Over 100,000 small businesses have already closed due to covid-19, this is despite PPP help. I know of several people who have come into my office with 20+ year old businesses that had to close due to not receiving funds from PPP and not enough capital to function while having to stay closed. In the coming months I expect this number to double/triple. We are well on our way into a depression for the first time since the 30s. Is all of this worth it? History will decide that in the coming years. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/05/12/small-business-used-define-americas-economy-pandemic-could-end-that-forever/ "But already, economists project that more than 100,000 small businesses have shut permanently since the pandemic escalated in March, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois, Harvard Business School, Harvard University and the University of Chicago. Their latest data suggests at least 2 percent of small businesses are gone, according to a survey conducted May 9 to 11."

My situation is quite different. I had 4-5 trips planned in 2020 and early 2021 before me and the wife decide to have our kid. She just turned 33 and want to have it by the time shes 35. Lots of complications can happen after 35. Once I have a kid I don't plan to travel for quite awhile. This virus literally ruined my life travel plans. Call me selfish, so be it. We will all be dead by then time were 80-90, we could die tomorrow in a car accident. I'll take my chances against the virus, and protect the elderly in their homes.

You have a much higher chance of getting COVID at work or grocery shopping then traveling.

That's highly debatable. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/21/why-governor-andrew-cuomo-praised-coronavirus-response-column/5220164002/ I don't understand this reasoning. I come into contact with about 50 new people a day at my job. I would come into contact with less then 50 people in my entire trip out west. Why is one safer then the other? One is outside, one is inside. Why are Lowes, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, etc... allowed to be open but small shops with less traffic not allowed? None of it makes sense to me. Are the PPP and unemployment going to be extended? We are 27 trillion in debt? Do you understand what that means? Do we let small businesses just fail if another lockdown occurs? 89% of businesses in this country have less then 20 employees. The large businesses that were allowed to stay open have become monopolies. Bezos on his way to becoming the first trillionaire. How does any of this make sense? https://sbecouncil.org/about-us/facts-and-data/ What is the approximate timeline in when this all ends? Do you know? What if a successful vaccine never gets found? Whats the end game? Is this the end game?

Yeah I'm still going either way just took off almost 2 weeks in September. I've been working the entire time and only have used 1 PTO day out of my 23 for the year. I plan to fly into Vegas, rent my car and then be in nature for 2 weeks camping at various places. I'll be more socially distant on vacation then at work, thats for sure. Was thinking something similar to this but with 3-4 days in Yosemite and a stop in San Diego.

Sorry I was at work and quickly posted that based on WNY totals. These are 24 hour totals 48 hour totals across our area have been 1-2". https://kamala.cod.edu/ny/latest.nous41.KBUF.html

Literally insane. I was planning to do a west coast road trip through the mountains in September. It better be lifted by then. How would they even enforce that? If I flew out to Vegas and flew back to NY and they made me quarantine, would I just go home for 2 weeks? Would I be able to still work? What if I drove to a state in which had high cases, but flew out of a state that had low cases. How would they even know. Ridiculous...

1-2" across most of the area https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PNS&issuedby=BUF

It's killing me. Had June 30th set in my calendar for a 3 hour workout session. Now there is no real timeframe...Meanwhile I'm watching instagram stories of my buddies in California and Florida making gains.

Reminds me of the winter pattern that set up for 6 months. Hopefully this sets up until November and then we get a reversal.

Yeah it rained here pretty much all afternoon. Has to be well over an inch of it. Felt like a late September cold front coming through with the low clouds and chilly temps.

I'm really interested in how sports happen this year. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/who-has-tested-positive-covid-19-sports-nikola-jokic-novak-djokovic-among-newest-reported Clemson University 28 student-athletes and members of the athletic staff at Clemson have tested positive for the virus, according to college football reporter Bruce Feldman. The Athletic's Grace Raynor reported that 23 of the players were members of the football team. 13 Texas Football Players The University of Texas announced on Thursday that 13 players in the football program tested positive for COVID-19. The announcement came just 10 days after the university brought players back to campus for workouts on June 8.

Prevent what's happening in Arizona, Florida, and Texas.

Hmm not here thunder lightning and heavy rain for last 30 mins

Storms coming at a good trajectory to not hit the lake breeze.

I remember it quite differently. Lots of trolling from chris from pendleton. Remember @WesterlyWx

Looks like we cool down for a few days before we heat right back up.

If stage 4 is next Tuesday that means gyms will start opening up. Will be curious to see the mask rules here as Florida is virtually a non requirement.

I don't then all the trolls would be back.

Only 267 deaths on Sunday, the lowest in months.

Buffalo is .6 above normal for the month despite the chilly start.

Yeah its definitely drier than usual. June-September is usually quite dry, but it hit earlier this season.

I saw that, makes me more excited for lake effect season.

This week is my perfect summer. Mid 80s and decent dews. Night walks with high dews and that muggy feeling to the air with the crickets chirping. Everything feels alive. Just perfect.
