Just bought some tsla stock couple days ago. Wished I had gotten in earlier this year. it's bound to crash, but some think it'll hit $1000 per by eoy.

VT gov going overboard a bit requiring all kids returning to school after TDay to be asked if they went anywhere other than their house for TDay. If so, you have to quarantine for 10 days or take covid test. I'd tell the school to mind their own business.

Pretty much same for me. I'll eat some fish like haddock and salmon. Other seafood like clams, scallops are a no-go. It's more of a texture thing. Like a big chewy snot in my mouth. Sorry if I ruined anyone's late night dinner

Just wife and I. Were going to get covid tested so we could go to a friends, but figured it was too much hassle and no assurances your negative. We'll have a nice dinner at the table with the three cats

Ha, wouldn't doubt it

We had a ton of them

Los Angeles shuts down outside dining for next 3 wks. I'm sorry, but are they following any science?

Looks like SR opening tomorrow. Too bad it's going to be raining

Be nice to see first snow at some point soon. Other than a few flakes couple weeks ago, there's been zilch.

Our gov just issued restaurant closure curfew. All have to be closed by 9pm.

got a text from jeff the other day. Said he was alive and kicking. Not sure why he hasn't been on the board.

are you saying then that any tracing is futile at this point?

We should try reverse contact tracing. Rather then try and figure out all the people someone came in contact with, some countries trace back to the actual infected person that got said person exposed

Wife and I are getting rapid tests next week so we can go to a friend's house for Tday. An older (70s) couple and their son. I'd rather stay home, but so long as we're neg, I feel ok about going. They rarely go out, so not real worried about getting anything from them.

I wasn't being sarcastic at all, but whatever

This is what I hope our governor looks at before implementing any widespread lockdowns again. I've been going to the gym in the mornings and there is usually <10 people. I feel pretty safe. At night, there's probably 30 or so. This pales in comparison to pre-covid where there was easily 100+ at 530pm. Anyhoo, Maine CDC should have enough data and contact tracing at this point to know which establishments are considered hot spots and not impose a blanket shutdown like Spring

IDK, what?

Neighbors will all be spying on other neighbors ready to dial EMS. what a sad joke this is

then why was it setup that way? Who decided the threshold limit had to be that high if what you say is correct about viral loads and transmission?

lol, that certainly is way too high. 32 is what I was used to when running PCR/RTPCR.

No way. People aren't going to tolerate this for much longer. Plus case load should drop quickly by late Spring 2021 with vax rollout.

what is the Ct #?

total BS

This is what I am most concerned about. Where does one draw the line on the next outbreak. For instance, if flu cases next season seem to be ramping up more than usual, do we use these lockdowns and restrictions again, knowing that for decades we've never done this for flu? How many deaths would need to be met before restrictions were used? Who gets to decide if 50,000 or 100,000 deaths for flu would be too many and restrictions would need to be implemented. I just think covid has opened the door for future govt overreach.

So you're ok with restaurants and such still struggling with limited seating until middle of next year?
