Went to mount rainier in October. One of the most beautiful places in the USA.

A friend at my wifes church had cancer and a severe case of covid. They pulled the plug on the ventilator today. He was in his 50s. Starting to hit home.

Cuomo: Continue to monitor post-Thanksgiving numbers before making zone changes https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/cuomo-continue-to-monitor-post-thanksgiving-numbers-before-making-zone-changes/71-8a0ce9a6-2688-4a2f-bdb8-28a5fe7eee45?fbclid=IwAR3_Rx2nOs2R9zvCorcoeg1TH3SPEKunHuW1y-7L4G5f9wt9lS7NJF5EW3c

Going up quick, think we hit Aprils hospitalizations sometime in January?

80% of hospital beds in Erie County are full

Record case numbers for Erie county today.

Cuomo said 70% of spread is through at home gatherings which is impossible to stop. Unlikely we go to red. Should go back to Yellow as Niagara counties infection rate is higher than Eries right now. He brought out the live vaccine on his conference today. Said they are ready to distribute as soon as they get the ok from FDA in around 2 weeks.

I've dodged it for awhile, but finally came into direct contact with a confirmed case. Going to get tested later this week. My mom has stage 4 cancer and have to take her to Roswell for treatment next weds, so really thinking I don't want to risk it even with negative test.

It's spreading like crazy in Western NY. We didn't get hit hard in wave 1, but wave 2 it's everywhere.

411 hospitalizations in Erie county now. We're almost double the last waves hospitalizations. Any website to see if this is putting strain on hospital systems yet? Flu season is in full swing as well.

Some good news for Erie County small business $19 million flowing to small businesses from Covid-19 relief program https://buffalonews.com/news/local/19-million-flowing-to-small-businesses-from-covid-19-relief-program/article_2c03740e-332e-11eb-b499-77ddd5d018aa.html

Some New York state and Erie county data.

Some New York state and Erie county data.

That's only from Feb-Sep. If you include Oct/Nov what are we looking at 80-100 million infections?

It's spreading quickly around here. Quite a few people I know have confirmed infections. I didn't know anyone with it all summer.

15k fine and more importantly he lost his Crossfit designation. A pretty huge deal for a crossfit gym. He likely shuts down long term due to this. https://www.wgrz.com/article/money/business/crossfit-ends-affiliation-with-athletes-unleashed-after-email-surfaces/71-5af1e036-b626-4c68-bff6-4e09cf5a1421 " Dinero refuses to pay the fine and had planned to reopen his gym Monday, November 30 but he said after speaking with his legal team decided against it. "

NYS hospitalizations. I think we see this go up as we enter the 2nd wave until the 2nd week of January. Hopefully by then we see a downward trend with some semblance of herd immunity/vaccines rolling out.

Extrapolating those numbers of 25k cases in Erie county and 920k population, 200k in Erie county have had the virus or 21.7% of the population.

In regards to the Orchard Park gym owner... An Orchard Park gym owner whose defiance of Covid-19 restrictions has earned him national attention has been accused of responding to a customer requesting a refund with a racist, profanity-laced attack. Robert Dinero, owner of Athletes Unleashed, in July told the woman he would refund the $395 she was owed but not before calling her a "filthy, foreign, Third-World country piece of (expletive)" in his reply, which was punctuated with two other curse words https://buffalonews.com/news/local/gym-owner-who-defied-covid-19-rules-slammed-over-racist-profane-email/article_bd9b4ab2-31a9-11eb-b6f6-5ba96c79750d.html.

The actual infections in the US are likely over 100 million. You cannot go based on confirmed cases as most are asymptomatic or minor symptoms. The CDC just said likely infections are 8 times confirmed infections. Between vaccines and herd immunity, this thing is toast come summer.

He also didn't tell anyone to cancel thanksgiving. The rules are to keep it under 10 people.

Pretty sure that's fake news. This is how conspiracy theories start and how Trump is able to control so many people with it. The protestors, Terese said, also told her that Cuomo may have had his 89-year-old mother with him during this visit, something that seems strange on the face of it. Defenders of Cuomo have said it is impossible that Cuomo was in Western New York since he did an Albany radio show at noon that day. Further, the idea that Cuomo’ would bring his 89 year old mother with him lends an air of utter improbability to the story, they say. Artvoice contacted State Police and Amherst Police and were told by both that, as far as they knew, Cuomo was not in the area on Thanksgiving.
