    Remember, hail apparently counts as snow, as detailed on here a few weeks back. There’s a shot at snow in every month!

    On the flip side of that coin, a quick Google search turns up the fact that as of January there were 530 US teachers who died as a result of covid (that we know of, so the number is likely higher). And the fact is, given that teachers are usually able to retire before the age of 60, very few of them are in the vulnerable age group. So there’s a delicate balance between death and how much we’re willing to let students “fall behind” their peers in other states and countries that are mostly doing the same thing.

    But standardized tests and all that nonsense... how could we possibly cancel those?! /s

    Ah yes, that’s a plus. Back before the pandemic and before I decided not another dime of my hard earned money was going into Bob Nutting’s pockets, I tried to go to one game in that opening series (not necessarily the opener itself, so an evening game) every year. I remember going to one in maybe 2016 where the high was in the low 40s and then skipping out on one in 2018 because it was too cold with snow flurries. (I’m admittedly conflicted because of my well documented position on cold weather.)

    I honestly can’t remember. I think it’s probably a combination of that and the virus was still very new so we couldn’t treat it as effectively as we can now. Also testing (at least here, not sure about Italy) was abysmal, so the denominator of that fraction was probably much higher than on paper.

    Indeed, we’re officially at 81 at PIT, which hasn’t been reached here since September 12th.

    81. We made it. First time since September.

    What was I saying the other day about this turning into something like SARS? Edit: not saying it will. But things like this at least raise the possibility that it could.

    They’d be uninvited if I were vaccinated and hosting the gathering.

    I also don’t. Fortunately I don’t associate with those parts of my extended family often if ever.

    I think dta should test that theory.

    No kids here, but I’m very much against kids playing sports wearing masks. If it’s so much of a risk that they have to wear a mask on the field/court, maybe the thought process should be more along the lines of whether or not sports should be played at all.

    I think it’s time to make my exit for the day now that we’ve gone into full on typo police mode.

    What agenda do “some of us” have? Are people going to think we’re cool? Are we going to get laid tonight? Are we going to get a raise? All because we posted some extremist pro-mask, pro-vax stuff on a weather forum?! Inquiring minds want to know! Edit: in a coronavirus thread on a weather forum.
  15. TimB
    I have an agenda? That’s news to me.
  16. TimB
    Like I said, I’ve come to agree to disagree with you. The difference between you and dta is you’re arguing in good faith.

    Bacteria cause infections. A person wearing a dirty mask can cause an infection. The mask itself can’t.
  18. TimB
    But if your opinion is “guns don’t kill people,” the only logical conclusion is “masks don’t make you sick.” And vice versa. My opinion is masks don’t make you sick, so I can only logically say guns don’t kill people.
  19. TimB
    Okay fine, let’s split hairs. April. Is there really a difference between 12 vs 13 months of knowing something?
  20. TimB
    You didn’t answer the question, I compared it to something else that is very well documented but I’ll bet your opinion differs on that one.
  21. TimB
    Never worn a mask before? Have they been in a cave since last March?
  22. TimB
    “Captain know it all.” It’s going to be another day of mud slinging, I see. Can you simultaneously say masks cause infection but guns don’t kill people?
  23. TimB
    76 already. I don’t see any way we fall short of 80 today. Edit: except for afternoon clouds and a north wind.
  24. TimB
    They don’t in some situations. People who don’t know you’re supposed to wash them, despite this not being a new concept, cause their own infections.

    Truth be told, we don’t really have permanent 80s any time of year. My recency bias is showing after last summer, when we reached our first 80 a month late and our last 80 a week early, but had nearly wall to wall 80s and 90s in between. Most summers give us modest cool downs that are much appreciated.
