Translation: Circumvention to collect $. They are all about getting paid..not about the Lax, as they advertise. If you live on LI you have to drive 3 1/2 hrs to play all LI teams...what a shafting.
Actually more than half of the teams listed in the East qualifier are non LI teams. It wont hurt you to get off the Island for a day.
Tell that to the 500,000 families who lost people from COVID.
You, of course, realize that if you got sick off hospital food and died, you'd be listed as a COVID death, right? Hospitals get a bigger payout from the gov't and get to keep their non-COVID-related mortality rates low. Win-win for them. I'm not saying that hundreds of thousands of people have not died from COVID, I'm sure they have, I'm only saying don't believe the numbers you've been spoon-fed. Case in point - Cuomo killed Grandma.
