When did you move to Hudson Bay? Kidding. Lol

Euro actually looks okay for some synoptic west of ROC, 3-6”. Absolutely skunks from ROC east though. Really wish we could get a run to make everyone on here happy for X-Mas.

They were back up to 8% today. At the very least it seems to have flat lined and never really had the huge surge that was forecast within 1-2 weeks after Thanksgiving.

That’s someone dying every 23 seconds from covid. That’s insane.

Holy Jesus. Gas leak? Hopefully everyone is okay.

Just found out I was exposed to a confirmed covid case, will be getting a rapid test downtown Buffalo on Thursday. Only $65 but employer is paying for it anyways.

Yeah but only 170,000 doses of which all will go to nursing home residents and workers. It will be Feb-March until regular folks can get the vaccine. After Nursing home residents/workers get it , then it will be first responders and doctors/nurses, and other high risk individuals. I also don’t see us going back to yellow as Cuomo also just stated Erie County has the worst hospital situation in the entire State hence why no more elective surgeries again.

Good news but 19 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the 93 million that was requested by the over 5000 businesses. They only have enough money right now to pay out the 19 million to 1300 businesses of the 5000+ that requested it.

And this is pre thanksgiving. Wait until a week or so from now. 15%+ likely coming.

What Tops do you work at? I worked for them for 4 years when I was a teenager doing everything from cashier, to ez scan, to carts/emptying the bottle machines, to the bakery. I met some good people while I worked there.

Up to almost 8%, welcome the red zone tomorrow.

Still far too high to not be put in red zone Wednesday. You know Cuomo is not going to allow the Galleria to be open on Black Friday lol.

What is pretty crazy is WNY region now has 220 hospitalizations which is up from 30 hospitalizations just last month and already nearing the peak of the “first wave” in May which was near 260 hospitalizations. Good news is there’s only about 50 in ICU compared to almost 150 during the peak of the “first wave”.

https://forward.ny.gov/percentage-positive-results-region-dashboard Thats to view the percentages by “region” and if you click view by county at the top you can see specifics by county.

Red zone is 4% for 10 straight days. Erie county is at day 11 already above 4% (in fact we’re nearing double that now). So technically we should be a red zone but I don’t think they wanted to go straight from yellow to red but there’s no doubt in my mind it’s coming (just before Thanksgiving IMO).

Don’t mind you debating him at all, I have as have many others, but the personal attacks and name calling are just unnecessary and in my opinion makes the rest of your post irrelevant even though you may be making good points with evidence to back it up.

Truly heartbreaking man. I got Duffs wings for takeout for dinner tonight and there was only 1 table of people inside and all the servers were gathered around the bar talking about how after Friday they don’t know how they’re going to survive and they were literally in tears. I felt so bad I even almost teared up. I ALWAYS leave a very generous tip even on takeout orders during the pandemic as these people literally don’t know how long they’re going to have a job for and when their hours might get cut. Really rough stuff for sure.

I kind of don’t understand the whole yellow zone orange zone thing in areas as small as zip codes in NYS. Isn’t it kind of counter intuitive to shut down the highest zip codes but not the surrounding areas which would than cause people in those areas to flush outside of the shutdown zones into areas that have a lower infection rate possibly raising the rates in areas that aren’t doing as bad? As SouthBfloSteve mentioned earlier you could go to a gym in Boston or Springville if you wanted to which is as little as a 10 minute drive for you, I could go eat indoors at a restaurant if I drive just 15 minutes over the border into Niagara County if I want to. I get they want to control the spread in the higher infection rate areas but without closing surrounding areas as well people are just going to flock to those areas. Not that I even agree with the shutdown idea in the first place, I’m just saying that what they are doing seems a little silly on this micro of a level.

Can we not derail this thread and have it shut down like the New England sub forum Covid thread did months ago because of all of the personal attacks, bickering, and nonsense? This thread has for the most part been a pretty good and informative thread to read for the better part of the last 8 months until the last few days. Obviously everyone is going to have their own opinions and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing them but the personal attacks and bickering clogs up the thread and if it continues I would bet money it gets shut down just as the New England thread did. Everyone in here post and contributes valuable information and I appreciate everyone’s input and points of view, it what makes it so awesome to read. Keep up the good work peeps

I actually don’t mind Trump and his antics as ridiculous as he sounds at times, that’s just Trump. However, it is clear he couldn’t give 2 shits about the American people and is too focused on himself it’s absolutely ridiculous. As you said were in a raging pandemic which is about to get even worse than it was in the spring and he doesn’t even mention the words covid or coronavirus. As far as Erie County goes there’s no doubt in my mind the yellow zone will be an Orange Zone by next week with infection rates nearing 9 percent and climbing daily. As you said Erie County is having more cases than anywhere in the state right now including NYC. That’s absurd. Get ready for a long dark winter if we don’t get this thing under control right now. Take out only restaurants, full online schooling, no gyms, movie theaters, hair salons etc. just as it was in March and April.

Wow Governor Charlie Baker of Massachusetts (who is a republican) ripped Trump apart today saying his claims are clearly baseless among many other things.

Singing Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye in the streets.

Biden just announced on CNN as the winner and now the President Elect.

Don’t forget Allegheny County too (Pittsburgh) I think they said around 24,000 - 30,000 left there as well.

Trump still leading in PA by 18k as of now. Still think Biden has enough though especially with Allegheny County (Pittsburgh). We should finally know a winner by tonight.
