Because I have to:

Winner...already happenning.

It can’t get any worse lol so yes, agree. It’s all relative...we are in the midst of another bad stretch though. Doesn’t mean we can’t have a good winter but when we look back at these years they will feel like the 80s.

Expect the same. It’s the 80s reruns.

It reacted negatively today just from the news. We do wish our fella (no matter how flawed he his) a speedy recovery.

The increasing difference/gap between the yinging and the yanging. Pretty alarming even if the sample size is relatively small.

Bookend winters are the new norm. Whether we ‘recover’ in Mar or April/May will make the difference on snow totals.

Great. So another early season 4 week winter followed by trash where the good pattern is always 10 days away.

He’ll be fine and show the world it’s NBD just in time for the election.

MWGA.

They won’t beat the Rays which is laughable considering the payroll differential. Money isn’t errthing.

The good thing about two shitty winters in a row, and 2020 nostalgia, is that I have zero expectations this season.

Kinda like when it snows in October...nothing to fear?

The monthly mean may not show it but I remember getting pretty nervous in October when it looked bad up there. I probably ended up being right for the wrong reasons though. I just don’t like seeing any holes up there in the fall.

In October. That’s my point. I know the correaltion is weak but it happenned.

That’s what I was told last year when I was concerned but it turned out to be a big problem.

Little piggies starting to rear their ugly tails in the LR.

Oh yea. I guess Will doesn’t have to do that for us now and weens have access to...the 84hr rgem clown map, on standby.

Just adding more marginal info to an already over crowded field.

That’s great but the problem is that type/amount of testing is rare in the private sector. My company hasn’t tested anyone upon our return. We’re at 50% capacity, I believe, on a rotational basis with just masks and social distancing guidelines. When asked why were weren’t being tested once a week, they didn’t have an answer besides stating that testing isn’t perfect. But somehow signing a sheet upon arrival every morning that you feel healthy is? This goes back to America not being on the same page. We don’t have a cohesive plan...practically kicking the proverbial covid can down the road as we see fit.

No thanks to you...the person who started the thread.

Oh. I didn’t think you were hinting at superior morality. This is simply my theory/opinion given the current state of affairs. While it is in our nature to prolong our lives and keep ourselves as young for as long as possible (as you say, what humans have done for centuries)...the motive, thesedays, is more about the money then at any other point in human history. There is too much cash at stake to cure this disease or reduce the impact of that disease, the first to a covid vaccine, etc. A family member works for a big consulting firm who consulted a big pharma corp with how to market opiates. They knew the danger of addiction and death but it was all about the bottom line. That’s just one example and maybe that has skewed my opinion but I’ve read more reports/articles indicating how the medical industry is a profit machine first and foremost. The well-being of society is secondary, sadly.

We don’t keep people alive longer or cure diseases better because we are morally superior then previous generations... we do so because there are billions at stake, billions to be made.

Plus the below study indicates, on average, ‘victims’ life expectancy was cut short by 11 years and not the ‘would have died this year anyway’ political BS that some like to throw around. But, as always, agendas lead some to disregard science or data while cherry picking misinformation to support their thinking. I’m sure there is info out there that supports the ‘would have died soon anyway’ theory so there is no way for most to change their opinions. The line in the sand has been drawn. https://www.pnas.org/content/117/36/22035

But...we were told that this ‘hardly affects anyone’.
