside, and it is being waged by governments on their own citizens!
