  1. What bothered me in the emails is spreaders being almost exclusively symptomatic. My entire family was so worried about hanging out with each other strictly because of this notion. How many viruses spread asymptotically vs symptomatically? He knew this in the beginning and kept saying how its extremely common for it to spread each way when that wasn't true. Another issue I have is that he knew there was a potential of it being lab made, or accidentally escaped from the lab very early and hid that notion until just recently. Here is a link to all his emails https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/20793561/leopold-nih-foia-anthony-fauci-emails.pdf
  2. So what’s up with fauci emails to wuhan lab leaders? Did he get caught?
  3. I had a 16 day trip planned to New Zealand in early April of 2020. Planned that thing for 6 months.
  4. Your dogs are beautiful, are all 3 yours? I really want to get a 2nd one, but travel so much its tough to get dog watchers.
  5. Next weekend looking toasty Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 83. Sunday Mostly sunny, with a high near 85.
  6. At the gym the last week and only saw a handful of masks being worn. I'd say 95% no mask vs 5% mask, might even be less than that.
  7. This dude is in better shape than 99.9% of people. He didn't die, but who would like to go what he had to go through? Exclusive: Minnesota Wild's Marco Rossi on COVID-19 complications, 'I'm just happy that I'm still alive' There continues to be one absolutely terrifying comment that still reverberates around his head. As the Minnesota Wild’s 2020 first-round pick attempted to negotiate with experts that he should at least be allowed to exercise and skate a little bit rather than be completely shut down for two months, it was explained bluntly to the teenage hockey star just how serious his medical diagnosis was. “The doctors told me if I played one more game in the World Junior Championship, this could have ended completely different,” Rossi said Tuesday, his voice still quavering from the memory of how close he may have been to a tragic ending. “I’m thankful to God that he supported me. … I’m just happy that I’m still alive.” Knowing Rossi was devastated by the realization that he was that close to potentially having his heart stop on the ice, Wild general manager Bill Guerin sent Rossi home to Austria to be with his parents. Rossi was petrified. Anytime he was alone, he worried his heart was going to stop. After returning home to Austria, Rossi lived with his parents and each night begged his mother, Claudia, and father, Michael, to sleep in his room. After being drafted by the Wild in October, Rossi signed his three-year, entry-level contract a few weeks later. The Wild assigned him to the ZSC Lions in Zurich, Switzerland, to allow him to play hockey and ramp up for a potential Wild training camp in the winter. He played one game, registered an assist but was then diagnosed with COVID-19. He experienced mild symptoms, including lower back pain. By the time he was cleared and ready to return, three other players tested positive and the team was put into quarantine. Still, during his comeback attempt with the Lions, Rossi said he was absolutely exhausted. He figured it was because he was so used to pushing his body to great lengths and his body must have been shellshocked from not being allowed to do anything during his 10-day COVID-19 quarantine. “My exhaustion (from Switzerland) always kept going. It didn’t stop. Like, it was never, ‘Now I’m back to 100 percent,’” Rossi said. “At the tournament, that was the highest point where I said, ‘OK, I can’t do it anymore. I’m so tired.’” Dr. Bill Morice, the president of Mayo Clinic Laboratories and chair of Lab Medicine and Pathology at the Rochester, Minn.-based hospital, explained there are four ways to diagnose myocarditis: Blood work can show an elevation of some of the enzymes specific to the heart muscle that can leak into the blood if there’s inflammation; EKG abnormalities; imaging, like an MRI; and a heart biopsy, which is the most definitive but not commonly done. After follow-ups to the initial bloodwork, Rossi and the Wild got definitive news that he indeed had myocarditis. Neither the Rossis nor Payer are blaming the ZSC Lions or Team Austria for clearing Rossi to return after his bout with COVID-19. “I don’t want to blame anyone,” Rossi said. “The COVID is so new to everyone, and nobody really knows what is the best reaction to do. … I’m just happy that I’m still alive.”

  9. Time to float in the pool and drink some trulys.
  10. 4 out of 5 of the last Mays have featured below average temps here, the only exception was 2018 with a +8.1 temps. Almost every other month has been above normal besides April/May, definitely a trend.
  11. Buffalo is at + .1 so far for May, with below average temps into Memorial day we will have our 4th out of 5th year in a row with below average temps for May. The only exception was 2018 where it was +8.1.
  12. Literally steady rain for 12 straight hours. Why can't we ever get a snowstorm like this?
  13. A well known poster over on New England forums passed away from covid at 32 years old, pretty tragic. His mom is still in hospital with it on ventilator. He used to message me on PM about lake effect snow all the time. RIP James.
  14. Neutral/Weak Enso looks to be the status of next winter, going really big on my forecast.
  15. Days like today remind you that you still live pretty far north, despite global warming. You can get ice pellets when its nearly June and you can get them in September. Only 3 months where that isn't possible. In the high peaks of the Adirondacks you can get snow in any month. There is still snow up there.
  16. I'm the exact opposite. All I know with Moderna had severe side effects, Pfizer zero side effects. Sample size of around 20 people.
