The Patriots just matched down to BLM plaza in DC and tore all the BLM signs down. This ain’t good...

Trump chiming in. I think he knows it’s over and his last chance is to rally his hardcore base. It’s a crazy idea but could he stage a coup and refuse to transfer power? He can rally armed supporters in the streets. He’s moving a lot of pentagon officials around. He already has a mostly favorable rating amongst police officers. Could he be slowly beating the war drum for his supporters? It would be the icing on the cake for the year known as 2020.

Talk about a super spreader event. The “Million MAGA March” in DC today. Estimated about 10,000 people showed up. Yikes!

Aside from a nation wide lock down, which he would never do, what else can he do? He’s left a lot of this up to the states to manage at their discretion. Testing capacity has increased, treatment therapies have improved, hopefully the hospitals have been stocking up on supplies and equipment over the last 7 months? Cases are spiking everywhere right now where they spiked in March/April. This isn’t a “Americans aren’t following the rules” spike, something bigger changing.

Think we have a real issue with the turn around time on the test results and with the county contact tracing team. Had one of the workers at my store become sick on 11/2, they went for a test on 11/4, didn’t get the results back until 11/9, and the county didn’t get the results officially to start contact tracing until 11/12. Luckily we’ve been pretty on our game and based on how severe their symptoms were we went ahead and alerted those who worked closely with this individual on the 4th that they may have been exposed and to self monitor extremely closely for any unusual symptoms. The fact that it’s taking 10 days for the county to get these results and conduct contact tracing is pointless in my opinion. After 10 days the close contacts, if exposed and infected, have likely already passed it on to a new set of contacts, rendering this whole method useless.

Not looking good. Yellow Zone rate today was 8.1%...

Might not be a full statewide lockdown, but I could see Erie County going from yellow to orange by this weekend.

I still would like to know how they are really going to enforce this 10 person limit on gatherings at a private residence? Not to be superstitious or anything... but the last time we had a Friday the 13th was in March. Same weekend we went into lock down #1... what are the odds this Friday the 13th we will probably be doing the same thing...

But I thought the virus didn’t take holidays off Mark?

What’s everyone thinking is causing the sudden spike? I know elsewhere in the country some places are very lax on masks and other protocols, but I think we’re overall pretty good in NY following the guidelines. We were good up through September and into October, what changed? Are schools causing it? Bars/Restaurants with outdoor dining not as much of an option now? Indoor parties now with people not in your inner circle? Virus mutation with the season changing?

This is like a movie...

Sure that’s what they charge... but with evictions on hold for the foreseeable future it’s not like you really have to pay it anyways...

Summer 2022 we’ll still be waiting in line for our shot and Biden will still be saying “it’s Trump fault” this took so long...

The more I read about this “doctor” the more crazy it gets. He believes people (including himself) should die by age 75. Then in regards to the vaccine... Emanuel argued, that “prioritizing seniors at higher risk would mean sending a disproportionate amount of vaccines to wealthier countries” Maybe I’m wrong but aren’t high risk seniors the most likely group to die from COVID? Shouldn’t they be first in line?

Sorry America... Get to the back of the line! Is this real life?

WNY is on the naughty list. Upgraded to a yellow zone in most of Erie County. Man... zoom in on that Erie County Map... there’s clusters everywhere...

That’s been an issue lately. Regular tests are running 3-4 business days to turn around. Rapid test are 24 hours but at least what I’m hearing the supply can’t meet the demand right now creating a wait list and the average time to schedule a rapid test is 3 days. Think I heard CVS or one of the other national pharmacy was the best chance for trying to get a same day rapid test. So many people are getting tested now.

Honest question (since I think I’m one of the two trump backers on this board). Is anyone concerned about splinter groups or lone wolfs taking up arms or committing domestic terrorism as a response to the election results? Some of the chatter on the underground conservative networks right now is not good. On top of that Trump’s latest post is basically a call for the Patriots to rise up...

I don’t favor a lockdown... but I can see Cuomo doing it.

Was just thinking maybe some states were waiting for the election to be over before bumming everyone out yet again this year with another lockdown. I’m feeling Cuomo is going to give us a last warning over the weekend and then by middle to end of next week we go back to everything closed through at least January. Markets will already be spiraling with the election results, this will tank them. We knew the second wave would come in the fall, at this point it’s finding out what our acceptable level of a curve would be. We can’t stay flat lined forever, but we better be ready to start pumping the breaks in time.

That video was garbage. Makes us look like nut jobs. I’m not really seeing any proof of outright “organized fraud” at this point. Few lone individuals picking people’s mail for social media fame but can’t picture those would make a difference at all. What concerns me is the videos from inside the election offices where the mail in ballots were counted. In numerous cities police were called and removed all Republicans from the counting rooms. The poll watchers then tried to use binoculars and cell phone video to observe the counts and the windows were covered up. I’m sorry but to me that’s crazy that no Republicans can be present in the counting rooms. For most the biggest point of questioning is Biden’s sudden late spikes in all these states, which we are told is a result of heavier mail in balloting. If everything is legit why won’t they make the process for counting these transparent for us the voters to see. Need to debunk the claims for all to see. Censoring and blocking the claims will just make the theories grow bigger.

Antrim County Michigan... Apparently a “software error” caused only Biden ballots to be tabulated at several precincts throughout the county. This was the posted results by the county on Wednesday AM claiming 100% of the vote was in and counted. This was also one of the counties where Republican voters were raising the alarm on SharpieGate. County is doing a hand recount of all votes and could likely add a couple thousand votes for Trump. It stands out like a sore thumb in a small county but what about larger counties where a couple thousand MIA votes wouldn’t be easily noticed.
